If you are tall, ride in 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, 6-1, or 7-1 on Vortex. Any other seat will be downright brutal. Back on topic, I've never gotten a walk of shame on any ride yet. I'm 6'3'' and 280lbs. I have muscles, not all fat.

1. Trim brakes on Flight of Fear and The Beast. These are the two worst rides in the entire park when it comes to trims, IMO. 2. Basketballs- give it to the winner deflated. It drives me absolutely insane when someone repeatedly bounces a basketball. Also, when people throw said basketballs. I nearly got hit by one earlier on in the season and if one hits me, I'm tempted to pop the daggone thing. 3. Spitting on rides- this has happened to me twice this year, on the same ride go figure. If I see who did it- me, you, and KI security will be having a nice talk. Okay, I'm done now.

The Crypt gets my vote. It looked so cool when it was TR:TR, but we have none of that theming now and it downright sucks.

You could try taking the auto ferry from Augusta over to Brown County, or take KY 8 up and hit US 68 at the Harsha Bridge connecting Maysville to Aberdeen a few miles downstream.

I think someone needs to take a break! Andrew, he'll be here all week folks!

Thanks Diamondback FOF and Indianapolisman for the well wishes. He's been in the hospital off and on for the last couple months now. He is currently taking dialysis three or four days a week, and the doctor says even with dialysis that he could be gone in two or three months. Right now I am hoping for the best and praying for him every night before I go to bed.

^ I went out today after I got off work at 2. Started off with The Beast, and got an emergency call that my grandfather is being moved to Hospice, so I ended up only getting one ride in and that was on The Beast. Going to try again on Wednesday with some buddies from work, if everything is fine.

I haven't been to The Beach in about 5 years or so and I have never been to Boomerang Bay, even though I have a Gold Pass. The Beach was a lot of fun when I went before, especially the wave pool. It's definately worth checking out.

Thanks for sharing your PTR with us Sean! I haven't been out to Kings Island since last Sunday June 7, and that box full of cell phones wasn't there then. Way to go KI! Also, it saddens me that five people were line jumping while the security guard was checking his watch. Something needs to be done. And about that crane near Outer Hanks and Slingshot, it reminds me of a comment seen on here: "Bring in the cranes!" Yo enjoy-o trip report-o.

I think I've only blacked out on one ride, now that I come to think of it. I rode Invertigo a few weeks back and I seriously do not remember going through the loop. That being said, I think I did lose some brain matter because I'm crazy and stupid now more than I ever have been. Andrew, telling the truth.

This is off topic, but I consider it to be a little thing that I noticed: On the Kings Island page on Facebook, they say Diamondback has nearly given 500,000 rides so far this season!

Angie will just love it if Chaos somehow comes to Kings Island! Green is a good color for you Angie! Andrew, shutting up now.

As I stated in my 6/7 TR, I finally got the chance to ride The Crypt with the new program. The last time I rode The Crypt before this visit was last June. It was thrilling and had many fun inversions. The new ride, not so much. Swinging back and forth in an upright position and two inversions. Lame-O!

So you passed a 3 car pile-up on I-75 and a frietruck taking up two lanes? May I ask what restaurant these fries were going to? Andrew, just funnin' ya.

When going up the lift hills on Diamondback and Son of Beast, look towards the tennis center on the other side of I-71 and you'll see 700 WLW's diamond-shaped antenna.

Trepy....oops Terpy strikes again! Andrew, running for his mommy.

The only thing that I remember missing most about Paramount, and it's already been stated here a few times: The Top Gun music at closing time.

Thanks for sharing, glad you had a fun time. I'm already starting to have Diamondback withdrawals and I was just there Sunday!

Level 5 for me.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like you had a fun time!

Dick Kinzel: "Thank you for listening to my presentation, now give me all of your nickels!"

If you watched the video- look at the graphic Channel 5 used for their #5 pick and the full-screen graphic, they used a picture of Son of Beast with the loop. They need to update their picture, and yes MarketingExpress- Channel 5 is digging up a story like they usually do.

Nice TR....thanks for sharing Angie! I've never been to Cedar Point and I'll definately have to check it out soon- I want to so bad!
