Again, I find myself saying this..... Until the parks actively police YouTube, and other video posting sites, and requests any unauthorized videos to be removed, this will continue. Remove the forum and the problem resolves itself. If there isn't a way to get those "likes" the motivation goes away. And as others have mentioned, why watch a shaky blurry video, when almost all rides have a high quality authorized POV readily available?

Hurler at KD, once was enough. Invertigo, made the mistake of giving it a second chance.

It seems I will be in the minority, but I hope they do remove the trees. It looks so much better with just the hedge work, to me. It would also allow a much better view of the fireworks, while still enjoying the light show on the I-street buildings. I remember July 4th in particular, not being able to find a spot to see everything without a tree in the way.

KIC news thread clearly says "tentative"

I wasn't aware the park had released the dates for CoasterStock.

Still have it in the collection.

Screamin Demon, as I understand, opened at KI. Then was moved to Angola and rebranded Afterburner.

Always sad to see any coaster go. I'm sure there are those who love it, and for them, I feel bad. I'll leave it at that.

Sadly, you're probably right. The economy is ramping up, and an unscrupulous investor may see an opportunity.

Pin is easy, it was first. And it didn't have assist from terrain. And I don't understand why first can even be debated?

Only if you let it. Life is full of ebb and flow. I've found myself exited about getting a Big Mac, but had to bail on the line because I had to get to work on time. Expectation vs reality is something we all have to deal with. In my experience expectation is always a +%10 over reality, but I'm an optimist, lol

You mean like no one? Vortex should truly already have one of those seemingly coveted plaques from ACE. When it opened in 1987, it held 3 records. It was the tallest drop, steepest drop, and most inversions. There was a time when people rode roller coasters for the thrill they provided. A roller coaster was defined by the intensity of the experience, not by the virtual "ride" from YouTube on your couch. I'll take a ride on Vortex over Fury325 any time the choice is given. Maverick? a discussion will be had.

attraction or distraction, fine line. Mustang Sally!

I respectfully disagree. Any removal costs someone memories, or a coaster they personally love. In this case, both for me.

Sigh, 4 row PTC's, buzz bars, no head rests.....at least the helix is still there.
