In matters like the present project at KI, I've always looked at Screamscape as a providing information about what is happening on the internet, as opposed to what is happening in the park.

If we are discussing a B&M, interest in watching grass grow seems very appropriate!

Because speculating over an unverifiable claim that Intamin track was seen barreling down I-71 was old and busted and this is the new hotness. Don't know if its relevant but I saw some green coaster track the other day round Wilmington. It will be relevant just as soon as we clarify that you are not simply an extension of the Big Sexy and Ron gang. Back in 2007, there was actually video of Intamin track on I71!

Is his name Ron?Terp, who likes to ask questions. Doubtful! "Ron" is most likely too busy at the Dippin Dots stand....

CF is still happy that they eliminated a competitor, which was always their plan.... Now there's only one competitor left, Action Zone has been dismantled, The Crypt is gone, Vortex, Flight Deck, The Racer (like Raging Wolf Bobs) and Adventure Express are on their last legs......... And, as many people have posted on this very site, Soak City could be a stand alone park........

That's not what Fast Lane is. Fast Lane is the equivalent of you buying a seat for a Bengals game, showing up for the game, and having an usher remove you from the seat, giving that seat to someone else, and telling you, "That guy slipped my a $50 for your seat, try again next week."

I love the fanboys who blindly regurgitate the park's talking points. My solution to the whole nickel and dime approach that CF has adopted is very simple. I assume that anything and everything the park wants people to spend money on is a rip-off, therefore, I do not spend one red cent inside the park.

Here it is!

Flight Commander was fun, unless the rider happened to be very, very drunk.

Unless your family happens to like roller coasters, or museums, or fishing, etc.....

Kings Island was quite the magical place to a small child in the 70s.....

If you think it's a "waste" to walk to Flight Deck, then don't walk to Flight Deck. Simple, no?

I feel that there is a certain aurora about your posts, but I may turn out to be all wet.

I drove a Pinto... And a '74 Delta 88... And a '79 Grand Prix that had the stock 305 replaced with a 350... Yes, I'm lucky to be alive!

Gatekeeper is a parking lot coaster!!! Kingda Ka has grass under it, and a phenomenal parking lot view on the way down.......See also Steel Force and Afterburn. --Beatle, avoiding any discussion of Indiana Beach.

I'm amazed that we are almost a full month into 2013 and this is the first "Tower Johnny" thread of the year!

Childhood memories.... Thank you!

I have ridden roller coasters for over 40 years. Unless a "vibration" creates a danger to the passengers, there is no need to "fix" it. In the 70's and 80's people rode The Racer and The Beast in their original form, wound up with visible bruises, and said, "That was awesome!"

Of course Cedar Fair had nothing but the best of intentions when they bought the nearest competitor of their flagship park then almost immediately destroyed it, while lying the entire time...... Nothing suspicious there......

Time to re-open the investigation into how Will died so young, seeing as how there are now 32 million motives....

During the Constitutional Convention, Ben Franklin looked at sun on the back of Washington's chair and wondered if it was a rising sun or a setting sun. I now wonder if this looks like new construction or if it looks like the area formerly occupied by Steel Venom and X Flight during the 2007 season.

Cedar Fair is focused on Fast Lane profits........ And apparently there are at least two kids who would rather go fishing and go to Holiday World than stand in line waiting for the $50 dollar seat-stealers..... See you next year???????

Dorney Park is less than 10 hours away from Mason as well, as is a certain waterpark in Norteast Ohio.

Doesn't look like like any new B&M coasters are headed to KI for 2013. You must be happy about that... I'm happy every year that KI doesn't get the Geauga Lake treatment.

2013:
