...and, he'll have a big briefcase full o'cash with him! Don't forget that part Of course it'll be handcuffed to his wrist and he'll have to let out a coy chuckle as the papers are being signed. ...and then he makes a quick call on his cell phone and seconds later a crane appears in the back of the park and begins the destruction of Vortex (even while stunned guests wait in the queue...) That's not even funny... Id be mad and upset.

I say a hyper, because Vortex is the tallest Steel coaster we have.

It's wasn't a stupid post. Don't be sorry.

It's always been like that. I don't think the front of The Beast ever said Paramount's Kings Island.

Wow that's alot of water.

It looked as if the tops were just a canopy. This is defently sad news. I hope the riders didn't play into this accident, by rocking the car.

I kinda hope we don't get seperators I like choosing my seat on Vortex, Beast FoF etc... One thing I could see though, we will probably see the return of greeters at alot of rides.

Sounds like to me, that Six Flags could still go under. Well we know Cedar Fair aint buying them. With 5 new parks to take on for 07 they couldn't hande anymore.

Maybe Kings Island is going to by their Flying Scooters. Maybe they finally relized the mistake of them removing them from KI. I can only wish right.

I'm sure Magic Mountains buget is way off. Look how many coasters they have bulit in the last few years. Haven't there last 2 coasters been B&M? Not the cheapest coasters.

They designed such rides such as Raptor and Mantis at Cedar Point. Chang at Kentucky Kingdom, and Top Gun at both Great America, and Carowinds to name a few.

Probably not that much earlier. As a ride operator, and open shift started at 9:15am, only 45 minutes before we opened for the day. I would think the admission people would come in at around that time if they are letting people in at 9:30am.

Glad everything is back to normal...Good work!

Well that is one good thing from PKI this year. Everytime i'm up near the main gate, I always see lots of people making written complaints at GR.

What cracks me up is. Hardly any of the effects work like they are suspose too. No more lights on the cars in the sewer, and I can't tell you how unrealistic it is, to see an exit sign while in the sewer part of the ride. They use to have lots of Fog in that part and you couldn't see them.

Anything is possible with the PKD version being shut down. But like others have said with Cedar Fair taking over anything is possible. I would hate to lose FoF it's a great ride. And let me the first to say Happy 10th B-day to Flight of Fear. Flight of Fear offically opened 10 years ago today. June 18th, 1996.

Like I have said many of times, I'm a smoker and don't have a problem going to a smoking area. I also think PKI doesn't really have the rules posted very well either. Yes it's listed in the park map, and you hear the ocassional annoucment, and it's on the butt trays in the smoking areas. But I still don't think everyone knows about the rule.

in the morning it was like that but as the day progressed it got worse and worse.. I rode Face/Off in the evening probably between 6 and 7.

Yes it depends on where you sit. I sat in 1-1 on Thursday and knees were banging so bad during the ride on that bar. I have 2 brusies now. I will never ride in the front seat again. I will stick with the middle rows for now on.

Now they need to do something about the trains. Taller people will bang their knees up pretty bad, on the grab bar in certain seats.

I only waited about 1 or 2 trains on Face/Off.

Yes I know that. I didn't say it was by Face/Off. I saw it while riding Face/Off.

LOL. Yeah I saw the Coney Mall sign sitting behind the scenes when I rode Face/Off yesterday.

It's never enforced. Why have the rule, if your not even going to enforce it?

SOB wasn't smooth yesterday. Normally in 1-1 I never felt it that rough in the front. I'm sticking to the middle of each car now. I have 2 bruises on my knees today, from yesterday's ride. My back is pretty sore too.
