Sounds more like you were at Cedar Point than Kings Island. I smell the Cedar Fair attitude bellowing downward........sigh.....

They got a single riders line? Where is that? Can you just walk right up to it or is it in the actual line?

Thanks for the info. But seriously, has Don Helbig ridden this or not?

In the lovely "paramount" days, animation on rides was never a priority. Adventure Express's animation has NEVER worked correctly since the first day it opened. Anyone remember the steam mist at the beginning and the 2nd tunnel? Those spears never worked together ever! Don't get me started on the lift tunnel!!! I am hoping Cedar Fair restores all the animation to all the rides that still have it like they do at Cedar Point. It would be great to walk through Top Gun again.

I go to KI tomorrow. Cincinnati Financial bought out the park that day. I wanted to know before I wasted my time again. Cedar Point is disappointing to me because of the seat belts. Magnum is great with its long seat belts. I gotta lose the belly somehow.....

On The Beast and The Racer, those orange bars kill me. Delirium sometimes 1 click is all I get. Sometimes they notice, sometimes they don't.

Well I took the walk of shame today do you have big thighs if so you most likely will not fit. I have a lot of muscle in my legs and if I only could had got the bar down a 1/2 inch I would had fit. The test is pretty nice there is little light thats red it has to go green that means you can ride. I got in the test seat and the red light turned into flickering green light the guy said i would be alright but yeah I did not ride. I got the shirt though which heck who knows what I will do with it. DB is the only ride in the park i can not ride I can even ride MF and TTD at Cedar Point but not DB explain that to me? Well, the seat belts of MF and TTD prevent me from riding so that sucks. I will be there 4-19-09 for the private party. I mainly have the "gut" unfortunately. TO BEAST1979: Who do you think you are? I have talked with Don Helbig recently about thr Racer. Do you even know what he has to do with The Racer? Needless to say, the newer redesigns have made him not have the enjoyable rides he once had and since we both have the same body type, it was easier to compare him to riding. Maybe you are a "stick" person but most adults left their 18 yr. old bodies a LONG time ago. Plus size people get to enjoy new rollercoasters next year when it will be a requirement to accommodate them/us. I still welcome any comments from plus sized people who can or cannot ride today.

So, can fat people the size of Don Helbig ride or not?

You're going to have to explain to me why that is in poor taste. Is it not just the same as going to a book signing? Would you go to an author at a book signing without buying the book? You're kidding me, right? I have to explain to you how it is ok to take a picture of them together but you have to buy something ($30.00 in cash!) just so that you can step into the picture? They signed ANYTHING that you would give them to sign- that's cool. But to charge you for your own image is in bad taste when you can take the same picture (without you) for FREE!!

Maybe it was on one of those 2 $30.00 CD's he was trying to hawk. I found it to be in very poor taste of them to allow a picture to be taken with them as long as you bought something. Needless to say, I got mine without me in it, but photoshop is only a click away!!

I took my 11 year old step-daugter on opening day and had a great time getting my 3X shirts and if you are a male wearing size 44 or more pants then you have an even better time getting kicked off the Intamin rollercoasters because the stupid seatbelts don't fit!! The restraints work/fit fine. Thanks to stupid skinny stick people who slide out from under said restraints, I don't get to ride because of my "adult" size won't allow a seat belt to click. CP used to have seatbelt extensions, but that was long ago.

By some stroke of luck, this one may be coming true. ^ Now, I want a real restaurant at KI. One that you go into, get waited on, and eat at. Like you see in almost any town in the U.S. You'd think that a company that can drop tens of millions on a new ride could put in a restaurant and make a go of it. There's tons I don't understand, though. I think it would be mighty scary to be in charge of a company that has decided they must get $4 for a Coke in order to run their business correctly. Ah, yes, that type of restaurant used to be called the "International Restaurant" right above the main gate. what a waste of space it is now.

Why isn't that piece of crap, Tomb Raider, not on the voting list?

I know the park does. After they took out Skylab, they put in a history of the park display that included those photos.
