you could hear it pretty well.

o.k. have they removed or just turned off the trim break before the loop on Firehawk? because of the first two times i rode Firehawk i could hear it but i rode it this year i didn't hear the break.

wow i knew about alot of the things on that list, but i never really put them all together and relize that there were that many new things for 2008.

me too

at least they get the name somewhat right, you know there are the ones that will say hey lets go ride the yellow one (Invertigo) or lets go ride superman (Firehawk) or lets go ride white water canyon (congo falls)

The trims are not turned up or down in any fashion. They are the same on any given day. plus imo the magnetic trims add to the roughness of the ride, i say this because when you are going down the first hill of The Beast and get up to speed, then you crest over the bunny hop after the first tunnel and as soon as you start to lift out of your seat to get air time you hit those trims and it throws you forward and jams the lap bar into your stomach. As far as I know, no magnetic brakes are used on The Beast. They're just pneumatic. the trims going down the first hill, over the first bunny hop, and dropping into the helix are all magnetic.

so would that mean that mantis at Cedar Point has only half a corkscrew?

http://www.themeparkbrochures.net/1987/pki1987_2.html i was looking through the old park brochures when i came acrossed Kings Islands for the year '87 and while i was reading the description i noticed a very big mistake. it says that Vortex goes through two loops one corkscrew and a batwing.

o.k. why in the world do they still have the ride description up that they do for the crypt. there isn't any theming in the big garage the top spin is actually in and it says that riders will be in the middle of a battle between lava and ice.

like a grr tiger or a meow cat that isn't really a tiger but looks like one.

i have two pets, one boxer mix and one goldfish. sorry i don't have any pictures, but my dad has some crazy old wise-tale imbedded in his head that says if you take a picture of any animal it will die very young.

my bad, i thought it was a top spin.

i was just wondering if any top spin could move the way that this one does or if it just had to be built to. http://youtube.com/watch?v=EnxDEb0ypC4&feature=related

i can't tell is this ride just a themed top spin or what?

hey you guy's check out the newest concept from huss. http://www.myvideo.de/watch/3530473/King_K...ark_Attractions

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.

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?

then why was it played last season?

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.

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.)

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.)

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.

we already do, it's flight deck (the only bad thing is it is real rust.)

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
