Again, CF will probably try harder to race them. In fact, I for one saw a substantial difference in the racing between 2006 and 2007.

I love the KI Theatre Sign. Real origional. The Crypt looks cool. I think they could have done more with BLSC (BSC?).

I'm getting my pass processed early, I'll send pics of testing rides.

^Stupid, no. room for improvement, yes.

They could have been worse. I wonder what they'll do with the mini cooper cars?

^Paramount is a company who makes movies. They are not an amusement park buisness. Cedar Fair is. Paramount used the theme parks as advertising, Cedar Fair is for real. I bet they will try MUCH harder to explain why it's called The Racer. Well said Brown. I have never gotten a chance to ride it forward, and I look forward to the new experience.

I'm afraid SFMM may become my new home park someday (don't ask why), but if things trun out right I'll never have to live there. Either way, Cedar Point deserves the title. No contest.

I don't see the point of having a barrier if the rides are practically the same.

^No, it just slows to almost a stop, than picks up speed.

^Like someone said, unnessasary wear+tear.

I hope that there is some real retracking going on here, cause there going to need a retracking to compete with SoB's overhaul. Plus DeLorian rider's right, the center of gravity get's the Back-er-red train up first and the "Race" is never fun.

^Yes, yes, yes, there are so many things worng with society we see that now. I'd like to see someone besides me say something positive please?

Intersting reaction.... I approve!

Jamesv7: I know exactly what you're talking about. I look forward to slapping hands with my little brother while riding the opposing side of The Racer! Will they try harder to Race them now?

^Judging by the response on this board, I'd believe that people will not be thrilled.

I haven't been alive to ride it forwards so i look forwards to riding it. (Bad pun totally intended )

I hope I get there this year. It only has two roller coasters, but those two are enough to get me there.

First off: YES!! IT"S GOING FORWARD! GO Cedar Fair! Second: Thanks for the update, Boddah. I really like the picture, nice clear and glossy. Third: You're totally right, Boddah. RACING a Backwards and Forwards train is goofy. Last: I'm going to talk my mom into getting our passes processed this weekend, I send Pics.

YA! Finally life at Kings Island. After this long, brutal, and cold cold offseason, The Amusement park Skyline is coming out of hybernation. Just think, a couple more weeks and we'll be riding...

I enjoy the Python. The quick drops and force full turns are something that spell FUN without having to broadcast it like larger coasters.

I want Hanna Barbera! Anyway, I do think they will renew the license. It is cheaper and easier. Plus having renamed all the Paramount rides this year, removing Nick would be to much all at once.

You might be a KI Addict if you, can't think of anything but know you're an Addict at heart.

Top Gun's chain slows VERY dramaticly, but does not stop. The same thing is applied to most other rides, they just slow untill it clears the previous block then goes to defalt speed.

^I think he ment did the OLD webstie mention the backwards Racer. And I hope they do some retracking to The Racer because IMO lately it has been getting pretty rough. And as for the Backwards Racer, I never found it to be an enjoyable ride at all. Sure, it was fun not knowing where you're going, but it was always rough. When you're going, you're head is always launched into the next seat, not the headrest. Plus, the fact that the entire time you're restaints are pulling on your waist and your d*ck, ohh my it wasn't fun. I hope they turn it around, because than you'll have to fun rides instead of one fun and one hurtfull.

Phantom Theater: They're "Touching Up" as in removing rust, painting areas where the paint has chipped off, etc. And also, I think that there's room enough back there, It's just I don't know how they'll get us there, the walk to SoB and FD is long enough.
