KI 7/19
Making children cry and riding KI's Dodge 'Ems are both things that I would be ashamed to admit!

The WHIO report says all of the injured have been released, thank God.

Favorite ride at Cedar Point.
For some reason, our ride count never contains B&M's unless Raptor is a walk on and I have to listen to my kids make fun of the fact that it is covered in bird dung........

Does the threat of terrorism deter you from attending parks?
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/29/opinion/sunday/terrorist-plots-helped-along-by-the-fbi.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 Here is an interesting piece from the New York Times. The danger of being killed in a terrorist attack is very, very small.

Throwback: (P)KIcentral's Tribute to the 2004 Season
The "American Idiot" album is that old? Those little kids I took to KI while we listened to it are teenagers? Where does the time go?

Worst Job At Kings Island
I think that keyhole photo photographers at the entrance have to be miserable standing on that hot pavement for hours directly in the sun.

GateKeeper Restraints
It does make your collar bones hurt! It is so slow that it does not generate enough positive G's in the inversions to hold you in the seat and, as a result, dumps your shoulders into the restraint while you are inverted. If it's a "family ride," my family said, "We got the credit, now let's go ride something good."

Six Flags Great Adventure tips
Skip Superman Ultimate Blight and that horrible Skull Mountain thing. Their Mine Train is very good, as is KA. Nitro and Bizarro are two B&M's that did not put me to sleep and their indoor wild mouse is interesting..... If you ride El Toro, prepare yourself for ride ops who staple you to the point that you have visible bruises for a week!

Since Shoot the Rapids is such a bad ride, which B&M water rides do you like better?

The Ride Process
The best part is riding a good ride. After Cedar Fair teased WindSeeker and Dinosaurs Alive as thrill rides, I reserve judgment until I have ridden the new ride.

Dayton Air Show Crash
I was at the show in 2007 when Jim Leroy was killed. My prayers are with the families of the two victims and all those suffering as a result of today's events.

Cedar point Meanstreak lives up to it's name
Mean Streak is overly-trimmed, slow, and forceless, but not rough.

Baby born in Firehawk's line?
There would have been an ambulance, the queue would have been cleared, and it would have made the news. Fake story!

Least Favorite Ride?
"Ever ride Tornado at Stricker's Grove in the very back?..." Yes, I enjoy Tornado, especially in the back! As for my least favorites, I have to go with Superman: Ultimate Flight at Great Adventure and Vortex at Carowinds, for steel coasters. Both are short, forceless and ungodly boring. As for wooden coasters, Mean Streak, hands down! I'm not a fan of trimming rides until they feel like someone needs to get out and push.
