  1. ....And I apologize in advance for the random Caps on different words. I just cant help myself some times..
  2. True As Much as I like this, This Coaster design has way to much of a thing called "Theming"... And we all know Cedar Fair's Attitude towards that... or rather, their Lack of attitude.. Can we really say that about Cedar Fair now?.... Lets give the company a few more years and see how the theming at the parks goes......Because so far, Matthew has the parks and the company headed in a good direction. Just remember.... Out with the Kinzel - In with the Ouimet... True. I hope they Turn that Aspect around. Personally, I think the theming of the ride, or the attraction for that matter, makes the experience. I guess thats why I harken back to the paramount days so much. The Heavy theming and the Flight Suits that the Employees at Top Gun/Flight Deck used to have. The Tomb raider Experience with the Workers telling the story and the Stone walls opening to the next chamber, "The Outer Limits" Flight of Fear, Italian Job Stunt Track <Backlot> when it actually had the Splashdown and the Lights and radio worked in the cars. These little attentions to detail MADE the ride for me anyway. I Almost hate to see whats become of Snoopys Starlight Spectacular, Whats left of the theming on Flight of Fear and The Lights that half work on Adventure Express. It Saddens me. I Still Love Kings Island, Always will, But I guess I just like to think of how much more Awesome and better things COULD be as opposed to how they are now..

  4. Without a doubt, Least favorite ride at KI is Shake, Rattle and Roll. I too can ride Roller coasters all day and be fine, u get me on a flat Spinny ride, In turning Green..
  5. I know for a Fact that the 50 cent a Ball basketball is WAY smaller than a regulation size basketball hoop. but the other ones throughout the park SEEM to be legit. Yeah the balls are a little overinflated, but thats to be expected. as was said before, the Midway games are there to make money..
  6. Well, yes, but no one ever does. There.. Ya Happy now?
  7. Im sure this has been asked before, but how long do the footers have to cure before something can be attached to them?
  8. But that Doesnt mean that an announcement wont be made this Season... Kings Island is open in the fall ya know..
  9. So this gets me wondering, what's the thought process when it comes to capitalizing your words? ...The Same thought process that comes to mind when I ask if you are an English Professor and/or someone who just wants to get likes on a post to make themselves seem smart in front of an audience.. Not a personal attack mind you, just kind of steams me when someone notices something so irrelevant to the main idea of a post that they feel they have to call it out..
  10. At this Point we cant rule out anything, This I know. But with all this talk about a B&M Giga or a Launched coaster, has anyone considered the Possibility of Another Woodie Being built here? I know the Odds are Very Unlikely with Sonny still in peoples minds, but still. Do the Footers give True Indication That this will most likely be a Steel Coaster?
  11. Coming Soon. Kings Islands new B&M Giga.. wait for it.. wait for it,,, DreamWeaver...
  12. Hasn't been my experience, especially in the night rows. Um... what? don't worry. He got me on this one too a few years ago.... Wonder how many other things he's said like that this year alone. Things that both were and were not like diversions.Sometimes if one cannot speak in riddles, parables, analogies, hints, and diversions, one is not allowed to say anything at all. For many reasons. One can be an asset, a know it all, banished, or fed in this life. Its all in relationships. It truly STARTS with who you know, later becomes what you know, and later still who knows you. Terp, who a few people know. This post may be one of the most important I've ever made. Ponder. Consider. Soon, it will be next year. Where will you be? I'm not sure of my answer. And I'd not have it any other way. Confront life with energy. Hello, Mr. Dalai Lama. Sorry, Just made me think of this...
  13. Are you in Planet Snoopy when you ask such a question?
  14. This Thread is so Entertaining. From Big Sexy's Trolling to Terpys Entertaining and Qwirky Answers to All the Newbies who are posting on here. Ive refrained from making any kind of prediction ever Since Kings Island started Putting the Dinosaur Paw prints all over facebook and I got on here and I "Guranteed" That Son of Beast was getting a Makeover into a "DinoSoar" Rollercoaster.. But Anyways, Whatever this New awesome ride is gonna be, Im enjoying the Ride its already giving in trying to figure out what it may be. Post On, Wise Kings Island aficionado's. Ill be Watching..
  15. Hey, A Little rain usually isnt a Bad thing. Keeps the crowds down..
  16. I was right there with ya man. I couldnt ride Diamondback last year either and i was about 320. Im 290 now and the last time I rode, I was able to get that 2nd click by myself. Its a great feeling. The Only ride at KI I currently cant ride is Drop Tower. Keep At It Dude!
  17. I Couldnt Disagree More. Im a rider of the larger Variety And if it wasnt for those ride ops doing their Jobs, I wouldnt be able to ride Diamondback. How is it Unprofessional? Its doing what you can to create an Enjoyable experience for the Guest? That sounds like professional to me
  18. I agree with a few posts on here. The more and more I look at it, The more I think that SOB's station will be Utilized with this new Ride. Don May have said that is the Home for WolfPack, but he did not say thats ALL They are going to use it for. Its too nice a Building and Set up in a Very Unique way.. Not to Metion the Reuse of Vortex/The Bats Station, Granted that was quite a while back, but it shows it can be done.. Plus it would save a Little bit of Money. Granted not much, But every little bit helps..
  19. While On Backlot Stunt Coaster on Monday Morning.. Guy in Seat behind mine: "Oh Man That was Awesome!! I wish they would put the water back in!" Me: "(Thinking this guy had some knowledge) Do you remember if there was an actual Spashdown on this like on Diamondback?" Guy: " I dont think since its been Here. This RIde was moved here from Some park in Kentucky.." Me: (Subconciously rolling my eyes) "Oh yeah? Which one, do you know?" Guy: "Im Not Sure, I think some Park in Louisville.." Me: "(Playing the Game) Oh, Kentucky Kingdom? I think The Vortex was Moved here from that park.." Guy: "No, That was at Cedar Point before they moved it here..." .. I just Moaned and Walked away...
  20. This Raises the question, Why do Giga Coasters (For the Most part Anyway) Do Not have Inversions? Is the fact that its a Giga make it thrilling enough that it doesnt need Inversions or is it a Mechanical thing?
  21. You did forget to mention McSalsa that the recaR (Backwards Racer) is no more. Which Personally, I hate.
