I want that frosted shot glass with the black DB logo that says GET BIT.

WOW, this is SO AWESOME.

I actually consider BLSC to be a fun ride. AE is fun at night too, you have no idea where you're going. A ride doesn't have to defy the stratosphere or run at breakneck speeds to be a great ride. Maverick is a great example of this too. Every great amusement park needs a variety of things, from extreme thrill rides to carousels, from games to water slides, from live entertainment to haunted houses. The more people you appeal to, the better for your business. I am indeed a thrillseeker and will ride the tallest, fastest, scariest things around.. but I rarely go to CP without a ride on the Giant Wheel or the CP/LE Railroad. Now the Sky Ride.. you have to tranquilize me first. That thing terrifies me.

One of the funniest things I heard last year was as I was entering the Raptor queue. One guy in front of me said, "I hope my feet don't get cut off." His friend turned around and said to him, "You're an idiot." and kept walking. It was hilarious.

My best pic is from Winter SOAR.

Last year, I posted something about lighting up the poorly lit walkways at night. There was a rather long stretch of dark, unlit walkway between Action Zone and International Street last year, and it made me nervous. I noticed this year that this walkway, along with a few other walkways that were poorly lit last year, are now lit up at night. I also posted a topic about the gift shop having very limited sizes of coaster apparel last year, and got quite a response from you all. I arrived at the DB Trading Post to see that there were a variety of sizes in the DB shirts. Not only that, but the first rider shirts were a variety of sizes. And furthermore, Kat noticed that the Thrillseekers shop had more sizes. We really appreciate this. I really like that the park cares about what we think, and does their best to implement these ideas so that we are even happier customers. Also, a kudos to the moderators for keeping this website friendly, spam free, and a fun place to post and make new friends. I realize I have been a bit of a pain in the neck lately as far as some of my posts (I tend to be quite opinionated, and I tend to type before I think sometimes). I don't think you guys get enough recognition for everything you do for us on the website.. your efforts are not unnoticed.

While Kat and I were in line for Delirium, these two maybe 10 year old boys behind us were arguing whether or not someone had died on it. One kid proclaimed that one of the harnesses popped open and someone flew out and died. Then the one said something about how cool it would be if you flew out and landed on an open seat on Diamondback. They started giggling and joking about how someone would die on Swipers Sweepers. It was all I could do to stop from cracking up at that one.

I'm not going Friday. I may go Saturday or Sunday depending on my work schedule. I avoid the park like the plague on math and science days. I don't have a lot of patience in the first place.. I'd rather not go to the park when it's jam packed with busloads of bratty line jumpers.

I second that. And I actually already have one with design #12 on it.

I find it slightly amusing that for years people have called KI a family park. Suddenly DB shows up, and it's a thrill park. Anyway. She could always hit the arcade, ride the train or hit the Eiffel Tower, or maybe Thunder Alley.

While I agree with the first two parts... 1. The Beast 2. Diamondback 3-1000. every ride i can think of that's not SoB 1001. SoB

I'm glad you got your phone back! I was riding in the very rear seat the last time I was there. My snap pocket came open around the same area, and my phone started sliding out of my pocket! I managed to re-secure it just as we hit the helix. On a side note: Drop Tower's full height is 315 feet. The height it drops you from is 264 feet.

This is exactly why I drive to the park by myself and meet up with others there. That way if anyone wants to cut out early, I can stay and do whatever I want.

As I predicted, the regular Kings Island forum is now being flooded with "who's going?" topics. There are similar posts in the off topic forum. Unless these posts stay on the list of recent posts, they will likely not be seen by a lot of forum members. I think my idea is helpful to the site because it is a step toward topic organization, and better feedback from members about who is going on a particular day.

The same thing almost happened to me on DB. I was in the very back seat on the right, and after we got yanked out of the MCBR, I felt something and looked down to see that my snap pocket had opened and my phone was halfway out! I managed to re-secure it just before we hit the helix. I can't believe the forces were THAT strong in the back.

This girl tried to cut me in line for Beast last time I was there. What a brat since it was a walk on. I loudly yelled EXCUSE ME, LINE JUMPER and walked right in front of her. Her friend shot me a dirty look, but I couldn't care less.

Diamondback: any seat is fine with me, but back is the best Racer (red): back FOF: front Beast: front at night Millennium, Wicked Twister, and Dragster: back Maverick and Raptor: front Magnum: ejector

When Kat and I went to ride 5:1 on Vortex on opening day, the ride op slammed down on my OTSR so hard that I was pretty much stapled. I HATE those harnesses.

Night. I rode it last night as the fireworks were going off, that was crazy awesome. It's amazing during the day, but it looks so ghostly and ominous at night as you crest the hill and see the track partially hidden in the woods. Plus if you look straight down over the edge of the train as you go down the first drop, it feels like a free fall.

I was amazed at how dead the park was yesterday. I never waited more than 10 minutes for Diamondback.

My slight annoyance is when people call it D-Back, like K-Fed or J-Lo. Stop with the stupid celebrity abbreviations. It's a roller coaster.

I'm registered!! Ride Warrior is my middle name.. can't wait!
