^^Yeah, I gotta be honest...dare I start tellin' people to just make their trip the 2nd weekend if they're traveling "from far and wide" (as Mr. Willie likes to say! ) Because you get 3 days the second weekend, but only 1 day the first?? Doesn't make any sense to me...

I'll still say I'd pay an extra $50 if I could get "executive bathroom" access as part of the VIP experience...you know, arctic air conditioning blaring, extra soft/aloe Charmin (the good stuff, not the cardboard!), marble floors, additional loo privacy door, HD TV on the wall, wide assortment of magazines, and of course a huge outlawed 4 gallon Canadian high-flusher…I mean, the de-lux works!! That’s what I call real VIP treatment at a park!!

What was your opinion of guests opening and closing switchbacks as they pleased??

^^Ask Wilson or Cuddy!! Edit: And kill off Thirteen while you're at...though she's hot, nobody likes her!!

^^No worries...I should have suspected last night that this was mostly kids playing with the internets...

1.) Wrong!!! La Ronde is pretty sweet! 2.) CP is a long way from being open on Apr 18th!! OMG, people! NO!!! See La Ronde!

Sweet!! I know my memory is good enough for counting BJ cards, but 15 stories actually sounded pretty good to be honest.

We'll have to 'see' (or hear) what the Maxell Gold says!! Btw, was the Gold ever that much better than the red?? Tiggy, loving to tape from the radio all throughout elementary and middle school! Sadly, I wouldn't discover all the good music 'til late in high school

^^OR a good RCT'er!!

Dang, your parents look young in those pics for it being '87!! (when I was a wee 5 year-old) I know I have a lot of similar pics from the late 80's at KI I need to dig up...the gem I really want to find is The Vortex radio commercial I have from '87 when I used to tape songs from WZPL (in Indy)...I remember the female voice braging about "12 Stories!!"....ooohhhh so scary!!

Looks like 'White' lightning can strike twice! Tehe!!

Honestly, for me as a non-Cincy dweller (anymore) the food has always been a highlight for me! UDF malts, Gold Star, Larosa's, Graeter's, I mean, the list legitimately goes on! In addition, the Bigg's down there have always been money carrying products I can no longer find in Indy. Colgate makes this awesome Winterfresh toothpaste that I can only find in Cincy! All NOT great reasons just to go to Cincy, but if you have time to kill, there are some gems in the rough!

Last night in Indy (already among the highest in the nation due to being one of the few states to include sales tax, which is 7%) it was $1.99....it's going up again eventually, but I'm just hoping to keep it under $4.

^^I thought that was Mean Streak's official nickname?? Either that, or The Chiropractor!! As a quick aside, last year at CP on Maverick the lead train got stopped a little ways up the lift due to an op spotting a camera…the delay was somewhat lengthy, and people were getting agitated and coming up with “punishments” for this rogue rider. Being in the following train, of course Tiggy’s “Make him ride Mean Streak!!” Got the biggest laughs, even by the ride ops!!

^^Yes, BUT if gas prices can be even remotely sane (like under $3), then that will help a lot as well!!

Ohhhhh....this is Jackson's Spring Break! That explains it!! I do apologize...for some reason I thought TB was a 20-something from Australia living in Cincy for whatever reason...WOW I do appear wrong!! I do sort of have a problem with picking up a few details, and then extrapolating to paint an entire picture (like a good Mentalist should do, btw). But...occasionally I'm wrong! So apologies again!!

^^For the Texas market during the Spring Break season...of course!! While the 09 park season still seems TBD...I really have a feeling it's going to be ridiculously successful! Hopefully boding well for future cap ex!

^^The latters with commensurable thrills I might add...not that they aren't still fun...

^^And y'alls think it's going to take FOREVER for April 18th to get here!?! Time...one of Tiggy's bestest friends!!

Let it be said...Terpy is pure gold people!!

^^Well...Coney has it!!

^^Soooo.....???? They can amend the laws to throw 'em in there!!

Hopefully these guys have their own show like Temple of Tiger!

^^And not that it's super healthy, but my intentional self-dehydrating in the park worked wonders on the wallet!! (which wasn't my goal anyway)

I'm with you on Maverick, but for MF last season it seemed the average wait was around 45 mins. Granted I was strategic about the days I went, but even on moderately busy on-peak weekdays and off-peak weekends for the first time I started noticing MF being hard to crack 1 hour (when running all three trains), which it didn't from, what?, end of July through mid-August?
