^I couldn't agree with you more. It was just wishful thinking on my part. BTW, you stole my arguement for no new trains on SOB. I have been saying for a couple of years now that there wouldn't be new trains since there wouldn't be any Return on Investment.

No, but Dragster is Xcelerator on steroids.

Combat, I heard this about Villain from Jeff Putz of Pointbuzz and Coasterbuzz. He had a conversation with Bill Spehn, I believe, in which he stated that it will be rehabbed in the off-season.

It is similar in that it launches and is not really tall or really fast and there is theming.

^I agree that it's not as good as Wicked Twister. It should be ready for the 2007 season. Also, The Villain is getting rehabbed in the off-season.

I sympathize, but they did give them rain checks, which doesn't happen too often. I would have been equally angry over trying to sell the tickets and having to give the money back.

^ I would love to see new trains for Son of Beast.

Wouldn't work. I am all for leaving it up and opening it next season, providing another incident like that one won't happen again.

One record is for five underground tunnels. The other is most air time at 24.2 seconds. There's your first place records.

They already have one like it...Italian Job: Stunt Track. The only real difference is the inversions.

Thanks Combat! I appreciate it. I cannot wait for next year's trip. Gonna be great getting to meet you, Ryan, and all of the other great people here in this community. I think this will go down in history (at least my own personal history) as one of the best coaster trips. I might be bringing someone. It is ok to bring a guest?

I always thought Phantom Theater was in HB Land because basically it was a kids' haunted house, so it fit in the kids' area.

^Yes, you are the unofficial expert on the Hauntings(Halloween) of Kings Island. Sometimes, I may come off as an a-hole, but I really am trying to not do that. I often forget that the mood I'm in at the moment I am here affects how I read someone's post. I have probably jumped on a few people unnecessarily. I would like to apologize to anyone that I have done that to and I have also sent PMs to a few people explaining the same thing. I joined this site long before Coasterbuzz or Pointbuzz and this one has always been my favorite. People here are generally nicer and the mods are way cool. Some sites are just too strict with their moderating. And, some of the posters are like rabid dogs attacking new borns when you are new to their community. I have also made some good friends through some arguments, CombatStupendous being one of them. We went back and forth for about a week insulting each other and then realizing how dumb we were acting. So, a big shout out to Combat.

Interpreter, that is way too funny! I would like Cedar Fair to keep using the Paramount Story without the Paramount crap in it. It would still make a nice, serene place to get away.

Well, so much for that. I can't believe that someone else owns the rights to that video. How dumb was that? They must have paid to use footage of their own coaster. How embarassing.

I'm with CoastersRZ on this one. I wouldn't dare eat a crockroach. Disgusting little vermin. I also wouldn't appreciate people cutting in front of me because they ate a roach. If they paid, then that's another matter. If you're dumb enough to eat a crockroach, I don't think it entitles you to anything. Fear Factor is the dumbest show ever...next to Survivor.

Klockster, I too would also be willing to pay for a copy including shipping, the cost of the CD and then for the time you put into it.

I really don't see much similarities to either MF or SR. You have a different launch, low to the ground, inversions, theming, 95 degree drop and so on. It's really a one of a kind. If you are trying to describe it to someone else, have them check it out at the Cedar Point web site. You've got animations, pics, interviews, and a construction diary to boot.

You could realistically do a Phantom Theatre Haunted House. All you need are some actors to dress the parts and a few props.

I don't have it, but if someone on here does, I'd love to have a copy myslef. I would be willing to pay.

I voted for mental institution. Brings back memories of Michael Meyers in Halloween.

The only thing decent coming from Paramount this year is the We Are Marshall movie. Paramount is the king of dud movies.

^I agree that the algae looks pretty foul. Especially under Thunderhawk. It was so thick that a flip flop was just laying on top of the greenery, so to speak. Could be that it would float on water, but, it still needs to be dealt with.

^How true, Interpreter. Busch was losing money on that particular Sea World and it was only from the profits from the other parks that it existed for as long as it did. I love Geauga Lake. It has a nice collection of coasters and a kick butt waterpark. I think that their next move should be to clean up the old waterpark and bring in some better food. The only good food is over in WWK. If I'm spending the day on the rides side, I don't want to have to walk all the way over there for a decent meal. Then, they really need to address the roughness of the Villain and fix the trains on SuperVenom. After that, I would expand on the WWK side again, since it is the main draw to that park. In a couple of years, if attendance has gone up, then introduce a new coaster or flat ride. Sometimes people underestimate the draw of a major flat.

I respectfully disagree Quickwind. I think this coaster looks pretty good. There's a lot of low to the ground action going on. Did you guys check out that in-line twist (or whatever it's called) that looks like you could almost hit your head on the ground? Not to mention the head choppers in the little canyons. It's about time CP installed another coaster with inversions.
