Haha. Stephan Mayes quoted me in his profile. I feel special.

July 26th I'm definently there. Who's with me?!?! What kind of things did they do for big number 20? I know that Gemini for it's 25 they had a huge banner that you could sign, I hope they do something fun for The Beast, too.

Yeah, rides can be down, but then just ride the small stuff. Try and make it as fun as you can. Congo Falls isn't the biggest ride there but it's still fun. Same with Viking Fury. Paramount runs a pretty good park and just since pre-opening day some rides were down, it doesn't mean they suck. I'd hate to hear you complain about TTD

Yeah I once saw a HUGE guy, not fat, but he was extremely tall and skinny. It was really funny watching him try and get into FoF. He must have been 7 foot or higher.

HAHA. That's great. Yeah I've gotten to do that only once before also. I got it for Top Gun. Wasn't lucky enough to get front seat every time. It wasn't that empty! Still got 3 in a row, I don't really like Top Gun all that much. I also once got that for Dueling Dragons. That was awesome.

Awesome Aussie Twister & Bondi Pipeline: 46" Not recommended over 52"? Not much room to spare there, only a 6" gap between those.

See that, it's only as fun as you make it.

Shoulder harnesses? Now that's just getting crazy. How 'bout PKI gets some Intamin-style harnesses. Talk about comforable for all sizes.

That's cool. I'm excited for those Rivertown days! Coney Mall, Kid's Rule, not really so great. I could go for a FoF marathon!

That was so awesome. I rode so much within that hour. I can't wait for some more 2 hour visits to PKI and riding everything descent.

Son of Beast hurts people even if they are small

So they have LaRosa's at other Paramount parks? I thought it was mostly just a Cincinnati/Southern Ohio chain.

Does anyone here actually like Son of Beast & Flight of Fear's constraints? I'm supposed to grow to be 6'3" & I don't know if I'll be able to fit. I'm already hurting from the squeeze. I almost like Flight of Fear's old harnesses better. Intamin, now those are some good lap bars.

This should be close. A perfect matchup in the end. Age vs. Beauty. Wood vs. Steel. Coaster vs. Flat.

Yeah, it echos a lot. When I was there me and my friends started a clap during a break-down period and it was so loud.

King Cobra, I barely knew thee.

Ah, I see.

Oh, then what was Skylab? I thought that it was the thing that kept turning and turning and then it went upside down and stuff. So that was Flight Commander?

Yes

No. That's Delirium. We're talking about a ride that's gone now. It was in between The Racer and King Cobra I believe. I heard that the reason they got rid of Skylab was because someone got drunk, slipped through the bars, and then flew out and died. It sounds a little far-fetched to me, anyone else here about why they got rid of it?

Maybe they could do that Italien Job theme into it and make it kind of like Days of Thunder with the driving and everything. That might be kinda cool.

I like to eat LaRosa's. The bricks have a good aftertaste. The mortar is quite chewy as well.

Skylab was awesome. Used to be my favorite ride before going on coasters. Then they got rid of it for those basketball things I think.

I voted for the first drop. I felt it was a sheer tie between the helixes and drop, simply because the first drop is unique. Honestly, Beast's first drop gets me just a snidbit (oh yeah you like that) less than Millenium Force's first hill. I don't know why, it's just a little drop, but you seem to be going down it so steeply, and then the tunnel at the bottom where you almost hit your hands. The double helix part is an unmatched part of a ride, but the first hill is still crazy, even after all these times. Such a hard decision...

Yeah, I have to agree with "darkstar skater", Cedar Point has the best coasters & in a way it spoiled PKI for me. Now all the coasters except for The Beast don't seem all that great. Face/Off's pretty good too. I haven't been back there since riding TTD so I wonder how they will seem now! Anywho.... I went with flats, even though I wish they would make coasters instead, their flats are better than most of their coasters. I mean, Drop Zone, Delirium, Tomb Raider, THE SWINGS!!! PKI's flats are great.
