I don't think I ever rode it before it was converted to smurfs, I do remember my father saying "the smurf's used to be a big TV..." I am thinking my first visit to KI must have been 1983 or 1984 because The Bat was still standing.

Do you know if they are opening the whole park this year or is the section with the Twisted Twins and Mile High Falls going to be closed again for 2009?

Are you from Lexington?

You can't see the webcam on the all mighty ipod? It works nicely in pocket internet explorer on my 2 year old winmo 5.0 phone, even better using skyfire. no flash support on apple products. same on my iphone...

ha ha "Night Row" again. Aaron who is no longer quite as confused by Terpy's riddles.

Why don't they just paint it black and red, forget the jet theme and make it a sequel to The Bat. It would keep with their retro theme. "Something old is even older...again..."

we have something like that in Georgetown ky. it just has a couple slides and a lazy river so it is smaller scale, but it is city owned.

I just read that article over at Screamscape suggesting that Premier rides some how electronically shut down Maximum RPM and Slippery When Wet over nonpayment. That is interesting on several levels if that is actually true.

4. Flight Deck to get a new paint job I agree. Skip the whole jet fighter theme since we can't call it Top Gun anymore. Paint it red and black and retheme it as a sequel to The Bat. That would be a "cheap," "new" ride.

Her work said that they could be used anytime and they are $22.95. We are buying some to use next weekend, but the people we are going with might cancel and we are just wondering if we could use them when we go back up in October.

My wife can buy discounted KI tickets through her work. Will those also be good for Halloween Haunt or will we have to buy tickets at the park?

Holiday World's woodies are awesome. I would have to give the woodie trophy to them just because all three are home runs. I love The Beast and racer, Son of Beast is unique and fun but a little too rough. Raven, Legend and Voyage are three of the finest Woodies out there and are all one one fantastic little park. I do love both parks though. They are just two very different places.

Well Fairly Odd Coaster is the stupidist name I know for a coaster, so almost anything would be better in my opinion. I would love to see it go back to either Beastie or even Scooby Doo, but I'll take GOB over the current name.

Thank you. very informative.

I know that in the early years The Beast station was surrounded by water. Exactly when and why was the water removed? just curious...
