i have a feeling that rivertown will be very crowded on the 20th
. so if i get to go i might wait a while before i go over there.

Check out the photo gallery again. I was sent a rather interesting photo of the Backlot Stunt Coaster's trains being prepared to be reloaded onto the track.
that picture is amazing!! i wish there was a picture of the billboard.

i was just wondering if anyone here is going on a math & science day this year.
i am pretty sure that i'm going on the may 23

KI has a contract with Coke for 3 more years. So nothing will possibly happen until then. Cedar Point and other non Paramount Cedar Fair parks have a contract with Pepsi for one more year with rumors they may go to Coke when the year is up.
i hope not, i love getting Pepsi at Cedar Point.

as long as they still serve the same food i will be o.k., i guess

you're all forgetting that last year- in addition to a hand-me-down from a closing park we got new trash cans.
And that's a bad thing? Most people don't even know that Firehawk was a used coaster. How is having more trash cans bad? I'd rather see that than fewer, overflowing trash cans.
but fewer trash cans means fewer bumble bees

Is Six Flags New Orleans open,SBNO,or just never going to open again.Ive seen some pics of it underwater.Its pretty sad.
Heres some Pics of it underwater http://interthemepark.shutterfly.com/actio...d=1204756305189
who really knows? (from what my grandpa told me) when the old coney island would flood after the waters would go down they would go in and then repair everything and get it back up on its feet.

it depends on if my dad can get off work. but next year i should have my drivers license and will go even if my dad can't get off.

I also never rode Racer north facing backwards!
then lets switch them, turn the backwards racer forward and the forward racer backward. all you would have to do is switch the trains.

What a strange place and time to post that response!
Here I thought you were going to tell us details about this year's new Glow In The Park parade at Six Flags Great Adventure.
coasterfreak gits toung twisted
and you don't? or do you just not proof read your post?

You are correct, but I hear there's nothing to brag about CP's dorms. I've been told that they are in horrible condition. But, that is the reason they get more international employees I'm sure.
yea, when i was in seventh grade i went with the middle school band to preform in music in the park and we stayed at the hotel breakers and those rooms were in horridable shape. we even asked why they let the rooms go like they did and they said it was to keep the historicalness of the hotel. but the weird thing was the rooms were the only thing that were in such bad condition

will there be a more diverce work force this year at Kings Island? i just ask this due to the work force at Cedar Point.
-
so will pictures come soon?
In this weather no. Also keep in mind that right now flying is very expensive. If you think $40 to fill up your car tank is a lot, just think about what the bill would look like for an airplane.
Right now I am sorry to say the only means of viewing KI from the air is by my old photos and satellite maps.
o.k. i understand,
boy i wish google would update there satellite images.
-
Sadly I thing everyone was hopping for Kings Island not Coney Island. Sure I like Coney Island but nothing is going on in the pictures.
I understand I am the off-season spy and many of you have been waiting patiently for aerial photos.
Wonder if Kings Island asked not to fly over and take pictures?Unless KI is owned by the government and has private airspace over the park, Kings Island and Cedar Fair have no say what-so-ever to tell people not to fly over their parks.
so will pictures come soon?
-
Everyone is looking foward to opening day... well almost everyone. I know I am. (Thanks to Firehawk)
so if it wasn't for Firehawk you wouldn't be looking forward to opening day?
-
Avatar airbender all the way!!! My friends and I can't get enough of that ride!!
the first time i rode this i was in shock with the thrill that this thing gives. i personaly think that this ride shouldn't be in the kiddie land surrounded by the little gentle rides
-
The recaR would never be the same if it was backwards, it's so much more thrilling than frontwards Racer. About 70% of the people who ride The Racer/recaR ride it backwards, so it would be a very stupid move for Cedar Fair and Kings Island.
That figure you quoted is not correct. Not even close.
Just realized that it was very confusing to read, so i fixed it... hopefully it's easier now?
I think he meant your figure of 70% is nowhere near correct. I don't believe it was a spacing issue in your words.
well i can see where he is getting this, beings the recar almost always has a line twice the lenght of The Racer
-
Grooves? I'd like to see that video.
i think it was on how do they do it. one of the very first episodes. it still had upstop and side friction wheels but the top wheels were in grooves
-
^ Ruts in it's track?
Exactly what track are you referring to?
i was watching some show on roller coasters and it showed that blue streak has grooves that it runs along the track in
-
And if he didn't, surely he doesn't think Blue Streak has flanged wheels.
It doesn't.
i was thinking about how blue streak has ruts in its track
-
then how about this turn the coney side forward and turn the x-base side backward so the views would be different
-
i don't know why but to me a roller coasters logo is part of it's identity. And reusing it takes away the fact that it is one of a kind.
There are many coasters that have been duplicated not only with their logos, but in design as well as name.
Absolutely nothing unusual there.
but those rides aren't one of a kind so it really it doesn't follow what i think
and lets face it, it would look weird to see top thrills logo on a wooden coaster
-
Would you be upset if they turn the backwards racer around
i would for one reason, and that i couldn't set in the back seat of the recar and watch the track pull away from me. plus i don't even like the forward racer

so you are saying they want everyone in the park to just go to rivertown? leaving all of the other rides with no lines at all. it would be like when everyone ran to x-base to be first in line for Firehawk.
