You must, however, wear shoes to ride Diamondback. No bare feet allowed. Why does Diamondback require shoes anyway?I believe it is in case an evacuation is necessary. The terrain back there is pretty unfriendly to bare feet.

Stratosoar is a dead trademark and hasn't been renewed for some time now.

White Water Canyon has shelves at the loading platform to store your stuff. Don't be cheated by foolishly buying a locker. Log Flume will be fine without a locker as long as you keep the important bags in the back seat.

Wouldn't you want to find your luggage first?

Millennium Force and Magnum might have a better and faster crew than Diamondback because, to use your words, Cedar Point is about capacity and Kings Island is about the experience.

You just answered your own complaint. Why go on a MCBR rant when you recognize it's the employees' fault?

Where to begin... I think I'll just sum up my thoughts in two sentences: This is not normal. The crew is at fault, not the ride.

^Darn it. Massacre Manor was one of my favorites. That's one more original Haunt gone.

I understand that, but how does a storage building signify the return of a Haunt attraction?

There is nothing significant in that photo.

Wheel seats in the front third of the train are good, but when you get closer to the back it is just unbearable. I rode in 4-3 a week or two ago and it was horrendous. Front seat or middle row for me.

Thank you for the trip report! I really wish I could have attended. The FoF tour sounded awesome!

That doesn't mean that announcement will pertain to the new attraction. After all, we were largely fooled by the Brady and autograph signing announcements.

Ooh plot twist. I like it.

I really liked those photos of Firehawk. That's a really neat view. Thanks for posting. I'm sad I couldn't make it, but that's the way life goes sometimes. Hopefully I can make it to the next event!

I like Beastie's hat. Can anyone do a left-right breakdown of who the people in that picture are?

I think ginkgo trees. The park allegedly stopped trimming them when they found the trees were dying because of it.

wow. Now I feel like an idiot saying "no confusions have been made!"

The lasers in Flight of Fear no longer work but they do have the rotating security light just out of the hanger consistently working now.

Kings Island currently has a roller coaster incorporating water. It is located in Rivertown. That doesn't mean it can't happen again.

At this point, Fast Lane is on all rides except Planet Snoopy, White Water Canyon, and Congo Falls. The program is in it's second year at the park, and so far, no "confusions" have been made.

I'm actually quite partial to the B&M pretzels...

The loop on Firehawk is one of my favorite elements. Ever.

I'm surprised it took this long to get this bad.

Dont forget the new sand volleyball courts in Soak City. I believe they had rec leagues last year.You can't even compare a sand volleyball pit to a baseball field. What is Kings Island going to do, form a baseball league?
