I agree with pretty much everything here! The reason odd rows are smoother is because those are the seats that aren't on the wheels. The even rows are seperated and winged out; over the wheels. I'm not sure how the green train is the "fastest"....all the trains are the same, besides the color....and go through the same ride! I'm not really sure if you can say there's ejection air on this ride. Just, strong sustained airtime. Try Cornball Express, Voyage, or Maverick for Ejection air!

^ You went worst to best, right? Or did you start at the middle. Or second to the top

You haven't even been on it yet.

This is sooooo wrong. On sooo many levels. Don't make it seem like you're wanting to kill yourself over a theme park.

Diamondback. .... .... ... .. . then Millennium and Magnum. I was just thinking today how much more awesome Magnum would be with different trains and restrains. Sigh.

Hey KIC. I'm sure all of you have ridden Kings Island's fantastic new coaster, Diamondback. And I'm sure all if you raveeee about row 16 and row 1. Well, I challenge you to branch out and try some new rows. I have found better rides allll over the train. Well, maybe not better, I can never decide where I like best. But after riding hundreds of times, I'd like to give a little insight to what I think are the best rows. -1 -4 -6 -10 -15 Those are my favorites. If you like really strong airtime, go for the front or back. But be warned; you sacrafice the first drop! I've found that the best seat to take the first drop is.....Row 6 and Row 10. They both give a fantastic stomach in your throat feeling, and really let you feel how big the hill is. In the back seat, you're getting pulled through too quickly in my opinion. If you want a smoother ride, go for the closer seats. They aren't sitting on wheels...unlike the outside ones. That's why I take 15 over 16 most of the time. Don't forget about the middle, though! That's where the awesome floater airtime is. That's what B&M does best. So I encourage everyone to try out new rows. Add some variety! I don't think you can really say "that's the best row" until you've tried them all -Zach

I'm not doubting you or anything, but they stopped the drink wristbands? Because I could have sworn I saw someone riding with a wristband on. One of those skinny, white with the barcode wristbands. Maybe he saved it and tried to get it to work his return trip. If they stopped them, I wish they would bring them back.

Goliath's really good. It's a classy B&M with a BEAUTIFUL location. It's sooooo pretty. I need to take a trip back to ride. I haven't been there in two seasons! But I ranked Diamondback higher than it. It's close though.. But all B&M is really good! And Acrophobia is one of my favorite Drop Towers. Sooooooo much fun!!!

Diamondback isn't my number one coaster. It's ONE of a few coasters I call "Number one material" The coaster that can never be beat is: Scooby Doo's Spooky Coaster at Movie World Australia. BUT right...just right under that, soooo close. Is Voyage. Voyage is amazing. It's such a fantastic ride. You really can't explain it....it's just... The Voyage. No other ride I've ridden can get close to this one.

Nice. Impressive. I hope that Wednesday won't be bad. I've never done a one day trip...

"Rainbow Babies Hospital" .....BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Are you serious?

Yup, me too! But I knew to hit up Raven and Legend first. Buttttt...everyone thought I was crazy for driving that far to ride a roller coaster. Hahaha. Oh well, I'm going to have to make a return trip soon. Not sure though with the lines.

You need to re-ride Blue Streak if all you've been to is Cedar Point and Kings Island.

That's a bummer. Gemini is one of my favorites there. Maybe someone did slap you in your back! Because you can lean over and slap each other's hands you go around the turns..that's awesome. And I always have a smooth ride with great Arrow air in the last seat.

FTW. I don't know....Hurler at Carowinds is right next to it. FTW!!!!!

What?! Gemini is the best!

Rapids Ride....fun fun fun. Headless Horseman wants your heads! Heads, not boobs. Painful break run. Yikes. Six slides in this picture. Yup. Sooooo pretty. Oh, hey Mr. Sun. Couldn't get a good angle. It does that.....3 times. Awesome. 175 ft.. 66* angle. Inta-not win. Water in your face at 55mph isn't fun. Should it be? Hell no! It's a huge drop into water brakes. Not a good idea. Boo! If you're in the front seat... You get wet... Row 2? Nope. A little bit. That ride STUNK! Sorry Holiday World, you spent your money in the wrong way. Nice try though... No other place I'd rather be. I win Granny needs some love. Her ride was awesome! A very fun, relaxing ride. And...a few more. Thanks for reading. Go ride it. It'll change your life.

