coaster_junky

all this talk of tats reminds me of this:

like Son of Beast , and Flight of Fear

but sometimes the train can launch faster than that, i've even seen top thrill go 126 mph

http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17933 i put speed, because even though i love height, without it you can't get the g's or get through inversions

1.dragster 2.millie 3.magnum 4.raptor 5.wicked twister

^like when the track for Firehawk started showing up? all of the news stations were talking about the green track of x-flight showing up in Kings Island's parking lot. then two weeks later, the headline on channel 5 was "we are the first to report this, green track has been spotted in Kings Island's parking lot" makes me laugh

is that able to be heard all the way back by the hammerhead, because i know that on the tenth there wasn't a horn sounded, but there was a maintnance man walking around back by the hammerhead.

i don't know either, but i think if Cedar Fair chooses to build a ride that goes over 100 mph, i could see at least beating the record in the u.s.

^if your going to spend the money to make it go that fast, why not go all the way and break a record?

my dad was telling me how the restraints were held locked by compressed air, and one day while he was standing in line on riders harness wouldn't come down tight on him, so the ride operators rolled out an air compresser and hooked it up to the capsule the rider was riding in. didn't they add covers over the top of the ride after the accident?

what? are you saying the color doesn't make the ride?

i personally love the red track, expecially the really dark red like Diamondback and Firehawk.

i've had a grey out in the back/front seat of Invertigo, and i must say it wasn't very fun, and i think the first time i rode top thrill i started to grey out when the train started to peel up, but was fine once we started going vertical.

i must agree, it even gave me goosebumps when i read it. excilent job, you captured everything down to the smell, and i too would hate to see The Beast surrounded by more lights then it already is now.

or nightmare, when i was little, like maybe 6 or 7 i had a dream that i was one of the toy's in that movie, it absolutly scared the living crap out of me, expecially when i came in contact with that wierd spider thingy with the baby doll head

but when they have the themeing working on it, at one point it looks like you're going past one of those wierd robotic arms that's painting something and you can see very well that you are riding in a giant feed trough for livestock.

^somebody knows coaster_junky who just had to

see, that's what made me wonder that it could be going because i know that some web-pages go down from time to time, but to not be listed in the section of the park it's in and it's page not working really made me think. plus what does it matter if it just opened in '04, The Bat wasn't even up two whole years

when The Beast opened it was also the world's tallest and fastest, Flight of Fear was the first to use a lim launch(not really a record but kinda neat to know), The Bat was the first suspended swinging roller coaster( so i guess with that comes, tallest, fastest, longest suspended swinging roller coaster). there might be more, but this is all i can think of right now, by any chance was The Racer the tallest roller coaster when it opened?

great find cedarpointer, i really wish they had kept alittle of that themeing

so, i didn't see anything on this and i was wondering, is silver bullet leaving knott's anytime soon? the only reason i'm asking this is because when you click to go on it's web-page it is an error message that pops up

or at least put those egg carton things on the walls so you don't have to worry about your ears bleeding when a teenage girl's scream echos.

^i'm pretty sure that's still the same old description

yea, but not near as entertaining as a 230' tall, 80 mph snake

well, the only reason i know about the women's restroom at the front gate is because it takes my sister an additional 10 minutes to use the bathroom now since she plays with them insted of hurrying
