Mr. Coastermania

When you find yourself checking the website for calendar dates or looking for new info on the new season.

Even though I made it to the park, my heart was not into this past season. Glad to be back. Taking the walk of shame is a wake up call for anybody. I was upset, but I respect the safety guidelines that must be followed and would hate to be the cause mishap due to my weight. Counting down to opening day.

Looking forward to the great changes coming at Kings Island, and I hope to be able to enjoy more this season. I lost my dad last year to cancer, and I put on some weight leading to the walk of shame to end last season. As a result, I am back to working on losing some extra baggage and preparing to have a great season. Currently I weigh 275 and need to lose about 25 lbs to safely fit on most rides. As far as Cedar Point, I need to lose about 40 to 50 lbs to enjoy their rides. Seems that a few of their rides are tougher to fit in. Anyhow back to work and hope to see everyone at the park this season.

I will be going next weekend.I dont see friday being very busy but saturday could be busy.i wont but fast pass or fright pass.Standing in lines dont bug me much unless it's really hot and i like to just take my time and enjoy things. 1. RingMaster 2. TombRaiderFTW 3. pikeman77

Enjoy yourself.Most rides depend on where your weight is but i think you should be fine.

So they are closing the bay or renaming it?It would be pointless to have two water parks in the same area,via the beach,boomerang bay and now Soak City.

Will try to keep it short since most things get posted over and over. Got to the park at 9:00 am and found a great parking spot. Had some guy try to bum a smoke from me.It seemed that the police was watching him as soon as he came up so maybe he does this alot. 9:30 am headed back for ERT.I was shocked by the calm.No running.I guess they are enforcing this rule more now. Crowds today seemed lite and that made for more riding. Most rides seemed like walk ons up until 3 pm then it got a little busy. I got front seat rides on all my favs.Even drop zone and WindSeeker.HA HA.I just had to . I got to see that 3d show and Dinosaurs Alive and i must say,i liked it.When they first put this in i thought it would be dumb and a waste,but i really do like it.Cant wait to see if they do something with it for the haunt. A few times while walking through it today,i got asked how i liked it and if i had any questions?Very nice to have someone out on the path keeping up with guests. I brought my WindSeeker cup from CP and they refilled it,so im glad that i can use it here as well. I can tell the season is coming to a close.Some workers sounded and looked worn out ,but they still did a great job.You guys and gals make Kings Island worth coming to.See you at the haunt.

You got my vote.Hope you get it.

As far as i know it's bring a friend,not bring friends.

The Beast has no test seat,but you can enter via exit and i think they still let you try a seat.Diamondback,tomb raider (opps did i just call it that)has one.But you should be ok.At 267 5-7 i fit The Beast ok.tight but ok.On Drop zone some belts seem tighter than others but again it could just be me.

Yeah.i even enjoyed my night time bug fest.man i was covered but it was fun.

It was such a gret trip and experience for me as well.Up until this weekend,i never knew how many people love the theme park experience and follow it as much as other club member out there do.Im proud to be part of it and hope to learn more as i come out to more events.

I could tell by other statements made that The texas giant treatment might be the only hope for the sob.The economy how much more money could they put in on it is a big factor but anyhow we ere told they would watch the texas for the year and see how it goes. Also wood coasters are not being built as big as they once was due to the size and stress they cause and over all repairs that they need.

