^Kind of like an Adult Swim for PKIcentral? All young kids out of the pool. The only problem with this is that theres no way to enforce it to tell whos lying or not, I dont have my real age listed and anyone who isnt personally known on here could just change their age to gain acess plus who says you cant reminice, the few people who actually share possitive memories open up questions for the younger kids to ask. If the younger kids coulndt read your ramblings about the past park theyd learn a lot less about it. I like hearing people like WooferBear's stories about the way the park used to be and I dont think a forum like this could be enforced nor work well.

That was fun last night chef, i agree about TRTR, I as well was dissapointed about how the pre-show works, sorry I couldnt join you guys for dinner afterwards, I got thrown back on the highway and couldnt get a good place to turn around.

Wow it seems everyone has a credible source, either some people jsut cant keep their mouth shut or a lot of you are just blowing out hot air, either way everyone has presented good points and some interesting evidence to suggest Cedar Fair could be looking to aquire some of the paramount parks, just a reminder to everyone that anythning you read on here or any other fan site is not gospel truth, and needs to be taken with a large grain of salt. Tonight Boddah, Zoso, italianchef, and I were discussing a theory that if Cedar Fair were to aquire PKI or possibly some other parks that maybe they would want to ditch the paramount themes yet keep the nickelodeon themes and use those throughout their other parks, I could see this being quite expensive though but would be an interesting strategy for Cedar Fair to play.

its also showing right now on my computer.

Thats cool, I may get to make the trip up there to try it, who built it?

^Id like to know where you got the number 250,000 and if your a supervisor representing the park on here Id watch what you say in some of your other posts. Like Sob Tom said, it was just a mistake, mistakes happen, I'm sure you've made a few and forced others to deal with the problems you've caused. It happens to everyone. What did the guy do to get security called on him for?

wow, just wow did you actually make that yourself?

^Yes, it has since those trains were put on.

^Theyre the same trains, click on the image and then click on it again to view it in full size and look closely, then look ato ne of PKIC's pics of the trains, theyre the same trains.

Cyclones are back this year too, so atleast theres some hokcy around here although its not at the gardens....

Anyone know what this thing at the bottom of the picture is?

Something I just noticed: If you look at King Maple's second anbd first picture (or any picture of the SOB trains for that matter) you notice that the first car has a slightly different paint scheme with yellow on the front, instead of it being all red as opposed to the other cars. Sob's last car also had this paint scheme except the yellow was on the back end of the car. Now, if you look at King Maple's second picture youll notice that the last car (presumable car number 5) has that yellow tail paint scheme, meaing that it is actrualyl car #6. Obviously the cars have been moved around to keep the paint scheme together, both train cars number 5 would have had to be taken off then had car 6 attached, does this mean that the change (for now atleast) is really taken effect? Just something interesting I noticed.

Don Helbig is a fantastic man, he is always friendly when you meet him and jsut an all around good guy. I've met and spoke with him at hockey games and at KI.

Great pics as always AZkindaguy, how is skyhawk compared to maXair adn duhlee, I heard a lot of people complaining because they though this ride would be too much like the frisbees.

station ques and the 2nd que house were open from about 2 - close

I cant wait till im up there in June to ride it.

Are you so sure that its track under those tarps? Theres no real definite picture.

As a personal aquaintence of King Maple I can assure you that he most likely knows way more about the amusent park industry than you or some former ride op do especially at Kings Island. Your word is no good without proof, if we have PKD's trains proivde a better source or some legitimate speck of evidence or else no one on here will take it seriously.

so is this open yet? and if so how is it?

Top Gun the jet coaster, carowinds. Best coaster hands down!

it was located behind timberwolf wasnt it?

FOF originally had 4 trains with OTSR's but I think wehn Premeire made the new trains, they only made 3.

I was unlucky enough to go to Animal Kingdom the year before Expediition Everest open. I could see it under construction. Animal Kingdom absolutely sucks except for Everest.

Actually there is a reason for it being that loud. The anti rollbacks on that ride have to be a lot stronger than any other at KI because of the weight of those trains. Also since the lift is probably the smoothest part of that ride I'd say that is the least of their concerns right now. It's easily fixable, and the trains don't weigh that much since they are smaller than Little Bill's Coaster. Id like to know where you got that knowledge. Great pictures King Maple!

^Why did he bring in a hand gun? What an idiot.
