Awesome pictures, looks like you guys had fun. Where all the effects working tonight? Like the bumbing seats?

Yet, did Rebel Yell spawn the 2nd golden age of rollercoasters?

Wild Beast is the same as Grizzly at PKD and PGA, I just noticed that.

Im not risking my job because I dont work there anymore. I worked for tech services for more than 2 years before getting a new job this year at ADT. And who are you to tell me that my post is crap? Do you even work in the park? I know whats there because I helped put it all in there. Don't try to act like you know everything about Kings Island, because if you did you'd know that theres no such warehouse anywhere on the property. Basically everything they have ever taken out and havent sold or given away is still at the park in random spots. If you go back to the old wild animal kingdom near the greenhouse you'll see pieces of king cobra, like 20 old trams including one that was flipped over in the storm that brought the sign down, even the lighting panel from the old sign is back there. Now I know most employees of the park wont ever get the chance to get back there, but theres even pics on this site that show some of that stuff. Don't you dare call me a liar, i've been around, i've seen a lot of things at the park. I'm tired of you kids who worked on a ride for a year or two thinking you know all about Kings Island when really all you did was stand in a station or a drive box on the same couple rides day in and day out. If you think i'm not telling the truth why don't you ask some people who work at the park still (people who would know and have actually been in there like I have). What do I have to gain by making up a BS story? Chill out you moron, I was only saying it because if you were an employee and/or still are one you know your not supposed to say things like that. Even if you werent, why would you go spreading that on the internet does the park really want people to go looking in there now cause you posted it on the net? I never claimed I knew everything and I dont know everything. I do work at the park and I'm not saying if that stuff is in there or not, but even if there is theres no reason to say it and you know your not supposed to even if your not an employee, chill out buddy, its just a message board.

standbyme, carowinds is a bit different from PKI. It doesnt have a mountain or eifel tower. It has a racing coaster designed by John Allen that is somewhat similar to ours and the racing coaster runs over the North Carolina/South Carolina border. It's a very nice park and it sports two B&M's. A B&M stand up and a B&M invert, which is my favorite coaster. Great pics AZkindaguy!

TR:TR definently has the best theming, just wait tilla ll the trees grow in and you cant see the big building, people will really wonder what its like just seeing some random cave.

So people like to have fun at PKI and make bad jokes. I thought having fun at PKI was a good thing but I guess not. Its completely fine, I'm just saying it gets on my nerves hearing it everytime some one walks by, when some 7 foot guest comes by and says "am I tall enough?" I'm not ognna be rude, I'm gonna play a long with him. Im just saying its annoying and before you munipulate my post, no one ever said having fun was a bad thing.

I am, thats why I said I took them.

Hurler cant beat Beast or SOB or Racer, but it can beat Beastie.

I rode Hurler at PC, its a good ride. Is PKD's hurler station enclosed in that big paramount box like PC's?

^ Relax dude, I was just kidding with you. Do you guys have a coaster called "Hurler" as well as Grizzly?

But what is still the flagship park?

I think when The Beast turns 49 it will be closed all year and PKI will not tell us whats going on and when it has its 50th anniversary they will surprise us in the woods of ohio.

Those people that are employees, I encourage you to confiscate those glasses, they are park property, and it can be considered theft. Also, it helps with maintaining that ride. I had to confiscate three pairs last Sunday, it's really annoying, the guests I took them from complain that they found them on the ground, idiots, I cant wait till work Friday when I get to go take some more from idiots who steal . The most annoying guest habbit for me is one that I noticed my first day of work thsi year. I was working Beast greeter for the very first time and everytime a guest would ocme by I'd say "Have a good ride" or "Have awonderful day". But 7 out of 10 people who come by make jokes about the height sign when they are obviously tall enough. I cant tell you how many times this season I've heard "Hey and so and so am I tall enough!?!?!?! Hardy har freaking har!"

If you want to ride a ride like Bavarian Beetle there is the same make and model at Americana/Lesourdsville Lake in Middletown, unfortuanently Americana is SBNO

I think we can finnaly lay this topic to rest.....Both PTC wood coasters are classic. They are eventually going to be torn down, however, it wont be soon.

Thats because your having too much fun to notice!

Kings Island put in a winner this year, thanks Dane!

I know Carowinds still has an Enterprise, although I dont quite remember if it sat two people per car or just one. I went a few years ago and I think I remember my dad sitting behind me in the same car but I could mistaken.

Chef, drop by and say hi some time when I'm working on The Beast.

I think that round ball is probably going to be a new Eurobungee ride, but I agree it would be better if they removed two pay to play rides and put in a real ride.

Why didnt they get Henry Winkler too? "hhhheeeeeeeyyyyyyyyy" Sorry for use of the cheesy line, but hell, Fonzi was awesome!

Its fine that he asked, if you dont know something you ask a question, its that simple.

The Pepsi Python at Coney Island now is quite similar to a Zyklon.

"NOT REAL GUNFIRE! THAT WOULD BE CRAZY!"
