^Really? I didn't know that. You learn something new everyday, i guess!

I can't say much for The Bat, but Flight Deck is to short. The Bat had like, 4,000 feet of track. Plus, Flight Deck is you're everyday Arrow Suspended coaster. The Bat was first of it's kind.

I have never been on a stand-up coaster before, and I hope for that to change during "CoasterMania" this year. The King Cobra, from what I've heared, was a nightmare to maintain. In 2001 it was listed for sale, but no one bought it. The peices and trains are now housed somewhere in the feilds outside the FoF Dome, for further location details check Virtual Earth, and go to Birds Eye. CoasterImage has some photo's of the track out in the field, it's rusted and crumbling, in no condition to run. King Cobra is history.

I don't think it would have gotten front page publicity, but I don't think it would go unnoticed.

Looks like it's running well!

I personally found Double Loop to be a fairly smooth Arrow ride, especially for there earlier ones.

There's Something I can Agree With! IMO I don't think it's a smart Idea to turn the trains backward if the manufacturer does not recommend or approve doing so. I bet they did test runs to make sure that it wouldn't kill people, but If I were maneger or whatever if the manufacturer doesn't approve, then neither do I.

^Welcome, Beast! My names Beast. Err... wait. Yes, no ride on The Beast is complete without an after dark remach.

To reinstall all of the origional Racer in one offseason would be to much to soon probably. I would do little by little, on season reverse the backwards train, then reinstall the last bunny hill, then take off the trims, ect. ect.. I can seewhat there going for, but to do it all, especially on you're second offseason under management, would be rediculous.

The Beaver Land Mine Train is NOT going to Kings Island. Anything that is going to another Cedar Fair park has been moved. Hell, Dominator is just about to open. Everything else for Geauga Lake is being auctioned off. Everything from the rides to the land itself. Including the Beaver Land Mine Train. Sure, it's fun to play around, but If it were added to Kings Island, they would have announced that coaster number 15 is being added. I don't see why they wouldn't. As for Head Spin at Kings Dominion, it's anyones guess. As for it being fashioned with Lap Bars, I think that would be a great change.

^ehh, he'll touch the subject. It depends on who's involved here.

^LOL! Ya, this is just going to be a commercial. "I'm going to ride The Racer!" (*Bunch of statistics proving why you should ride it*) "Woa! Wow! Ohh, big drop, woa!" "That was a blast! I really recomend this, it's an awesome ride!"

Neon: It's 1983-2007. And Gorden, See my last post!

The weather is beccoming "Coaster Weather" (as I call it) almost every day. I love it! I havent gotten the chance to see the commercial yet, but knowing Kings Island they'll show it several times.

First off, let me just say that I adore Villain and SoB. It gives you the "Out of Control, gonna die" feeling that really thrills me. I hate to point out coasters, or even rides, that I dislike. If I don't like a ride I get off and say, "well, I don't really like that one." And I just don't ride it. But if I must then I must. I really don't prefer Flight of Fear. It is a fun ride, but it gets real old to fast. Something you ride once and don't ride again till you forget what happens on the ride.

Publicity stunts don't always get the publicity there looking for. . . . . . .

Depends on if they need to have it open. If they have an almost empty train on both sides, why bother?

BEAST!

I can't help myself. I'm a KI addict.

Yes. Beast, who just HAD to...

The entire "Racer Backwards goes Forwards" thing was set up for negative comments to start with!

^Which makes me question the "To be consistant with other Cedar Fair Parks" bull.

There was a guy on there and commented and said: It's those kind of people who make me sick.

I wasn't being a mod, I'm just saying that if you edit post people will yell at you!

Very interesting word choice, KI Man!
