Not with Fast Lane.

Row 4 on Banshee has a little longer restraints, it the same with Wild Eagle at Dollywood and Gatekeeper at Cedar Point.

I think Don should be the 100,000,000 rider on The Racer.

I have always wondered do they count the ones who can't fit or get scared and don't ride. Who does the actually counting?

^Always somebody who wants to be different lol

If The Beast is too rough and Banshee is too intense, I think the problem is a lack of round objects between two limbs.

I was at Cedar Point and Millennium Force got stuck on the hill with people in it for hours, never heard that on any news. They had to send up the thing to get them out. So glad I dont live in Lousiville anymore.

Banshee will be a prb, row four is more forgiving.

Why was Top Gun built where it was?
OleShawn replied to DontWantToWait42mar0's topic in Kings Island
Maybe they was planning more rides in that area. -
I caught a ride-op drinking out of mine on BLSC and I took it and my receipt and got a new one.

What all have you rode? Have you been on Drop Tower?

I love seeing security in park, we need more of them IMO. People act real stupid in the park sometimes.

We ate twice, once at some chicken place by Blue Streak and another was some hamburger place, i cant remember. The food wasnt bad, but I just love Red's Grill lol. I think it might had been that seat.

First Trip to Cedar Point, stayed 4 days and here is my trip report. I compared this place to KI so he goes. Most rides was a walk on or 30min wait and stayed that way all week, was expecting a lot more people, which was a bonus. I have rarely went to Kings Island and was more of a wait. CP wins there. Staff there seemed rude or in a bad mood, like they really hated their job, except for a few people who were nice. So Kings Island wins there. Theming could be a lot better, giving the lake and everything. I did enjoy the view when on rides but Kings Island seems a lot more detailed, where Cedar Point was more blacktop and concrete. Kings Island wins there. Park access is good at Cedar Point, driving in and parking was easy, where Kings Island feels crowded. Once your in the park getting to back of park is easy, chair lift to train and your right by Maverick. There is no quick way to back of Kings Island. Cedar Point wins there. Tried food is was alright, seeing how they don't have a Reds Grill. Kings Island wins there. Now for the rides, or the ones I rode. Gatekeeper was the first thing we rode, is was good and was a lot like Wild Eagle in Dollywood. Nothing wowed me Kinda of a let down, but after Banshee its hard to sit in those seats and not expect awesome. Raptor was the next, was alright, hit my head a few times, no where near as good a Banshee. Blue Streak surprised me on how good it was, beats The Racer and my 3rd favorite wooded coaster, behind Thunderhead and The Beast. Good air time and was fast. Corkscrew, big disappointment and rough. Seems the be a theme with Arrow coasters. Magnum XL, had high expectations and was thinking it would be like Diamondback...wrong. Was fast and rough and couldn't wait till it was over, which I can say the same for these rides too, Gemini and Meanstreak. Iron Dragon surprised me on how fun it was, a lot better than The Bat. Except The Bat's drop is a lot better. Mantis was my first stand-up coaster and it was hard on me, I stood-up too much and was pretty much riding on my private area, so I chalk that up to rider error. Didn't enjoy it, but its not the rides fault, unless I want to blame the restraints. Maverick, what can I say, its awesome. Every part of that ride was awesome and one of two coasters that I thought was themed well. This one has it all. Top Thrill Dragster scared me every time, night ride was great and loved the theming. Rode this on the ERT from 10pm to 11pm. 4 times in a row it gave me a headache but well worth it lol. Last but not least Millennium Force, just plain awesome. From the drop to the ejector air. Thought it would be better than Diamondback, was faster and more intense. The seats on Diamondback makes it better. Put those seats on Millennium Force and you would have best ride in the world. A lot of what hurts Cedar Points rides is the restraints, that falls back on Intamin. They do have the Giga and Strata but it all comes down to how it feels, not much different in 200+ drop and 300+ drop. I love ejector air, so I love the front. I will say back seat on Millennium Force beats Diamondbacks, but front seat goes to Diamondback. Banshee is its own world and I would compare it to Maverick and far as how fun it is. I'm not downing Cedar Point just the whole time I kept missing Kings Island and am glad I like it better because its a lot closer. Kings Island needs just a few more big coasters and I would never think about Cedar Point. Thank you for reading.

Cedar Point TO REOPEN MONDAY JUNE 9
OleShawn replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Im going on the 16th and 17th. How Crowdedwill it be and how long Line times will I see...Its a Monday and Tuesday. I know its just someones guess, just like so info from someone who goes there alot. Its my first time. -
I never feel anything from the restraints, my wife who is smaller complains about it everytime. I think shorter people have more disconfront from it.
-
You got to think about what animal would need chains on it's paws? Or is this just cruel treatment on The Beast because of its species? The fact that it gets unchained suggest that this animal was being abused when it broke free. Im surprised that PETA has not started the "Protect The Beast" campain. I for one am for ethical treatment of The Beast, regardless of what species it is.
