Vortex

Well Flight of Fear would have been Sound Wave but the coaster would not be at Kings Island anymore if Paramount still owned the parks. I think Tomb Raider will be renamed Firefall and Italian Job will be Hollywood Stunt Track. I have no idea of the new name for Top Gun.

I thought he was Mr. 2999 at the end of the movie?

Anyone else see the that the two other parks in Ohio other than Cedar Point are gettting nothing. Well that was a waste of a season pass for next year. Shame on you Kings Island.

So Kings Island is getting nothing next year?

I gave a C going to another old Paramount park I see that Cedar Fair still needs some room for improvement. Also why does it cost less to buy food at both Disneyland and Disney world than at Kings Island? I would have gave a D if it was not for the new shows.

I did something different this year and ended my year on SOB. This was the best ride this year I had on the blue train.

Does anyone know when Kings Island will say anything about next year. When I got my season pass they did not know anything. You think if they where tring to sell a pass they would say hey we are getting a new ride.

I wonder if Kings Island will get a clone of this coaster in 2009 or 2010?

Okay I was at Kings Island on Sunday and Beast train 3 was getting worked on in the train shed.

Okay so out of the old 5 Paramount Parks Kings Island and Carowinds are the only ones left that have not said anything about 2008. I would not mind seeing another wooden coaster at Kings Island if it Replaced SOB, but I think that Kings Island will get a steel coaster in the future.

Well Vortex replaced a suspended coaster in the same spot. It would be nice to have B&M suspended coaster. I just don't think the Arrow looping suspended coaster design would work to well.

But the track and cars are sitting outside in the parking lot.

Does anyone know how big the Wild Cat was at Coney Island? I just don't see a coaster like the shooting star to come back to the park its just to big.

A quick up date from my hotel. Top Gun at Carowinds is up and running. I took some pictures and will try to update later on. I will be at Sarowinds at 7pm. So look for my udate late on Sunday.

Okay so four sets of trains have showed up at the park. I can see 3 things going on one we get Villain, two the trains go on The Racers, or 3 SOB and The Beast get new trains.

I am thinking that 2 trains from the Villain will be on the Forward side of The Racers and 2 from RWB will be on the other side. The King Cobra, FOF and SOB trains have been out their for almost all season.

Yes it was the same as when The Beast frist opened.

I forget the name of the water park but it does have a Congo Falls type ride in it. If you think about it alot more people would ride it if they are already dressed to go in to the water. The line for WWC would not work going back to BB. You have to go around all the train tracks and the pinic area.

I was at the park the other day and saw that all Paramount items marked down 70%. Also I saw anything with Tomber Rider The Ride is 70%, Top Gun is 60% and THE ITALIAN JOB: Stunt Track 60%. Does anyone else think these three rides will get new names next year?

Is he still working on a Kings Island book?

Yes just got my tickets the other day for Scarowinds and then I am off to Dollywood.

I will be at Carowinds in a week. I will report if the ride is open and if not I will take some pictures.

I would love to see a Farris wheel at Kings Island. If only CF had a used one sitting around at another park.

Goliath is the old Batman Coaster from Six Flags New Orleans.

I saw a news story talking about the Geauga Lake Petition and Cedar Fair said it will do no good. The news story did say alot of fans hope Cedar Fair does the right thing and save The Dipper.
