KI FANATIC 37

I could care less about records. As long as I enjoy it, I'm good!

Once again. Poor Intamin.

I haven't seen new construction pics in a while! They are still moving down the valley. Wonder when they will finally end?

^ Everytime someone says twisty I think of that guy "and the ride is twissttyyy weeeee twisttyyyy". I completely agree with you. I much prefer Maverick/Giga type rides, but Ill be happy with whatever!

Congo Falls is the one ride at Kings Island I have not ridden (excluding some rides in Coney Island), and I don't plan on riding it either. I just don't enjoy those types of rides.

Camden Parks prices are always steep. Our family always talked how it costs just about as much money to go to KI then it does Camden Park (excluding gas and parking)

Speaking of how unreliable Intamin's are, I305 has been closed since Monday because it got stuck on the lift hill due to the cable lift malfunctioning . I agree that it is very key to have a reliable ride.

^Thats kind of scary anybody can find that out... For courtesy I would not put his address on here, I would not want mine on here.

I don't mind it slowing down, but I just wish it could be less aggressive. I have to brace myself every time it comes or else my head goes right into the headrest in front of me. But thats what I like about The Beast! Its a different ride every time!

I remember visiting thar site everyday! It's amazing how fast time goes by.

So are Reese's! Yum!

Guys please, come on. There is no reason we need to be yelling at each other at this. The easiest way to solve this is to not put useless posts that you would get mad about if someone else put it on here. Try to read your post and think about what it adds to the conversation. I'd you can't find anything, then you should probably rethink it. I mean no disrespect to anyone.

But he had a point of sharing the photos. It wasn't like a couple pages back and the would quote 10 photos and say Drop Tower looks tall. He wanted to show that there wont be much work done because of all of the water on the ground. I understand you may be on mobile but maybe if you are short on data you should wait until you get home to check it. I mean no disrespect to you.

Also, I would consider myself a nice and funny guy around people I know, but to strangers Im relatively quite. When Im at KI by myself, I tend to talk to people in line and go out sound my comfort zone with strangers more while Im there. It has its positive and negatives.

I love going to KI alone. Its really good me time. Pretty much all I do is ride Diamondback all day.

One last note on the Intamin/B&M debate. Its not that Intamin makes to extreme rides, it is they do not double and triple check. Any company would guarantee that the BOAT fit the track! This is common sense and with a company of this magnitude it is a shame they dont do this.

On the coaster aspect, I am surprised they haven't laid more footers. I know they have expanded by FD and Ae, but I thought there would be more by this time. Don't get me wrong, they still have plenty of time to lay more.

Where does Intamin make there track? Is there a place nearby like there is for B&M?

I've never been in a storm at KI, but I was in an awful downpour at Carowinds lat year. We got completely drenched, but at least we got some good hours in the park.

Could that pipe be where the future queue would be? Like in the center of it to drain water? Im probably just making this up, but just trying to draw conclusions.

I think its safe to say they are definitively hiding things, and Im all for that. Its not fun when track appears in June. I like the constant guessing.

I feel like Don is playing a game where he tweets something random and sees how long it takes to appear in this thread.

Its crazy that I live less than 20 minutes from Camden Park, but never go. The Big Dipper was the first roller coaster that I ever rode. Its weird to think that early in 07 I was terrified of it, and by October of that same year I was riding Son of Beast and loving it.

I thought coasters just ran a one train operation in the rain?

This was mentioned far back, but I don't think they trademark HH names. I could be wrong but that was my understanding.
