I agree. They should have just left it the way it was. LOL. I miss my backwards Racer.

I rode SOB in 6-1 in the Blue Train. I actually felt it was a little smoother. But it was very forceful in the rose bowl, but I managed to hold my hands up for the entire ride. But I have noticed the red train is smoother then the blue train. Still like that this year?

Yeah, and the storage bins in the stations are also on the wrong side now. They have the Blue on on the Red Side, and the Red one on the Blue side. I think they should have had The Red Racer on the old Forwards Side, and The Blue Racer on the old Backwards side. LOL!

Good for them. I'm a smoker and don't have a problem using the areas. But what I hate is when someone with a lit cigarette walks by an employee and they don't say a thing to them.

Kings Dominion already had there FoF closed. Cedar Fair however reopened it midway thru the season after the bought the parks.

Yes the new placement of the ORP camera on SOB caught me off guard today as well. But I like the change and this is a much better place for it. Way to go KI.

Yes I also notice The Beast squeaking really bad today. More grease please. LOL.

I did see two things from the Paramount days today in the park. Next to phone at Vortex it still says Paramount's Kings Island on the list of rides phone #'s. Also in Juke Box Diner they still had a little sign up to the left of the first register that said Paramount Parks and it was taking about the guest servery which went away several years ago. LOL

For the ones who know me, notice anything different? LOL

It's my B-day too tomorrow. My 28th B-day. LOL. That's me.

12 hours and counting. YAY!!!

What about the front of the trains? Do they say Flight Deck or are they blank?

They are great photos. Only 19 hours and 14 minutes. I probably won't sleep tonight. LOL

I'm sure our map will look the same. They made them look like Cedar Fair style maps. We will all see what the 2008 map looks like in less then a week.

Even though I'm disappointed, I still want to ride Red Racer.

Yes they just changed the lettering. The Invertigo logo at CGA had always looked very smilier to the Face/Off logo.

Sorta like what they were before. Kinda cool, I like it.

I'll be at KI on opening day.

http://www.visitkingsisland.com/events/events.cfm?ec_id=27 Look there. I am willing to bet that that CF pass benefits was made before all of the benefits were final.

I remember working math and science day in 2001, and being the only driver for Action Theater, now that wasn't much fun. At least the second one in 2001 we had more employees working, and we actually got to rotate between our 2 rides.

Yes, you can get into all of the Cedar Fair parks with that pass. Plus you get free parking at all Cedar Fair parks.

Usually it was all rides minus Nick U. Not sure if this will change for 2008 since the park is open to the general public every Friday in May, from 10am till 10pm.

I agree a name is just a name. At least they didn't call it Rollercoaster 1, Rollercoaster 2 etc. LOL

Anyone else notice in that pic, that it appears they are riding the bars up?

Be nice to be able to get a Mountain Dew while inside KI. LOL
