Saturday the 14th Trip Report
I guess you can say it was more of a stutter. He started to say you and it ended up like ya-you.

Saturday the 14th Trip Report
I don't have any pictures, but I'll try to recap my day to the best of my ability. So I started off my day by arriving at the park at 9:30. where I took advantage of ERT and rode The Beast two times. I was shocked to find out it was already 10:00 when I got off the second time. I then headed to Flight of Fear, where I got on and off in about 7-8 minutes. Then I headed to Firehawk and that's when the rain started. We waited about 30 minutes, before being allowed to go into the station. There was about six of us in the station. Me, my friend Rick and 4 others who I didn't know. I had a nice chat with one of the ride ops about the old Flight Commander and we probably talked for about 30 minutes. Then finally it was just us and two others that were in the station. So we decided to ditch Firehawk and go to Zephyr. We got one ride in and then headed to The Racers. I was angered when I found out that they were only running one train on the Blue Side because of the rain delay. But it was only about a 30 minute wait, so it wasn't the end of the world. So, we then headed to the Scrambler to get a ride in and then we headed to the Festhaus. I enjoyed the American Country show (I know I didn't get the name right), but one of the guys botched his line. It wasn't that big of a mistake and I wouldn't have done any better. Then we headed to Flight Deck and got one ride in. My friend had to go, so I played out the rest of the day solo. I went to the Viking's Fury and found out it had broken down. So I went over to Vortex and got on in about 45 minutes, which is pretty good. After that I went to The Racer one more time and then Diamondback. Overall the trip was nice, but I wasn't a big fan of the rain. It wasn't a huge loss though, I'll be at the park probably eight more times this year, so it's not like I had to ride very coaster. I stayed at the park from 9:30 to 6:00, so it was a pretty decent day. And well that wraps up my report.

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
Half of my family is water dummies, that is on my wife's side. But even though I doubt it will happen, wouldn't it be great if WindSeeker could magically open tomorrow.

Abandoned Park: Joyland, Kansas
Wow, that reminds me a lot of Idora. Hopefully the park can be bought out and reopen. But like Indyguy said it would take a lot to get it back in shape.

I was distracted by all the lights.

New Webcam at KI Website
I always liked the I-Street cams.

Any problems with renewed passes?
When I handed my pass to the attendant in the parking lot, she said my pass was from 2009 and then when I went to get into the park, it was fine.

Opening Day
I was ticked when we were about to get on The Racer and it stopped on the lift.

Kings Island Opens Saturday! "American Country" to Debut!
Kings Island used to stick with the German theme, then all these fast food chains came to the park.

Kings Island Opens Saturday! "American Country" to Debut!
I usually don't pay attention to the shows, but it's good entertainment when you're eating and when it's raining.

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
Wow, those lights are going to look amazing. And, Coney Mall already looks a lot better with the pavers put in.

New Kings Island TV Commerical
Well, maybe we'll get lucky and the commercial will be lost in a parallel world, where coasters shoot out of kid's knuckles.

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
The weather is supposed to be really crappy. It's supposed to rain until Thursday. So even if it gets finished it will be cutting it close and I don't think they'll have time for testing.

Lady GaGa Amusement Park?
The next Hard Rock Park.

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
I haven't had any problems yet.

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
Keep your phone and/or iPod in your pockets, then the other stuff that isn't valuable can go in the bag... It seems to work well on coasters and other rides.

Or you could just leave your stuff near the fence.

Fridays at KI
Think around 1.5 hours for the popular rides and maybe 10 minutes for the lesser popular rides. But I'm just taking a wild guess, so I'm not saying that will be the wait times.

Quassy: Wooden Warrior from TGG!
This coaster will really help out the park. I used to go to Quassy every summer, but now that KI is a short walk away, I barely go anymore.

What`s next for Son of Beast?
I believe the title means the same thing, just it has a little more "pizazz" in it.

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
I wonder why it took you guys only a couple of hours, while I spent a whole day at Delirium.
-
What`s next for Son of Beast?
Whatever happens to SOB, will affect the next season, or even a couple seasons after that.

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
It will be done, unless something happens and the whole tower collapses. Plus, it won't take them long to train, maybe a day or two max. It only took me a day to learn Delirium inside out.
