The front seat of the blue train provided a great ride. Sadly, that's a very small fraction of the seating capacity. Other seats weren't rough enough to injure me, but pretty rough. I think a notice should be posted or something when it re-opens.

SOB! The coaster with only one ridable seat, front row of the blue train!

Can't believe this topic is still alive over a year later.. CRAZY! I had no idea they were displaying the screen electronically, but I don't think they would try to jack the price up on busy days, as SOMEONE would notice and if the news got ahold of the info KI food service would look very bad. I agree that lowering the prices would likely increase the demand for food, but KI sets those prices for a reason. They must maximize their total revenue by charging ridiculously high prices.

I am not afraid of heights at all, I am afraid of the unknown though. My first ride on the outer limits Flight of Fear scared the crap outta me because I couldn't see where I was going or what would happen. Being dropped unexpectantly (drop zone) is another one haha.

"and SOB really hurts me so I choose not to ride it anywhere other than the front seat of the blue train." HAHAHA me too I thought I was the only one who made up stories to wait for the blue train front seat. that red train had a square wheel or something

If one ride HAS to be replaced I wouldn't mind seeing Crypt go. Rotating in a box isn't much fun. But why remove a ride for the sake of removing it? If land can be developed, clear that first.

I agree with Mike I do not understand why they are converting it to the Peanuts. Kids these days will not know who the characters are since the Peanuts are not on TV (at least to my knowledge). I wonder why they didn't go back to hanna barbara?

Wow, to be honest that surprises me. The people I was with at Cedar Point said the Mantis was better and KC was "lame". I also had NO IDEA that Manhattan Express was a TOGO. haha I rode that in Vegas and looked in Pain on the ride photo it was so rough. So is the TOGO in Kings Domain similar to KC?

Well guys, i lost my Cedar Point virginity and rode manits while i was there. My question is between the defunct king cobra and mantis, which did you prefer and why? I believe the mantis was a B&M and was a fun stand up coaster. i've never been on one before and am curious if you guys thought King Cobra topped it and why

I think it would be fun to write out trip reports of what we would each do if you say yes. I would head straight to skyride to view the park in sceenic splendor. I'd ride King Cobra then (which I sadly never did experience as I was scared for a long time). I'd then stroll into rivertown and would view those beast pawprints and see the line outside the entrance! As I stand outside waiting for The Beast(completely untamed and the kingpin attraction it was) I would look in awe at the lift hill of KCKC, standing proud above the Wild thornberrys crap as the center of rivertown. After a wild ride on the legendary beast (no trim brakes thank you) I would ride KCKC 10 times because(as shown by my avatar) I miss it so much. Then I'd ride wheel of fortune which I never got to see. Ride the Ohio Overland Auto Livery to coney to ride the crazy Zodiac. Enchanted Voyage would be next which I never got to see. Enjoying the gourmet food they used to have.. ahh. What would you do?

If admission price was $200 for one day's admission, but you could ride all defunct attractions again as much as you wanted for that one day... Would you pay the price? It would also include visiting old stores and eating at old resaurants. The thought came to mind and I personally would take the offer for a day. Save up and relieve those memories... Would you?

Start feeling sorry for me, I work train and sit next to a speaker in Boomerang Bay. But it's the cake job in the park as all we have to do is talk to people and open gates!

How about a Cedar Fair name! "Giant metal hypercoster"

I heard recently that the new roller coaster will go straight through Crypt. So does anyone know for sure if Crypt will be dead next year? I believe it and doubt it at the same time. It was kinda a flop for KI in a way due to last year and the lack of scenary/lighting/effects. But I thought CF was against ripping out existing attractions for new ones. Any input?

Actually they changed it this year, to ride the flume you must be at least 36" tall.

I've only been to two parks (KI and Geuaga Lake) so I'm going to have to say Geuaga Lake as everything just seemed sloppier than KI. I hope to hit up Hersheypark soon!

If soft drinks and other sweetened drinks did not exist, our obesity rate would be much lower. You have no idea. I've researched this stuff. The High Fructose Corn Syrup abundant in soft drinks blocks the enzymes in you body that make you feel full on top of the empty calories causing massive body fat gain. Even ice cream sundaes makes you feel full and don't cause additional hunger. not to mention that you are downing chemicals and massive amounts of sugar! Do yourself a favor and read up on that stuff

I agree 100%! Soft drinks are the #1 worst thing for you, why not enjoy free water??? I even turned down free pop at a company picnic today. Obesity in the US is an epidemic, affecting 2/3 of our population!

Gordon, um yeah there are. I distinctly remember feeling a big slow down on that flat area before you dip to the right.

They DID add new brakes to that "tunnel straightaway" on Beast

My 1st coaster: Scooby Zoom(92') My 1st flat: Pixie &Dixie swings (also 92' now known as backyardigans) My 1st water ride: Kentons Cove Keelboat Canal (92') 1st Dark Ride: Phantom Theatre (95'-My parents thought it was too scary when I was really little)

Down under thunder does suck, I almost got stuck on it (I weigh 145lbs) and coolangetta racer is my favorite due to being able to soar 50ft along the surface in the bottom trough. Tasmanian Typhoon, the Wavepool, crocodile run, and both tube slides deserve honorable mentions.

The only decision I see as completely bone-headed was removing the Flying Eagles for a.....drumroll.. BASKETBALL GAME? WHat the hell was that for? Puh-leeze

Yeah, the next time the skys are dark yet there is no chance of thunder or lightning, I'd highly recommend enjoying the walk-on spectacular.

Well, my friend and I arrived in Boomerag Bay around opening(11am). The rain was coming down rather hard, but without thunder or lightning. It had to have been some of the most fun I'd had in quite a while!! We rode a total of 21 rides in 1.5 hours!!! We started off on the Tasmanian Typhoon since I had never ridden it. The ride itself was a little short but def not worth missing! I liked the waterfall at the top before you go into the dark tunnel, then the rushing drop into the funnel. We tried to gain as much speed as possible and really got high swings in the funnel! We spent a little while in the wave pool, fun as usual. The down under thunder slide (4 blue winding ones) had to be the worst ride of the day. I almost got stuck! (At 145lbs thank you!). Water was building up behind me partway through but my friend said I rode it incorrectly with my arms behind my head. The highlight of the day HAD to be the Coolangetta Racer. I feel so foolish about complaining about the fast tracks being removed now. We rode it a total of 12 times! Our first run, my friend won by picking the faster side (3) but what was interesting was how we performed after the final drop into the bottom trough. My friend burried the front of his mat kinda like the Wild Thornberry's log flume burries it's nose after the final drop, and ate water coming to a quick stop. I inadvertantly pulled back a little as I didn't want to eat a bunch of water and I soared along the surface a good 50 feet kind of like a Hydroflume(KCKC)! I got serious airtime as I soared and it was really an adrenaline rush! We got off our mats and out a good 40 feet apart! We had SO much fun having competitions to see who could go the fastest, the slowest, who could travel the least distance(bury the front), or who could fly along the surface the farthest(speedboat). He ended up winning 10/12 races but I was the undisputed master of distance in the trough! We also hit the Banzi Pipline or whatever, which burned our backs and was just a short rush. The sidney sidwinder and snowy river rampage were fun also. The sidney sidwinder was fairly calm, while the snowy river rampage (bigger tube) was bumpier. We had such a great time, and if another rainy day (without thunder or lightning of course) I'd seriously consider making a trip to boomerang bay! Everything was a walk-on!! We were plenty warm and comfortable also. The Coolangetta racers got the prize of the day, and I think you guys would really enjoy trying to manipulate your speed and landing like we did!!
