Invertigo Down
Invertigo is down today. Question, has anyone ridden the one in Idaho?

Fast Lane Price Raise?
Its been raised at Cedar Point as well. It is either doing so well that they believe raising wont affect the purchases or they are in need of more money.

Which ride would you get rid of?
I have to agree with that statement Alex bro~ I cant stant the feel of my kidney area after a ride on Mean Streak

Delirium Acting strangely?
Delirium obviously hasnt been in operation since before we were there at the end of June. It was down the 2 days we were there. They tested it once. It swung twice and then it made a loud noise and the breaks brought it back.

First Roller Coaster
My First Roller Coaster was the Big Dipper at Camden Park. I literally grew up right across the street from the park.

July 4th crowds
Well in my opinion, the crowds wont be any different than a normal midweek because of the temps but Soak City will certainly be packed. I was going to come this week but may wait till next week.

Fast lane treatment
We have ridden The Vortex 5 times today and I asked the last time to go to front and was told very rudely no we need you to fill the lanes in the back. I told him no and left. I am no longer riding Vortex

Fast lane treatment
Wait time at 1pm with all cue lines open except for platform front took about 15 minutes

Fast lane treatment
I know this topic is always out there and I have no problem with the program at all. What I have a problem with is what I am seeing right now on Vortex. They are only allowing the Non Fast Lane people go on the last 4 cars. The front 3 are fast pass only. Anyone but me think this is a bit harsh?

What`s next for Son of Beast?
Wow Coastergeek had a nerve that was hit with these statements! I am not going there with what i think about SoB. Just cant figure out why a multi million dollar structure is sitting there.

For those of us who visit CP check this out
With the X-Flight having rave reviews in Chicago, seems only fitting that Ouimet would get the "coaster" wars going again. I know I am going to hear it for that term but honestly, Cedar Point loves to have its name in lights and the flagship park for Cedar Fair better have something new to hang its hat on other than Mille. Mille will one day lose its luster for certain fans

Son of Beast

It's time for KI to get a new front gate!
Nice Sketch. A Roman Coloseum look would be kool but I am not sure if its the right theming for the area. Kings Island seems to me more of a German type of a themed park (Not that there is any themeing left)

Drink specials at KI
I actually did this the second weekend the park was open. My son and I just bought a drink wristband and a big souvenier cup. We drank out of it all day. We had to have filled it up at least 6 times. (I know way to much pop you are saying) I agree but we dont often drink it anyway.

Best Memorial Day experience

Hows invertigo and flight of fear like?
Well it just depends on what you like as a coaster enthusiast! Flight of Fear is a launched coaster that is surprisingly smooth and gives a great ride. Lots of twists and turns and even a roll at the end! Makes you feel like you are on a space ship that has been hit. The launch sound makes people frightened but its not bad at all. Ride waits for this ride can be extremely long in the middle of the day. Try and get this one early in the morning. Invertigo is a great ride if you like the face to face coaster feeling and going backward. This can be jerky for first time riders but if you like Vortex than you will like Invertigo. The line for this ride can be long so i would try and get this one early or late

Early Ride Times
I was there the 2nd weekend at like 8:45 and was 1st in line because of the rain and the ticket takers came out and started singing and then doing the wave and then high fiving everyone up and down the lines. They told me it was a new tradition they were starting. I totally agree with you that it makes it seem they love their job and make everyone feel welcome. I have left after ERT and the stamper has asked me if something has happened or was i not satisfied...I just laughed and left.

Early Ride Times
Thats what I am talking about!!!! I am totally jealous, that would be the life, wake up ride the coaster, then go to work.

Crazy/awesome things people at Kings island wear/have
Saw a couple of guys standing in line for the Firehawk who had Batman and Robin outfits on. Literally had the capes and masks and everything. They told everyone that Firehawk was their flying lessons.
