  1. I got first public train on Vortex in my favorite seat as well, 7-1.
  2. From what I've seen they'll still have their usual fare as well. From what I could tell yesterday, they do nothave the usual fare at Hanks anymore, I thought orginally they were going to keep the fish and srimp but apparently not.
  3. Ya I saw that, Big section of the floor is dug up.
  4. Do you have pass ID card from last year? If so they can use that same ID for this years pass without getting your picture retaken, or you can take advantage of the instant renewal.
  5. Ya I'm a little disapointed that they added the opition after I drove 2 hours down to the park and 2 hours back home from the park to get my Platinium Pass renewed.
  6. That picture of Flight Commander is not the actually Flight Commander that was at KI. Now the one that they show them doing the investagion on after the lady fell out was the Flight Commander at KI.
  7. Yeah they are no way to view on ride photos on the internet.
  8. Timberwolf was there in that picture, also yes the picture was when the ride was named Amazon Falls. I still miss that name.
  9. And they didn't even start with Daily Operation till the end of May! Daily Operation starts May 11th this year, so really it ends up to be the same amount of time!
  10. 1987 was the first year for me to ever visit Kings Island. Also anyone else notice the Operating Calander? Open till 11pm even during Pre and Post Season Saturdays, and 10pm every other day!
  11. Actually they used to have Mexian food over by WWC, where they now serve Worlds Greatest Funnel Cakes. It was called Taco Canteen or something long those lines!
  12. Yes Skylab was removed during the 1992 season, I heard they had to ship parts back to Germany to get repaired, however Skylab did return early summer of 1993.
  13. Tomb Raider has not been gone for 7 years. The ride wasn't renamed The Crypt until the 2008 season.
  14. Witches Wheel is not the same model of enterprise that Skylab was. Skylab had much bigger cars then what Witches Wheel as Cedar Point has.
  15. Yes the picture of Vortex being repainted was indeed 2001, I was apart of The Vortex/Action Theater crew in 2001.
  16. That's actually funny, that what Kings Island said about Face/Off when it opened in '99. Scream your face off on Face/Off.
  17. Yes I know they didn't have extra paint from Dorney Park, I was making a joke.
  18. They must have had left over paint from Dorney Park, it looks just like Stinger the old Invertigo from CGA, that is now at Dorney Park!
  19. King Cobra was put in before Paramount owned the park. The colors mimic those of the coaster's namesake: However Paramount was the one who repainted King Cobra, and Shockwave. So Paramount is the one who had a thing for different colored rails. King Cobra's orginal colors was Yellow Rails, with Green supports and spine!
  20. Wasn't one of them in the Cinema 180 Theater building, I want to think it was Star Trek!
  21. Vortex was the Coaster that started it all for me. I rode it opening year, when I was only 7 years old, back in 1987.
