I like a lotta lumps!

Kinda like the Beatles walking across Abbey Road with Paul barefoot....designed to make you wonder, done purposely for a reason, and both about death!!!

...and some reside just down the road!

You are in my prayers. Thank you, and your dad, for the great memories!

Growing up, I was taught by several nuns. I've had enough "penguin encounters" to last a lifetime!

Since I was not able to go to the park this year (and won't be able to next year either) I have been looking at YouTube videos of The Beast. There is a new one from this year - on ride, front seat. I noticed there are long pieces (stretches) of what looks like wood along the circuit, between the left & right rails (parallel to the rails). Please explain.

Just think....if they left the ride just the way it is and Dippin' Dots took it over, they could give you a cup of their stuff with a bit of milk in it, send you on the ride, and at the end you'd have a really different kind of milk shake. What marketing this could be!

Everybody's got it wrong - when they tried to drop WindSeeker while it was spinning 30 mph at the top, it made the center column sink. Why does everyone insist it's Vortex? (of course, neither is sinking - but it makes for yet another great rumor!)

Just a quick question and a side note.... Have you ever been on a Disney monorail that had a flat tire? It's quite interesting!

Just a thought...and a question.... If you were to take a Zorb ball ride on SOB's track, would it still get jack-hammered all the way along?

You mean this isn't quality conversation?

I stopped at a rest area in I-75 North today, just north of Lima, Ohio, and there was a flat bed carrying bright white coaster track stopped there. Interesting.

This may sound silly, but I have heard tales of people seeing "images" and hearing "sounds" at or near the top of WindSeeker. Anybody else see or hear anything about this?

Maybe it was melted down to make rails for the fast pass line - to be installed in 2012!

Both Raptor & Mantis were built after the park closed for the season, however I remember the track for Mantis arrived ahead of time. You may recall that the Mill Race was remeoved to make way for Raptor whereas the area for Mantis only required a modification to the train's tracks.

Hey.....is one of the dinos at CP gonna catch on fire? I mean, if they want to copy KI exactly, well......

I sat in the back of Diamondback and was not all that impressed - it was not as smooth as I thought it would be. The future will tell, but I am guessing that DB will get a lot rougher as the years go by - and how do you re-track a steel coaster? The Beast could be around forever - and will change, too, through the years - but at least it can be fixed if it gets to be too much for riders to endure.

Ah, yes, but would anyone really care to see it, much less pay to see it?

Will this DA, that's supposedly gonna be at CP the one from KI or is there another "set" of these robots?

What would that person's title be?

So......what happens if one of those balls at CP turns out not to be a "regulation" beach ball - whatever that is - and the whiole stunt is null and void? Gues it's good for business (hee, hee)

I also thought of this.....I already paid my entrance fee to get into the park. Thousands of others will have too - and now we have to wait while others who paid more get to cut in front of us? We'll just got to a different park next time and spend our money there. Like I said before - when will it end? (or should I say WHERE will it end) It's also reminding me of Dr. Seuss' Sneetches - some have starz on tharz!

So for $50, you can go to the front of the line. Next, they'll sell a $100 pass to go to the front of the line before the others go to the front of the line. Then, they'll sell a $150 pass to go to the front..........

We should make a trade with Knoebles - our Son of Beast for their Flying Turns. The seem to have good results re-constructing coasters and King's Island could then still claim another woodie!

Well, they could keep the part coming out of the station - all the way to the bottom of the lift hill - then have it return to the station. Son of Beast Jr.
