I'm thinking going either Saturday or Sunday just to see the show . If I go Saturday it be after work, what are the show times usually for Saturday? Sunday is possible... though I just hate going all the way back to the area on my off days.

Shame. Another celebrity just using their 'celeb status' for this cause that is clearly not educated in the matter. Smh.

^ That sounds as if they may be trying to recreate one of Knott's former attractions, Delirium:

 

 

...also known as one of the weirdest attractions they have ever done (but in a good, and very horrific way). It wouldn't be the first time the Island has attempted to "recreate" a Farm haunt (Red Beard's Revenge), but I'm (slightly) hopeful that Blackout will be something truly amazing like Fatale's or Kill Mart.

 

Or they could simply be resurrecting Mysteria and just turning all the lights off.

Delirium was one of my favorite mazes I ever been through at Knott's. If anyone gets a copy of it I hope its memory doesn't get tarnished -__-

 

Anywho, I don't know what ya'll have against The Great Pumpkin Coaster; it is a fantabulous ride.

 

lol despite the fact I've not ridden it since I was a kid I still had to rank it higher than Backlot and Firehawk

going off of memory here (still haven't been on a coaster since last year)

 

1.) The train

2.) The Bat

3.) Adventure Express

4.) The Beast

5.) Cirque Imagine

6.) sitting in Festhaus trying to get a break from the ridiculous humidity

7.) Diamondback

8.) Banshee

9.) FOF

10.) Woodstock Express (have not ridden it since the 90's when it was still Beastie)

11.) Flying Ace Aerial Chase (have not ridden it since it was Runaway Reptar)

12.) Great Pumpkin (not ridden it since the 90's when it was Scooby Zoom)

13.) Son of Beast (without loop)

14.) Son of Beast (with loop)

15.) Vortex

16.) Backlot Stunt Coaster

17.) Invertigo

18.) Firehawk

 

Never ridden Surf Dog/Avatar and due to the spinning aspect have no intention of doing so.

Salt Water Circus.

 

I hate the name, but the 70's was a different time.

Ahhh right before I leave for Knott's/SeaWorld. Thanks, Jon!

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.

when Shockwave closes the coaster at NYNY will be the last Togo in the USA

 

 

...and the worst. And sadly the best.

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.

 

 

 

Actually the distance from Cedar Point to Michigan's Adventure is 299.mi which is 4 hours 35 minutes

 

And the distance from Cedar Point to Kings Island is 206.5 mi which is 3 hours 34 minutes.

 

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.

So, instead of having pity on the poor boats, we can celebrate their happy status as stars of the show!

I still hate seeing them like that.

 

I don't mind cars as props but I draw the line at RVs and boats. >_>

If past is prologue, the show will move on to another Cedar Fair park next season...

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

Hate is such a strong word. Your past experience with French Fries must have been traumatic.

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.

 

 

It amazes me how many times I'll be asked if AE is The Racer(s) once they get to the station. How do these people miss the giant Adventure Express sign that they pass right under? And how do they not realize the ride is not racing at all? 

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 people wear flip flops to an amusement park anyway. My feet would be killing me, you can walk up to 10 miles plus in a day at a park. I wouldn't want to walk 10 miles in flip flops.

I don't understand why anyone wears them at all.

Faerie wench, who hates flip flops
