Ride On_17

I'm agreeing with Spectrum91, the trains shown in the renderings are facing the correct direction (as in going right to left over the crest). I'm not sure if it's because some of you are looking on these pictures on small cell phone screens that you're thinking the train is facing the opposite way, but enlarged on my computer screen, all of the renderings show the trains correctly positioned.

These rides just sound...crazy. This Jersey park has had its share of fatalities and injuries, unfortunately. http://www.themeparktourist.com/features/20140403/17278/16-craziest-attractions-most-dangerous-theme-park-all-time Definitely not quite such a Great Advencha. I'll stick with El Toro.

For all of you complaining about DB getting seat belts if this rumor is true, I have an idea that might make you reconsider how you are viewing this as a negative. Personally if this happens, I don't see them as like a normal seatbelt like, let's say, Millennium Force where it crosses over your lap. Instead, I'm thinking of something more like, let's say Gatekeeper, where it doesn't actually go across your body but rather connects the restraints to the car. I could see DB's seat belts being attached to the ride car itself, with slots to lock them into place (sorry for lack of a technical term) attached to the clamshell lapbar. So it would just be another backup just in case for some reason the lap bar would fail. Having a seat belt like this would also allow for people to still fit and not have their airtime diminished since it will not actually come in contact with your body. Just my two cents.

I couldn't help but laugh at the quote underneath the picture. "A good roller coaster is better than sex." Seeing as it was the very first thing I read when I opened that link, I started to question what exactly I was going to be reading.

I never got to see it when it had lights on it but it sounds like it looked awesome. Hopefully some will be added to it.

I love riddles, clues, mysteries, and that kind of stuff so speculation for new additions at amusement parks is really fun for me. I love trying to analyze every littler detail, whether to a crazy, unrealistic level or not, to try and decipher what is being built.

Cedar Point also tweeted that vertical construction had started on Lake Erie Eagles today, and gave a cool picture. https://twitter.com/cedarpoint/status/448803287488561152/photo/1 Can it be May 10th yet?

I'll definitely be trying it.

I still have yet to try those.

The Off Season Photo Contest.

That would be a great idea. Likewise with Cedar Point. Several years ago when Carly Rae Jepsen performed on the Luminosity Stage, I was hoping that would be the start of a series of concerts at the park. I've been disappointed that there have been no other major concerts like that since. (excluding Point Fest)

As for this new ride, I still have no clue what it could be. The more I think about, the more I believe the Drop Tower theory. Something way taller than Zumanjaro would definitely grab people's attention and would get thrill seekers excited, especially if it's several hundred feet higher. I still think it will be a coaster though, since this is being announced so early, but I could be wrong. I can't wait for April 8th.

We just happened to be at the park last year while Spirit Song was going on. Besides enjoying a great concert while being on Drop Tower, from that vantage point it was clear that the entire amphitheater was filled. I doubt it will be going anywhere anytime soon.

I've never been on this type of ride before...even with all the times I've been to CP, I've never gone on RipCord. I really want to go on one though. They sound like they're unlike anything else and provide such a unique thrill. And Xtreme Skyflyer's new paint looks great!

When you get followed by MaXound Paint Rave on Twitter. Yep, I'm totally planning on going to a rave soon. And one with neon paint. I hate when I get followed by random people/groups. But they usually correspond to what I tweet about which I find creepy. Like in this case, I just tweeted about having a fun night cosmic bowling and immediately after, I get followed by some paint rave. I guess they somehow saw I tweeted about cosmic bowling and assumed "Oh, this person must like bright neon things and having fun, so let's follow him." It's almost like these pages are stalking people and following whoever posts anything slightly related to their subject. Occasionally I end up following back the page the followed me if it's Ohio State or amusement park related, but I have one simple solution for all the others: Block!

Yep, KI posted the picture on their Twitter. The map is being discussed in this thread.

That's what was being discussed in several posts above yours.

I just posted this in the Banshee Construction thread but since it applies here too... "If you enlarge the map and look closely I think it looks like a shaded area, sort of like what is near Gatekeeper (by the Coke Freestyle and Yogurt Plus stores). I also find it interesting how this one sort of resembles a spiderweb...Adds to the whole creepy/dark feel of this area with Banshee and The Bat nearby too." I'm not sure whether the lockers will be here of it it will just be a seating area. I'm hoping for the latter but then I'm not sure where the lockers will be.

It may still be there now...But there are still several weeks until April 18th...Plenty of time to knock down a building...

Kings Island has officially posted the 2014 map on Twitter! https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/447094355262590976/photo/1

Between what my mom has my told me, what my friends who go there tell me, and from my own experiences so far, the campus really does become very small very quickly. I also heard how quickly college seems to go by (if high school is any indication as to how fast it will go by, I can certainly believe them.) Between TBDBITL, the roller coaster engineering club, the updated buildings, a strong engineering program, a beautiful campus, and many, many more great things, I am just in love with OSU and with what it offers, especially relating to my interests. Something interesting my friend told me is that he's never had a bad day while at Ohio State. He said that sure, there are times when he doesn't feel like doing some work or doesn't feel like going to a certain class, but never has he been truly unhappy with his decision to go to school there. He said there is always something to do or somewhere to go, and he never gets bored. Plus with a college like OSU, I'll be able to find a nice balance between fun and academics which is very important to me. I will take my classes very seriously, but also need to have convenient and frequent social activities too. Plus it's such an active lifestyle there. I love all the walking, jogging, and biking. I'll be taking visits to OU, Miami, BG, and Cincy for sure and will go in with an open mind, but so far Ohio State is above and beyond everything I'd want for college.

Too bad it never quite caught on like #selfie. I can imagine it now... I've got so much swag right now after riding that roller coaster. #keyholing

TWISTYYYY!

It could be possible....But I think it will be a coaster. I just have absolutely no clue what it will be.
