I just read this now, I wish I would have read it back then, cant believe it took me this long. I am glad you had a great time and congratulations on that 300th ride on Vortex! -stashua123

You start speculating on what the park is going to add for the next season already even though the park has yet to open up for the current season.

Well I was wayyyyyy off That makes much more sense, thanks!

Maybe they are relocating the family dryer to near the WWC entrance?

This is big news, and it shows that they cannot fight the pressure anymore from the general public and activists. I hope phasing this out and new management finally sets SeaWorld on the right path.

I am one of the weird ones that considers The Racer two credits instead of one. But thats just my opinion.

I hope I see you too!

Yeah I was searching for a job I would think would be a lower stress job.

My top three choices were Admissions Associate, Park Associate(Sweeper) and Entertainment Usher.

I always like your cryptic bumps!

I have decided to take the next step and have applied to Kings Island for this season, I hope I get the job, I think I will like it!

I think they are probably listing what the capacity would be like if it ran three trains, as of right now they only run 2 trains on any given day, I have been on very crowded days but have yet to see a third train on Adventure Express.

That is a good idea as scanning your season pass takes less time than buying for parking, good idea Kings Island! *Shouts to my mother* Another reason to get me a Platinum Pass, I can get experience what its like being a stunt car driver!

Sure that would be nice. Do what Rey did to that Storm trooper.

Intimidator 305 did not intimidate you?

The 'clan' and I are heading up for the first full week in June, which has always been really good to us. Crowds are thin, weather is usually quite nice (though heed Terp's warning - it can be unpredictable and quite (! 50°) cool - bring a fleece. It's much cheaper to stay off-property, but I hate driving in the crowd so we eat the almost-double price of the hotels. I tried Lighthouse Point and found it lacking for the money - we're booked at Sandcastle again this year. Platinum gets you some deals on munchies, we use the free fries and 2 drinks with the purchase of chili-cheese fries at the Happy Friar. Loved the sausage deal at the brat wagon a couple of years ago but they killed that one. Cooler and a long walk is the best way to save there. Have a great trip - you'll love it! Thanks! I hope you have a great trip as well! My mom is still looking into a Platinum Pass for this year, but I need some more convincing on my part, any help anyone? Thanks! -Josh

Kentucky Kingdom is not big enough to compete with Kings Island...... yet. If it has a good year and can survive that could be a possibility. One could look at 1999-2000 at Kings Island, which the 50 Million Dollar expansion was thought of/rumored as a preemptive strike against Six Flags for its plans for a huge expansion at Kentucky Kingdom. Kings Island could very well if they wanted to add a new rollercoaster or start a huge expansion next year, but the question is, ROI? Holiday World added a new first of its kind B&M Launched Wing Rider last year. This year Kentucky Kingdom is adding a first of its kind RMC roller coaster, which for those do not know it is RMC's first all steel roller coaster since Twisted Twins had steel supports. Next year? Who knows what Kings Island has up its sleeve.

They actually posted another one but they removed it a few minutes later. I snipped it as I thought it was interesting. Snipped from Kings Island's Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/visitkingsisland/?fref=photo

Wonder what this means. The Beast is awakening! I thought it was something else at first, like a teaser. EDIT: Video Removed on Facebook page.

I agree with you(Sorry I just noticed you responded! ) TrOy. I have to cross my legs every time I ride either The Beast or The Racer because they do not at all give almost any space on the right or left side of the train for your legs.. I wish they would change that somehow.

Okey dokey! But is it too late for the trains to work? (Example: Gwazi?)

Or especially Racer. Racer would become a stellar attraction again with new PTC trains and a greater lighting package!

I guess I agree with you. And my body would too. Racer and The Beast are so uncomfortable to fit in.

I guess I only like those trains for the nostalgia factor. Would you be ok with them changing the trains on The Beast?

A GCI Renovation like with Ghost Rider would be very welcome on any KI Wooden Rollercoaster.............................. And please do not remove a renovated ride after only 2 years of being renovated. *glares at Carowinds* Paint would be nice like a Rebel Yell type renovation! I do not know though as long as they do not change the trains, I would be fine with any renovation. I think a Ghost Rider type renovation would probably be more welcome on Mean Streak, and that is what I think they will do with it somehow. We first need to hear how much better Ghost Rider is though. I personally would love a Giga Rollercoaster to be next but I would probably love a new awesome wooden roller coaster just as much!
