Kings Island SOB Coaster Quest: The Quest for Brain Damage Rob Nungster and I went up to PKI for some fun. We arrived and parked in the gold pass lot and were boarding Son of Beast at around 9:20 He wanted to ride row 1.1 I am a chicken so I road in the back. Next ride right after I road in 1.2 great smooth ride 1.3 Started getting the crap kicked out of me. 2.1 (this is one of the more painful seats) crap kicked out of me Starting to hurt by that point. 2.2 Okay ride but now the train was full and it was speeding up. 2.3 Starting to hurt again my shoulder and neck were getting sore. 3.1 BEAT THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF ME. Water/pop break 3.2 okay middle ride. Back was hurting a bit. The forces in the loop today made it more fun 3.3 Coming into the rose bowl, I was hurting bad Then Coming into the break run I heard Crunch crack. I started cussing a storm I was in pain I just held on tight to the grab bar and just toughed it out. In our quest this was our boss. I got off and requested we take a break. We went down to the flyers and took 3 good flights. Me and Rob can ride in back of each other and not screw each other up cause we know how to fly. I twisted the tub around decently. It was 12:30 and we were hungry so we went down to Bubba Gump’s Shrimp C.O and ate there to try it. Rob had shrimp I had fish. It was very good. Decent amount of tartar sauce. We BSed for a bit and then I said hey there’s some guy that looks just like your brother (glasses were filthy and sweat was in my eyes.). It was chuck! He came by for a bit (we hit the flyers for a bit again and chuck left). I found out on the trek to SOB again that they will refill the water bottles with water for free! We then made a snap decision and went to Action Theater. SB3D had a hellalong line but the lost temple thingy was a walk on. The movie was an I-werks made in 1995. It was okay I’ve seen worse (Dino Island 1 and 2. smash factory and meteor attack.) We then for some reason ended up in Rivertown. We hopped in line for White Water Canyon. The line looked to be about an hour and a half so we bailed. My feet were killing me so we sat and BSed about crap in front of Wings for a bit. We hit up Scooby and had a good ride (I had about 1200). We then made our way to the car so I could put some sunscreen on. We came back in and were on our way to SOB but we saw that the Majestic show was 5 mins away from starting. We agreed and went in (not only to cool off but hey I never go to the shows). I was impressed with the show. The dancing was good and the sets were cool. Tricks were okay and I had a nice cherry flavored drink to cool off. This show was of very good quality and I was impressed. We went back to SOB it was a walk on. 4.1 That was it for me in the 2nd boss kicked my butt all over that ride I got off and had to go to 1st aid. They were concerned and had me comeback guy checked me out and said I pulled something. Gave me some pain killers and sent me on my way. Rob continued the quest in my absence. I sat in front of a Coke machine and dosed a bit while he finished the quest. About an hour later he was done and we went back to the flyers. I snagged a good tub it was a decent ride. We then went over to the carousal And road. I love that ride. We went back to Scooby. I had a GREAT Gun! I was getting targets 2 and 3 times. And we hit the targets in the library (amazing). I had like 600 while Rob had 30. In the 1st room. I had almost 2000 with NO slowdowns. My gun was great! We then left the park. The end.

You could just call him the meff geibert game with red hair and him not in a suit.

Sorry I get west Virginia and Virginia mixed up. PKI sold the ride with the spare that they broke as well.

Monorail was removed cause they didnt need it anymore. After the Country safari thing got old the started adding rides. S'demon was sold to a park in virgina that cant do crap with it. It sits SBNO now. I will be scrapped soon due to poor maintance on theother parks end. heres a photoPhoto heres one more recentclick me

Racer Did lock PTC standard bars "buzz bars" do lock Demon at PGA is a clone of Demon at SFGAm They were at one time twin parks. more or less a modifed corkscrew model. In fact Demon was called turn of the century then they changed its theme and added a loop. Screaming demon on the other hand (also called demon) Was a arrow shuttle loop I believe arrow used a weight drop system simlar to the Other shuttle loops at PGA and SFGAm (at the time Both shuttle loops at those parks haev been removed). S'demon Was removed for amazon falls (congo falls) In 87 I believe. It was the anchor ride for lion country safari for a really long time. This was when Octoberfest took up much of what we know today is Action Zone. A eatery also opened with amazon falls I believe.

The trick to that is Delirium dosen't make you very sick.

