X- Flight name?
If you use the dry ice style fog than there is a chance for some misting damage to electronics/track, I would say. But they have that new artificial stuff, and I cant see how that would hurt a ride. I do know that it can get expensive.

Soft Drinks 2007
You guys are right it was last year at the start of the season that I had my very first Vault out of a vending machine back by the restrooms near FX theater. I hate the stuff. And actually it just occured to me that I didnt even want it, I had pushed the button for a bottle of water and It gave me Vault!

Ice Show Returns to Paramount Theater
Cypress Gardens has an ice show in a nearly identical facility, its not bad but not the greatest show that i have ever seen. The water skiing show which they are known for though was spectacular!

Disney Parks "big" announcement today at 1 pm
I completely agree, a Villains theme park could be done really nice, think of all the posibililties...Ursela, Jaffar, witch in Snow White, just tons of things that could be done, you could even tie in some villains from the real life movies that they have done over time.

Soft Drinks 2007
Yick Vault is the nastiest thing that I have ever drank! you get three tastes with Vault, as it first enters your mouth, you taste Orange Juice, then as it moves down you get a lemon lime flavor, then your throat starts to burn, and finally you are left with this Nyquil after-taste, yick! I love Mt Dew and Pepsi Products. Problem is, I dont drink pop much anymore. But Coke does offer more incentives and a cheeper price to their carriers.

Ice Show Returns to Paramount Theater
on the Top Gun reference...Cedar Fair will not have to remove the Top Gun movie references...the trademark for the movies name expired long ago, and I believe That all previously owned intellectual property can be kept by the new tenents.

X-Flight coming to PKI?
I concur it does matter when you visit, but not all that much, as long as it isnt sunday after church, or on a Bring a friend Free day, the ride waits arent all that long at all...comparitively to other parks. Scooby's Ghoster Coaster?? seriously, were talking about Scooby's ghoster coaster?? Scooby's Ghoster Coaster??

X-Flight coming to PKI?
Coasterdad, you obviously havent visited PKI very often...anyone that goes there day after day during the summer or 5 times at least knows that sometimes even on saturdays you can walk right on most of the rides. Out of the many many times that I visited the park I only had to wait in a 45 minute plus line probably 3 times, and even then it was only like on two rides at the park. I can knock out every ride at KI, riding some rides multiple times in under 5 hours. Thats 10 plus coasters plus multiple flat rides in under 5 hours! The park is never really "empty" but the ride ops at KI know how to keep things moving and the infrastructure at KI is very nice. So X-Flight is a welcome addition, It may have an hour wait to start off like Italian Job did (I dont usually ride IJ:ST because of this long line for a short ride) but not much more than that!

X- Flight name?

X- Flight name?
I agree with TopGun and btw, Tycoon hasnt said anything negative to harm the park or exibited any ideas to us rather than his own original ideas of the park. It is posting inside info that can get you busted, but nothing these days is completely confidential, they almost hope sometimes that info leaks, because it builds tension and a great following!

X-Flight coming to PKI?
nobody knows. If someone wants to give me a dollar for gas, I'll go down there and snap some pics!

what is your ideal rollercoaster?
Rockin Roller Coaster at MGM is amazing! It may rival the mummy in theming, and its a TON smoother, no knee jerk stopping!

X-Flight coming to PKI?
Purple and School Hallway White is school hallway white REALLLY white or kinda yellowy? Depends on how new/old the school is. 2000-up school? Super white. 1999-back? Smoker's teeth Yellow. ....that should be a new Crayola color, Smoker's Teeth. HAHA, harsh, but so true. I would like to see the coaster in anything that is not to vibrant, I dont wanna see bright yellow and Orange, or Green and Black. Maybe blue on white, Purple and white, maybe Jet Grey and blue, or an american flag theme!

Article on new owners of the sold Six Flags parks
It certainly sounds like they are gonna try and run these parks the right way, aside from the whole leasing thing, and I wish them the best of luck. Maybe they will so something with the parks that becomes commonplace in the industry and make all of us "guests" very thankful!

