BeastinNight

We got over there about 15 minutes after it opened and waited about 30 minutes. We were all the way back almost even with Wicked Twister and it was still only 30 minutes probably.

Let me Start off saying WindSeeker is Fantastic!!! Possibly the best flat I have ever ridden. I was at Cedar Point on Tuesday when it opened. It had been testing all day and about 8, a few of us were getting in line for Millennium when the entrance worker was like "Hey WindSeeker is open!" We ran over! WindSeeker is a People Eater!! 64 people at a time!! that line moves FAST!! anyway the seats do get REALLY close at times on the way down, to the point where you have to push it so it doesn't hit your legs but they do have a warning at the back of each seat and people did not seem to mind. Anyway the Ride is Fantastic... plus it has music on the gondola that made it even nicer. Definitely worth the wait. Side Note - The setting at CP over the lake may make it the best setting among these rides now that i have seen the view.

Well Cedar Points is Officially Announced..... Surprise Surprise is a..... wait for it..... WindSeeker!!

I can 100% guarantee its a Wind Seeker after looking at this... http://i787.photobuc...ck/8214d7aa.jpg and then the logo on this... http://www.knotts.co...eeker/index.cfm Its the same wind Graphic in both. So the question is no longer what the ride is but how tall it will be?? I am gonna say 301' and CP will get the tallest one of the four prob around 350' since they usually get the record breakers (which I am 100% okay with bc I Love CP). But the height thing is a total guess at this point.

Im gonna call Possible Photoshop on this... hmmm idk it just doesn't look right, but then again idk whats on top of the ride so it could be real.

Yea i was talking about the Multi-color Floods that used to light up the whole tower.... heck you can still see them all around the tower on the ground and on the 50ft deck while on the elevator. I just dont understand why they are not on this year on the front or sides.

Question...... Did anyone else notice that they don't light up the entire Eiffel Tower anymore?? I have only seen the Back lit up so far this season and it looks sad from the front of I-Streeet with the colorful fountains and a dark tower. I just think it would make more sense to light it all up like previous seasons. Anyone notice this or am I missing something?? :/

It's supposed to take place in Lima (I think), yet they always show a shot of the Columbus skyline (albeit, an old picture) on their "local news." Its interesting because it is the Cbus Skyline in the background on the news scenes but its reversed. They have the pic flipped backwards.... hmm just made me laugh

okay good Thank You

I am going to get my pass processed tomorrow around 4. I wonder how long it will take?? Anyone have any clue??

What time can we get in on saturday with a Plat Pass???

Its an Amazing day to go I always go with My Brother... Fun People and Short Lines all for a Good Cause

Quick Question.... A few Friends, My Brother and I are Getting the 4 Pack Platinum Pass My question is when we go to get them processed do we ALL HAVE to be there?? 3 of us were gonna get the processed on the 16th but One of us has to work so he was just gonna wait till the first time he goes to get his processed... Can we do this or do we all have to be there??

I realize that it will not be open this Season but its is sad to look at the map and it not be there.... Though there are mixed reviews I Love SOB and hope they find a good fix that doesn't involve removal from the park. Anyway back to the map, It is definitely noticeable that something is missing... http://www.visitking...k/map/index.cfm this hits to close to home for me. ps. Im just gonna throw this out there but FOF looks freaking tiny on the map too... hmm never noticed that lol

All I can say is WTF!!

Yay!! 5@5 is back... It was an April Fools Joke like we all Thought

I ride Millie after dark too... just not Front row those are the people i am talking about. Granted it is worth it to do at least once just for the experience!

I see what you mean about the seclusion of the coasters but what about DB and SOB... The 2 biggest coasters in the park are right on the Midways. if SOB were lit up like MS at night it would seem even more like a Beast (excuse that that was a really bad and unintentional pun lol) and if they just added Spotlights on DBs Lift it would not affect the night ride at all. I feel like Coaster lighting is a way of showing off a ride and why not show off your multimillion dollar investments ps. the bugs on CP coasters at night are not that bad except MF which still seems to have dumb ppl lining up to ride front seat after dark... if you ride further back than the front car you are good

So I was thinking about KI Ride and Coaster Lighting... when you actually look at it it is very minimal. Yes the Eiffel Tower lighting is Sweet!! but other than that the only rides lit up to any extent are Delirium, Drop Tower and Invertigo. Yes last year they added 2 spotlights to Firehawk but it did not really do much and SOB only has 1 or 2 and looks kind of pathetic. When you think about what the KI Skyline could look like at night if some lights were just added to these coasters. Just look at Cedar Point... Nothing special except for MF (Possibly best Lighting EVER used on a coaster!! Especially now that they are getting it fixed back to the way it was) but it looks amazing!! they have Mantis, Dragster, Raptor, WT, MF, Blue Streak, and Mean Streak. If they just did to SOB what they did to Mean streak it would be Amazing and added some Spotlights on the lift hill of DB and even some on Racer or Vortex's hill or loops it would look 1000 times better So do you think KI should add more Ride and Coaster lighting to the Park?? I added a few pics of what I am talking about It just makes the park even more mesmerizing and welcoming at night.

Son of Beast!!!

I was there on Sunday and I did not notice any missing lights From what I could tell all of the colored lights were on. Though it wouldn't surprise me if they were off Friday or Saturday during the Haunt because if you have ever been to CP during Halloweekends you would know that they take all the ride Lighting down to almost nothing to add to the atmosphere of the park Dragster goes dark, Power Tower only has one side barely lit, and Millie only has one support lit plus all the other rides lights are basically off. Since KI doesn't really have a lot of ride lighting (I wish it did because i LOVE coaster lit up at Night!!) it makes sense that they would take away from what little they have to add to the experience and fear!

Agreed about the Screamscape comment but when I clicked the link on Screamscape and it took me to the KI site I figured it must be true And dont get me wrong I Love Nickelodeon but after seeing CPs Planet Snoopy I think it could turn out kinda sweet!!

Yea That was the Link I Originally Posted but it Does not work!?! Somehow it changes it when you click post :/

Its Official!! Nick-U becomes Planet Snoopy in 2010 I cant Get the Direct Link to work so just scroll down on this link and click under Planet Snoopy http://screamscape.com/html/kings_island.htm It Mentions 4 Coasters in Planet Snoopy (Nick-U) and I can only Think of 3 - Fairly Odd Coaster, Runaway Reptar, and Little Bills Giggle.... So are They building a new Kids coaster or do they consider Avatar a Coster?!? Rcdb does not consider Avatar a coaster and it never has been before! so does anyone know?? Anyway I am glad to see this actually I feel It will Be a Nice refreshment in the park and if advertised well could boost attendance!!! and will also Streamline all the Cedar Fair parks.