Pin is a maybe have to see what cafepress has sitting around. I have them....somewhere. Stalking jeff. If i have my camera anything can happen and usually does.

Arrow Sitdown Looper and a Arrow Suspeneded coaster. The restaints may be stuck between one click and another and after you leave the mechinism in the station it pops into place. On top gun it doesn't happen since your suspened and the Restaint opener in on the bottom Vortex it happens just cause your between a click. A nogo strap would make the rides unrideable to many people. Vortex is a people mover and it would slow the operation down alot to have to check the belts. On most arrows Cept X at SFMM your in a tub as well so your not going anywhere and I believe that X is the only Arrow with a nogo strap. The ride can come up 1 click if its between clicks This is why PKI doesn't allow 1 click rides. Anywho all rides have redundant safetey systems in place on trains that will keep them down.

Thanks Sparky I know you visit every day! IM working on a pin that says we love jeff and it has his face on it. I do have a number of photos of you too sparky hmm Muwhahhaha. A pc game with sparky and jeff Ha!...no wait sparky works on the OPERATING Huss ride o well

This one will be laughed out of court. The park has a safety system in place once theres bad weather within 10 miles (i think) the park will start telling people to seek shelter. Rides are shut down and people scatter (mostly to either festhaus or front entrance) Why was this filed in hamilton county when the park is in warren county and they family was from out of state as well. Seems odd. Yeah Really 70% of people check there brains at the gate these guys forgot to stop and PICK IT UP ON THERE WAY TO A PARKING LOT WHERES THERSES NOT MANY HIGH THINGS AND LOTS OF METAL! The park has a weather station and have managers watching the radar! If these idiots didn't hear it then thats there problem the park blasts its all over the park Really YOU SAID MULTIMILLION ENOUGH! has this guy done any reasearch. I hope Paramount's legal team eats this guy alive.

After reading this Click for artical She also was allowed on an other, far bigger and faster coaster. Unfortunately, the Beas tie's 38-foot height and 35 mph speed were a little too much for her. She didn't cry (brave kid), but she didn't want to get back on, either Why would you put a 22 month old on there. She may have been tall enough but beastie I Thinks a bit too intense for a kid that small what do you think? A kid that young had to be terrified of beastie. It goes pretty fast and its not a kiddie coaster as its a junior coaster.

I feel Its a bit more than 1 sided. Light house point is VERY VERY expensive. 2003 Lighthouse Point Cottages and Cabins Price Range: $135 - $245 Cheeper than off-site my arse. Aint that about a b*tch Its been how many days now? over 10 and still not fixed. You would think they would have a extra on hand. From what I heard CP's ops are getting as bad as SF also PKI has alot of shaded areas. CP is just the same. They tore out tons of trees for TTD. Did the guy pay any attention to the massive themeing job they did on this ride? its more than a spin and spew in a box. I don't see any rides like this a CP. Did he pay any attention to the themeing once again? The whole ride is a lot more than blacklights. Maybe having a 22 Month old kid on it would be a reason. Why would u take a kid thats not even 2 on beastie tell me please? Last time I checked we had some pretty good steel rides also. I dont see anything about SB3D in there or wild thronberrys river adventure or Reptar? Nothing about a ride thats wonderful like the Flying eagles (which CP doesnt have). Or how you can actually ride more than 3 rides during your day at PKI. Nothing about the abismal waits at CP. 3 and 4 hours for some rides. 2 and 3 for rides like mean squeek. Hes from cleveland and he wouldn't put over the PKI cause his home park is CP. I really like the balanced water park artical that was in the paper about 2 years ago. Thats a way to write a artical.

