  1. ^ lol, that is hilarious
  2. yeah, once I get off school, for summer break, I was thinking about maybe starting RCT up again.

  3. Well, I noticed in an article that I got the link off of screamscape, Dorney will have a Club Blood HH attraction this year as well as a CoRnStAlKeRs. So my question is, are these coming from KI, or are they just taking these ideas from KI. Maybe we'll see 2 all new HH attractions this year as well!!
  4. For the Robbie Knievel jump at Kings Island, CF is brining back the Clown Band, AND all the Hanna Barbera characters for pre-jump festivities! I found this very interesting. http://www.visitkingsisland.com/news/detail.cfm?item_id=690
  5. If you haven't noticed recently, Scooby Doo has had a very short line. As much as I liked PT I think CF should come up with an entirely new darkride theme when it comes time to retheme SDTHC. However the effects in it would have to be up to par with what PT had. If you think maybe PT had short lines compared to SD. Maybe it is the fact that half of the cars were removed when changed to Scooby. Phantom Theater had at least a half hour line AND it ran with twice the number of trains!
  6. Has it done it any other weekend so far? It sounded pretty bad, I mean you could just feel the entire arm vibrating. It was weird. I also noticed a few seats on Delerium, now have almost all black restraints with a small section of red. When did this change occur?
  7. ^^It was a good time! We finally got the chicken, they just had to finish fying it or something. It was nice and hot though lol.
  8. Well , me my mom, and my sister(Ashers on this website) got to the park at 10:15, and find the park almost completely empty today. It was a wet, and cold day. But it turned out to be fun! -First we go to Drop Zone because it had just opened up, and that's always a good starting ride. It was COLD up there! -Next, we went to Firehawk to meet my cousins, and we pretty much walked right on it. -After Firehawk we decided to go on Flight of Fear, which like almost every ride today was a walk-on. This was running good today, except almost stopping right in the middle of the ride. -After coming out of FoF we went on the Scrambler, we were the only ones on, so that was pretty fun! -Then we went on The Racer. 3 of us went to the Red Racer, 4 of us went to Blue. Of course we lost on red, because red always loses! -Adventure Express was a walk on as usual, and this is still one of my favorites. -Next we went on Viking Fury. It had been a while since we went on this last, and it's still a really fun ride! -Then we went on Delerium, it made this terrible grinding noise when it first started that I had never heard on it any other time we've ever been on it. Any clue what this was? -We all started to get hungry, and it was about 12:00 by this time (I know we got on ALOT in just 2 hours!) So we went and grabbed some lunch at Outer Hanks. They were out of chicken so we had to wait there for like 20 minutes. -Then aftwer a pitstop at a bathroom we went over to The Crypt, which was broken down. My cousins decided they were done for the day so they went and headed home. Then we went on The Beast, and rode in the very back car. And while waiting we saw Captain Nemo. The ride on The Beast was very fun! It was a little painful because it started raining, and it felt like razors in my eyes lol. -Then we went to The Crypt since it had reopened. I keep telling myself that The Crypt is better than TRTR, but in reality, I liked TRTR alot better. It was better when it was Tomb Raider. The program seemed almost dulled down since I rode it a couple weeks ago! But it is still a fun ride to go on. -Then we went to check out the construction on the train. It looks like it is going to go over the train bridge, or under it, which would be really cool through that ravine. -Next was Scooby Doo, I actually had a gun that worked, and got 1200 points on it!!!! Normally I only get like 300! So this was an awesome ride on Scooby Doo. -Then we for some reason went on Son of Beast in the front seat while it was raining, and it was a painful yet funny ride. I had my sweatshirt pulled down so I wouldn't hurt my face too much! -Slinghot had a 5 dollar special so we decided what the heck, and rode that, and it was so much fun! That was only my second time riding, and it is a totally different experience in the rain! - We were all getting a little too cold and tired so we decided to just ride Adventure Express as our last ride. - Then we left the park around 4:15ish, and had a cold, wet, and rainy trip to KI. Yet it was one of the best because of how many rides we got on! Hope I didn't bore everyone to death with such a long TR.

    eek! Top gun!

