Dude, I'm not even close to done yet. The good stuff is coming, so chill out. But your so good at PTR's!

On the edge of my seat, waiting for more!!

As a family when I was younger we only hit KI maybe once a year. We would always end the night with rides on racer. We would then run back to the queue after a ride to see if they had blocked the queue with the trash can yet. If not, we would ride again. We would burn more energy the last 20 minutes of the night to get as many rides in on Racer possible after being exhausted from ridding and standing in the heat all day. That is probably the fondest memories I have of KI! My second fondest memory I have is going to RWW last year, getting to know the KIC family, and enjoying all the ERT. I must say the DB ERT while Giggacoaster2k and I marathoned DB the whole time was a lot of fun. It reminded me of the story I shared above. Thanks to KIC and especially Giga for all the great memories!

At least for now it shows it to be 70 degrees for opening day. I am happy about that!

Yeah, didn't see that thready before I posted. Sorry! Lots of posts in the map thread that should be in this thread.

Did anyone notice that SOB is not on the park map? http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/park/map/index.cfm

I noticed that the DB website http://www.kiDiamondback.com/ is not linked on the new DB page http://www.visitking...Diamondback.cfm I wonder if they are going to just let that domain lease run out, or if they just have not linked it yet? Love the new site, KI!

Keep in mind that you are assigned seats and may not get the seat you want the first few times. You can ask the ride ops for a specific row, but won't be guaranteed.

If the ride was still called The Italian Job, then I would be upset about the trains being changed. Since it is now BLSC then the Mini Cooper stickers are not as important to the theming in my opinion. Do I wish it would have stayed the same, yes. Am I okay with the change. Yes, especially if it is going to get us one step closer to a new ride.

So this is going to change the ride experience for you? I will admit it does give it a more personal touch, but the experience on the ride is still the same!

Ya-Hoo I think I have to agree with KI on this!

Answer from todays 5@5. Looks like the Mini Cooper details are gone.

Very true. Hopefully the GP does just that!

Considering the big KIC group that went to Carowinds last week, and the group that was at KD yesterday, I think they are off to a good start!

A few points worth quoting but a must read! http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201004/1855/

Very nice, thanks for the post Dave!

Sure sounds that way doesn't it? The question is can you get it in working condition after you purchase one. Another thought, how would you test one of these to see if it sinks without sinking one?

Are you talking about this? http://KICentral.com/history/videos/flightcom.php

Looks like his rug on top is about to blow away from running. I think it is funny and adds to his fear expressions. I am guessing that is what they were going for.

I think this was a good move by the park!

Thanks Jackson for asking that question, and thanks to Don for changing it to the 17th! I am just that much more excited about the 17th now!

Looks great, nice colors for the site as well. Makes me ready for the new KI site to be up.
