Add me to that list too.

Good point, Terpy. I didn't think about the change in ownership to Cedar Fair. Anyways, back to the subject at hand... anybody ever have a night ride to remember on a coaster or any other ride at KI or another amusement park that they'd like to share?

I hope it's not true. I haven't ridden Flight Deck in a while, but after reading some things on RCDB I'm a little worried. Out of the 5 coasters that are now defunct, 4 of them shared their last season with a coaster that was new that season - Bavarian Beetle's last season and The Beast's first season was 1979, (Screamin') Demon's last season and The Vortex's first season was 1987, King Cobra's last season and Rugrats Runaway Reptar's first season was in 2001, and Scooby's Ghoster Coaster's last season and Italian Job's/Backlot Stunt Coaster's first season was in 2005. Am I being paranoid or is there a noticeable trend going on here?

Does anybody else think The Racer is pretty cool at night? In my opinion the ride looks better and a little more ominous when it's dark out.

For me, it's The Beast. You can't see the tunnels and it's a great ride on top of that. This is followed closely by Firehawk. Maybe it's because I wasn't in the front car, but I really couldn't see the track ahead of me. Tell me what you guys think!

On almost all rides at KI, I have my hands down. There are two exceptions - The Racer and Firehawk. I hadn't ridden the forward Racer until last season and decided to throw my hands up on it and had one of the best ride experiences of my life. Firehawk is a MUST for putting my hands up. There's just no other way for me to get that incomprehensible feeling of human flight. I might just have to go hands up on all rides this year and see if I like it.

Back when I didn't like roller coasters in 1998, I was SCARED TO DEATH to ride The Beast. That was probably the worst roller coaster ride I've ever been on. Ironically, it's been my favorite ride at KI for about a decade. I've also been apprehensive and didn't like the ride experiences on Drop Zone/Tower and Delirium.