    There are too many variables that go into why a line is long or not. How many trains are operating? Is the crew hitting their intervals? Are full trains being sent out? Are the guests familiar with the restraints? Does the ride have small, but periodic, downtime issues? Actually while I was waiting the hour in line for SoB. As we watched the trains, the train in the station would be released at the same time the other train was at a certain point. And, the ACTUAL LINE was long, as in there were a lot of people going on SoB, not just the wait time.

    eek! Top gun!

    I doubt CF would remove SoB after putting millions in it just to retrack it, and get new trains for it. That would be stupid. SoB is now running reliably, and had the longest wait in the park the last 2 times i've gone! So i'd say it's here to stay.
  11. Um, mine would have to be The Beastie-The Racer-Adventure Express-Top Gun-Vortex-Beast-Son of Beast-Everything else! -=next ride
  12. How do you do the bring a friend days? Can you order them online, go to the front, or what? Thanks
  13. Where did you get this info?
  14. What I was saying was, I see your point it wouldn't be fun being on a ride stuck, having to go to the bathroom, a screaming girl, etc if you were on for a long period. However I was just saying, I like being stuck on a ride as long as it's between 5-10mins. Anything longer would get boring, FAST!
  15. because you are ON the ride, and chances are the ride will start moving again in about 5 minutes. They never said "do you like getiing stuck on a ride for 5 hours" lol. Plus I just think getting stuck on a ride is fun, it adds anticipation to the ride.
  16. ^ Well getting stuck on a ride, is a heck of alot more fun than not being able to ride the ride at all because of rain! When you're stuck on a ride, most likely it happens on a lift hill. And you get to enjoy your view on it much longer than you would if the ride were running, so yes I do like getting stuck on rides!
  17. Speaking of Gold passes, is there going to be a gold pass event calander released sometime soon? With like, discount meal days, ERT days, Early access to BB times? Or has this all been releaded yet? Thanks!

    The Crypt

    I wonder if anything else has been changed since last weekend, other than the music? So how does everyone like the new program for it? The only topspin I have ever been on was TRTR, and when I went on the Crypt last weekend, I was amazed! Even though I only got to ride half a cycle, it wasn't like anything I experienced on TRTR. It was fast, got started right away, and flipped ALOT. It's like a brand new ride! I reccomend that anyone who hasn't ridden since it was TR, to try it again, it is amazing!
  19. Can you say foam monkey-man statue from TRTR in my room? That would be awesome! I also wouldn't mind having a seat from the 1st row of the gondola on TRTR lol! Or maybe a TopGun poster or two.
  20. Thats awesome that they are still changing things, Maybe by summer they will have a better sound clip for The Bat creature, and maybe some more theming in the ride area! I was a little worried they were going to leave it the way it was last weekend! Thankfully, it is a work in progress! And when I rode it on Sunday last weekend, they did have the service lights in the queue off?... Why do people keep saying "CF has no money to spend on theming, they're in debt." Yes, they may be in debt but obviosly they're not to worried about it! I mean, they just put in a HUGE B&M up in Canada, which I'm sure wasn't cheap, and now they are (probably) putting one in here at KI! I'm pretty sure CF could spare a little cash, and not do a crappy job on theming The Crypt!
  21. Yeah, when I rode sunday the queue was VERY dimly lit. and also in this pic http://www.KICentral.com/photos/displayimage.php?pos=-5593 you can see those very bright looking over head lights? Well, on sunday those weren't on at all, just the lighting from underneath, it was very creepy looking!
  22. Just like they said, KI spent 7,300 + on theming just for the line, then have you walk into an empty "garage"? It just doesn't make any sense. So, my point is that I beleive The Crypt is a work in progress, as far as the ride chamber is concerned anyways. Who knows what they've been doing to it since Sunday!? The inside of the ride chamber might be getting themed as we speak! Once the full season comes around, and KI is open full time, maybe the entire chamber will be themed! We'll just have to wait and see! I'm sure The Crypt will get better as far as reliability is concerned, I mean it's only been reopened for 2 days! PS. I wouldn't mind if Halloween Haunt was an upcharge, if season pass holders got in for free
  23. The stupid "launch pad" trampoline site would be perfect for a new set of fliers, especially since it is up off the midway, it would visually draw crowds over to it. And they could easily use FC's old line, with some modifications to it!
  24. Red is the old Backward Racer, and they did alot of retracking on it, it is very smooth.
