My 4 yr old phone does just fine. (Verizon carrier)

I'm more familiar with CP's setup so what I remember of KI's is vague other than the dolphins wasn't theirs. Does anyone remember how big that tank was? I'm watching video footage my dad shot of them and those behaviors like the tail walk they do I dunno.. :/

I may have read your post wrong sorry :| I know Iron Dragon is a suspended, but thought you actually meant Raptor being the "other" suspended. And wow I forgot about Wicked Twister.. I always forget its there x____x

And here I was thinking I finally come to end of my dinosaur search. FW who still searches..

Footprint looks like my mother's.. oops. (don't wanna mess with her when she's mad!) EDIT: K actually looked at the picture. If that's supposed to be The Beast then whoever did it should have come to me or someone who is actually familiar with animals. Beast has claws, not talons. (unless he evolved)

I know it's different mostly but CP already has a second (and older than Raptor even) suspended coaster...Iron Dragon.

I'm one of the folks who often have dreams that eventually come true at some point ._. And I had some interesting KI related dreams since my rookie year. The weirdest one to this day I had little over a year ago....weird in a sense it involves KI and yet didn't happen at KI. Make sense? Son of Beast operating in my grandparents back yard over in Colerain Township. Grandpa was obviously in it, as well myself and couple key family friends. I still don't get the connection between grandpa and Sonny

I assume my post intruded and you really are seeking pictures of Days of Thunder and its queue.... Yeah me and you typed at the same time. I was referring to pics of the attraction other than the sign out front. I remember Top Gun's theming but no real memory of Days of Thunder.

Any pictures of it? I remember the sign out the front, and my grandmother for some strange reason liked the attraction. If I was on it, sure don't remember it

Thanks guys

Here's the front view. I need to get the wrinkles out of it, got it hanging up now.

A few people might have seen I'm building up a pretty big display case of things I got between Kings Island, CP and SeaWorld. Found a couple boxes I had put away of uniforms I've gotten through KI. Decent pile of the blue polo Paramount shirts , hats. And these and In one of the other boxes I'm pretty sure the Top Gun jumper suit is in it, I remember getting one of the last ones and its about a size off for me lol. Anyone remember when the Days of Thunder uniform were worn? I'm guessing for the Action Theater, which is something I personally not to go on.

Oh okay, thank you Terpy. We never called it a bridge, always been causeway.

I'm kind of lost.. do they mean the causeway?

I don't think KI does, but CP did/does I believe. (TTD came to mind)

I broke my thumbnail off on Drop Tower and didn't sue KI Just lesson learned... don't let your fingernails get too long. But it did hurt! I know of another suit, dunno of its outcome. But lady suing the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago cause apparently she slipped in the splash zone at the dolphin show. Sue the flippered ones!? >.> buuuhhh. Welcome to America - home of the sue happy, I guess.

Orcas themselves have responded in different ways. Two of the females were aggressive with each other in Orlando, one of the two females passed away herself back in September, I think the changes did confuse her cause she craved attention from her trainers and was used to allowing several trainers ride her all at once. Things seem to doing better now though since trainers started back up with physical contact, tho I do wish they get back in the water, because stopping that would increase the chances of another incident happening. Probably the saddest though was one of the California females at the SW there sitting in front of her trainer constantly sticking out her tongue waiting for her trainer to rub it, when it got no response she pulled it back in and stuck it out again. It went on for several minutes That was days after the attack. Tilikum is a good whale, and Dawn was a amazing woman she loved that big guy to pieces, it always showed in her smile and facial expression.

When did they start running it?

Finally I was feeling bad for the poor sweet baby on the last day

But you will admit that since Firehawk is a transplanted ride they certainly had a good idea what the lines would be like...so if the park had wanted to have shelves they could have just built the station bigger. I know lines never have anything to do with popularity, but that coaster seemed to lack lines the few times I saw it at Cleveland (but the park was semi empty as well those times). Since it came to KI I hardly go on it cause I lack the patience to put up with a line

Precisely this I don't like Mantis, yet I never wish CP to remove it . Just choose not to ride it.

Why remove Iron Dragon? Don't like it, don't ride it. Its always open and going whenever I am there, unlike Dragster Mantis I am not a big fan for... therefore I don't ride it since I only been on it a handful of times since it opened.

Its retracking. Nothing new is going on.
