CedarPointer

No.

I'll just let my Facebook status speak for itself: [CedarPointer] just got back from Kings Island, and almost shed a tear, knowing he won't be back there until April... but hopes maybe he will be working there next year.

My last ride of the season was SDatHC. It will be missed, along with SoB and hopefully The Crypt.

I think he means a "Please remain seated..." spiel. In which case, yes, it does, along with the "Train launching..." one.

I didn't see an issue with using KD's BLSC instead of KI's, because the rides are identical and there is no noticable difference in the picture. I marked other ones as "wrong park" because there is a difference- for example, WWC's image shows a black raft, while KI's rafts are brown. I mentioned the sidebar images because some of them are clearly substitutes for KI rides, but KI does not have the ride pictured. Like this:

Mamba lacks airtime due to the trims. When it runs trimless (which, yes, happens occasionally), it does have airtime.

Updated first post to reflect that, thanks KI! (BTW, who wants to bet someone from KI read this thread and fixed it? Are any of the others fixed?) Does anyone else know of errors that need to be added to the list?

Taking everything into account (splashdown, etc.), I'd say: 1. Diamondback 2. Intimidator 3. Intimidator 305

There is a drop off between the two parking gates by the marquee sign. Right here.

Well, I'd rather have "smoother than most wooden coaster" than "rougher than nearly every wooden coaster on earth".

My guess is that we did not get Dominator because we were slated to get Diamondback in 2009.

I had always heard that the Flying Dutchman was going where Firehawk did...

I was referring to the POV page, which lacks a SoB POV, and the Thrill Rides description, which used to mention SoB. Which is why I didn't say "all references".

I have a hard time with Drop Tower, but that's more of a matter of height.

Here's the thing- if I were KI, I'd be making sure to tread very carefully in matters of actions that may ignite the ol' rumor mill. They've done the opposite- removing the signage, removing the trains early, removing references to it on VisitKingsIsland.com, etc.

But why throw them in the gravel, where they could possibly become damaged, instead of waiting a week to take them off and put them directly on skids?

I assume they had to drag out the "PARK FULL" sign that day...

When they tear down SoB, I'd like to see a B&M invert or a Maverick-style coaster. As long as it's a decent coaster, anything is more fun than nothing.

As I said, I doubt that she actually suffered an injury, but the possibility is there. It's miniscule, but it's there.

I don't doubt that a restraint would loosen one click. I do doubt a restraint opening all the way.

I doubt that it would be cost-effective to modify the trains again, and doesn't CF have G-trains from GL?

Information which was not given in the original post... AND rotag could possibly be referring to another incident which you don't know about.

SoB's trains were modified to fit SoB's wide track and cannot be used on another coaster.

Or they just dumped them off down there since they're throwing them out...

TTD, Maverick, Magnum, Diamondback, I305, Intimidator, Steel Force, Mamba, Patriot... wow, you're right!
