Magnum also has one of the best capacities in the park.

I followed the arrow to West Mifflin for a little yuletide fun. The park was nicely decorated with lights through out the park and Christmas music played through out. Only half the park was open, with Bayern Curve, Parkside Cafe and Train Station being the barrier line. Here are some highlights. Rides: Carousel (w/ band organ playing Christmas music), Kangaroo, Paratrooper, Auto Race, Train (Gingerbread Express), Little Phantom, and Kiddieland. Santa in a mock Racer car on the platform of The Racer. A light show on the pond every half hour. Local Choirs near the Pagoda. Train and "It's a Wonderful Life" displays in the Parkside Cafe. Petting Zoo in Kiddieland $5.00 souvenir mugs with free refills on hot beverages (hot chocolate, cider, and coffee). The public was enjoying it, with decent crowds (all the ques were full at one point and they open up the second level lot) and according to people it was busier the week before. Other observations, the wooden coaster trains are stored next to the Log Jammer bathrooms, Pitt Fall is being removed and the Rankin Bridge is done. Admission is $13 plus $1 admission tax, $2 dollar off coupons located at local Giant Eagles. As always, the parking is FREE! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and hopes the event returns next year with more of the park open. My closing thought is if Kennywood can, why not Kings Island?

^By your definition, the helicopters around Planet Snoopy are coasters.

Rotor, An awesome ride they are. To bad there are only a few left.

Monsters pad was awesome looking in 1974, bet it added to the twirl and hurl aspect of the ride. I like the monorail track in the background also.

CP Screamsters must be 18 to apply and work.

KCKC was better than Tomb Raider, and it also made sense in an area called Rivertown. (I also love hydroflumes and believe WWL was better than Maverick)

That man might be the most talented and hardest working man on the peninsula. I have seen him carving from before park open to well after park close. His creations are amazing, from WWL boats to Oceana Stadium to a full size carousel horse. He can even replicate the Schwabinchin lady perfectly.

The guts of the organ are no longer there, they play only for one now.

An article from the USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/management/story/2011-11-13/cedar-fair-point-ceo-kings-island-dominion-carowinds-knotts-berry-farm/51152226/1 Comments far tamer then what would be found in the Register.

Sadly only one person has been able to enjoy the organ lately.

CP used to be 10-10 June weekdays, 10-11 June Saturdays, July and August Weekdays and 10-Midnight July and August Saturdays.

Gemini was during the Munger era.

MiAd ended the popularity of Chaos installations. After a roll, many Chaos was removed, even CP tried to sell theirs with no luck.

Topper track appears to still maintain a coasters wood classification.

How about lunch with Don Helbig for twenty dollars?

^formally Texas Twister of Geauga Lake. The first top spin in North America, and when it first opened had one heck of a ride cycle with a great final lock.

Nope, this is preplanned by the park. It's not the first time they have done it either.

Diamondback will be shut down for approximately 5 1/2 months after this weekend. They will even remove the trains from the track.

If you have not yet entered, you can. However if your pass has been scanned earlier in the day, enjoy your drive home.

It is impossible to not be entertained by chick in the box. I finally got the pleasure of working with her on Saturday for 15min, and I was being entertained.
