For real enthusiast and collectors this price is a drop in the bucket. Don’t like the price, then move along. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I doubt it since this is a limited edition product. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well the auction was cancelled as I figured it would be. Also a 1ft section of the tube part of the track weighs about 25lbs, so shipping would not be cheap. I recently saw a piece sell for $500, I assume it was sold. You never know what the park will do. Don’t give up hope yet. You never know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is a clip of how quick Racer used to enter the very short brake run. IMG_0169.mov

Brumfield was a 20 year veteran of Kings Dominion's maintenance staff. Today he's an author and I highly, highly recommend his book and blog, both called "Theme Park Babylon." But Racer is even more unique as “Hill 95” has an angle of 45 degrees unlike the other copies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Give me some time and I can get this cleaned up for you.

General Improvements? Restaurant? Wouldn't it be cool to eat out on a deck structure while watching Banshee go flying by? Like I said before, the park doesn't spend money unless they need to for a project. Doesn't always mean a new ride.

He is referring to this. They flipped on the old Flight Commander lights before razing the station and announcing KMAA

One of the reasons was due to the braking system used at the time. They were still using friction brakes and the brake run was shorter with the last dip. When it would rain there were times that the train had the potential to slide into the other train in the station. Imagine Orion’s leap into the brake run but on Racer and with only a buzz bar. Those were fun times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let's not spread information unless it's fact. That's how stories get carried away. I'm in no way defending the person. I just believe in sharing facts, not speculation.

Well, if Coney is done, I hope Cedar Fair makes a bid to buy the front gate and transplant it to Kings Island. It would be a great replacement for the old Coney Mall sign.

Exclusive rights for ride types has been gone for years.

Like a park where you can have a "Great" time?

On a Facebook post by the Tecumseh School District it was announced that Guil Herrick has passed away. Many of you may have seen Guil working security at Kings Island. His full time job was a teacher for the Tecumseh school district. I didn’t know him well, but the times I’ve talked with him he was always a funny and nice guy. So sad.

From what I was told, repainting Racer is going to be a very expensive job. In the millions due to removal of lead paint in the under layers. You can only paint over the wood so many times before it starts adding weight. Also the paint they use is a very heavy paint compared to what you would use at home. I would Love to see the old girl freshened up a bit. Maybe for the 50th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe should should get the whole story before attacking as to way someone didn’t reply. Maybe that person was banned from the site. So, lets see your apology. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I actually did a mock up and a rough survey A couple of years ago. The only items really in the way was Vortex and SOB station Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was an operating ride. I’m speaking of idle objects. Example: flight commander, The crypt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Many who have been around for a while will confirm, the park doesn’t spend money unless they need to. The station does not need to be removed unless something is planned for that space. I will put down a $100 bill that if it coming down then something is planned for the space. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No it’s not. It’s right next to the main gate. Security gate 3. Also I don’t think they are charging the road for employee access. Much cheaper for them to have their shuttle van to go around than raise to lower the road. Cheaper to put an employee entrance on that side of the park. There are also markers down by Soak City as well where utilities have already been put underground. I’m just hoping this is an overall parking lot repair project. I don’t think it’s anything to do with an attraction. I think it’s overall infrastructure improvements. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1.) Yes, you can see these markings from the lift hill very easily; unless you are legally blind. 2.) Members like you are one of the reasons why many are not here. 3.) I’m done with this topic, good day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How does that foot taste? I don’t feel like sharing more since so many want to bash others. Be lucky I shared these as there are many more. You all need to learn to respect other members. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kings Island requires more employees to run compared to IB. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
