Mr. America

"Cmdr. Riker, anything new at Kings Island these days?" "Midget wrestling with tazers on the ropes."

^He's right. Since the evening is just strictly Halloween Haunt, there's just one ticket price for Friday nights available. I've had friends who have had luck with getting coupons from Wendys/Taco Bell etc. to make the night for affordable. You'll want to save money so you can use it in the park. Ringside seats for midget wrestling are only 5 dollars.

Let's hear the story.

Actually, I was moreso referring to those who claimed they rode AE and could see wood rotting. I realize you get close to the ride and I understood your post on how it looks, but taking a ride on AE and claiming to be able to see the structure crumbling sounds a little too far fetched for me.

Really? A collapsing section? I don't see how anyone can make an accurate architectural assessment while riding the roller coaster nearby. Come on people.

Use it to see the Dinos that Cedar Point will make money off of. Also, there seems to be plenty of "suckers" out at King Island who clearly were "suckered" enough into the attraction making enough money that they're expanding it to another park now. Clearly, it's a very little increase in overall revenue. They should've just built a Voyage clone.

Fast Pass has not caused anyone to lose anything. It just creates an option for an added perk. Raptor Guy is a moron. Plain and simple. He has been nothing but an albatross on this site since Cedar Fair took over. First, he took credit for Winterfest coming back. I don't know why he would, that failed. So he blames it on Dick Kinzel. He claims they'd never change The Racer to have both sides forward again. They did. He said he would have that changed. It never changed. He said he'd never ride WindSeeker (but he'd ride Cedar Points) and that he was boycotting it. Now he posts about how he loves it and never said anything like that.d He threw a temper tantrum when they added Dinosaurs Alive. An optional upcharge attraction that he doesn't have to see or even visit, but somehow it's still a problem for him. Shall we even touch on the topic he made claiming Haunt was unsuccessful and morally wrong? He was responsible for planning one ACE event. I showed up and apparently wasn't on the list and was sent home packing. Raptor Guy is the reason there are stereotypes about ACErs who like Gravy in their fanny packs.

Lance is the Nostradamus of Amusement Parks. Extremely vague statements that can be interpreted literally a thousand ways and in the end people may look back and say... "ZOMG NOSTRA DAMUS LANCE WAS RIGHT!" As far as Son of Beast, I don't think they'd start in a spot that has the most trouble or where guests couldn't see, they'd start in wherever makes the best sense for construction. However, it's been pointed out in this thread before what Kinzel said about the Iron Horse treatment. Lets look at something that has been repeated ad nauseum throughout the multitude of SOB threads on this website: - Texas Giant closed in 2009, took the entire 2010 season to be converted and then re-opened in 2011. - Signs of Son of Beast construction showed up early in the 1999 season. - Signs of Diamondback construction showed up early in the 2008 season. What signs are people seeing at Son of Beast? None. The station is now a haunted house. True, it could be taken down quite quickly. Lets not kid ourselves folks, nothing significant is happening to that ride anytime soon, especially for 2012. The writing is on the walls of Wolfpack.

IMHO, it doesn't matter. That ride still sucks.

And if it is removed will you be boycotting all water fountains at KI? *Note: He will still enjoy the ones at Cedar Point.

Went to the park today and rode Flight Deck. Anyone notice that on the brake run before the train comes back to the station that they seem to have painted the ground to look like the topside of an aircraft carrier's flight deck? Kind of looks like this: http://images-mediawiki-sites.thefullwiki.org/01/2/8/1/83638494251470715.gif Nice to see that ride getting some love. The landing strip looks really cool if you ride in the front seat.

Who told the Dayton Daily News that he never missed a deadline.

I'd rather see them buy four prototype rides.

I hope KI puts an American flag on top like how CW put that Canadian flag on theirs.
