Beast1979

So you are mad at Cedar Not Fair and are now boycotting Six Flags? Interesting....

Ahh The next time I visit Nick U is when the Nickelodeon Garbage is Gone.

I believe though, that the said coaster is actually Ghostrider from Knotts Berry Farm. I could be mistaken though.

Meanwhile, we get Coney Mall and Action Zone!

You would beaver. I've said it before, the only good part on Son of Beast is the 214 foot drop. Moving On!

You might be a KI addict if you can close your eyes and walk through Kings Island in your head. Guilty

Morning ERT on Diamondback sounds amazing. I remember going to the park one morning at the rope drop and going over to Vortex, Sitting in 7-1, and on the first drop, HELLO! Talk about a wake up! Imagine Diamondbacks first drop! What really has me anxious is the ERT on the other major Roller Coaster, I actually do NOT want it to be on The Beast because not only does it have short lines all day long, but also it gives better rides later in the day. I would prefer it be on rides with normally long lines like Firehawk, Invertigo, or, Flight of Fear! With all of the crowds most definately at Diamondback not only during ERT but for Regular operation, I can tell 2009 is going to be an AMAZING YEAR!

Ahem, I think it is the FIRST LIM launched Coaster!

Is today the "Remember when" day? I want to join in! That pic above actually has grass out back behind the Crypt! I hope they replant it.

I can't say anything about it besides that it looks real, real, awesome.

Update with an interesting perspective:

I'm still puzzled on how that silly "Coaster for 2009" rumor came along!

What was it Cedar Fair Payed for the Paramount Chain? 1.25 Billion for KI, Carowinds, KD, KBF, CW?

That stitch together is absolutely amazing. This ride truely towers over everything, none of the concept artworks do justice to how this penatrates the skyline in a simply fantastic way! Even the 1st helix is giant!

CoastersRZ: Since all thats left is the smaller sized helix does that mean that Clifford's job is done?

I believe it does a few quick S turns, similar to what it does in the police car Scene after the Helix.

^View from a few days ago showing the helix for the most part done The gap with the MCBS is now filled. (And I can prove it! )

Testing should begin in March. http://www.kiDiamondback.com/public/latest...22-12401a5b1afa

Unless I'm a forgetful child, I've heard on this board many times that it was done to save money. Whether thats true or not, I do not know. But I do believe that some people on here have some credibility. So it's not like I'm going out there and making a blind post. Granted, I did not word it well at all and made it sound like a definitive fact, which I have a problem with. (Oh, By The Way, you should know that teaching works better then yelling! Just sos ya know) And it seems that people on this board are getting very picky and irritable lately. If there was 5 strait days of 20 degree weather and I said the snow would probably accumulate I would probably get flamed for it because I "Did not know that for sure". I think it's the offseason that does it, during the reg. season people are a lot more fun. I'm not trying to start or continue a fight, I want to end one.

Will they have the gates open and waiting for us 15 minutes or so before the event? What will we have to bring to get in, since this is all online?

2008 = Stellar Special Events 2009 = Diamondback and Perks
