Too much planning..walk around have fun

I was thinking the TCU Fighting Frog I kid

I mean until I hear more about CW Wonder Mountain Guardian, this takes the cake. I mean, two launches, few seconds of airtime, some nice laterals in the helix, neat theming/music, then kinda creepy too. Then a BBW homeage finale. The building is huge I'm sure something like this could go in there, it would be a fantastic addition to the park IMO. The drop track deal is very intriguing to me as well.

Or a Verbolten..first time riding it soon..I still miss BBW though

I was ganna say I doubt you're hearing the Band Organ...You'd be able to hear that quite a bit away.. -
Rides must be balanced at all times. This is done to prevent extra stress in the rides, also it may cause an issue with the ride. See Power Tower for a great example. If you place riders on the North of the tower only on shot sides the proxies aren't hit up top because it's not balanced, the ride sets up and e stops high. Takes about ten minutes to get down. WindSeeker being a much more dramatic prototype I'm sure suffers even more balancing issues considering. Balancing is important. Ride ops are following protocols for reasons when they tell you to do something do it. There's always a reason regarding our instructions. We don't tell you to do something just to do it. There's purpose in our decisions and requests

I may come down for this..we shall see.

Those pistons look like the hydraulic dampeners at the bottom of the ride that support the gondola at the bottom/act as a failsafe
-
How about join other members and split them in half I'm always down for a good rack

Excuse you I know exactly who you're talking about, he's on the crew this year as well. He hasn't been that dramatic since last year but I hope he does bring it back.

Fudge is there, and it's pretty good. Buckeyes are spot on IMO

About time KI gets involved again in those, one of the few awesome things I'd like to steal from CP and bring down to KI

BCS..All I think is body cavity search. I highly doubt you received a full body cavity search -
Tomorrow will be a put the car on the lift, swap MTF fluid, bleed brakes, and replace a few wheel studs kind of day for me.. I hate brake fluid btw, one of the nastiest substances ever

Terp has insisted on moving, a new home perhaps? Maybe a new Snickers factory?

If Firehawk operated as intended and demonstrated by the manufacturer, it would have a higher capacity.

Small things that need changed at Kings Island.

It did look great, however last year, terrible. After it's removal I never realized how big that area really was, I see alot of potential things there ride wise or small attractions there. I hope to see it utilized at some point in the future. -
He's such a master of the Nunchaku

If I ever see an Uncle Ruckus in the park, I think I might just keel over laughing

So on a military base when you have to drive through a checkpoint in a broken area of barbed wire and barrier gaps, surrender an ID, posess no weapons other than possibly a small credit card sized knife, have active barriers, armed personnel with multiple high powered weapons, can be searched at a moments notice and detained without any warning is easier than an airport? At an airport all I do is walk in, show an ID and a ticket, take shoes off, walk through a metal detector and get my bags searched, after that I've never been bugged, sure theres security walking around but nothing like a military base Like I said completely ignorant comment -
I get above that, but the amount of things I have to go through being on a .mil network is ridiculous.
