The ride, of course!!!

Great! Makes me wanna go ride right now!! Posted from iPhone 3G

Sorry to bump up my old topic, but recently I rode Diamondback at night. I'd have to say that's right up there with The Beast at night. You can't even see the track! It's just so exhilerating, especially with the fireworks going. You get quick glimpses of the track, and then you just can't see them anymore. Amazing.

I voted for FOF, because the queue is so entertaining. I would have loved to have been able to expirience TR:TR in all of its glory.

My first Beast ride, along with my brother's first loop. OOH. Yesterday, I got a Zen ride on Wild Thornberries. It was kinda freaky considering it was dark and I was in the woods alone. Although I'm not sure if its a zen ride because its not a coaster. Or does it still count?

It IS a great park. I used to get season passes there instead of KI when I was littler, and I'd go all the time. Aztec Adventure along with The Rapids thing are the best things there. DO NOT miss Snake River Rapids if you go. That ride is so fun, and usually has very short lines.

I felt great when we went up the second lift! I kept telling him over and over, "I'm so so happy I got you to ride this!"

I was expecting quite a bit of crowds because of it being the weekend and all, but really there wasn't too many people there. My friend (who is not too fond of roller coasters) and I arrived at Kings Island at about 2:30, and rain was pelting the windshield. We waited for a while in the Gold Pass lot, and finally the rain let up a bit. We walked to the gate, and the whole time we were walking I was just waiting and waiting for Diamondback's all-clear horn to sound. We decided to walk around a bit, and ended up in the arcade near The Beast when it started to pour again. We waited for about a half hour, and played a few games. My friend (whose name is Josh too) decided he wanted to ride BLSC. I agreed, as that ride is fun. The ride ops decided they would start their ride up when Diamondback stopped running cycles and let people on, which was about a 10 minute wait. We were at the very front of a line that we formed. We rode front seat which was pretty fun, as I had never done front seat before on BLSC. Seeing the line was short, we decided on going again. Don't make fun of me, its a fun little ride. After that, I wanted to get my friend on The Racer for the first time. He was really freaked out as we pulled up the lift hill, but as soon as we hit the drop, he totally loved it. It was a new experience for me too, because it was running...... *drumroll* TRIMLESS! It was great! I absolutely loved the trip back to the station! We marathoned it 4 times, before he started to not feel good. Also, I think I may have seen HTCO, but I figured it wouldn't have been him because he said he had practice. Once we finished up The Racer, we walked over to Adventure Express, which was a walk-on. That ride just never gets old. We were the last train to go, before they announced there was thunder and lightning. (There wasn't..) So, since the rides closed down, we went and ate at Outer Hanks. It was pretty good, and I had never eaten before. So when rides started opening back up, we left and went up the Eiffel Tower. I showed my friend The Beast, and told him since he loved AE and The Racer, he would probably love The Beast considering it was a wooden coaster which went fast through the woods. He finally announced he was going to go on it in a hour. (He wanted his food to digest). We walked over to Diamondback, because I wanted to get at least one ride on it. Well, it was closed down because they were getting a train out of storage. The ride-op said it would take 45 minutes to re-open. I thought, are you kidding me? They're just taking a train out of storage. Well, I figured he'd be right. And since I saw that Drop Tower's line was short from the Eiffel Tower, I figured I'd go ride that. I had just passed Scooby-Doo when I heard the horn blow! So I sprinted to the SRL, and got on in under 10 minutes. I was assigned row 3, but my partner rider went to row 2 because people let him in front of them. I jumped in with him, and got my first front seat ride. I have to say, I don't like the front as much as the back! By this time, my friend was ready to ride The Beast. It was a one train wait. We climed up the lift, and he said he regretted wanting to ride it. And as soon as we hit the tunnel after the first drop, he looked at me and said, "I LOVE THIS!" It made me feel great because for the longest time, he hated roller coasters. He decided to go again, and I went with him. Again, he loved it. I had a good day at Kings Island, as always and I was so happy I got my friend to start riding roller coasters. Enjoy.

Heh.. I have 8. I can't wait till I get there on an empty day and can marathon it. I'm shooting to go on Thursday.

I saw that too! ;D

I absolutely LOVE these pictures! DESKTOP MUCH?! No seriously, can I use one as my background?

I usually wear my Adidas sandals or my super duper comfy Rider flip flops. I don't really like wearing tennis-shoes around.

One kid in line for Diamondback said it went upside down 100 times.

When I went on June 9th, one of my friends said.. "You know, on the last day of the season, they let you swim in the fountains." I also heard while waiting for BLSC.. "This ride goes faster than Diamondback in that tunnel, its an illusion"

Kiddie coaster "junior coaster" Wood and Steel Wood = FOC, Beastie at the time. Steel = Giggle Coaster, Top Cat's Taxi Jam then. Major Wood and Steel non looping Wood = Racer Steel = Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Looping Steel and Wood sorry I had to do it. Wood = SOB Steel = Scorpion Suspended Flight Deck Inverted Invertigo Launched looped and Non looped Looped = Flight of Fear Non-looped = Powderkeg Stand-up N/A Water Ride Pfft. I don't know? WWC?

Giga, I think I'll bump myself to level 6 as well. Hands up on everything! Can I hear an 'Airtime'?

So is the violence the reason you have to be 18 to ride in the back seat? Or is it just a rule?

Somebody tell her about Hades: http://www.rcdb.com/ig2667.htm?picture=53 Isn't that ride so rough you have to be 18 or older to ride in certain seats on it? Or is that Zeus? Or Cyclops? Josh, who wished he knew his Greek mythology better... Eep! Double post! Sorry!

The Beast. Hands down. (But like many others, up while riding.)

I read the TR's sometimes, and sometimes I don't. I usually always look at PTRs, because they are just a lot easier to look through and more appealing. I really love Kat's (violakat03) PTR/VTRs, Angie's (gigacoaster2k) PTRs and her occaisonal VTR, and Jackson's (Beast1979) PTRs. YES! I'm excited!
