I'm doing Coasting for Kids at Kings Dominion this year. Feel free to donate to my page too! http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/agenttopher/KingsDominion

Several of my friends who work in the rides department (as supervisors) have posted on twitter and facebook that they've been test riding Diamondback, Racer among other rides.

I love this!

In certain spots, where kids usually are.

Just noticed in the Ticket's Section of the site, there is a place for meal deal, the back yard bbq.

I really like these cups, and like you, maybe they are hinting at something? Maybe a new coaster for 2013?

When I worked for the park in 2010, the prices weren't that expensive. Much cheaper than the midways. I could get chicken tenders, fries and a soda for under $6.

I agree DegenRider. Did KD have a monorail? Half of the rides looked like they were from KI.

Check out: http://www.carowinds.com/tickets/ and the Dining Plan tab. Looks like $15.99

With Kings Island's sister park, Carowinds offering a meal deal (http://www.carowinds.com/images/uploads/file/Dining%20Handout.pdf) I have to ask, do you think we could see this at Kings Island in the near future?

LMFAO I'm in the 2nd car with the orange sunglasses....wow!

I call total BS on this one. It mentioned the source was an employee who didn't have the authority to speak on the project....95% of the time, those people are wrong. When going on to SFMM's facebook page, there is not a single mention of "Full Throttle" or a 2013 project.

It's my favorite too! I really enjoyed the lights in the launch tunnel!

^^ Hate those restraints! I honestly can't remember KC and I've been to the park every year since I was 5...Oops!

Tonight, I got to go to Doug's viewing. It brought me a lot of peace and closure. I hated to say goodbye, but I did. I know that Doug is watching over us. I couldn't stop smiling when in the funeral home seeing things that were Doug. Seeing people lined up, I had stood in line for about an hour and a half, to pay their respects was just incredible seeing how many people's lives that Doug touched. I teared up when I got to the family, his mother and father asked how I knew Doug and I said I worked with him at the park. They told me that it was great to see so many people from Kings Island there and that it wasn't a summer job, it was a family. I noticed that there was a piece of The Beast (that was removed during re-tracking) with a plaque with Doug's name inscribed on it as well as the rides he was associated with. RIP Doug!

Wow that's just cool to see!

Wasn't this where character carousel is now?

I personally would welcome this back. I'm all for a more open feel. While I love trees and the shade, I-Street just seems stuffy to me.

This is so sad!!! Doug was a great guy and I enjoyed getting to know him when I worked at the park. Ryan you are correct, he never let his medical issues show and I'm so happy that I got to know him. Rest In Peace Doug!!

This is an old Geauga Lake Rocket Ship. (Found Via Google) This is one of the rocket ships being used at Cedar Point, I believe there were 2 more around the park this past Halloweekends! Found this picture off of http://flickrhivemind.net/flickr_hvmnd.cgi?method=GET&page=3&photo_number=50&tag_mode=all&search_type=Tags&sorting=Interestingness&photo_type=250&noform=t&search_domain=Tags&sort=Date%20Posted,%20new%20first&textinput=halloweekends

I would say a GIGA.....while Eagles are nice, they just aren't good for capacity.

CedarPointer they are dealing with the re-applications right now. They'll interview for new employees later on.

Sorry I'm just now seeing it! Thanks Brad for these pictures!! It looks like my baby's spalshdown needs to be really cleaned!

Your friend will be alone on the Crypt this year. All of the supervisors and those working on the ride this past season have been relocated.
