o.k. i just looked at the pictures again and the track was more blue, i just thought it was lavender because it was cloudy from it raining, and the track was parked in the shade. so, sorry.

the track i saw had more of a purpleish color than those pictures showed.

yea, it was like a more blueish lavender, and i can't get my phone to connect to the sprint network so i will try again later to post the picture of it.

to me it looked like Diamondback's track, just a different color. and from the pics you just posted, flying coaster track and a hyper coasters track look identical.

yea, it looked alot like Diamondbacks

i took a pic of the scan lable, and under customer it said BM-LCG08, so does the bm mean b&m?

o.k. so i live forever away from Kings Island (down in grant county, kentucky), and yesterday me and my family were driving past the walfle house, when i noticed something strange, thats when i reallized that there was a 18 wheeler parked in the parking lot with 3 peices of lavenderish colored track, so could this be track going down to sea world? i do have pics on my cell phone, but i don't have a cable to download them to my computer, and i don't have internet on my phone.

no, i couldn't have came up with something that witty if my life had depended on it unless of course it was just an accident as just happened.

no, i was really talking about the picture that they have from the animation on sfmm's web-site.

wow! that lift looks really steep.

i know that when i rode it on 8-8-08 it was only running one train and it took like 45 min. to get from the ufo to the loading station.

you know, i don't ever recall having to use a park map at Kings Island, or at Cedar Point (unless you count memorizing the park map from the web-site.)

o.k. i can't believe i just remembered this, but in august when i went to Cedar Point, me and my family were walking in frontiertown and i was telling my family how i thought it was neat that Cedar Point had painted horse shoes on the ground in response to maverick, but when ever i brought it up anyone that was standing around was laughing at me, then i came to find out that there weren't really hoof prints but actually peoples shoe prints from the wet side walk from mavericks water canons.

i'm not sure about repainting The Racer, but flying eagles was removed to make room for backlot.

great pictures as always guys. expecially the panoramic view of the splashdown, i can just see the train coming through that with a giant rooster tail!

You should have seen the snake over at coney maul the first haunt weekend!! Personally, I am upset with the trees being destroyed, but I understand things must change. I just hope they are replaced elsewhere in the park. Have a look here. If you look closely, you'll be able to tell that some trees will be making a return visit to The Beast's plaza area. After visiting the park on the 1st, I could see KI getting rid of the "Beast Canyon" entrance, and placing a new entrance very near to the ORP stand. It seems very logical to me to redo it that way. could you please post a new link. and i like The Beast canyon building

Well, Vortex's entrance is hard enough to find anyway... Not if you've ridden it once. I never forget where to find Vortex. you know i would have agreed with your theory two years ago "if you have ridden it once you won't forget where the entrance is", but i have come to find out i always forget where the entrance to cedar creek mine ride is.

terpy, even though you don't like them, this should be your sig.

yes, that is true. but look at it this way, little bill's giggle coaster and top thrill dragster are both sit-down roller coasters, but they are still two completle different forms of that "breed" of roller coaster.

umm, rugrats isn't even the same type of roller coaster as volcano.

yea, thats what x is.

i truely have a three way tie between strata, giga, and wooden. but i voted for wood.

that is exactly what i did for Firehawk on opening day, and then i just got in line once the it started to move and only had to wait 3 hours! oh, and don said that the entrance to The Beast will look like what it did the year that it opened, can anyone post a picture of that, please?
