If a park has a Roller Coaster built by either one, you know that park is going to be a good park. It's basic fact.

I can understand the high food prices and what not, but $15 to store your stuff is just a flat out rip off by Kings Island and Cedar Fair. Also rides where you have to buy a locker, such as FOF, TTD, and MF is also a scam. I understand that you do not get off where you get on but that's just plain greed. Smh @ any park that does that. Period.

Tallest Invert. Bet.

I've been in the arcade a few times with friends. It's pretty big and has a lot of fun games, but a dark ride would be epic!

Yeah, rumor has it that the big Arcade in the Main Midway is going to be redone and turned into a dark ride. I would approve of this, since the arcade does nothing for me. However, it doesn't seem like Cedar Fair to throw away a money making thing for something that would take money to make. Unless the arcade isn't pulling in any money, which I could see. We'll have to wait and see.

Noted. Thanks guys! I knew it was nothing special. Just like you said, a place to lay your head.

Son of Beast had a nice logo too.

Hello Kings Island Central!!! Are you ready to Rock?! Lol anyways. My Family and I will soon be taking a Cedar Point Mini Vacation. We will be staying at the Breakers Express Hotel and are going to the park Sunday night, Monday, and Tuesday the 4th,5th,6th of August. I'm guessing someone on here has stayed at Breakers Express and can share some details on the Hotel. I've Stayed at Hotel Breakers before. With it being a nice hotel, just a bit dated. I'm going into the trip with rather low expectations for the Hotel because of this. Thanks for the help guys!

The Beast. Just a classic. Plain & simple.

It would be a different park for sure. The big Intamin coasters would just be different and built by a different company. If Intamin wasn't in business, I bet another coaster company would come along to rival B&M.

Hey guys! A few of my buddies and I are planning a trip to Kings Island in early May. I was wondering what the crowds are like on these days? I've only been to Kings Island in the summer months and never the spring. Thanks for your help and ride on! I mean where else can you get advice like this other than KICentral?

My first ride on Son of Beast was Friday July 7, 2006 of all days. Two days before the accident. I had only been to Holiday World before, so Kings Island was a better big step. I remember on the ride from Indy my dad, my dad's friend, my brother and I were talking about how then Paramount's Kings Island had been bought out by the people who own Cedar Point. ( At the time I had no idea what Cedar Fair was) My dad said they were going to change the name to Cedar Point South. I thought to myself , "wow thats lame." I'm glad he was wrong. Well when we got to Kings Island I was in shock! Nothing compares, it stands(ed) alone. Good-bye Son of Beast. I won't forget about you! :')

Yeah I think the AmaZOOM,Bamboo Chute, and the Congo River are gonna be gone for next year. On Saturday there was large holes dug by them and the congo river had a bunch of dirt in it. So my guess is they are gone for the new entrance. Which is sad because I had fun sliding down the slides when I was really little and going around the Congo river with my family when I was a small child. Shame, but alas they are kinda in the way of a new entrance and a tad outdated. Bitter-sweet

There is a Movie coming out called The Raven, maybe the movie makers payed HW to change the name? I sure hope not tho! The Raven is the coolest named coaster out there!

Edgar Allen Poe rose from the dead and demanded that the name of the Raven be changed.

Thanks!^

On a little side note here, but for those of you that have been, how have the crowds been at Happy Halloween Weekends? I'm going Saturday and would like to know. I also heard that The Legend is already closed for the season due to track work. Which if you think about it, it is the 3rd best of the woodies, but still. Anyways, Thanks

It's such a darn shame this ride just didn't work out! Like the girl that got away...

My Favorite Memory of DT was riding it with my friends last season about 10 times in a row in a hour & a half right before close on a busy Saturday. On the final turn there was what looked to be like a "ghost." I knew the whole themeing of Alaska, so I was the only one of my friends who knew that it was ice & not a ghost. But every time we flew around that last turn we would scream "ghost!!!!" like shaggy & scooby doo. My gosh, I'll miss that!

Hmmm...... I would say a tie if SOB was open, but I have to give it to KD because of Intimidator 305. Two very nice parks. The number 2, 3, or 4 parks in the Cedar Fair chain, depending of how you rate Canada's Wonderland, which I have yet to visit. Overall you can't go wrong with either.

Yes, I sure do. All the new names for the rides are corny as best.

The Racer Back to its 1972 state!

The Raven

What a Bandit! What sap steals stuff?

Ouimet>Kenzel. End of story. Get a mad mouse to replace Wildcat. Those things do wonders! Michigan's Adventure's Mad mouse made me feel like a kid again riding the Raven at the age of 5, the ride that started it all. Kentucky Kingdom's was pretty good as well. I do enjoy DT, but I think a woodie in that spot, would be overall better for that area in Cedar Point. As for Son of Beast, what are you waiting for Ouimet! Get that thing out of here! What an eyesore! SOB was my favorite ride in the park, but when it sitting there for 3 years now it makes the park seem "unsafe" and lets be honest, trashy. Get rid of that big box at the back of the park too. I rather see a HH maze in the woods by Diamondback anyhow. I give Ouimet a A- overall so far. He is doing what has to be done. While Kenzel, besides Cedar Point, could never get a grade better than a C in my book. Also it is time to show Valleyfair, Worlds of Fun, Dorney Park, Michigan's Adventure, Great America, & Knott's some love. I'm tired of the Cedar Point, Kings Island, Kings Dominion, Carowinds & CW getting all the love for Cedar Fair. With another roller coaster and one or two thrill rides, Michigan's Adventure could go from a local park to something much bigger. As long as they don't go the Six Flags Ohio route ( God rest it's soul.) Gee Geauga Lake, one of Many parks Six Flags ruinned. Any body wanna make a list of parks they ruinned? Just my 2 cents.
