  1. Or rid of The Terpster! They already have the tombstone.

    Terp...snickers while We Like To Party by the Venga Boys eerily plays like a memory in a 2049 Coney Mall...Is there a clock on the front of Fest Haus? What sign is on the front of the park? How many coasters? Are soft drinks sold? How much is one? Are there cars out front? Is there a parking lot? Is there a Terp there?

    Terp who likes to ask questions.

    To answer your questions.

    1. No

    2. 24.825 coasters

    3. Yes

    4. $0.99

    5. Nope

  2. I much, much prefer the odd numbered rows on Diamondback. I've ridden every seat on the coaster numerous times. Far smoother, less vibrations (some call it rattles) in the odd rows.

    Thanks, though.

    How odd (no pun intended). I strongly prefer the even-numbered rows (except row 1, obviously) for a more open-air experience.

  3. Tony just tweeted something very interesting. Could this be the start of a large 2015 project?

    Hmm... Maybe. I would have to say no, for two reasons.

    1. Gatekeeper was built just one year ago.

    2. It is a marking on concrete. Don't get too excited. Probably just repairing pavement, or leftover marks from Gemini Midway Construction.

  4. How odd. I ride Maverick ONLY in the front, Millennium Force in either the very front or the very back (both bayside), Corkscrew, 5-1, Banshee, I vastly prefer the front, same for Diamondback. (and Volcano: The Blast Coaster...). As for Magnum, 1-3 please, or 1-1 or the very back.

    As for Mantis and Mean Streak, the benches out in front are very nice....

    For Diamondback, try 1-2. Very underrated. You still get a front-row view while not having to wait as long.

  5. I remember seeing a souvenir cup from the late 80s where the top four depicted were The Beast, Vortex, King Cobra, and Racer.

    KI's best four rides now can go toe-to-toe with almost every other park's, only ones it isn't comparable to are SFMM and maybe CP.

    Kings Island: Banshee, Diamondback, The Beast, Firehawk

    Cedar Point: Millennium Force, Maverick, Gatekeeper, Top Thrill Dragster

    Magic Mountain: Tatsu, X², Goliath, Superman: Escape from Krypton

  6. Usually for only a couple seconds before the catch car releases. :D

    I was stuck for an hour.

    I'd hate to be stuck that long in one of the rows climbing the hill backwards.... thats a killer if you know what i mean.

    Luckily, I was facing forward (and in front row).

  7. Okay so i was just wondering if anyone else remembers hearing that Kings Island was supposed to get 2 new roller coasters/rides by 2015, i remember hearing about that in march and was wondering if anyone remembers this.

    Not trying to start any new arguments/decoding

    We did get 2 new ones(Banshee and Bat)

    Well played, well played indeed.

    Thank you *bow*, thank you *bow*.

  8. The problem was what was the question? Let me write a poll question and I can shape the results to fit your needs.

    Gravy? Who mentioned ACE?

    Terp, just sayin'

    I must have misled you. By coaster enthusiasts, I didn't mean ACE, I just meant meant anyone else who has ridden the coasters. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

  10. I don't think you will see Cedar Fair buy a HUSS enterprise. Something about a Dollywood ride, a Giant Top Spin...

    Also, I don't see that kind of money (your plan) invested in KI in the next decade. Perhaps, but not likely...

    Ah yes, forgot about HUSS's recent "mishap". I also wasn't thinking over the next decade, more like the next 20 years.
