Apparently my name was drawled first for the Banshee media pass... I left the park after the Diamondback tour.

I was thinking the same thing the other day while attending the ki central anniversary I was looking at Diamondback thinking : "why am i not riding Diamondback?"

that's a good question Kings Island needs a millennium force.

I hope we are able to go behind the scenes today, I lost my top gun hat on. My luck

the great thing about The Beast is you can ride it 8 times during the day, but when nighttime comes and you get on its a completely different ride. You ride Diamondback and nothing changes, even at night.

Congo falls is not that great of a water ride, doesnt get you that wet either, tear it down and build shoot the rapids 2 with extra restraints so now you will spend more time upside-down underwater. Just kidding, if they remove Congo falls and replace it with a flat ride, more off to the side and timber wolf can be converted into luminosity and that theatre would come back to life, i don't think many people know its there because its tucked behind Congo falls...

The only thing that drags me back to Kings Island is The Beast. Diamondlack is only fun up to the MCBR.

Im glad KK is opening, finally competition for Kings Island. 2019 giga coaster!

skyrush seats are staggered v formation like Diamondback, wouldn't that technically make it 2 rows of seats for one train?

If Kentucky kingdom got a Intamin giga coaster i would not be renewing my Kings Island pass for next year.

holiday world is known for its water park therefor majority of the capital investments would be into the Waterpark, and a few rides here and there.

frontier town at Cedar Point has a good amount of theming to it.

girls love stand up coasters, especially with the B&M shuffling.

I would much rather have a giga coaster made by intamin, but have Steel dragon 2000 B&M trains with Banshee style restraints would do.

The claw machines at Kings Island are all rigged if you look very closely there is a layer of plexiglass between the items and rocks therefor the hook can hardly if ever get a good grasp around the item..

All of the Cedar Fair coaster additions have been themed as creatures, Diamondback, Banshee, Firehawk.. The Banshee is apart of The Beast SOB theme kinda...

Coney mall / x-base (maybe we will see x base finally become its own section of park. ) or the removal of the adventure exoress with octoberfest to get a new coaster, if they don't plan on doing too much they could always re-use the old Sob station and build a lifthill overtop Banshee and use the remaining land behind Banshee.. ( Intamin giga anybody? )... I know don has talked about the station being used for haunt indefinitely but they will go threw all options with the 5 year plan they know they will be doing a coaster but they don't know where and what coaster they are building till about 2 years prior of the coaster being built.. Other than that i don't see anywhere they could put one without removing something.

I love maverick but hate the over the shoulder restraints, every sharp turn leads to my neck being slowly hacked off. I forgot to add overall favorite coaster is millennium force

Favorite wood coaster is The Beast, favorite steel coaster is millenium force.

I was at CP 21st and 22nd, everything was less than a 20 minute wait except for maverick. I like Gatekeeper the new main entrance and being able to see the beach more is great, that area seems less cluttered than it was with space spiral and disaster transport.. I'd have to say my favorite spot is back row, left side, outside seat.. My favorite part of the ride has to be the wing over drop into the Immelmann loop after the MCBR the ride becomes boring. I haven't had issues with shuffling on Gatekeeper its more noticeable on Diamondback for me its not an issue i don't consider the shuffling rough... I do and don't like the new restraints, i like fact there is no head banging, like raptor. But the restraints are very uncomfortable on the collarbones. Therefor i hardly do back to back riding...

I think the parks should be rewarded more money for investments with the amount of revenue they produce. It seems like bad business to invest heavily into something that doesn't produce the numbers to justify the amount of money spent on the investments.

What would explain parks like kings dominion getting a 25 million dollar intimdator 305 and carowinds getting a 23 million dollar intimidator. Two parks that make less revenue and yearly attendance, than Kings Island?

I was in a stage where I thought that Cedar Fair cared only about Cedar Point. However, now as I'm getting older, I'm starting to understand that they have 12 parks that they own and every decision that is made is made with all the parks in mind. they don't want any park to hurt the flagship park Cedar Point, that's why Michigan's adventure will never flourish, probably why geauge lake was closed so it wouldn't take from Cedar Point... Kings Island in my opinion has more potential than CP, its currently at par in terms of attendance. but if Kings Island was to become a better park nobody would bother traveling farther up to CP. Cedar Fair didn't have any Issues investing 28 million dollars for leviathan in Canada's wonderland. The greater Cincinnati area is a better market than greater sandusky..

I don't have issues with any restraints at Kings Island. i agree with kat that The Racer is rougher than The Beast. Its like stapling a jackhammer to your back turned on while trying to sit down on concrete. I tolerate it (giving the fact its a wooden coaster. ) but The Racer could use some track work and a coat of paint.

Its hard accepting less, i just want the most for Kings Island.
