I'll be 96 or 97 in 2079. Hopefully if I'm still alive then I'll still be riding coasters Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 with Tapatalk 4

Cheetah Hunt leaves riders stuck
Oldiesmann replied to Browntggrr's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I was part of the group of KICers that got evac'd from Blue Racer on the lift hill on Opening Day a couple years ago. -
This was posted on the "Defunct Nostalgic Amusement Parks" Facebook page. Those of you who grew up in northeastern Ohio may remember this place, which apparently closed in 1984.

It was at one time. They changed the music either last year or in 2012 (don't remember).

This one would be great. It's got the Celtic theme and is a bit mysterious. "Dyfuna" by Terry Oldfield Terry Oldfield is the older brother of composer Mike Oldfield (of "Tubular Bells" fame) and younger brother of singer Sally Oldfield (who had a big hit with "Mirrors" in the UK in the late 70s). Like his siblings, much of Terry's music is of the new age / progressive rock style. The album this song is on came out in 1992.

I need to check and see when my CC renewal is due. Should be coming up soon. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 with Tapatalk 4

Hopefully the weather will co-operate this year. Nothing like waiting out in Rivertown Arcade for over an hour due to torrential downpours. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 with Tapatalk 4

Looks like USA Today finally got things right. It now says 4,124 feet. It would be nice for them to verify things before publishing the articles though. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 with Tapatalk 4

My first time riding DB was around 9am on the first day of Ride Warriors Weekend in May. I ended up riding it 20+ Times that weekend. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 with Tapatalk 4

"Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi or "Welcome To My Nightmare" by Alice Cooper would be good Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 with Tapatalk 4

You're correct. The site once occupied by Chester Park is home to CIncinnati Water Works offices and assorted other businesses. That's only about 5 minutes from my house.

Stumbled across this video just now and thought folks here would enjoy it. It's a video of the classic Scott Joplin piece "Solace" featuring dozens of old postcards of Coney Island and other Cincinnati attractions.

I'm seeing the bug now. If I like it, the "unlike" button shows up immediately, but if I refresh the page or go somewhere else and come back, it vanishes again.

Working fine for me in both Firefox (23) and Chrome (33 beta).

I would expect end of the month at least. Still lots of supports and track to install, but they're making good progress. The weather has cooperated pretty well too - one major snowstorm back in early December and the ridiculous cold snap last week have been the only notable weather issues this season so far.
-
The one shown in that picture is in the process of being connected now, so it's definitely possible that they could get another one up today.

Another piece of track is in the air

If that's the case with Coney's Super Round Up, I can definitely see why. That thing is plenty intense in its current form. I can't imagine it going any faster.

Dick's Last Resort Coming to The Levee
Oldiesmann replied to Oldiesmann's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
It will be interesting to see how long this place lasts. Jeff Ruby's Tropicana, which originally occupied that spot, was huge. Eric Deters' Bulldog's seemed popular enough but didn't last long (not entirely sure why). I've heard that the rent for that spot was $10k a month, but with new management since then (the former manager resigned and was last seen managing Bridgewater Falls near Hamilton), things may have changed. As far as "finally" something new - there have been other new venues at the Levee recently. A new dance club called Flashbacks recently opened in the space originally occupied by Shadowbox (and later by a teen club called Blast), and a new bar and grill called River Rock opened last month in the space once occupied by Jefferson Hall (and briefly by the highly-touted Kentucky Bourbon bar called The Still, which suddenly closed in October). Also, a small sandwich shop called Petra Cuisine opened last year in the space once occupied by Smoothie King (serving gyros and similar items, and baklava for dessert). Things are slowly improving Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 with Tapatalk 4 -
The new ride at Coney reminds me a lot of Power Surge at Beech Bend:

Sounds like nightlife at The Levee is about to get more interesting... http://nky.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20140106/NEWS0103/301060016/Dick-s-Last-Resort-bring-laughs-Levee Note that the article says that employees must "audition" and that training staff will "teach employees how to behave". Wikipedia says the chain is "known for its intentional employment of obnoxious staff". The chain's website says that they're "The Joint Yer Mama Warned You About".

In the winter time there's also Perfect North Slopes. If you're not into skiing or snowboarding, you can easily waste an afternoon there on the snowtube lanes. It's not the cheapest thing in the area ($25 for unlimited tubing during the week or $25 for 2 hours / $30 for 3 hours on the weekends), but it's a ton of fun.
