When is Cirque's final day? I want to try to visit the park one last time before the show ends to see it (hopefully) couple times. faeriewench... who has been very busy this summer.

Magnum and Iron Dragon were my favorites.

I hate that ride. It is the only coaster I actually do despise. Off topic...according to RCDB it been renamed to Big Apple (it was still just Roller Coaster I believe when I was there last but I still just referred it to the original name) Well..uh goodbye Shockwave? Never got to ride it...have ridden King Cobra though and didn't even like that.

I hate the Kinzel cups. Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden got it right...they gave me so much water when I asked I couldn't finish drinking it. >_> (I don't even remember cup size..just that it Was huge)

How far is KI from CP again? I know for us it took longer (little over 6 hours typically) because of the pit stop north of Columbus and we were towing the RVs then. My best guesstimate is 4 hours..? Saw the OP modified his post. Depending on time of day does that include Columbus traffic? Just curious. Either way I was almost mostly correct with my guesstimate. Lol technically with that estimate I am almost 2 hours closer to CP now than I was as a kid in Mt Healthy which is south of KI. Oh well...still no desire of going back to CP anytime soon.

Cedar Point is far closer to Michigan (and obviously well known). KI advertises and has tickets selling in Kentucky and parts of Indiana. I know whenever I go to SoCal I do not expect to see KI tickets. I always thought Michigan's Adventure was actually closer to CP than KI is. KI and CP are several hours apart as there is around 300 (perhaps a bit more) miles between them.

I still hate seeing them like that. I don't mind cars as props but I draw the line at RVs and boats. >_>

Which is why we must enjoy it as much as possible now in case that does happen.

Yeah. I got fat. I'm not going down that road ever again. Fries, burgers and pizza? I say no.

In the original Jurassic Park that was "Ellie" (don't remember her real name) but Sam did get his experience in the 3rd movie.

Does the park even still offer season pass discount on the souvenir bottles? I wouldn't know, I been buying my bottles at Knott's last couple years and they honored the Platinum Pass. Yesterday at Tower Drinks I had my pass in hand and the employee refused it. Typically I don't really mess with any of the eateries at KI cause majority of my visits are usually extremely short but I do need a lot of water and I was there for several hours yesterday and figured why not? Just curious. That on top of the near constant inconsistencies I always tend to get out of their F&B dept. On another note...the chicken wrap at Chicken Shack wasn't too bad. Felt like I had to pull teeth to just get the wrap by itself without the fries though (I HATE fries) cause the employees asked twice if I wanted the advertised combo meal instead.

Kid at Dinosaurs Alive yesterday "do dinosaurs even have butts?"

Good on Disney.

If you think that is scary...I got a better one. My last full season as an employee I approached this gentleman and his girlfriend over by Delirium when I saw him looking at the park map confused and then looking at Son of Beast, which was still operating, then he saw me (while he was pointing at SOB) "is that The Racer?" I never could figure that out but then again I had someone ask for direction to Raptor while at KI several years before CF took over. (I thought he was referring to Reptar but nope...he was looking for Raptor) Did you tell him to get in his car and driver several hours north to get to it? Nah, I did explain he was at the wrong park though. That would be the type of response you'd get out of a Knott's scare actor if you approach asking how to get to Splash Mountain.

My dopey PC thanks you Dane.

That's sad so she died the following day?

I don't understand why anyone wears them at all.Faerie wench, who hates flip flops

You mean the plaque or the track piece itself?

When did you try to order yours? I didn't even order mine until the day the final section of the lift hill was torn down and got through on the first try. o_o Up until then I actually had no intention of getting one. I hated riding it but I think watching the video of it coming down actually saddened me slightly knowing that was the end and it will never come back so I buckled and got it. We also got a couple bolts. Wow...$200..my track didn't even cost that much straight from the park. I think they were being sold for close to a 100 even?

I never been to a Drive In Theater ....and I want to see Jurassic World sooo badly. Same for Star Wars but that is still several months off.

Remember a lot of the GP are not enthusiasts (which are the parks targets in most cases) and do not know or care of the the existence of the other B&M hypers. The locals will have one now within reach. It's already got some people talking, and as much as I don't like coasters, I know this park been needing one and the fact they sticking to B&M is good.

Heck yeah! That was my 1st vote and then Manta, haha

My iPad has other ideas.

^Well the Smiler reached global news did it? I know completely different manufactures but there are some similarities with the trains. I have had people ask me if Rougerou is the same type of coaster just by the looks of the trains..
