Top Thrill 2 is a perfect and great name. The launches are going to be slow and gradual so it's good they dropped the dragster name. The thrills will only happen on the top which there are two of them now. As for the ride experience it seems like it will be fun if you've never ridden dragster before but will probably be a let down if you remember the original thrilling launch.

Whoever runs KI/Cedar Fair is literally so stupid. Should have just increased the season pass price to $250 and require payment in full, no monthly price plans. Problem solved unless the government gives out more stimmy checks, lol.

Don't demonize the YOUTH!

I remember being very impressed when PKI did the conversion to Bubba Gump Shrimp Shack

Is it cold in LA right now?

My guess is they are installing permanent urban teen fight deterrent lights to replace the temporary ones.

We have an almost 20 year thread on KI ghost stories/experiences:

Can @DonHelbig clear up the confusion on if the front of the line pass is included only at one home park or if you get one everytime you visit a Cedar Fair park that has Fast Lane lines?

Honestly I don't think you'll be able to ride anything but Racer and The Beast, maybe Adventure Express? If you love roller coasters use this as motivation to change your lifestyle habits so you can lose weight and enjoy things like riding awesome roller coasters!

Crime has skyrocketed everywhere not just at Six Flags parks, lol. Disney is not immune.

What's up with ferris wheels in Ohio? lmao https://www.wbko.com/content/news/Police-Couple-arrested-for-having-sex-on-Cincinnati-Ferris-wheel-507839191.html

Does anyone still have the TR:TR load/unload drum music? I had it saved to one of my old hard drives that **** the bed. Lol, we had a message board before we had a photo gallery.

Lmao, "it stops"? the article you posted was from 2017. Here are articles from 2020 and 2021, what did "it stop"? https://www.wlky.com/article/kentucky-kingdom-addresses-altercation-at-water-park-posted-to-social-media/33301932# https://www.wave3.com/2021/05/16/fights-breaking-out-parking-lot-near-kentucky-kingdom-prompts-lmpd-response/

This dude is 43 years old now

Arrow Dynamics roller coaster's service life is 32 years according to Don Helbig, so The Bat which is an Arrow Dynamics roller coaster will reach the end of it's service life in 3 years.

"MASON, OHIO – It opened in 1987 as the tallest, full-circuit roller coaster with the highest drop in the world and the first roller coaster in the world with six inversions, but next month, Kings Island’s Vortex steel roller coaster will be closing for good. While still popular, the 33-year-old ride has "simply reached the end of its service life," Don Helbig, the park's digital marketing director, said in a blog post announcing the ride's closure." The Bat (formerly Top Gun) opened in 1993, 6 years after Vortex. Both rollercoasters were designed and manufactured by Arrow Dynamics.

Well in three years The Bat will reach the "end of it's service life", lol. So you're only going to be left with one ride with a "spooky" theme.

Paint fades

KIC meetup?

New paint is nice but the people want one side to go backwards again.

Wasn't the organ restored a few years ago? Before that they were using a CD player.

The only thing that needs to happen is getting rid of the magnetic brakes. Whatever reprofiling they need to do or adding support structure, do it. Or go back to shims
