I hope for everyone's sake he's remembering trips with his mother Sounds like a great time though. I'll always remember my childhood trips, looking back I think my dad was more scared than I was.

Just bought two tickets, see you all there.

Not that impressing, I like Cedar Fairs more traditional approach.

If they do go back with HB I for one would like to see it named the Hong Kong Phooey coaster.

It would aslo kinda silly giving a coaster thats 7 years older than the orginal the grandson title.

Man I sure hope so, considering Manning has missed the first couple days of mini-camp. Nothing can be as dissapointing as the continuing upset of last years ND team though. That is who I'll be watching this year, that is if they manage to win more than one game this season. In all honesty Manning and company better feel the pressure to win with that new stadium. It cost me an extra penny on every dollar I drop around here.

Thanks everybody for the wonderful compliments, we really do have a great time wherever it is the four of us go. For instance instead of just vacationing on the beach in FL three years ago we took the plunge and tied the knot with a sunset wedding. "You only live life once" the old saying goes so never be affraid to have a good time.

After the park we traveled to Dayton to avoid a longer drive in the morning, which worked out well. We got to the show a little late but in plenty of time to get a good spot. We purchased the family pack which was a great deal at 70.00 it came with admission 4 cans of Pepsi, 4 hot dogs, and a free program. First up was the Wright B Flyer Next up was the group known as the Collaborators Then some Apache flight time. Here is a B-25 demonstrating with the bomb doors open. Some F-16, and F-18 shots C-17 landing Streaks of black smoke from the GE engine of the F-104 Mig. F-22 Raptor which will also be the star for the Indianapolis Air Show this year. And a beutifull Heritage Flight a perfect show ender.

After four years, and several trips to Mount Comfrot's Indianapolis Air Show we went back to see Dayton put on a show. This time we had a little extra cargo. See last time my wife was pregnent with my son, and my daughter was'nt even a year old so she stayed with family. They got such a kick out of our show last year we decided they needed to see the real deal. Althogh it was not the show I recalled from my last visit, no pyro-tech, reanactments, and the harrier was there (best demo. ever). However nothing they did was dissapointing at all, quite a treat. Mount Comfort has a great show too, the only down fall is the fact there is only one jet demo. at the end, and they fly in from miles away due to the shorter run way. Each of the two have their own Pro's and Con's though, could not believe no coolers allowed at Dayton's, also no cannopy's allowed. Now mabye this is due to problems in the past, but both of these things are still widley used at Mount Comfort. Other than leaving our cooler at the gate all day we had a great time, and also had a great time at Kings Island. So here is some pics from it all. This one turned out great but mabye not so well on here, it's a pic of a pic. (scanner down) Some pictures from the ET :Note to theives: I'm always watching We also went and rode Scrambler, Viking Ship, and Monster before heading to Nick U. After a family ride on Scooby Doo we agreed to retreat, and threw some pennies in the fountains. See my next post for the Air Show pics.

Nice pictures and report, you captured this event like a true pro. Dayton really knows their air shows. My family and I had a really good time, and plan on making this one an anuall event.

There's been a couple times this year were I'm like "please honey just one more ride on Son of Beast" But usualy I'm thinking about renting a wheel chair just to make it to the car.

Actually you might think I was trying to kidnap my own 4 year old sometimes when it's time to go. No one has stepped in so far. ( I never wanted to leave either when I was a young one )

Actually I pride myself in being a responsible parent, something that I got from my parents.

I always enjoyed those spur of the moment trips to. I've also been to that traffic court a few times always lucky enough to not have a cop show up though. As for the front seat thing unless they tell me where to sit I'm in the front seat. I think it enhances the ride 100%

Were leaving soon the most recent forecast for Mason sais showers should stop around 3:00. With a chance of storms at 7:00 and partly sunny at 8:00. They had the same chance for storms monday we went and had a great dry day. It seems as though they have already got the drenching today. Wish us luck.

There aint no cure for the summertime blues.

The Beast is lurking I wonder if Speigel thought this was gonna be a dive coaster? Get ready to smile See you Friday, goobye for now

Played hooky from work, went to KI. Nice daily scaping To the person who said the Coke bottle was gone. Hate to do this to ya. Invertigo Drop Tower short but possibly the best flat in the park. Somebody paint me people are losing intrest. Food is not the only way to get nickels "build it over something and they will throw change" Swinging in the breeze We wern't the only ones gettin hungry. Now against my better judgement. {[!!! My Opinion Only !!!]} Probably a Dive coaster/machine. They have flattend out a large area. Also note this could be a record breaking dive into the ravine. The only reason so far it might not be is wouldn't they want a veiwing area around a dive like this? Oh well we'll see here real soon. Judge for your self. next post.

Pretty neat, just hope I can make it. Heres mine

I remember those failed park plans for Plainfield. It was going to have a Garfield the cat theme. What a let down.

Some stadiums are built more for the city and not just for the team. Like hopes of hosting a Super Bowl cough 2012. Also as in most contracts for projects this size local contarctors are used which stimulates the city's economy.

2 hrs!! so not worth it (to me at least) I would rather ride The Racer 24 times

The closest we came with this with our new stadium was from a bean company I could imagine though 49er fans can't be happy with this lenghthy delay.

At CP we got $2 off for having a platinum pass. Is this a perk at KI?

I'm going wiyh a western theme mabye Vigilante or Showdown.
