well, i'm still in school right now, so i most likely won't be able to write anything until it lets out. for any who are wondering the publisher is "arcadia publishing"

KI's book could cover so much and I think it would be a great addition for the park, either being sold online and/or at the park. What does everyone think? i've thought about writing a letter to joy w. kraft, author of "images of america: the cincinnati zoo and botanical garden" to ask if she would write one of the series installments on Kings Island, i know the one on the cincinnati zoo is amazing, and i know there are enough things that have happened in the park's history that would make one on Kings Island spectacular.

lol at 0:43 it looks like you're giving praise to the coaster gods angie!! you can even hear you over the guy yelling about his kids first ride ever.

i know this is random, but is this the lower portion of track in the second helix?

Even Camden Park has a Swan Lake...and pedal boats...shaped like Swans! lol, when i read that an image of people in swan shaped pedal boats, pedaling around Diamondback's splashdown popped into my head.

i love sky hawk, it's my number one flat ride of all time. , sorry to hear about the not getting to ride it and congrats to a roll back, the closest i've come to one was waiting next to the "grandstands" after one of lake erie's freak rain storms.

maybe they're just trying to create an excuse to remove that said coaster in Action Zone.

^i agree, lol. if you do another fly over Kings Island, would you please take some photos of Son of Beast's structure, like the rosebowl.

so i just found this video of the crypt from when it had it's most amazing program ever: compare it to now, it's not as intense, but i'll still go out of my way to ride it:

Ya everybody at my school calls it Snoopy Land........some people really just say whatever. Haha. Comment from link above on facebook yea, people just amaze me, and good luck if you ever try to put any truth into your wall post, i've had every single wall post of mine deleted because the fifth grader running the page believes i'm lying about Vortex not sinking.

that sounds like a great 5@5 question, it would be very interesting to find out.

i love that the lights, when lit, don't look as if they are just thrown up on the trees. great job Cedar Fair/Kings Island.

i love how you took the picture just as Diamondback was going through the splash down.

Keep in mind how bad Vortex looked before they painted it in 2001. It might as well have been painted white. I can't find a pic right now, but I found one in a magazine a while ago, and was shocked... that must have been it's original paintjob!

^try it, then you'll understand, i never wanted to believe him, until i rode there.

^i think holiday world, as a seasonal park, and disney, as a year round park, have got Cedar Point beat in the "keeping things a secret" department.

that is awesome, i especially like the wheelchair swings, it really lets them feel like they're fitting in better.

^ i'm almost 100% positive that they are like the ones on the cars that make up the trains for backlot, not like the ones on top thrill.

i think since the program has changed, the main reason i ride is just so i can hear the drive motors running, it's just some crazy echo-ie goodness that i can't get enough of.

i'm sorry about that, i misread the story on screamscape. here is the link to the f-1 coaster trains.

another question, i know they look similar in pictures, but is flight deck an exact replica of Vortex at canada's wonderland?

^i don't think it will be possible to ever make Son of Beast look like an eyesore.

^yes, i e-mailed the park and that was the reply i received, as long as it was purchased by the 31st, i can process it whenever, but if i don't i will either have to spend more money on buying a platinum or, funny enough, spend more money on a regular season pass.

i know i'm very optimistic about the ride, but could this just mean nothing more than new trains?

tomb raider opened in '02, not '01, and you can't go by a pattern like this, it all depends on the parks budget.
