The CRYPT - New and Improved...AGAIN!
i was fortunate to not have to hear the techno music, but the wind blowing noise gets really annoying after about 2 minutes of hearing.

Son of Beast
Kings Island only owns two trains. really now? did you not read the post that was 2 before yours? ki has the trains from villain! plus if ki only owned 2 trains how in the world would they be able to have 13 other coasters there?

Flight of Fear Video
then why was it played last season?
-
Flight of Fear Video
they only had them on for the last 3 or 4 months of park operation, i don't think they kept them on long enough for people to know about them.

What's Your Opinion of the RED Racer?
i liked the red racer it was very smooth but it will take me some getting use to taking a right turn insted of a left one. (i still miss the recar though.)

Indoor Rides
i don't know about Kings Island but at Cedar Point they close disaster trasport when it rains(and it seems to take the longest to start back up.)

Avatar Airbender "16 year-old" seat question
yes, the only reason ki doesn't want children setting there is because they are not as big as the adults in the row therefore they could slip out of the open seat.
-
New track?
we already do, it's flight deck (the only bad thing is it is real rust.)
-
Top five things you'd like to bring back/change
1. put the loop back in Son of Beast 2. remove the building from the crypt (if its not going to have theming in it there isn't a need for it) 3. no flight deck 4. 2009 roller coaster be built now 5. better names for the old paramount rides

Guests Say The Darnest Things
on may 10 i was at the park while the music in the parks was going on and while i was standing in line for the red racer there were two girls standing behind me, one was telling the other how the red racer went backwards and while she was telling the other that the red racer came out forward, so then (i guess to not look wrong) the first girl told the other that one of the trains on the red racer went forward while the other one still went backwards.

The Crypt
i was just wondering if anyone else noticed how the ride description for the crypt hasn't been updated in a while. http://visitkingsisland.com/attractions/detail.cfm?ai_id=155

Should Congo Falls and Wings Diner change names?
they were also the ones who were going to remove Flight of Fear.

King Cobra Graveyard
since we are talking about this area, what is the big hole they have dug for? when i rode Son of Beast yesterday i looked over at the graveyard on the mid-course brake run and saw that they have dug a huge hole right next to the track.

A crowded Park on 5/10/08
i just wasn't sure because even though it is taller than a top spin i thought what made it a giant top spin was it having such a greater amount of seats(the three rows and the longer rows)
-
A crowded Park on 5/10/08
Was Son of Beast really 2 1/2 hours long? If so all of the ques must have been open, and the line still going back to the entrance. no all of them were not open but six were, but what really made the line move so slow was the fact that the trains take so long to get around the track now.
-
Are there any rides you won't go on at KI?
and the old trains also got around the track ALOT faster than they do now. with the new trains there can be an empty station for about two minutes
-
Are there any rides you won't go on at KI?
me too, i don't know why but it makes me nervious. well maybe it is because there are very similar rides like it at county fairs and i don't like to ride fair rides.

A crowded Park on 5/10/08
well here was how my first trip to Kings Island was(today) got to the park at 1:00 got in the park at 1:30 (got my season pass processed) got in line for the crypt as soon as i got there and waited maybe around half an hour( better if it had theming in ride) then we walked past swan lake to see the construction got in line for the red racer waited around 10 mins. then while my mom and dad got food at outer hanks i rode ae and waited 5 mins. then got in line for Son of Beast and waited at least 2 1/2 hours. then walked around in the gift shops to get my dog a stuffed animal then we left around 5:00 and i was just wondering, are they still calling the crypt a giant top spin? or is it now just a top spin?

What was your first "big kid" ride you went on at KI?

Kings Island's New Media Center
i think the video of Son of Beast is very misinformative, beings it shows the loop and the old trains.

angrybeaver's huge Photo/video trip report (4/26/08)
i got stuck on it last year. i would have enjoyed it better if the tunnel around the final lift wasn't so stuffy.
