Action Theater
the first movie i remember seeing at action theater was smash factory, i thought it was hilarious when you would smack through the cardboard cutouts of the peds, i dought that Kings Island will get rid of the building, mainly because the right half has the park's longest Halloween Haunt attraction. maybe Kings Island will put red beard's revenge in the left side of action theater this year making two big haunt attractions that don't have to be removed every off-season. oh, and didn't don say at the off-season blues party that action theater wasn't even going to open this year?

How often do Evacs happen on rollercoasters?
here is my most memorable moment getting stuck on something: on july 14, 2009 i got stuck on the silver monorail at disney for about half an hour, we got stuck where the track starts to bank and turn to the right going from the station at magic kingdom to the contemporary hotel. we were told by the driver that it was because one of the drive motors that turn the wheels blew (i figured it was because he had crossed into the 200 ft. "cushon" between trains.), we were unable to pull up the hill leading to the contemporary hotel, so we had to set and wait (of course what can we do 20ft in the air riding on a high voltage rail) for the other monorails to reverse so they were a safe distance away so our monorail could attempt to back up into the station at the magic kingdom. while we waited to go in reverse the monorail drive tried again to get the monorail to climb up the not steeply banked climb to the contemporary, but this time he gunned the train and we didn't go forward, but insted we got to listen to the wonderful sound of tires skreching on a concreate track. after all of the monorails had gotten the safe distance away, we started to back up, and even though we were going downhill, we almost didn't make it, the monorail moved so slow that i didn't think that there was any way that we were going to make it all the way back to the station, but we did and in all honesty i didn't think disney cared at all that they had just stranded *insert number of people stuck on monorail* for half an hour, and were actually very rude to my grandma when she jokingly asked, "where do we pick up our free micky shirts".

KIngs Island's new video page
did anyone notice that at the begining of the video for Vortex, it shows "The Vortex"? i mean it's pretty bad when even the park puts the the in the rides name's

new coaster at the point?

Big Bad Wolf closing
Nope. I love a lot of them...I'm just saying the park basically has the same kind of rides. I would like a wood coaster in there please. Kings Island holds the record for most wooden roller coaster at one park, and you are complaning about there not being enough, look at the bright side we have twice as many wooden roller coasters as another theme park in the state of ohio.
-
better coaster Millinuem Force or Diamondback?
it might be "clearly readable" but it doesn't make any sense.

SFKK TWISTED TWINS
Mile High has not been open in 2 years. Investment has been put into the park just only in the waterpark. Twisted Twins opend in 1998 and when they did they were known as Twisted Sisters until the band "Twisted Sisters" threatend to sue. CoasterJunky you might just want to give up on that rumor.... and that band was named twisted sister, not twisted sisters, and yea, i kinda figured if they were going to move there they would have already done that.

What ride was open the year you were born
december 2, 1992: the year paramount bought the park, and i'm guessing when they started construction of top gun/flight deck ninja and Vortex opened too

SFKK TWISTED TWINS
maybe if we are lucky kentucky kingdom is getting ready to move to the land by kentucky speedway they purchaced a while ago or at least they were rumored to have bought. this would at least give them room to build something.

Son of Beast gone, Yes or No?
and in case you didn't notice Son of Beast's track and supports are much more complex than raptor's, which would mean it would take longer for a complete inspection
