Bought one, immediately got an email saying there was a glitch and if I wanted my money back as they would be charging me $18. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I’m Writing the First KI History Book!

I want a signed hardcopy! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -
I did Blackout yesterday and it was...well Blackout without Scareactors. A warning/spoiler to anyone who does NOT like being scared at all: there is a moment where an animatronic "snake", for lack of a better word, will jump out at your feet. It actually kind of hurt[emoji23]. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Looks like the catwalk is up for what they have done for the lift hill. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Vortex Is Leaving After This Fall Season
tuxedoman52 replied to THE_BEASTmaster's topic in Kings Island
I wonder if there will be any references to Vortex's demise in the theming of Orion? That would let us know that the closing of Vortex was likely in the plans all along. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -
Vortex Is Leaving After This Fall Season
tuxedoman52 replied to THE_BEASTmaster's topic in Kings Island
Absolutely shocked to hear this. I second that this feels like a joke. We all talked about it for years, but seemed so sure it would be around longer. This will always, always, always hold a special place in my heart as the coaster that got me into inversions. Rest in piece, Vortex. You will be missed. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe what is now the exit for The Bat was previous split into 3 paths: The Bat exit, and the SOB entrance/exit. That would serve as to why there are now concrete fillings where path railings used to exit. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Can confirm that Racer 75 (RY) does have a syncing lift hill. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Speaking of Heart Attack, not the best name for a ride located where a man unfortunately had one on Firehawk... Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

It's funny someone mentioned the spears working this year. Growing up, AE was my go to ride. While I don't ride it every visit nowadays, this year was the first time I EVER noticed the spears before the first lift hill. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

If I go to Kings Island later on today and scan my pass for parking, then completely leave and come back later on, can I reuse my pass for parking? I have a platinum pass. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I personally don't have a problem with sitting next to people I don't know. Did it lead me to sit next to a little girl who never rode FoF? Yes. Did it lead me to sitting next to a really interesting guy on Diamondback who vaped in line and every other word out of his mouth was an obscenity? Sure. But it didn't ruin my day.

Diamondback and maybe Backlot (correct me if I'm wrong) had single rider lanes until July 2011, when FastLane was introduced. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Will I have a hard time riding rides at the park?
tuxedoman52 replied to EmilySuzanne888's topic in Kings Island
If you fit on everything at Cedar Point, you will generally be able to fit on everything at Kings Island no problem. Your husband, on the other hand, may have trouble on Diamondback, Banshee, and Flight of Fear. Everyone is different though. Good luck! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -
1. Ride Invertigo (Completed 4/20) 2. Ride Banshee outside of rows 4 & 5 for the first time in a couple years (Completed 4/20) 3. Check out the Antique Cars (Completed 4/20) 4. Eat at the "new" restaurant by MT (Completed 4/20) 5. Make at least 20 visits this year (5 at Soak City) Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

As I recall, CoasterDynamix only has the 4 across B&M trains available, so if you were able to recreate DB's staggered seating that would be cool. Good luck! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

KI lets slip plans for 2019 exist on IG today?
tuxedoman52 replied to BruceWayneWins's topic in Kings Island
Exactly. We're still waiting for "The Big One". It'll be obvious when we're getting the giga. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk -

tuxedoman52 replied to BruceWayneWins's topic in Kings Island
I saw this too. Probably just teasing at this point. We haven't seen many signs of a new coaster around the park. I asked them when the giga was coming. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk -
Yes you can. Just take the train over or you can walk to and from. Just remember that proper attire needs to be worn on the dry side (shirt, shorts, shoes, etc.). Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I know GCI has done some retracking in the past, but what about a complete overhaul from GCI? Doesn't lose anything from what it was, just a smoother, more enjoyable experience. I wouldn't go as far as putting Millennium Flyers on it, but maybe the new articulating PTC trains. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

The Ridiculous Record Thread
tuxedoman52 replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Great Pumpkin Coaster has also had 4 different names through its 25 years. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk -
^Agreed. The Beast is smoother now than ever (14 years experience of riding). Yes, there are rough spots and seats, but nothing like SOB (Note: I was 8 when I last rode SOB). Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Final ride of the Season (Winterfest excluded)
tuxedoman52 replied to Gannersdaddy's topic in KI Polls
I have ended my year with a lights-on final train run on FoF but I didn't make it back there in time. I was sitting on DB's brake run for what seemed like hours as I watched 6:53 turn into 6:59, thus crushing my chances. I do believe I was on the last non-ERT train on Diamondback. -
Just a quick comment on the term, "GP". Without them, we wouldn't have a park. Also, just because someone doesn't share the same enthusiasm for a specific topic (coasters in this case) doesn't mean you trash them. That makes the whole "community" look bad. It makes me sick when I see the GP referred to in a negative way. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I thought that PTC did offer articulating trains now. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
