A very close friend of mine hurt her back on SOB. She didn't report it and now suffers daily with pain. There is a lump on her back and I wouldn't be surprised if someday she will need surgery. F*** this ride!

OK. It just seems to me that these new Intamin creations are ground hugging, tight twisting, similar movements and such to Maverick and, if KI is gonna get a new machine, I'd like it to be totally different. Just my opinion.

Cookie cutter? The Blitz coasters are nothing like cookie cutter (and there are only 2 of them), more geometrical ride like http://rcdb.com/778.htm?p=1157, are cookie cutter. Blitz's are too well flowing and (obviously) not very geometrical. Turn left, turn right, go upsidedown, get launched, turn left, turn right, blah, blah, blah!

I won't have to cross my ankles anymore! Yippee!

Another thing.... Those Intamin Maverick-like coasters are getting somewhat "cookie-cutter-ish". It's time for something completely different, and King's Island should be the park that gets it!

One that works!

Funny how I burp up bluberry waffles (frozen - doesn't matter which brand). Wonder if they use the same stuff as the ice cream (or whatever it is)?

Very nice article!

I'm gonna stay away from those antique cars! But, really, people are going to have injuries and those need to be dealt with in a fair and timely manner.

I'm also curious to know how many more of these "timber towers" were sold (under HUSS) and have problems?

I have a huntch there's more to it than what's told in the news story.

Oh, no! Not more about "the loop"!!!!!

did you forget the overgrown swingset (WindSeeker) that when i tried to ride this summer was closed for a maintenance issue, & the one day i did get to ride; i couldnt fit in the middle of the day, but fit perfectly @ night... Yes, but WindSeeker is something that will last a long time, whereas Dinos Alive, although "from millions of years ago" won't be around as many seasons.

I guess the first bunch of dinos didn't make all that much difference, and the second set of dinos won't matter that much either! However, you would think that getting a new CEO would have made the list.

I believe this one swings faster than the Huss model.

Ah, but Drachen Fire had very bad engineering, abrupt turns, & a bad ride experience. Wait - so does.........

That's not all that gets stiff when it's cold - "maybe some things that are not on the trains, even" (said in my best Snagglepuss voice!)

What lock is that key for?

If I could have a nickle for every car that paid for parking.......

I bet they give a smoother ride this way!

Anything to make a frickin' buck! They're gonna get theirs someday.

They can stick all of this where the sun don't shine.

I know my eyes aren't the best, but I fail to see what is being said about the photos. Please provide detailed info when responding.

There had been more time & words spent on this thread than CF has spent on making a decision.
