Need some Gold Bond for all that stretching homestar? There is truth to that though, Walt and Claude both worked for Giovanola, a company who supplied rides to Intamin, in particular, their stand ups and the ride formerly known as Flashback at SFMM, which have track that's identical to what B&M uses today.

I could actually see Kinzel doing that (more likely in Sandusky), but not Don.

^^Dippin' Dots employee confirmed.

Swarm at Thrope Park has a color that isn't too far off from that grey track. That might be the final color.

From what I remember going there, they keep the unpainted track on the side of the building, not out front.

^Not to mention, at minimum, the 3rd longest in the world.

If Kings Island is getting rid of the slight variety of food they do have (the one thing kind of going for the food department), then the food department will be in even worse shape than I thought. I think its time for a complete overhaul in the food department.

Could we try to avoid using Wikipedia as a source?

^Slacker. silver2005, avoiding 1 word posts.

So jdawg- any luck on finding your music? Or is there a 2x4 somewhere split in half?

Well, saxophones make everything better, obviously. Also....sigh.....

Don't forget Hershey or Blackpool Pleasure Beach in that conversation.

I can't imagine why you'd say that based on your avatar.

I can think of a certain animal that would work out with this cat stuff.... The world could just implode if we get a Bearcat themed GCI.

^Being stuck in restraints while the boat has capsized in the water is pretty much nearly killed.

Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt your regularly scheduled Kings Island discussion for Decoding Music 2016.

12 bar blues progressions are catchy.... Duffy- Mercy

jdawg- could you list some artists with similar voice ranges?

Lemme try. Beyonce- Love On Top

Ok, clues so far- -female artist -octave jump - a word with a long u - slow start, moderate tempo - electronic Question- when you say the singer in the chorus 'moves up in pitch', does the whole song do that? (trying to determine if the song has a key change)

If I were you, I'd keep some paper and a pen in my pocket for the next time it gets played and write the lyrics down.

What kind of tempo are we talking here? (fast, slow, moderate, etc)

Also remember that we're all wired differently; things like the sensations we feel on coasters, how we perceive and interpret visual stimuli, what triggers our adrenaline glands to fire, what makes us happy and feel good. What may be forceful, smooth, rough, etc to one person may not be that way for another. Some people may like certain rides beyond the forces and elements. Context is a big factor. To me, seeing people rattle off their favorites is more of a insight to what the person has experienced in how they came to like certain things rather than how the ride actually is. In simpler terms, it tells me more about the person than the ride, at least on individual bases.

^Well, they're still selling their products overseas. They're not completely out of the business yet.

Also include better food service, a repaved parking lot, repainting Racer, hopefully no razing of RFYLCB, and smoothing out the bad parts of the new entrance and we'll have a winner.
