KIBeast

Sounds good, Haunt Guy. I didn't really expect you to be able to talk, but I wanted to give you a shout.

Hauntguy, it appears that I will be making a trip to KI in October for fearfest. This will be my first ever Halloween event. I am looking forward to seeing what KI has in store for me and my friends. I will try to tell you what I'll be wearing as I would like to meet you since you are PKIC alumni.

So, Railrider, are you considering going on the PKIC trip? We'd love to have you on board. With this new coaster, this is going to be one kick @*# trip. Not that it wasn't before, but a new coaster always helps. I agree with an earlier poster who said that it probably won't be long before we see an Intamin or B&M coaster in the park. Who cares if it breaks records? Just give me a good ride. 2.5 minutes on Maverick sounds pretty good. Plus, with the theming on Maverick, there's really nothing to keep up. Except for the water squirt, the rest of the theming is static.

^Yes! That's what I wanted to hear. Why wouldn't Cedar Fair want the tallest, fastest, and only looping wood coaster in the world operating. I mean, they love breaking records.

^So, what is the difference you are trying to point out? I agree, Bowser. I want Son of Beast to re-open, much to the chagrin of the haters. I didn't get the chance to ride it this season and my trip just didn't seem the same. Coasterfreak, nice article.

^Railrider, wha happened to the wingwalker trains? In all fairness, I was saying that it was an aquatrax. Guess we are both terrible at figuring these things out. All I gotta say is, this ride will kick butt and this is perfect timing for the PKIC trip next year.

And now, we have this kick butt coaster named Maverick to break in. This is going to make my maxx pass well worth the money.

Thank you Dane and all who have contributed. This is going to rank right up there with my top amusement park visits of all time.

Gonna bump this up to see if anything new has developed.

Nice video. It was good seeing Son of Beast running. Almost brought a tear to my eye.

^It wouldn't go to waste if I had that amount of money! Great to see it up and running again. If a little wheel falling off is enough to close it for three years, I imagine an accident a little greater than that would shut it down for good.

^He needs it to prove who you are. Lion, there hasn't been one credible thing you have had to say around here. Combat and Interpreter I'm sure are correct when they say that you were kong fu guy, kong fu man, or Flight of the Dead.

What is that lady trying to do? Take a pic?

^That's a pretty cool pic. People, it was called KCKC, not KKKK. You guys make it sound like the Klan used to be at Kings Island.

^That was the point.

Not sure about the whole CF chaing, but at Cedar Point, there are some good sit down restaurants, but a lot of the food stands are average or below average. The pizza tastes like cardboard. The burgers generally don't have much flavor either.

Very true, Avatar. Sounds to me like they are trying to put the screws to out of towners. So, was it determined whether or not it would affect anyone besides the Beach and Kings Island?

^Good point, woofer. Anyone know what it will be used for/earmarked for?

If there was green track there would be a photo of it on Pointbuzz by now. There was a pic on Pointbuzz. Turns out, it was nothing more than green pipes for water. I would post a link, but the thread was deleted. Railrider, I am fanning the flames.

Wow! 27 pages long? Is this a record for PKIC? Back on topic...Is Kings Island haunted? I think a lot of that depends on whether or not you believe in ghosts or not.

What theory? Edit***Never mind, Interpreter. I just now got it. I am a little slow today.

You guys think it's bad in Mason, try living in Huntington, WV. They are trying to tax us to death. Not only that, there are many ridiculous business taxes, no one wants to come to Huntington to open new business. However, I do agree with you guys that this new tax is b.s.

^Enjoy it while it lasts. I enjoy being older. Wisdom comes with age, at least for most people.

Why are you so sure it's a brake run?

Here is a link to an article from the Toledo Blade about how the latest construction at Cedar Point is causing an uproar in the coaster communities. Maverick Article Tggr, it's going to be a little more than something along the lines of Storm Runner. According to the article, CP is going for some record with this one. No one knows just yet. It may be some kind of new inverion, maybe a record for most LIM/LSM launches, or maybe longest steel coaster. They have something up their sleeves for sure. I guess we'll all know in a matter of days.
