I beat you by a few seconds with the link. From now on, when you post an article like that, it is helpful to post the link. I`m not sure what the resolution is on your monitor, but I certainly couldn`t read the article until I found it on their website!

The link was supposed to work when you clicked on the picture but I epically failed at that sorry!

Thanks Coaster and Unreal for the post, but Coaster got my attention first, LOL sorry Sk8tr.

Its cool lol im testing out my ne ipod touch lol

SO you did go out and buy one.

Do they still sell the 8gb i only see the 16 and 32 gb.

I am thinking of getting a new ipod shuffle there cool looking even though i already have a P2

8 days out and a change in the weather forecast.

Weather.com now shows a high of 62° and a low of 42° and mostly sunny with a chance of precipitation of only 10%.

Expect a packed park if that forecast holds out.

^^Which still proves the fact of how unpredictable the long-range forecasts are. I still believe Wednesday morning will be the earliest time to have the best accuracy.

Packed or not I will be there to get my Diamondback ride in and hopefully a few others. As long as it isnt a Knevil day I do not mind.

My sister and I are coming on the 1st of May - it's a Friday, do you guys suspect that the park will be really crowded then? I was hoping to get some of the opening day rush out of the way and go on a week day.

I`m not certain, but I believe that may in fact be the first Math and Science Day. Which means there could be lots and lots of school kids there!

The writer did write a lot more on the Indiana parks than SFKK and KI's portion. I realize this is the INDY Star not ACE writing the article. I would say the introduction of Diamondback is a lot more news worthy that IB's free park admission this year, but I might be partial to KI.

I will say though, IB is where I rode my first coaster (Galaxy) after being drug up to it by my parents with me crying and screaming. I got off and rode it again. I still really enjoy the park.

Yes, they still sell the 8GB as far as I'm aware. Last time I was at Walmart they were selling it. Aslo, I personally don't like the new Shuffle. I think it is too small and it has virtually no buttons on it. I think Apple has finlly went too far on one of their products.

Plus if you go on may 1st you can meet up with gatorhead and others since he is planning a trip that same day...

Click on his forum, Unofficial KIC road trip.

Sorry i do not have the link for it.

I have a huge shocker. The weather forecast changed again, now showing showers and 63 on weather.com

^^WOW this weather talk is starting to get old!!

I haven't been around lately...

What is this "Diamondback" ride?

I thought KI already had a runaway mine car ride?

Also, the answer to today's NY Times crossword for 4 across is seperated.

I just saw a part on News 5 about DB and KI opening.

They were showing pictures of the UNCOMPLETE track..

Also, they said that it opened April 19th

I think it'll be funny when people are going to be turned away on the 19th.

And for that reason right their is why I don't watch local news often..

Well, the commercials that KI has been airing on both the radio and television the past few days have been making a big deal about the park opening April 18th, and being closed Sunday April 19th.

And yes, the local media can be quite horrendous at times. Yesterday, WCPO (Channel 9) had an article up where they said "considered" instead of what they intended to say which was "concerned."

the news should look for spelling errors or grammar correction, or word use before airing these articles and suchon the air.

This particular article was on their website. My local community paper has typos almost weekly, and has even misspelled headlines before!

Watching local news can be amusing.

"Today on Local Action News for You: The newest thrill at "The King Islands", "The Diamond is Back"...er, Diamondback, I should say, is coming to strike terror into the hearts of "tri-state," um..."Miami-valley," (dang!) "Inland Empire" thrill seekers of all ages! The 230-mile-high monster --er, feet-- will plunge divers -- riders, that is, over more than six giant hills of thrills --aw, there goes my toupé?--heh heh... Anyway, the bailout will...what the... Look, will someone please fire the teleprompter guy!?!?"

Back on Topic: I see ducks in the splashdown...I think? Or Canada geese...

looks as though the que house is nearing completion. i see railings

....Also, the answer to today's NY Times crossword for 4 across is seperated.

It is hoped it is not spelled that way!

There is a rat in separate....Terpy remembers from his formative years!

Terpy...some things never change...thankfully

Well ya...

... but it is the NY Times.

I find this to be extremely scary, though not surprising. When is the last time that you saw "through" spelled correctly on a sign?

^ you mean thru is not how it is spelled

I remember when signs used the word VIA. You rarely see that nowadays...
