White Water Canyon's 25th Birthday
last year was my first year going to Kings Island, ever since i was tall enough, where i didn't even ride white water canyon once, and the worst part is, i didn't even realize it until it was too late. so here's to 25 years wwc.

New KI Slogan?
well i don't think this is appropriate, but i guess if it's too inappropriate it will be removed by the mods. it was, Kings Island: make it long and hard.

The Son of Beast Discussion Thread
yea, i kinda figured that a direct hit would have been very bad, for both the goose and fabio, instead of the only the goose. i mean i think it's bad just to get pooped on by a seagull at Cedar Point, i couldn't image having a huge dead bird carcass hit me in the nose while traveling at that rate of speed.

^lol, a goose can take down a plane, but nothing can take down fabio. kinda reminds me of a chuck norris joke.

DB Trains ready for business
is that the one that had been setting behind the storage shed since november? if so, i could have sworn it was green.
-
The Son of Beast Discussion Thread
well, i doubt that would work, expecially since Cedar Fair redesigned and rebuild one whole section of the ride and the goose was about when fabio got hit in the face while riding apollo's chariot, and you referring to the different things that could cause a blood vessel to burst. edit: terpy beat me to explaining the goose.

^like a goose?

The Son of Beast Discussion Thread
^^but with that, Son of Beast was tested and cleared to see if there was any part of the ride that could have caused such a force that would have caused a blood vessel to burst. so i don't see how they can use that as evidence that Son of Beast was the cause of the burst vessel.

The Son of Beast Discussion Thread
i'm talking about the woman who reported bursting a blood vessel in her head after riding Son of Beast, the case that was settled in court (the one left over from the '06 accident), i understand was caused by Son of Beast.
-
The Son of Beast Discussion Thread
well the '06 one, and although not technically an accident, i count the closing right after it's grand opening to rebuild a part of the ride structure. okay, so it's the same number with both if you don't count the closing right after opening, but still, the one with Cedar Fair has yet to have proof that Son of Beast was the cause of it.

The Son of Beast Discussion Thread
i believe that Cedar Fair is on the way to getting Son of Beast from being a maintenance nightmare, i mean come on, they're in control of the ride for one overhaul and there has been one extreme accident (which still hasn't had proof of it being the cause.) i agree with this completely, if you don't like the heights involved, i'll gladly take your job.

Cedar Fair: Sale? Re-Finance? What Next?
why can't dick kinzel and other people higher up in Cedar Fair buy enough stocks to have a yes vote?

The Son of Beast Discussion Thread
no it wouldn't the whole 100 pages would be arguments over the decision, some would love it, and others would despise it, and some would still be indifferent.

no it was the front, when standing in the pre-show room, the far left line is roped off, follow it with your eyes into the ride room, you'll fall off onto the garage floor.
