Bumping to show how much has changed in 5 years!

It's nice to hear that The Zephyr is included in someone else's list of "favorite rides"!

Wonder why Taft wanted him to "return to Coney Island to oversee its rebirth as an amusement park"?

Thank you, interpreter! Hopefully I get a ride on Vortex before the season is over!

Please remind me again...where is 5-1?

You know, it would be a lot cheaper to dangle people upside down from a bungee cord and let other people beat on them with a wiffle ball bat… I'd like to see something just plain fun to ride...

Hopefully they know what they're going to do if it stalls with people on it!

At one time, TR:TR was my favorite ride at Kings Island. Nothing like I'd ever (or since) experienced!

I'm glad you liked them! I'm already looking forward to 2013!

I was going through some photos, and realized I hadn't posted pics from this trip…I love how the park looks during the summer! Thanks for looking!

I'm trying to imagine how much money was spend creating that amount of tra$h...

1 1/2 hours. I can't imagine what it would be like to grow up within minutes of Kings Island. As an adult, I'd even be pumped about it, but as a kid, I would think it would be hard to think about much else!

I've walked through DA once last season, and once this season, and really enjoyed it. I hope Kings Island continues to put in different "attractions"…something unique without it having to be a ride…kind of like they've always done.

Hopefully not for the same reason that the record for rides on SoB won't change!

I think there'a fine line between doing and learning about something because it's fun and interesting, and running into the ground.

I wouldn't. Those are too complicated. I would much rather a woodie where it plugs itself into the rest of the park, similar to a puzzle piece. Maybe they could include a playset next to it, where children can play. It's been mentioned on here that some posts offer more than what they seem…I think this might be one of those times.

Good or bad, this has to be one of the most significant things to happen to Kings Island since they got tired of the Ohio River flooding Coney Island. I'm not sure that enough people realize the full gravity of what is happening (that pun WAS intended to lessen the weight of my post).

The thrilling part for me when riding the backwards Racer was that I always felt like the train, when going down a hill, was going to flip end over end, like the back of the train was just going to come off the tracks.
