I do not have a Platinum pass, so no ERT for me. What should the crowds be like? I think we are going Thursday and Friday next week.

I completely agree. The last time I went to the park I was amazed at how bad the Backyard BBQ banner looked. At first I thought it was just the angle of the light on it but it wasn't. It's funny to me, Action Zone seems like the oldest, most outdated, and run down part of the park but it's actually the newest (excluding Planet Snoopy).

I didn't check off KIExtreme because I just don't go on it anymore. It's a shame because it's a really nice website. I also use Screamscape (everyday), and I sometimes lurk on Theme Park Review just for fun.

Thanks all for your answers and tips. I'll be taking all of them into consideration. Especially going to Pink's. May I ask, what is so great about it?

I know there are so many of these topics but I have some specific questions. My friend just asked me if I wanted to come with him to Cedar Point next week so of course I said yes, and this will be my first ever time. But I have a couple of Q's: 1. Is Mantis a must-not ride? Or should I at least try it out? 2. What rides can you skip (specifically roller coasters) without missing out on a lot? 3. Is there any difference between Delirium and Max-Air? 4. What are some must ride flats at CP? 5. Will Top Thrill Dragster freak the heck out of me (the launch looks insane )! Any other good tips would help me and my friend out (my friend and I?) when we're at the park. Like where to eat, what rides to ride first, etc. (we are staying two days so we don't really have to rush).

Inside Son of Beast's rose bowl. While that will never happen, it would be pretty cool.

It better stay apart of Gold passholders' perks, because my mom hates amusement parks and the only time I go to Kings Island is if she gets to go to the waterpark (or if someone else takes me).

Rivertown, no doubt. I love that theme. In fact almost every RCT3 park I make includes a themed area like Rivertown. If only they played music to make it really great...

Actually, now that I go back to it, my first coaster may have actually been The Barnstormer at Magic Kingdom (I used to have annual passes to Florida...when I was like 4).

There have been more downtimes than in RCT3. I think I've already said that in another topic...

Like many others, my first roller coaster was Taxi Jam. My first 48" roller coaster was Vortex, I think, (I did almost all of the 48" rides in one day), and my first 54" was Diamondback!

I grey out on BLSC at the top of the helices.

My first ride on Diamondback was a pretty crazy one. It was a Bring a Friend Day in 2009 so I brought my friend Aaron with me. I had never been on Diamondback even though I told him I had. As soon as the restraints locked down on us I said, "Aaron - I lied. I've never been on this before." He about cursed when they said "all clear" and we were all set. I was very scared, because I used to be scared of any roller coaster I was new to. The whole ride from the drop to the final brakes with screamed "OH MY GOD", over and over again. We rode it another 7, 8, 9 times? (don't remember) and our last ride, Aaron puked off the side of the final brakes. Good times, good times.

Universal needs to focus on more rides, not hotels...(talking about Universal side, Islands is great).

What's so bad about that?

Why does everyone hate Nickelback? They're a good band!

Well I don't know how they are doing economically but $69.99 is not very much money to pay to be able to go to Kings Island anytime you want and be able to go on rides early, as well as join the FUN Perks program. It should be $89.99 for the fall sale, maybe even just $79.99.

I think they need to expand the dining area where the bar is (I have no clue what it's called) because it's pretty pointless to have a band play there when there's no room for people to sit. At least that's how it was when I went. I wanted to listen to the band but there was no room to sit.

This is so strange...what is happening to KIC?

I honestly don't think it goes fast enough and I wish the height requirement for it was lower. After all, it's supposed to be a FAMILY ride.

When I was under 13 (I was under 13 when I first signed up for this site) I wouldn't care if there was an age limit on the sites. I never really understood age limits. Why are they used? Specifically for email...I signed up for my first email when I was 8 but Gmail says you have to be 14 to have one. Same with YouTube and Facebook. There's no way any kids these days are going to wait to do these things until they're 13 or 14.

I second this. I hate these posters that post false information and are somewhat trolls, but I also hate posters that make fun of others. Why can't you just ignore them?

Must you keep posting topics? Let's just make a topic called "Railroader19's Topics Topic"

What are you talking about? The sign has nothing to do with all of Action Zone.
