My friend and I were watching POVs of King Cobra on YouTube. Of course here comes along the questions - he asks, "Where is that ride now?" I say taken down. "Why? I think another stand up coaster had people that fell out of it, so they had to close it down." My response: "Ya, sure."

No. The line was really long, and even the line for the mats was about 15 minutes. We decided to pass on that.

I asked my mom, and she said no. Plain and simple answer!

I agree that she overreacted, but it was for a reason. At least three people had their food served to them before her. BUT, she had ordered a large pizza, and the other people ordered two slices, so I think it was just taking awhile for hers to cook. What really gave me a laugh about that was "My children are starving!" well - they can wait!

I just went to Boomerang Bay today. It does suck, but, it's better than nothing. The slides just aren't very original, and the hot concrete burned my feet. It really needs an update, and more trees (at least in the right side, because the area where Down Under Thunder is has a ton of trees).

Today was a very hot sunny day, once again. I thought since on a weekday it wouldn't be crowded. I was wrong. At 11:00 we got to the waterpark, and the line to it was outstretched almost to the back of the parking lot. I don't know why it took so long to get through, maybe some technical issues? So once we entered, I had to change in the locker rooms. My friend Jacob was with me and we had just gotten back from basketball camp. So we changed, got a seat near Tasmanian Typhoon (best seats in the park), and without any hesitation whatsoever went to Down Under Thunder. That ride was okay. Kind of boring, just a bunch of twists, and makings it way slowly down. Our feet were already hurting from the burning ground, so we decided just to have some fun with water. We went to Jackaroo Landing for about a half hour (we're such kids!) and splashed each other with water guns, and even went down the very thrilling water slide at the top. After we were freezing cold, we went over to the forest area again (where all the good slides are) and rode Awesome Aussie Twister. Another ride that didn't really entertain me. We then were very cold, and Jacob's stomach was empty. We went to LaRosas. Here comes a funny story. In the front of the line was a lady screaming to the cashier: "I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 15 MINUTES FOR MY PIZZA, WHILE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN THERES! MY CHILDREN ARE HUNGRY AND ARE GOING TO DIE OF STARVATION! I NEED MY FOOD!" and as the nice Cedar Fair team would say, they calmed down, and apologized. Here's her response: "SORRY DON'T CUT IT. I'M GOING TO TALK TO YOUR MANAGER AND YOU BETTER GIVE ME A DISCOUNT!" After eating, we decided to take a break from thrills, and we went into the wavepool for about a half hour. I love it! We jump up when the waves come so it takes us up with it. Then the waves stopped, so we went over to Sydney Sidewinder and rode that. Wow, that stinks. But it's still just a fun little ride. We then went to the lazy river and had a race to see who could get to the end first. I won, while Jacob got soaked and I was perfectly dry from the waist above. At about 1:30 we went to the wave pool again, but this time we wore life jackets, so the waves would take us up and down without us having to move. That was pretty fun as well, and by that time we were freezing cold,so we took a long break. By 2:00 we went to Pipeline Paradise and I failed twice. The first time, I went right into the exit. The second time I nailed my stomach into the side, and got taken up by the current. Fun, fun. My four year old sister was there as well with my mom, and had been riding rides all day, so to end the day I rode a slide at Koala Splash with her. Priceless! By 2:30 we had finished all our fun for the day, and headed home. Ride Count and Ratings for Rides: Down Under Thunder x1. 6/10. Sydney Sidewinder x1 4/10. Pipeline Paradise x2 8/10. Great Barrier Reef (wave pool) x2 10/10. Jackaroo Landing x1 7/10. Awesome Aussie Twister x1 8/10.

I think a small launched drop ride would be awesome in X-Base. Maybe about 150 feet tall, or if they want to, 300 feet tall! Yet if it was in Action Zone, it would look weird against the skyline, because Drop Tower is there as well.

I was just looking at the Columbus Zoo online - wow. That place looks amazing, as it is #1 in America (according to Time, I think that was the site). I mean, they have an amusement park, waterpark, golf course; plus the amazing theme for the countries. Last time I went to there was in second grade, in 2005!

I don't understand what's going on......

I meant the big amount of people in the front (in front of the fountains), waiting for the ribbon cutting to get in.

I don't think it's going to be given to anybody. If it's no good at Kings Island, it's no good anywhere else.

I asked at 5@5 once, "Could you possibly move the ERT entrance somewhere else?" Everytime I go into the entrance, people give me weird stares and yell at me for cutting (obviously park guests who do not have Gold Passes). It's annoying........

I as too love Flight Deck. No matter how short it is, it's still great. I think the whole extension thing is stupid. In no way would Cedar Fair think of extending it. It doesn't really make sense.

I hope Kings Island is watching this forum right now, seeing that Flight Deck needs a paint job, and hopefully they will cater to our every need.

Every ride opens at 10. If you have a gold pass/platinum, Diamondback and Beast start running at 9:00 on Saturdays and 9:30 on all other days (I think?).

As you can see I kind of "stripped" down my profile, just because I like it like that. And I would also like to do the same with my AIM username, shown on my profile. Yet for some reason, it won't show up in the profile settings like MSN and Skype did. How do I get rid of it?!

Snowflakes would be a little bit out of season, wouldn't they?

You should see my grandma, she lives in a neighborhood by Kings Island. She complains about hearing the roller coasters and the screaming .

The past three times "severe" storms have been issued for Clermont County, nothing even hits where I live. It makes me sad, because I love storms!

Ya, I've seen some pretty weird "romantic" stuff in the park, such as somebody chewing on his girlfriend's hair..........

Since when did he "freak out".....? Anyways, I agree with all the above posts. Even though TTD or Kingda Ka are great rides, and very exciting, they're just very expensive for such a short ride. I said this earlier, and I'll say it again. I don't even like them, because they scare the crap out of me!!

Why was it taken down? Problems, low capacity, too much to handle......why?

That made me laugh. I doubt we would get anything record-breaking. But, of course, somebody has to break a new record all the time. So, why can't it be us? I don't want a record-breaking coaster though. I'd be too chicken to ride it.

Hopefully it wasn't anybody here that posted that on Wikipedia, because you know how we've been talking about the floorless trains a lot. I said this in another thread; I will not believe anything until it is official. I will not believe rumors.

I put a B&M Invert, in 2013, but possibly a smaller coaster next year.
