Thanks for putting me in the vid, everyone has to know how that worker walked

I arrived at FH line at 10:00 this morning and waited a good 4-5 hours before getting on. I was like all the rest who got off the ride, I said "It was worth it!"

Maverick to open Saturday, May 26th!
Captain Nemo replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I wish Delirium went that fast in 2005! -
Well it is good that they took every shot of the loop out. We as coaster people may not find SOB as a major coaster everyone flocks to but we are very wrong. They can't advertise a coaster with an element missing.
-
The way I do it is upload them to my Facebook, save them to my computer then host them on the net.

It was a great day to get in the park. I joined a friend at 7PM in the park. We had only two hours before it closed. We rode Face/Off, Drop Zone, Adventure Express, Vortex, Flight of Fear, watched them cycle Firehawk once (That thing is fast!), Vortex, Tomb Raider, and Beast at least 5 times. Also some good news, the FoF sign under racer is gone and is now... Yeah, this is from a phone camera, a better resolution will be up sometime.

Maverick Update!
Captain Nemo replied to UncleHenry's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Maybe they will sell the track at next winter soar! I have no fear Maverick will still have some sidewinding! -
Maverick Update!
Captain Nemo replied to UncleHenry's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
As a friend of mine said to me on AIM today... I have no doubt it will still be a great ride. While the heartline roll added much hype, Maverick still has plenty of other great surprises. -
More Action at Ft. Kinzel!
Captain Nemo replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
You are one very lucky guy, and at the same time I pity you. Why would I pity you... because I can see the line for Firehawk just like how the FoF line was 10 years ago. By the end of this summer your going to be beat, but hey I was going to pick Firehawk as my first choice anyway if I was able to return. -
These polls are the ones I like... they make me really think! I would have to say the Tower, that way I could refect on all the rides.

Holiday World's Bakuli
Captain Nemo replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Holiday World is the one place I keep talking about, but the one place I have not gone to. The Concept art is pretty cool, the slide looks huge, and tall! I am happy with what Holiday Would has done with the Waterpark. -
I remember seeing you at the waterpark Avitar! I have to say my Jacuzzi is the 2nd best outdoor waterpark. Number one on the list is the old school Slip-and-Slide! I would rate it a 5 in the thrill scale, it is pretty intense. I have only been to The Beach and Boomerang Bay once so I can't really make a choice.

The Changing Face of the Island.
Captain Nemo replied to King Maple The Tree King's topic in Coming Attractions
C'mon now, don't dis the greenery of Ohio... even if they are the most bland trees in the nation. Were not near any lake, or ocean so we don't have any lush looking trees, And trees in Dollywood differ from KI. It is the area we live in. I went to Dollywood last month and spent an hour looking at the plants. Dollywood has a green thumb for plants! Kings Island has trees surrounding the park, there is not much in the park itself, but it is the atmosphere that makes up for it. -
Top Gun actually holds my 2nd longest wait. It was 1999, when they used the queue under the station. The line was about 4 hours. I agree that the ride is not worth the wait, you only should wait that long unless riding in the front.
-
In 1999, my father and I flew up to Cedar Point. It was a nice clear day, It could not have been a better day that this! Downside was it almost 100 degrees. We waited in line for Raptor for four and a half hours.

When did you start going to KI and where did you hear about KIC?
Captain Nemo replied to Young Gunz's topic in Kings Island
I first came to KI in 1996, I heard about KIC back in the PKIUniverse.com days. I really became a part of the community when I first sent Ryan an email. Infact I still have it! This email is from December 11, 2004. That same day he replyed to my email. -
35 years, alot has changed! Heres to another great 35! And a special Happy Birthday to Jeff S!
-
They were infact taking some video in the park. Ryan and I were in the park on Sunday and noticed a video crew recording from inside queue area. I would guess they are making a Cedar Fairish type video for the ride, or they are doing something doing research.

This is Captain Nemos rating. 5 Beast Son of Beast Face/Off Flight of Fear Vortex Racer 4 Delirium Drop Zone Adventure Express Firehawk Tomb Raider: The Ride Italian Job: Stunt Track 3 Avatar White Water Canyon Fairly Odd Coaster
-
While I am used to the ratings of Last year I can understand some of the changes this year. diSab, to answer your question. Adventure Express is quite a jerky coaster (and because it is an arrow coaster). Top Gun is quite a smooth ride, smoothest coaster in the park IMHO. Italian Job was most likly bumped to a 5 because if its tight turns, high Gs, and elements involved. Cedar Fair has an act to rate rides very high. If anything, I questions the fact that Avitar and Drop Zone are the same rating. I just dont think that you can lump everything in to five categories of ratings.
-
I agree with many of you. The way I see it is like adding another seatbelt in a car. While wearing one belt in a car is very safe, wearing another belt is x2 the safty.
-
There is no need to yell. While some people of larger proportions may not be able to ride this year due to the seatbelts they are an added safty feature and I have to give props to Cedar Fair for that move. I understand that Top gun and Vortex were more friendly to those guests that were larger last year and I am sure Guest Relations will hear alot of complants due to this.
-
Well, while you make a great point, the forums have their pro- Paramount and/or Cedar Fair users and anti- Paramount and/or Cedar Fair users. Up untill around the time (as Dane said) Paramount was selling the parks some resentment grew but I beleave that after this 2007 season most of us will like the changes.
