Me and you like alot of the same rides. Some of which are the ones most people don't. Nice photos, Sucks photobucket does that though... Can't wait for part two. -
Holiday World New Coaster?
DropZone99 replied to DaveStroem's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Well on another site someone mentioned they said it would be less than 13.5 Million Dollars. Although that does mean it could be 2 Million dollar addition (2Million is less than 13.5...), I'd think it would be close to 13.5. Holiday World's major coasters were somewhat in a pattern. 1995: Raven 2000: Legend 2006: Voyage (people say it was originally opening in 05' though.) So it is about time for a new coaster. Maybe when they bought Pilgrim's Plunge they also bought another Intamin. Like when SFGAdv got Kingda Ka in 05' and El Toro in 06'. I would like to see another Intamin Woodie in America. -
The park needs a good atmosphere. There needs to be alot to do for everyone, including the kids and older people. Of course there needs to be a good collection of rides, and roller coasters. That's pretty much the basic things good parks have.

http://visitkingsisland.com/attractions/detail.cfm?ai_id=156 Thrill Rides Son of Beast PLEASE NOTE: THIS ATTRACTION IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED
-
I used to be able to ride anything until Ride Warriors Weekend. On Saturday night I was about to get on Beast right before ERT Started, and my stomach hurt super bad. Than after I rode Beast my stomach hurt worst but I just went and rode Diamondback. I rode it 17 Times, most of which didn't leave the train. My last 3 or so rides I felt really nauseous. Once ERT was over and felt like I was going to throw up, luckily I didn't but now I have a bad problem. I can ride Diamondback, but only a few times a day. It really sucks, I want to just stay on all day but I feel sick after 3 in a row. This now happens on most coasters except wooden ones and Firehawk. I even rode Reptar one day cause It was empty, and I never felt more nauseous in my life! It sucks, even on a Kiddie coaster I get like that sometimes. I do still love coasters as much as ever (And trust me, I love coasters more than anything, it's all my life.) But I can't reride much anymore. I really hope this problem will go away, I think maybe if I just keep reriding I'll get over it, or if I take a break from coasters? Maybe even If I threw up, I'd be cured. Cause I feel like I need to throw up and I'll feel fine, but I just have to wait til' the day comes that I do (I only throw up every 4 Years or so for some reason...) But anyways, on topic... Kings Island needs some more classic rides. Ferris Wheel, Flying Scooters, Full size Whip, ect... Also we're lacking thrill rides, All we have is Drop Zone, Delirium, Crypt, Slingshot, and Xtreme Skyflier. Crypt now sucks, and the last two are up charge. Hopefully we get a Screamin' Swing or Jump2 in the next 5 years.

Observations of an American Poet In Paris While on Trial in Miami
DropZone99 replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Trip Reports
I haven't noticed the Advertisements of the new shows yet, it's nice they are doing that. The Guitar Hero thing is pretty new. The Walk of Fame in Tower Gardens has been around since atleast early June though, I remember looking at them on June 10th. and June 14th. The resort buses, For some reason I feel like I've seen them painted like that before, but everyone is saying it's new. I know last year they were the ugly dark green. -
I'm sorry to hear you lost them. I can see if you lost a cell phone or camera on the ride they wouldn't do much, but with key's they should search for them. I mean do they expect you to rent a locker to put a Key in, or put just 1 Key in the bin? How did you get home? Is your car still at Kings Island?

I have only eaten there once, and that was during Haunt. So of course it was alot different for me. I remember some of the food being really good, and some being nasty. I'm not the person who eats in the park usually (And if I do it's LaRosas or Skyline) but I might give Rivertown Junction another try.

Right now the line is about 13 Minutes long.

better coaster Millinuem Force or Diamondback?
DropZone99 replied to diamondback1's topic in KI Polls
Not just cause KI is my home park and I like KI better, but I prefer Diamondback alot more. Millennium Force is a great coaster, but it lacks airtime. Diamondback has everything a coaster should have and more. -

It's a Mid Summer's SCREAM!
DropZone99 replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
I don't know, I may go. I wish we had more than a few days to decide though. -
I used to always put my Arm and head out and get soaked while in row 16. Until RWCW ERT when it was probably 50º and I was freezing, than I stopped and haven't tried since.
-
Sorry to hear about all the problems but atleast you got everything in! I wish I would of bought a Flash Pass last year when I went to SFGAm. I got there around noon and left at 8pm, and Most rides We 30+ Minute Waits. Luckily I got all the coasters in, and they're Top Spin. Can't wait for the photos, and to read about Indiana Beach. Actually I'm going to Indiana Beach Next Wednesday for the first time!

How does Viking Fury suck this year? It's the same as last year. No it's not. It's alot different than last year, just like Crypt is different from last year. The ride cycle is so much shorter, it seems slower, barley swings, and is just boring.

I'll see if I noticed next week.

How often do Evacs happen on rollercoasters?
DropZone99 replied to jondrewfoo's topic in Kings Island
I was 2 Trains Away from getting an Evac on Diamondback's MCBR, and 1 Train away from getting an Evac off the Final Brake Run. -
If you had Kings Island all to yourself for a day...
DropZone99 replied to McSalsa's topic in KI Polls
I would spend most of my day on Drop Zone. If Son of Beast was open I'd probably ride it for an hour or Two Nonstop. I'd ride Firehawk, Flight of Fear, and Invertigo tons of times cause I barley get the chance to ride those. Also I'd ride Diamondback many times til' I got tired of it. If the Water park was Included I would go there. And I would attempt to ride Every Single Ride atleast once. -
To get the credit. I'm not an adult (I'm 16) But I once waited 30 minutes for Jr. Gemini at CP during Coaster Mania 08'.

^ Well it's Knoebels so it'll be completed and open probably by 2013.

Big Bad Wolf closing
DropZone99 replied to Aaron88stang's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
This Sucks, I was really looking forward to riding this Next Year, but now I won't get to... I Don't see why they're removing it. It doesn't Close Til' September, And it'll Take A while to Remove. I bet Something Dumb will Replace it like too. I'm really mad at Busch now, Even if it was Replaced with Some Amazing Coaster to compete with KD's Giga, I'll still be upset they removed a Classic Arrow... -
