Thats cool it was a good day. I went yesterday, and rode nothing. The lines and crowds were horrendous. Vortex line was totally full and was backed up past Troika. FOFs queue was full and had line stretching out the entrance. For the first time ever I saw IJST and Delirium queues totally full - with lines stretching out both.

Yeah its for GLBT people as well as frends of GLBT people. I worked at the event last year and it was a blast. I'd go but its like over 40 bucks - and I'm saving up for my Maxx pass.

I thought shorts/pants had to be worn on all rides at Kings Island. I have had some strange happenings at Flight of Fear as well as other places around the park.

The KKKI? Kwazy Klan of Kings Island? I believe a member of the KKKI was once a contestant on the Kwazy Kwiz Shaux. -
what is the new ride for next season?
TheKlockster replied to rollerocasterfreak's topic in Coming Attractions
Hilarious! I wonder if theyll change the FOF Preshow. Richard Christopher: "Pleeeeeeeease... Dick (Kinzel)" -
Yeah Scrambler always ends up coming out in September. In September they have GE day and P&G day and Pride Night. Pride night actually is open to the public but you have to buy tickets through their organization. Season passes are not valid for it.

Or rather cast in Fiberglass and Steel. -

That Delirium thing looks like it would be EXTREMELY expensive - and not all that fun/thrilling. The only place at Kings Island in which it would blend in is the water park. -

So that is why you claim to know what we are getting? A tilt coaster??? A dive machine??? A topple tower called Jump 2??? -
Publix isn't that expensive! I NEVER shop at Kroger. Publix is more expensive than some - but I wouldn't say its more expensive than Kroger unless they have changed alot since the last time I was down there. I know Kroger charges more for everything - then says if you have their plus card - you can get charged regular price. Or you could just go shop somewhere else, which is what I do. Can you buy a KK pass at any Kroger - or just the ones around Louisville?

They are about as in debt as Six Flags is - but has a plan, and the means to get out. -

Yeah its always a tossup between RoS and M Force for #1. Best solution - buy out the park that owns RoS! -
Except Valleyfair! is like 10 hours away or something. I don't know for sure - but I have been through Minneapolis twice - and it is FAR.
-
I have said all along this is going to be another Colossus type coaster. Breaking the record inversions. Right now it is 10 inversions. This could be 12 or something. From that photo - I see 4 inversions. So I dunno. It looks like a regular roller coaster - which is nice and something they need. Where do you get the idea about short trains? That thing on the lift hill is part of the roof of the building behind it.

How many times did you visit the park this season?
TheKlockster replied to BoddaH1994's topic in KI Polls
Wow I think you've been more times than me - and I even worked there for part of the year! -
In my experience 42 used to be the smoothest on Son of Beast back in the days of 6 car trains. When I rode Blue Streak I sat in the last seat - on a wheel, in the back of the train.

An Admissions Tax For Kings Island & The Beach?
TheKlockster replied to The Interpreter's topic in Kings Island
I'm not saying I agree with it - just that they are in it for the money. -
An Admissions Tax For Kings Island & The Beach?
TheKlockster replied to The Interpreter's topic in Kings Island
As sad as that sounds - I don't think they would really care. They want to get money in any way they can. -
Ive only been on Blue Streak once - and it was opening day - at like 9:30 pm. It has crazy airtime - and it flies. Only problem is that it is far more rough than even Beast or Son of Beast.
-
Yeah and so is Face/Off.
-
I thought the track was for a brake run too but it is really weird. If you look at what appears to be the station, there is straight track coming out of both ends. One end has 2 tube track - and due to the banking and the downward sloping - I believe it to be the brake run. It would be the end going toward Skyhawk. The other end has the three tube track - and it goes straight out toward the lake then peels off real sharp to the right. Kind of reminds me of Italian Job or Rita: Queen of Speed. The fact that it is 3 tube track shows that it can't be hydraulically launched - though it could be LIM launched.

TheKlockster replied to Mr.Son of Beast's topic in Coming Attractions
That would be SOOOOOOOOO awesome! A Snoopy coaster!!!!! -
Glad you got to ride the Intarides. See you had nothing to worry about!

For some reason it reminds me of Aces and Eights.