What if you were king/queen of PKI for a week?
DegenRider replied to italianchef's topic in Kings Island
I would make skyflyer free for a week just so I could see my "friends" who work on the ride suffer. all merchindise would be sold at employee(maybe Merch employee) prices! Free Coke for a week Tie a certain PR guy up to the guess your speed game in coney next to That lone food stand and flightcommanders old line and watch the fun begin. Put a a guy who works at skyflyer whos name begins with a E and ends with a K in a pit of spiders. Flyers closed to public for a week long flyers show staring frequent flyers. Beast crew would be paid double all week while tomb raider crew would take a pay cut to make up for it. Tomb raider would be gone because of a mysterious fire I set (hey im a quee...I mean king I am law!) Delirium would have all the seat sensors replaced(id even make sparky work all night to have it done) so that I could ride and not be smushed in like a smushed thing. Take KC parts and Put them as decorations over Action Zone. Drop zone. 1 longer seatbelt for myself! FOF crew would be put on steriods to bulk up and i would have the floors replaced (StXbomber Im a king so your child labor laws mean nothing and you would help Steel coaster maintance do it!) so I could ride with no problems again. Find the old train have it fixed up (once again all nighter if it has to be that way) and have it on the transfer tracks to scare the living hell out of the riders. Personally remove the trims from beast for the week and do such a bad job of removing them that they could never have trims again. POPCORN POPCORN POPCORN (tell me where that comes from and win a prize!) Dragonlord promoted and given a gun for the hell of it. and finally as a king All line jumpers would be shot on site. Smokers would be set on fire. Litterers would be thrown in a compactor. Security would bruitally beat up jerks(including employees). and Finally again! to anybody thats a PKIU fourm poster FREE ADMISSION! -
New trains wouldnt do jack. Vortex was before the age of the computer transitions on arrows arent known to be the smoothest in the world you must learn how to ride it. Ron toomer never road his rides he built them for enjoyment of other people so he never knew how bad some of em actually are. Vortex is one of the better arrow loopers.

It was running yesterday.

a handheld PC Most likely

Time machine is © me you have violated that and the lawyers are on there way.

I came up to PKI for the 1st time in about a week and a half. It wasn't going to be super crowded but nice days bring people. I 1st road SOB the new Bars are REALLY nice and confortable I loved it. To me though, it just didn't feel right. Everything was running fine it was just me. I came back not pumped up just sick. I went on recaR next while the ride was flying I felt again it wasn't doing it. i just held on the hand bar. I went down to the flyers next. I noticed they cut about 30 seconds. The ride stopps just as your getting the height to snap. By this point I was ill and not having fun. I went down to Wild thronberries to get wet cause i was hot. I then went to WWC and got soaked still didnt feel better. I was staying over at my buddy tim's house and he had to work thats why i was there. I called my mom and had her pick me up. A bad bad trip

I stopped by thanks for signing my book. Why do authors always use best wishes? Boy you were swamped too
-
Tanner the time travel thing is my thing my lawyers are on there way. The parks open full time so Racer backwards should be open barrring a breakdown.

After a quick day at school and a even quicker ride home to change shoes i arrived at pki at 4:10. Place was crowded because of schools being there. They did die at after 6. I arrived and went to the flyers. I did ok in tub 4 Not alot of great pops but I did well non the less. Went back in again. I chatted with some kids from Indy and they wanted to know how I did it. I gave them a rundown of it and they started doing decent. I got good old number 8 and it was kicking. Constant and hard pops. Then I took a walk around and mosied around waterworks. They were empty. I was in the wave pool for a bit but I didnt have swimming stuff on so i didnt get too wet just soaked my feet. I bsed with a cashier in a store cause he was bored out of his mind for almost a hour (without buying squat). I left via the train for rivertown. Walked on beast got a good ride in the back seat breaks weren't so bad cause the train was empty. Then I walked by a game where you could win a scooby firefighter and I won. Then up to the flyers again. Flyers I had good old reliable number 8 and this time I was trimming trees hard pops every kind of maivure you could imagine. I timed it so I stalled out in front of the line. I was hungry and got some skyline and a Coke Then to dogems they were speeding up well today not great but well. Then to recaR were I had a great ride with a full train and lots of air. I then made my way over to SOB To my suprise they were 1 train operation. I looked on the transfer track and they were installing THE NEW LAPBARS! they look comfortable. I wanted to fly. So I plopped my 10 bucks down and just as the were putting the stuff away i walked up They had to stop suit me up and get me ready to fly. I was up there quick. I enjoyed the view a bit then I pulled the cord and flew. I wish i had water ballons like on discovery I think I could of hit the water tower. I did some funny stuff like woo im superman and mommy im a bridie. Funny stuff. I had 15 mins left I booked it over to scooby doo On the way I won a green frog for my buddy Tim and got in right b4 it was closing. Jeff from FOF/Z was behind me we caught up a bit and road togeather. I had a 1460 and he had a 1790 I was teaching him the entire time but not bad. Then we walked out and BSED for a bit. Stopped at Guest relations Beast/Flyers crew got props. Would of hit up skyfler but they were already gone Got home and had a Coke and im beat. I SHOULD be back tomarrow.
