  1. ^ SOB isn't that rough. I rode SOB yesterday. It was the first time I can remember riding it since the loop was removed. It was AWESOME! I LOVED IT! If people who ride it are crazy, I'm INSANE! I LOVE SOB!
  2. ^ Oh Yea! I got my first ride on SOB since I can remember! It Was AWESOME!
  3. ^ True, Very True.
  4. ^ You Really don't want to buy a ride with a history like that!
  5. KD's Gyro Drop has a bigger Drop but KI's is Higher. You Decide!
  6. PKI screwed up when they made SOB.
  7. Tonight I'm going to KI. YEA! Anyway Any tips? This is my first real FearFest, err, Halloween Haunt trip. What rides have long lines, what Haunt areas are coolest, things like that. Tips are Nice! Thanks!
  8. So they brought in a crane for a motherboard? Interesting. With all due respect to KI Man, chalk up the broken motherboard theory to a dippin dots guy's opinion, its just a rumor hes heard circulating around through the employees, he works in games. Tomb Raider had a bad board in the audio/show system earlier this summer which was why the show was not running for a while. The issue now is mechanical. Everyone's an expert. I miss the days of riding in the delorean to skyline... Let's play how many quotes we can build up! On a side note, or just a note, take your pick: The ride is sinking rumors have been going on longer than Magnum. I had heard that the lost river at Coney really took you under the Ohio river. One day it was closed and an employee was saying that there was a sink hole and the Ohio river was flooding the tunnel. And one more random topic. If we get a bunch of rides from GL, would that mean that we would have a lake in the middle of an island? Well just a thought, and keep building up the quote tree!!!! I counted 7. I make 8. I think every ride in the park will suffer from sinking syndrome eventualy (a.k.a. Magnum's Desiese). Vortex is first in line!

    eek! Top gun!

    ^ One of the most efficient rides in the park. TG stays! Now for that firewood next to it...
  10. ^ What the H*ll is GTC? Are you refering to these: http://www.screamscape.com/html/ki_-_general_0.htm
  11. Vortex Isn't Bumpy! I can't remember the last time I rode an Arrow Loop that was Bumpy. There a little jerky.
  12. ^ I love those books. Especialy how they describe KI from 1995.
  13. ^ The perfect eliptic loops look cool. Escpecialy from the ground. The entire look of The Vortex is just majestic, a roller coaster masterpiece. I can't help but just look at it, take pics', try to slap hands on the boomerang, hug the support sticking out to the midway, (I know how nerdy this sounds, I know I'm obsesed.) I just love the entire experience. Long live Vortex!
  14. Looks to me like an S&S Sky Swat. I've never been on one, but they look insane. One of those would be one hell of an addition to X-Base. You Becha'!

    eek! Top gun!

    Top Gun never lets up with it's insane speed. It is one of the most fun rides on the park.
  16. ^ El Toro's AWESOME!

    eek! Top gun!

    The longest wait I've ever had on TG was 10 minutes. I know that it stops automaticly, because there are 3 types of blocks. Station, Block Brakes, Chain lift. If the next block after the Chain is not cleared, then it stops and waits untill it's cleared. TG has air brakes to stop it, and it goes like, 45 miles an hour going into the brakes. I swear, every time I ride it I can easily imagine the brakes malfunctioning, and crashing through the station. I hope that never happens.
  18. Didn't R.L. Stien write a book or 2 on the subject? The Beast. Wow. WAIT: Doesn't EVERY park have their own ghost stories?

    eek! Top gun!

    Top Gun has low ridership, wearing chainlift, rust, and a butt ugly pain job. BUT, I doubt it will get removed. MY PREDICTION: In the 2007-2008 offseason, Top Gun will get a new paint job, and a little touch-up. In the 2008-2009 offseason, Top Gun will get a major overhawl. It will again be one of the best rides at KI!
  20. I SERIOUSLY doubt we will get Villian, or any other coaster next year. DUHH. The question is, when will we get another coaster, and what will it be like. Any guess is a good guess?
  21. Flat rides and BB expansion for 2008.
  22. What do Waffle House drunks have anything to do with KI, or TR:TR? GETING BACK ON TOPIC: This is how I see it: TR:TR is an amazingly fun ride. Yet, being a Huss Top Spin, it is doomed to awesome down-time. TR:TR has many working parts and electronics, which makes it doomed to even MORE down-time. TR:TR has been down for a long time, with a broke motherbord. It costs a LOT of money to fix it, and it will take a while to fix it. They are also taking the theming out. I think they should fix it for good, and give it a mystery mine theme, going along with the Rivertown theme. We'll just have to wait and see.
  23. ^ Yea, seriously! Every other park has announced their plans, why haven't we?
  24. ^ KI needs flats! There, i said it!
  25. ^ Which keeps you occupied in the wait!