Season Passes
The Finger printing at Disney is new, last time I was there this last October, They had it in addition to scanning your bone density of your fingers. I found that to be really cool!

New Restaurant
I for one do not like Larosa's pizza. First off every time I walk by the one on International street it smells like Vomet, absolutely disgusting. Also, the crust is too floury, and almost pasty to taste, and there is too much crust, I really do not like it, Im with interpreter on this one. My Favorite pizza anywhere is Marion's Pizza in Dayton, Ohio which the pizza place is exactly 1.5 miles from my house Problem is, Marion's burnt down one month ago, and I am sad At least, they are rebuilding...absolutely gutted the place

How Good is 2007 Going To Be?
I have to completely agree with you, The most themed park that I have ever been to was Busch Gardens, an absolutely beautiful park. You have a section completely themed in Safari Africa with Rhino Rally and all of the animal viewing experiences on the Train, and there was a completely colonial American area with the Cleidsdales and history. There was a completely themed Egyptian area with Montu, a complete Nile area with Kumba, and Python, and a completely themed Moroccan area with sandy villages and Scorpion, aside from Disney, Busch Gardens truly knows how to run an amusement park, and yet they have another business venture in Anheuser Busch, but they dont let it effect the amusement park, they run the businesses together not using their theme parks as a promotional tool.

Kings Island Slapped with suit for $10M
i unlike the rest of you believe in innocent until proven guilty, but this isnt a criminal case. The criminal case got thrown out in municipal, basically saying although not in exact terms and certainly not even a judgement but that the man is innocent. When cases like this start in the criminal stage, you nearly never see them thrown out, because the public does not like possible sex offenders getting off easy, there is extreme pressure put on courts to find anything they can to continue sexual misconduct cases. Hence the Duke Lacrosse Case....although on a much more significant level it is an illustration of my point. You all are so quick to say that this guy should be dropped on his head, but the criminal courts have said there wasnt enough evidence, there is always enough evidence in these cases if they are true! I know several female acquaintenances (not friends, I dont hang with this type of person that gets a high out of making others suffer) that would have no problem at all doing something like this to garner attention or what have you. There are certainly a lot of holes and none of us have the right to declare that this man has done something wrong, especially if he has not done anything wrong at all!

Kings Island Slapped with suit for $10M
You do provide a very good point Avatar, and at first I was reading this article with a bias toward defending and protecting KI and punishing the plaitiff. But then, I understood that the charges against were thrown out of municipal court, so I could see how he does have a valid argument. What I dont like is that 10 Million dollars is what we were getting for a new ride, althought that wont be scrubbed, I cant help but think that when a park gets sued like this look how much of a strain it could put on operations. I want so badly for PKI not to have to pay out but, he may actually have a case, Its too bad that PKI and the officers had to get sued though, its not their fault they went off what they were told. If he is found to have been perfectly within his rights then it is the girls who cried wolf that should be sued!

Paramount Story Area
yeah I dont really think that effects PR, sure some fanboys could still be ticked that King Cobra is gone, but most people realize that it is the nature of the Biz.

Kings Island Slapped with suit for $10M
I am basing this judgement purely on appearance of Greed...He is asking for $10 Million and even suing the Police separately! He could be innocent but it sounds quite ployish ,and also if he was roughed up a little, I hope the judgement is reduced quite a bit, cuz 10 Million seems excessive.

JOB FAIR!
I plan on being there, I want to know a little bit more about what they have to offer in terms of benefits, and a little better description of duties than what the online application offers.

SoB trains...we may already know!
They obviously left the opening date on there, I looked directly over that. The point is go to the Attraction fact sheet and you will see that they updated the SoB fact sheet on January 9th. The link doesnt show you when they updated it, so go the way I just stated. If aside from giving the opening in the present tense everything else is correct from now on then it appears that they will keep the premier trains.
