mini cooper's are still part of the ride backlot, they just removed the paramount references, and paramount doesn't own mini, or bmw for that mater.

I think they should paint the railings on the blue side red, and the railings on the red side blue.. Just my thought. at least it would match the sign out front, blue over the begining of the red sides line, and red over the begining of the blue sides line.

something i just noticed is the green train on Diamondback is now setting on the ground behind it's storage shed, winter rehab has offically started!!!

i've always imagined everyone being shoved into the bathrooms or down in the many hollers around like Son of Beast, The Beast, and the entrance plaza(over by the dog kennel)

well Son of Beast is the largest roller coaster in the park, (amount of building material) and always has a long line, so if we go by this, if we're lucky, it will stay. i'm back!!!!!!!! lol

^they've modified/changed the trains twice, once they removed the last car of each of the old pct trains and then when they switched over to the gerstlauer trains.

so, you've never liked The Beast? how sad.

maybe it has to do with the fact that you were only four or five when those ad's were on t.v.

joker's jinx at six flags america. in this picture you can see where the mid-course brake run would be if it was Flight of Fear (the part of track with the circle things around it) and you can see that there isn't a catwalk or any wiring for brakes. http://rcdb.com/544.htm?p=524 Joker's Jinx also uses 2 trains, whereas FoF uses 3 trains. i understand that, even though it only runs train 1 and train 3 now, but read what you said, weather it be for a block or not i was just answering the question you asked.

Vortex's mcbr is used as a block. then why on earth did it run for so long with the mid-course turned off?

a couple of nights ago i had a dream that alot of us kic'ers were at Kings Island on a non-operating day standing out by the gate that leads to the parking over by the employee entrance and the only thing that don would say to us was "7348" and that was it, nothing more and nothing less, so people started throwing out random guesses to what they thought it me. all i could think about was all of the rides that were around that length, and all i could think about was millie, and steel dragon over in japan, so i yelled out giga coaster to him, he looked at me nodded his head and walked back into his office and left all of us kic'ers outside in the cold staring at each other, but no one was excited or happy, everyone was just confused and then i woke up. wierd dream.

are you going to help with this re-theme, if so can you take pictures during the offseason for us?

^so are you saying that they thought it was open even when the line has been closed off.

I'm assuming you've never been on Pirates Of The Carribean and don't forget the haunted mansion

and what is a drop, but a simpler way of saying "change in elevation". actually, i do count those as drops, the only thing i don't consider drops are the things like the first turn on The Beast, The Racer, or the other things on roller coasters that are very slight inclines that help the trains coast slowly into or out of the station.

^sorry if i sounded like a jerk.

maggie, Diamondback, millie

^actually if you didn't cut down what i said, then it would have been right.

yes it does, if it didn't then the whole ride would just be a launch over a long straight peice of track.

world's tallest wooden coaster world's first successfully looping wooden coaster world's longest wooden coaster world's first inverted family coaster world's first coaster to have six inversions world's first lim launch coaster world's tallest gyro drop world's best kids area for 9 years running world's first giant top spin world's first giant frisbee you're right they arn't know for many unique things. EDIT: i forgot about Diamondback being the first hyper coaster with a splashdown, there are most likely alot more that i have forgotten, feel free to add.

like disney world, even though my none of my most favorite rides are there, i got goosebumps everytime i walked into one of the four parks there from how amazing walt disney was and how his dream has been reflected in the parks long after he's been gone. man i really want to go back to disney, one week wasn't even close enough time to go through all four parks.

ah, see the parks site doesn't have it on the calander, but once you said it was pride night i remembered about the topic rumorsmasher started about it. i guess i just had a brain fart.

how long does it last? i figured the park would be closed by now, it's almost midnight.

is the park just having a staff ride night or something? both these are from the web-cam at 11:43 on september 11, 2009
