Just noticed the overnight stay at KI for Boy/Cub Scouts with ERT and food! Link Here

I had a very foggy dream last night that I was ridding DB. That is about all I remember, when I woke up I realized I have to get to the park real soon.

Why do anything of the sort in the first place, especially at a place where people are taking their families and trying to get away from the worries of the world.

It is unclear on how the SOB story is going to unfold? They spend a few dollars giving Crypt a new entry way this year and retheming a few years ago. I don't think it is going anywhere. I would like to see them take the structure down around it and turn it into an outdoor ride with a good theme. Then you have a cool ride experience without the cost of a new ride.

As much as I love this topic because I dream a lot, we already have one of these going. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16173

I always used the campground tram for we always spent the weekend at KI campground and went to the park via tram. They stopped the trams at the end of the 2004 season I think for that was the last season for the campground. I really miss those days. Now I only drive over for day trips. KI is missing out on a lot of money from me by getting rid of their campground!

Might be a little late with the request, they are probably in DB ERT right now.

Sorry if this has been discussed, for I did not go through the almost 700 posts in this topic, but has someone researched what was on the land before KI became into existence?

Same here. Have not see any come out for a while!

Can we have a page that shows the creeds that people have submitted by park?? Great work so far RWNContact, I am having fun watching this site come together!

I'm interested here. Why do you think The Beast is haunted? I think it is haunted because I have had my own personal experience on it, and that makes me want to ride it more and more to see if I see it again. I'm a strong believer in supernatural things. After I saw what looked like a guy in his teen years walking up the second lift hill right behind the train, then turn back around and it wasn't there anymore, I always try to see if I can see it again. That's why I think it is haunted. Cool experience! I personally think you would see a coaster enthusiast ghost hanging out there more than the ghost of the people who have died in the park. What would be better than having the park to yourself after everyone goes home, sounds like heaven to me!

It is a great you can get a really good video of it on S & S's website here. http://www.s-spower.com/familythrill/elloco/elloco.php

Well, they are 2 differnet animals. I prefer to ride DB right now, but that could be the different experience you get on DB that we have not had in the last 30 years. For memories and tradition, I choose Beast!

Could be, but I would hate to get excited about a new ride and it be a new ice cream stand!

Yes it is very nice on the admission. I was up there recently. Here is the Trip Report Link.

We are 1.5 hours from IB. The closest park, but I agree as well 1/2 hour more and I can ride DB!

This was posted to twitter a few hours ago.... HolidayWorldJust turned in my list of ideas for naming the new ... thing ... for 2010. We meet tomorrow to make a decision. Then the fun begins. #HW #fb

I see your point, but for someone who lives 4.5 hours away from CP, and 3 hours from HW I would like to see some more variety from a local (Indiana) park, although KI is more local than HW for me. Indiana Beach has more variety of coasters, but not as good of quality in my opinion. Plus IB is a little land locked unless they moved their parking lot somewhere else and built in their current parking lot. They did take up some of their parking when they built Steel Hawg.

It would be interesting to see if they would look B&M up for a steelie. What would even a small B&M (floorless/invert) cost these days? 8 mil? 10? I would love to see a B&M there as much as anyone, but when the time came to do a cost/benefit analysis I've always been curious to see how the numbers would lay out. We can always hold out hope, though! Yeah, I see what you are saying, but I am sure B&M could design a compact steelie that would not be to bad price wise. I would not see them going with a floorless/invert in their first steelie though.

In light of the woodie poll, and seeing HW beating KI, I am wondering if you think they should go steel next or continue adding to their wood collection? List your thoughts and preferred manufacturer for the park! I would like to see them build a steel coaster by B&M.

The only thing I have bought this year was the CF VIP jacket at RWW. I try to stay out of the shops as much as possible.

I am glad to see someone put Cornball Express before Raven. I also feel the same. I was not all that impressed with Raven although I did vote for HW, for Voyage and Legend beats SOB and racer in my book.

Hearse for Giga I presume! I voted for Advil roughness. If you are not willing to take a little pain and discomfort then you might as well stay over in Nick-U.

Enjoyed the pics. Thanks for sharing.

I think they are the same price at my local Meijer in Indy. (See screen name.)
