INTAMIN! As if you couldn't tell from my sig!

^Definitely not.

So what if KI doesn't get any new rides next season. Is there not enough to do already? They already have the best kids' area (Golden Ticket or not as evidenced by the sheer number of people in NU), world class coasters and thrill rides. I also have heard that the shows improved some this year. I can think of many things that could be fixed/updated without adding any new ride. I'm sure if you look at the history of the park expenditures, you'll find many years where there were no new rides.

No one should be feeling anyone on this site. It's a family site.

I've stayed at the KI Inn too. Very nice and the food is pretty good too. I just wish it was within walking distance to the park. I always plan next year's trips between now and March.

Gordon, my wife was turned away from MF and she is now making an effort to fit next year. I was embarassed for her and she actually cried over it. I was so disappointed because she was looking forward to riding MF over Dragster. The ride op on Dragster was really cool. My wife needed a little help and was talking with her saying she didn't think she would fit. The op replied," I'm a big farm girl myself, so if I can fit, so can you." She helped her with the belt and then we were on our way. I wish I knew her name so I could thank her personally. Her comment gave us a chuckle and she really made an effort to get her on Dragster.

And here comes some more complaints.

I agree about asking your doctor about riding coasters. I have had back surgery myself. I was not able to ride coasters for about five years. Doc thought that the jarring would probably hurt me. After five years, I called back to ask again. I was told to go ahead and ride. And, if it hurt, don't do it again. If it did, guess you are ok to ride.

I agree...especially when people sneak them on rides and then decide to throw them Just curious, but, how do you "sneak" a basketball onto a ride?

I miss the loop, but the new trains are a good trade off. Now, if they would only add a tunnel where the old loop was...

I'd venture to say that the seats will be repaired to make it look new.

I agree Rustbelt, about moving rides around. I think some here have played RCT a little too much.

Interpreter, I like Time Warp and yes, I've been on it a few times with my brother. He found Texas Twister to be much more uncomfortable than TW. I thought it was fine.

The one flat ride was indeed called the Rotor, so you are correct. The bobsled style ride I think you are referring to was The Bayern Curve, although Matterhorn is not really like that. Matterhorn I believe has tubs that swing whereas The Bayern Curve ran on rails almost like coaster track. Screamin' Demon was my first looper and backwards ride. Seemed really cool at the time.

You are kinda correct. SOB is KI's answer to Millennium Force. Both built in 2000. Cedar Point went the way of steel while KI went the way of wood.

^Yes. And apparently, some people believe that by the few of us there that day, that was enough to keep GL open.

The materials, duh!

Actually, Gordon, I was referring to last year when I could have met you guys at GL. I think we either went one day apart or were there on the same day and didn't know it.

I want to buy a SP for all of the parks, jacket or no. Really, I could care less about the jacket. And yes, I do see why people are disappointed. But, there's no point sweating the small stuff in life. Example: I lost my phone first thing on my last trip, That could have ruined my whole day. But, I was not about to let that happen. I didn't travel 3 hours to have my day ruined over something minor.

I'm still PO'd I didn't make it to KIC day. There have been a few times over the years I could have met with Ronny, Ryan and a few others, but it hasn't panned out yet. Maybe next year...

That is Furious Baco. I don't care for the ball coaster, but the Zac Spin looks pretty neat.

I wanna join that group...People who Eating Tasty Animals.

That price is very reasonable. They gate was already too low when they did have a rides side.

Maybe because CF had that puppy running better and smoother than 6F ever thought too? I rode it several times at GL after the CF acquisition, and it was always a smooth ride.

It's not for Michigan's adventure. They are getting Thunderhawk which is a completely different manufacturer. It could be more track for behemoth. Not sure if all of that track has arrived at CW.