Yeah...I'm late. Hey KIC! So, I live in Cincinnati...about 15 minutes from Kings Island, 3.5 hours from Cedar Point, 20 from Coney Island, 1.5 from SFKK...but I've been forgetting Holiday World! For some reason my family never goes west. So I decided to get my brother out of school and head to Holiday World! It was about a 3 hour drive, including 25 miles of construction...and McD's stop. I arrived at the park around 9:20AM and there were a few cars and busses, it was a Wednesday, the worst that could happen is 10 schools to dump their kids off at the park. And it didn't happen yay! Oh, I didn't venture into Holidog land for the kiddie credit, sorry but maybe I'm not a big credit whore, I'd rather take another trip on the Voyage instead. It's not going anywhere. Food stops; 7 bucks: Ice cream in Safari. Kringle's Kafe...burger combo. Ride counts: Raven - 8 or 9 The Legend - 4 Voyage - 11 Liberty Launch - 3 Gobler Getaway - 3 Turkey Spin - 1 Swings - 1 Frightful Falls - 1 Raging Rapids - 1 Plunge - 1 Splashin' Safari: Bukali - 1 Watoobe - 1 Mat Racers - 4 Otgomogoslapintheface - 1 Bamboo chute/Amazoom - 1 Gripes: Checking the restraints - It's okay to have the seatbelts, since pretty much every wooden coaster does now...but wow, they pull those seatbelts TIGHT! Thankfully most of the rides loosen the seatbelts as you ride, but sometimes I thought it was way too tight. As goes with the lapbars. Most of the time it was pressed down as far as it could go, and on the Voyage...that's VERY uncomfortable. Safety is key, but this is like parents implanting homing devices on their kids. Loosen up a bit. See Pilgrim's Plunge. Details/Thoughts: The park - It's a nice, midsized park. I'm used to treking around Kings Island...this is easy to walk around, in four different sections. Halloween, 4th of July, Christmas, and Thanksgiving. Nice landscaping, clean, easy to find the attractions. I think the park is nice just as it is...coasters, thrill rides, water rides, water park, attractions, shows. Staff - Kind and courteous, as expected! Naw, they were all very nice; asking if they could take my bags for the fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo on the side; how my day was; if I'm a photographer; ect. Rides: Raven - Since I headed there first. I went straight for the back car, first bench. They were only running one train op the whole day. The trains are pretty, and they must have added new restraints. I got in the last car and after I got off the ride....this is where I ask people. If you're not emotionally attached to The Beast (ride ops) what's so great about it?! I know it used to be good, but hey so did The Crypt! Haha. Backseat or front? Do 'em both. ->9/10. It felt like an unofficial GCI. It was awesome. Constant speed, quick changes in direction, airtime, laterals, and crazy drops into the woods. Kicks the CRAP out of The Beast. Legend - Headed there second. One train op all day, most I waited was 10 minutes. It's cool how they have the bell ringing when the train leaves the station..eerie. I also really like the holwing at the top of the lift. The first drop is pretty good in the backseat, there's a few GREAT airtime hills and moments. Other than that....this ride is CRAZYYYYY laterals! I was broken over the side of my seat by the time I got to the station. It was in a kind of cool way the first time....then it got rough after the 4th. I'd ride in the back, left seat. GO LEFT!!! ->9/10. Great tunnels, interaction with other rides, airtime, and laterals. VOYAGE! - It's massive. It's...huge. The structure is so cool, and I love how it wraps around Thanksgiving. OH MY GOD. This ride is absolutely INSANE. I left the ride saying HOLY SH*T!! Every time. It's everything I heard about it.....and more. And I can see how it can be amazing #1 ride, or a painful potential. For me.... COASTER NIRVANA! New number one coaster. Sorry Diamondback.... Based on your seat, you get ejector air, floater air, roughness, silky smoothness, great views, OMFG airtime, and crazy throw you around moments. Backseat - Airtime over the first hill is very nice. Steep, loonnngggg floater. Same with the two to follow. After that, it's just ejector air, throw you from left to ride, NO BRAKES TO OMFG TRIPPLE DOWN, crazy turns, crazy airtime, 90 DEGREESE, and more airtime. Frontseat - My eyes teared up, and went from my eyes, all the way to my jaw bones...then flew off. Amazing views of the beautiful track, the woods, the area around the ride. You're off the seat probably half the ride. I believe the 24 seconds of airtime is here. Why? Because there's prooooobably 20 moments of airtime. I can't begin to count them. ->10000/10. To me, this is as good as it's been. If El Toro's