The capitalization remarks are getting old, just saying.

Next New Ride?
Here's a wish list of what I would like to see in the future for Kings Island: Action Zone: Intamin Giga Coaster, Intamin Prefab Wooden Coaster, or Rocky Mountain Construction Wooden Coaster. Oktoberfest: Intamin Blitz Coaster, or Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster, to replace Adventure Express Coney Mall: Enterprise, Ferris wheel, or a Chance and Morgan Trabant. X-Base: Intamin Strata Coaster, B&M Wing Coaster, or a B&M Floor-less Coaster...Definitely add some restrooms tho. Rivertown, Flying Eagles, a Mack Rides Wild Mouse coaster inside of The old Crypt building, or something like CW The Guardian.. Soak City: ProSlide Water Coaster. International Street: Antique Cars to take up the Tower Gardens lot.

Next New Ride?
I'm happy it wasn't a B&M giga, i was perfectly content with Banshee being an Invert. The disappointment came after tearing down a multi world record wooden coaster, for a single record invert... They really had the chance to take all of the records

The business of building roller coasters
Here's a question for Don, how is it determined how much the park receives for capital investments for a coaster building year? Does Cedar Fair drawl up how much the park is bringing in, and depending on how much the parks revenue is the park is awarded a set amount of money to spend for capital that year, including the cost of the coaster?

The Bat flies again at Kings Island
Just think, brand new roller-coaster with Banshee, and a repainted Top Gun renamed The Bat on media day.. People will think Kings Island is getting 2 new coasters instead of just one.
-
Banshee Construction Progress
Is media day free for KICentral members?
-
Next New Ride?
No, just no on the B&M Flyer.
-
The Bat flies again at Kings Island
Again, I'd like to see The Bat operating alongside Banshee on media day.

The Bat broken track
I'd like to see The Bat debut alongside Banshee on media day.

Banshee Construction Progress
I think they could have done a better job for providing shade, i think nature shade from some trees would have looked much Better in the que line for the theme of Banshee, in my opinion.

Save Disney Steam
The Disney world trains have already been retrofitted to burn bio desiel fuel, back in 2007. Like Kings Island bio desiel is used to heat the boilers that create the steam for power.
-
Save Disney Steam
The Kings Island trains are steamed powered, but there boilers are heated by propane rather than wood or coal.

Diamondback Rumor
The seat belts are not necessarily to hold you in, the concept is if you fit with the seatbelt attached, the rides lap bar system should click and hold into place.. Unfortunately a passenger from texas giant which used a lap bar system similar to Diamondback failed due to the lap bar not being clicked and locked in the correct position because of the occupants size, which ultimately lead to her death. The seatbelt will help prevent from larger folks from bypassing the test seat in front of the line and trying to squeeze into the restraint.

Diamondback is currently being tested.

you can throw first of their kind out the window, it will be B&M from here on out.

Banshee Construction Progress
Im thinking the lighting package isn't going to be any more than what Gatekeeper has running on its trains,
-
Action Zone Circle
nice timing with the train running threw the course on Banshee.
-
Banshee Construction Progress
It is true the fact that there will be a trim brake on Banshee, typical B&M fashion i don't think they will build a coaster without one.

Next New Ride?
more than likely we will end up with something like Canada's wonderlands guardian, put in that shiny metal box

Next New Ride?
parts of The Racer needs retracking, its almost like strapping a jack hammer to your back and sitting on concrete at some points. Repainting the ride will be a bit more expensive because your painting 2 coasters and all of the support structures. The fact that its paint is probably its original coating is now showing its age the new coat of paint will last you another 35+ years.. Flight deck didnt even last a decade and is getting a new coat of paint.

Next New Ride?
X base doesn't need much TLC, just some restrooms if anything gets TLC next year it should be the Adventure Express and retracking and repainting The Racers.

2015 talk
I would love to see a decent flat ride put inside of the old crypt building, but i think flying eagles would be my first choice for a flat ride to add next season.

Next New Ride?
It has already been decided, 2019 Intamin giga coaster where the rest of Son of Beast was, it will even utilize a refurbished SOB station. <a href="http://s362.photobucket.com/user/x241/media/2019ki.png.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo63/x241/2019ki.png" border="0" alt=" photo 2019ki.png"/></a> Tr0y, wishfully thinking

Something is up with the infamous Action Zone Circle
It could be this new food stand with chicken that they will be offering this coming season.

The Bat flies again at Kings Island
I like the charcoal color they used for the supports, gives it a rustic look like its been there for years, and no one has been back there to ride it, plus once you get that bright orange track under it it will really look dark.
