I probably only went 25 times - compared to 90-100 last year.

Cedar Point is quite clean. I think at fewest there were like 10 trash cans within my sight - and at most I counted 27. But the park looks alot nicer. Plus all the cans have the same logo on them.

Aww thanks! I got my idea from Canobiefan from Canobiefan.com!

Kings Dominion has started taking delivery of Rubbermaids from what I hear...

Ill save some of that special candy for ya!

I do know who you are. And I don't know what we are getting next year - but I guarantee you that my stab in the dark is alot less foggier than yours.

Photo Trip Reports! Let the pictures speak for themselves!

Don't count on it.

I still don't think youll be seeing any new rides at Kings Island next year.

Well what CYoung said isn't really opinion - it is indeed fact.

Indeed. I can say with some certainty that I am the only person on this forum to have seen the track, as I live near the factory. There is nothing for Kings Island - which means no dive machine.

I was there July 7 - but didn't ride it as the park was fairly crowded. It appeared to be doing fine though. I did ride it like that Wednesday - or the Wednesday before that - and it was running very smooth.

I hope Couch reopens the flume and Screechin Eagle - to like people who stay in his camp ground. I will sooooo do it if he does!

Well keep in mind they had to run it for the investigation. Regardless of whether or not the ride ever reopens - the state was requring those parts of the ride to be rebuilt (under supervision) and the ride to be tested. Once testing is over the state can decide whether or not it is safe, the insurance companies can decide whether or not it is insurable, and Cedar Fair can decide whether or not to open it. I think it would reopen if they got green lights from both the insurance companies and the state. I certainly hope Son of Beast reopens. It is such an awesome ride - and I find Kings Island quite lacking without it...

Excellent Trip Report. You write some of the most informative reports out there!

Except Blue Streak. It is VERY rough.

LOL - they showed Sirocco! I would so ride that!

Yeah they usually have the lights off. I once rode Tomb Raider where they turned the lights on a few times during the ride. It really ruins it. I think they wrongfully suspected someone of taking on ride photography.

Very nice first-photo tr! Great job!

Don't know about that. I have just been watching the plant for a year and a half and have only seen B&Ms and stuff for the UC construction come out of there.

They do the Americas and Asia. The European ones are fabricated in Europe. Vekoma and Arrow was fabricated by Fabriweld in Clearfield Utah.

I just figured it out. That pic has BOTH coasters in it! There is a white/blue regular type coaster in the foreground. Then that track in the background that appears to be tall and narrow - look at the piece next to it. The background pieces are painted - DARK BLUE! It is BGE's dive machine!

Skyflyer associates - you may recognize them And now for an awesome Vortex night shot from 2005 (I know the date is wrong). I hope Son of Beast reopens - it is so much fun. But I think it might not. It just seems so uncertain. These photos were taken July 7 - two days before the accident happened. Except for The Vortex one - that was like last October - I just like it alot.

Indeed - near the doctors offices up at the hospital - and pratically across the street from Batavia High School. So weird theyre all made here. So what kind of track do you think that is? Look at that TALL spine in the middle piece.

And its not Busch Gardens Europe. Theirs is blue... This one's white!