better, then I can't wait to find out; because I'm not sure how it's going to beat this 4 minute long, 24 second airtime filled ride. This ride is absolutely insane. Liberty Launch - I think I've been on all the different types of drop rides now. OH! Except combo towers. Tower of Terrors, Space Shot, S&S shoot down, Intamin 1st, 2nd, 3rd gen; stand up; Giant 420ft; Shock Drop; and now Double Shot. It's like those little mini energy drinks in like, 1oz. Everything you'd expect from a space shot, just smaller and better. Two moments of shoulder-hits-the-OTSR ejector air, then a little floaty back down. Wow, this park has loads of airtime... Frightfull Falls - Ride it for the tunnel. Raging Rapids - Eh, it's fun. Gobler Getaway - So much fun! My best score was like, 2160. So much better than Scooby Doo...it's impossible! Pilgrim's Plunge - Alright....here we go. When we arrived, we were told it'd open late. I kept looking over to it, and 10, 11, 12....nothing. I think around 2 or 3 it tested, then opened. I went over and got in line. I was REALLY excited for this. I was happy I could ride in just a bathing suit, too. I got up and over to the loading platform, and waited for the front seat. Our boat pulled up....and there was already two people sitting in the front row. Huh? Oh well, I'll just wait for the next boat. Nope. I was pushed onto the boat with someone I didn't know in row two. So that upset me. I sat down, and the lady was trying to get us out quick, so I was stapled pretty bad....now I'm pretty upset. You float around to the back of the lift, pretty quickly. There's random worker dudes, hay, growing grass, and concrete. So really nothing. You're loaded onto the platform, and slowly carried up. It looked so cool and kind of scary from the ground...but it seemed like nothing to me; I was kind of let down there. We get to the top, and start to head down the drop. The water starts to hit off the boat....and shoot right into my eyes. OUCH. Leveling out....then you skim across the water until the splash starts. The boats are pretty compact, and when you hit the water..it's like brakes. HARD brakes. My knees were smashed into the seat infront of me; and I hardly got wet. I was REALLY frustrated during the trip back to the station. Sparknotes: -No front seat for you -Super Staple -Boring trip up to the lift -Mediocre ride up -Water in the eyes at 50mph -Drop into heavy brakes -Smashed knees -Hardly wet Sorry Plunge and HW...but this ride didn't not impress me, and I thought it stunk. My ride was pretty bad; that was my honest trip. Oh...and it broke down 10 min after I got off. It was open about 20-30 minutes the whole day. But I took my anger out on some turkeys, then let Voyage kick my a$$. Photos will be posted soon! -Zach Raven's station. First coaster. Control pannel..and Raven TV! Yummy lift through the woods. Everyone enjoys close ups. Brake run Awesome first drop. Good stuff. It's purple, it's fast! I see youu.... Fun ride! Off the track airtime. Station view. Backround (Current) =) Amazing. Yup, airtime there, too.. Weeee Told ya it's #1 Giga. Most intense part right here. Or maybe because the ride's going on about the 3 minute mark? 3:30 mark? Fun for everyone! Legend trying to be mysterious. Oh yummy. Terrain hugging woodie. Epic. Fear. Then bliss. You keep catching my eye.... Tired of Voyage yet? No? HIGH FIVE! Coaster perfection. Can't get enough. It's huggeeeee. Raven break! I pretty much had it to myself! More to come. Go ride Voyage...NOW!!!!! -Zach

New Management.

Every ride is powered: -By wheels -Electricity -Hydrolics -LIMs -LSMs -Chain lift If someone counts it as a credit, then congratulations....you have an extra credit.

I rode it last month. It was a kick ass ride...I didn't even realize the seatbelts were there!

It has three amazing wooden coasters, a S&S double shot, fantastic water park, and a crazy log flume. I LOVED the place. The Voyage is an absolutely insane roller coaster. You don't know ejector air until you've ridden the back seat of Voyage. It's my number one coaster!

Aw come on! Right when I got off work! Dang! Hahaha

I have found Down Under Thunder (the body slides) to be the worst slides I have ever been on. I've given them many chances, but they're just FILLED with fiberglass splinters...you will be in pain for the rest of the day. Do NOT go on them. I hope to see some expansion and some renovations to Boomerang Bay since it hasn't been touched since '04. Most of the slides there are early 90's, late 80's...am I right? But hey, for a free waterpark with admission...it's pretty awesome.

I'm headed to New Braunsfels along with every other major Texas park in late July. I'll be sure to give it a write up!