Now that im rested back to my report. Mean streak Great job on the repairs.It runs much better. Rides-1 10/10 Mill force- 5 TTD- 6 Mean streak - 1 power tower -6 Blue racer-1 Maverick-1 magnum-3 mantis-1 iron dragon-1 Friday and the start of coastermania The park was more busy today but still wait times not to bad I will get ride to the good stuff. Had the lunch get together about 5:30 and the line to eat was like waiting for line on a saturday.long Food was great and even had a cash bar. Mr kinzel spoke and we heard from others that help keep the park running. Got many question's answered. Well for the Son of Beast.No answer on it's future yet but The texas giant rebuilt could be in the works but only after seeing how it goes.But my bet is the money for that could very well be spent on a new coaster for Kings Island in 2013. Much money has been spent by Cedar Fairs to fix it up but still has problems. Look for less wood and more steel in the coming years. Cedar Point might go for the 500 foot mark. In the film fest we saw a nightmare of a guy who woke up years later only to find Cedar Point gone and now owned by cedar flags. Bug off.A new film showing Ways to fight off the bugs people face while going speeds up to 125 mph. After all that was done it was time to get ready for ERT from 10:45 to 1 am but first i must see the new show American Portrait nighttime spectacular that will light up the sky! You have got to see it.It is that good. The ERT had top thrill dragster,mean streak,magnum and sky hawk.Great rides and small lines.Made some nice new friends.Other than TTD and magnum going down for a bit,it was great. Left the park at 1:30 am but i got back to the park at 5:00 am How about a 5:30 am wake up ride on Millennium Force? I was in heaven.I rode it 8 times that morning before the park got slammed and i mean slammed.At 12:30 some wait times were 2 hrs. Cedar Point had some great deals for students over the weekend so i knew it would be busy on saturday. Any how Saturday mornings ERT'S had Millennium Force,maverick,corkscrew and mantis.All i can say is thank you Cedar Point for some great choices. Wehad a picnic at 2:30 with all club members getting nice shirts and yummy food. We got a bit of good news.With WindSeeker being down that night they gave us Millennium Force as a extra ERT for the night from 10:15 to 12 am along with Raptor, Blue Streak, Disaster Transport, Wicked Twister and maXair. With 3 days under my belt i was tired and headed off into the storm to get back home. That you all at Cedar Point for the great time,food,rides,shows,stories and the friends i made while i was up. Ilook forward to seeing more for you guys this summer.Enjoy this season.RIDE ON!!!!!!!

Now that im rested back to my report. Mean streak Great job on the repairs.It runs much better. Rides-1 10/10 Mill force- 5 TTD- 6 Mean streak - 1 power tower -6 Blue racer-1 Maverick-1 magnum-3 mantis-1 iron dragon-1

Had a great trip that started on thursday and ended saturday night.3 great days at cedar flags.yikes.there is a story to that.Details later. But back on to my Cedar Point trip. thursday june,2nd thought what the heck.I wanted to get one great day in before the weekend madness. Thursday was pretty slow.Most ride time's was 15 to 30 mins wait so i knew the day would be great. WIND SEEKER-NOT RUNNING YET.Sad sense i had hoped to get a ride over the weekend. MFORCE-front seat.ALways a great ride.Seat belts had a better fit.just me? Get that paint job done guys.Such a great ride needs the job fully done. From what you can see,the paint is great. The crew-Great as always.Very outgoing and fast to get people in and out.10/10 5 rides TOP THRILL DRAGSTER-Great as always.Break downs lite compared to friday and saturday. Front seat ride. Note i got most front seat rides on all coasters. Crew------You guys rock.You always keep us entertained when things are slow or broke down.10/10 How funny.launched at 420 mph at 120 feet in 3.8 sec. or how about a rollback at a low cost of 500.000 lol 6 rides im off to bed More to follow including info on SOB GOOD AND BAD And coastermania fun stuff Im off to sandman land after 3 wild but fun days.

Omg,if that really ever happened i would lose it.But then again ive seen crazy things before so who knows.

scratch that park off of my places to go this summer. I thought computer systems checked for that stuff as well as the check by hand process.

thank you for the info.Sleep?I work so much,i dont know the word.

This will be my first time going this year.Any tips and tricks to having a great time?Also who else is going to be there?maybe we could have a meet up.

How busy does coaster mania get?I ve never been to one and hope to make it this year.Did i hear someone say that our platt pass will get us in as long as we are a coaster club member?If we have to pay extra is there a discount for pass holders?

Oh well.The thought of work being done had my hopes up.I guess we will have to play the waiting game.Although i wonder does a ride like SOB need to checked up on and have up keep done on it even if it's nots in operation?I would think the longer it stands untouched the more problems it may have if it does have a chance of operating again.

I have to join one of them other clubs to be able to go?I wonder what else it's going to cost to go.Im sure my season pass wont help at this event.Who needs sleep!!!!!!!!

Would google earth show anything?Im going to look just to see.
