  1. ^How'd you get that Spoiler thing?
  2. Now that I think about it, don't we have a topic that asks the same question? Edit: Yup. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/25837-does-kings-island-need-a-new-wooden-roller-coaster/
  3. You really need to ride El Toro. Yes, I've heard about El Toro. Someday I really wish I could ride it, just to ride a smooth wooden coaster...oh, and ride Kingda Ka!
  4. It just hurts your head, that's really it. I love the ride. Not as rough as wooden coasters.
  5. Your reviews are a lot different than I'd expect - I've heard great things from Wildebeest, like best water ride, great airtime, etc. And Mammoth I heard isn't as good as it. Also, I would give Gobbler Getaway a 8. I loved it!
  6. At least one more. CoasterBob62.
  7. Soarin' was always my favorite ride, but I don't count it in my lists anymore because I haven't been on it since 2007. It gives me goosebumps, though! It's an amazing ride.
  8. 1. Transportation doesn't really take that long. But I can't really answer this question because I don't know how far your resort is from the parks; but my Hilton hotel was about 10 minutes from Magic Kingdom and the shuttle only took about 15, with several stops in between. There's a lot of traffic and then you have to pay for parking, also, you have to walk the long walk to the entrance from your car, so I would use the shuttles and if you want to, use the monorail from Magic Kingdom to Epcot (or vice versa) because it's very fast. 2. I would get a FastPass for that ride you really want to ride first thing in the morning. I got one for Space Mountain right as it opened and only waited 10 minutes for it, compared to the 70 minute. At Magic Kingdom, get a Fast Pass for both major coasters and if you want to ride a dark ride like Peter Pan, get one for that as well. Remember, you can only get one FastPass at a time, so use them wisely. At Epcot, get. a. FastPass. for Soarin'. I learned the hard way about not getting one last time. 120+ minute wait. Yikes! Use a FastPass for that right as you get there, and nothing else at Epcot is worth the FastPass. At Hollywood Studios, what I did was got a fast pass for Rock n Roller Coaster, then waited in line for Tower of Terror; by the time I finished that, my window was open for RNRC. I also used one for Star Tours because it gets very crowded and I waited 20 minutes opposed to 90. At Animal Kingdom, get one for Kiliminjaro Safaris, and that's about it. I like waiting in line for Everest, and Dinosaur never gets 30+ minute waits. Sorry for the confusing details there; if you have any questions about FastPass still, ask me. We used a lot of them on our trip! Edit: Actually, get a FastPass for Toy Story Mania. When I went, they were out by 1:00.
  9. My favorite out of all of them is definitely Tower of Terror, and in terms of dark rides (non-thrill), I like Pirates of the Caribbean the best. My favorite roller coaster is Rock n' Roller Coaster.
  10. Do people really think that it would go through it forward, then go through it backwards even faster? Sorry, but that's just stupid.
  11. I don't see anything that makes it look like it's going backwards..which video are we talking about?
  12. Nevermind, I found the videos. What really amazes me is they made videos for all the Planet Snoopy rides too!
  13. Hmm...I guess they're getting rid of Diamondback! Edit: I don't see any videos.
  14. Magic Kingdom - Space Mountain Epcot - Soarin' Hollywood Studios - Tower of Terror Animal Kingdom - Expedition Everest ...and I haven't been to Disneyland so I don't know about the rides there!
  15. Just saw this posted on Cedar Point's Facebook:
  16. No, no, no. I love Van Halen. I love the song, actually. I just don't like how it ends on Drop Tower. I mean, it's a few words then the song fades...it's kind of weird if you ask me.
  17. Hampton Inn is owned by Hilton Hotels. My dad is part of their rewards program, Hilton Honors, so we get any Hilton hotel virtually for free.
  18. I forgot to talk about the other parts of my trip! We stayed at a Hampton Inn in Corydon, IN, only about 50 minutes away (1 hour and 50 minutes including the time change). I recommend this hotel to everyone, even if it may be a bit far away. It was clean, has great service, and is next door to a mini golf, indoor mini golf, and arcade center! Saturday we went to Marengo Caves, in Marengo, IN (really?). It was my first time at a cave so it was pretty cool. They have 40 minute and 60 minute tours; we did the 40 minute. It was very interesting learning about the history and science behind the caves as we looked at some fascinating formations. Marengo Caves was really fun, and although I can't compare with other caves, I will still say I recommend you to visit this as well! After that we drove to Louisville and stayed at the Seelbach Hilton in downtown. The hotel opened in the early 1900's and definitely showed its age; our toilet was broken, a spider and a bug made their way up to the seventh floor (not sure how), and the bathtub was rusty. But, it was a very neat hotel...and if you know me from other trip reports, I love Hiltons and we never stay in any other hotel. It was literally right next to Fourth Street Live (a block with restaurants, clubs, and bars, a lot like Universal City Walk except in the middle of the city!). We ate at Gordon Biersch, got fudge and ice cream from The Fudgery, and my parents went to night clubs while my sister and I stayed in. Louisville is a very neat city, I must say. Although at Gordon Biersch, a lady asked us where we were from. We said Cincinnati and she laughed and said, "Well you have a lot more than us!" and walked away. I took that as a compliment! Unfortunately we couldn't stay another day in Louisville (I would have loved to go to the museums, zoo, etc.) so we left Sunday, and well, here we are now!
  19. Sorry for going off topic again - I wish Drop Tower's song stopped when the singing starts. Van Halen just doesn't strike me as "Scary" but the beginning piano is perfect for the ride up...
  20. I made a music video, mainly because I looked through the footage and in half of the filming my dad was yelling my name, or my sister was talking to me, etc. Haha. I pretty much just put all my footage in and added music, I didn't really feel like making it "cool" looking. Also, I know the song Holiday by Green Day's lyrics aren't really "happy", but I thought, hey, it says the word holiday, so I'll put it in there! I also made a Pilgrim's Plunge video where I just mess around with reverse and slow mo if you want me to post that as well.
  21. I actually meant to say 3rd. First is Millennium Force, second is Maverick, third is Voyage.
