DropZone99 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Me & Mitchell (Gnarkiller) went to KI yesterday for Halloween Haunt. The park was super crowded! We stayed at GWL (they had some awesome slides!) There is always a Shelton Fireworks right as you are about to enter Ohio... 10 seconds later... From our room we could see KI amazingly! Flight Deck! Diamondback! More Diamondback construction Random haunt stuff Robbie Knievel That one guy who walked on the rope thing... Drop Tower is amazing, especially when you have your hands up before the drop! Infact, it may be my favorite ride at KI! DB supports behind SOB Speaking of the best coaster at KI, it had a huge line! But that didn't stop me from having fun on SOB! In case you didn't know what it looked like under SOB's station And in case you didn't know what the red train looked like.. SOB's station After another amazing ride on SOB we went to one of the other amazing coasters at KI; Flight Deck! Taken just a tad to late... The awesome trains on FD I <3 you! Not worth the full queue wait... I really like how Invertigo looks, but not how it rides... Congo Falls closed for winter rehab... I <3 you too! I might change this to my avatar later... Why did they close Viking Fury for HH!? What does Maul meen? Plane Crash i thought this picture looked kind of creepy... We were going to do Massacre Manner but with a line to Vortex we decided to pass... The worksite DB Crane I love how Vortex looks from here Randomness Part 2 coming soon...

DropZone99 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Part 2: Diamondback time! The last piece to be put in will be put in probably around late November? Splashdown The steep chain lift Track infront of Crypt The main drop Airtime!!! More airtime!!! The drop into the ravine Airtime hill More airtime! Support near the hammerhead turn like element Supports behind Crypt Supports in the ravine Main drop again And again Crypt Where did people get the idea to call it Clifford? Track DB I should compare this picture to a picture just like this only when it was called TRTR and DB wasn't there. Wow i took aton of pics Looking straight up to the main drop. I can't think of any captions The crane Some random lady Be sure to try the BBQ here! ^All inside that restaurant! Beast has a line of atleast an hour all day! Can ACErs even fit on Beast? The third drop on Vortex 55 mph. Ouch! Beast I saw Captain Nemo here! I bet this will be DB's on ride photo/ gift shop building. I miss Phantom Theater Creepy! Creepy Creepy No, my camera wasn't messed up, there was that much fog! Part 3 soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DropZone99 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 The final part! Invertigo looks soooo weird in this pic! Same here I found out to make the trains be a blur! Again No trespassing, even if your hat fell off & you want to go get it.. I hate how SOB is so popular now! Club Blood was too long too, so we passed for now KI was way tooooo busy I thought maybe Firehawk would have a small line, but it was the whole entire queue! This picture would of been better if it was light outside Random test dummies in the maintenance area. Anyone going to Fall Freak Out? DB I uprated BLSC to 7! That meens you.... Too much fog... Too much dark... I haven't ridden Monster in years Racer was only running one side and the line was out of the queue so we passed Don Helbig died! Ill take over i guess! Creepy light.. Random I had permission to take these pictures ME!!! DB DB Giant Skull Creepy I ate at Popeye's so i took some pictures of The Beach from the car wash! Waterslide Kings Island's amazing skyline!

gigacoaster2k Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Amazing photos! I'm sorry the park was so packed. Saturdays at any park are pretty much suicide. I'm going to CP this weekend, and I'm hoping for the best. Invertigo is much better if you keep your head back against the headrest. It's even better when you ride front/back seat, and have your hands in the air the whole time, you get an unobstructed view. I used to hate it until I learned to keep my head back during the whole ride. Do that with any launch ride, or any ride with OTSRs, and you won't get headaches anymore. Drop Tower is indeed better with your hands up on the drop, it's about time someone other than Jasper agrees with me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Man Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'm like, 99% sure I stopped for a picture by you! I was the guy with the 2x4 in the back suit outside of Cemetery/Air Brush T's. You or some other long haired teen with a camera! -Ki "Still wishing I'd find a picture of me..." Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Maul means to paw and scratch with a claw.... Thanks Awesome PTR!!!! Thanks Good PTR sir, love seeing these. Looking forward to part 2. Gotta agree with you on SOB, it's been GREAT this year! Thank you! And yeah, SOB is alot more smooth in 2008! I never really thought it was rough before though. Did you do Fright Feast? How was that? Yes, it was great! I miss KI already!!!! Same, i really wish i could of rode Drop Tower & SOB more... & we didn't get to ride FoF, Firehawk, Vortex, Racer, or Delirium. ^^ I can't wait for the skyline next year!!! Same here, and ill take that exact same picture in 2009! Amazing photos! I'm sorry the park was so packed. Saturdays at any park are pretty much suicide. I'm going to CP this weekend, and I'm hoping for the best. Invertigo is much better if you keep your head back against the headrest.

Drop Tower is indeed better with your hands up on the drop, it's about time someone other than Jasper agrees with me on that. I used to like Invertigo when it was Face/Off, but this year it is just un enjoyable! You have to remember that it is almost 10 years old. And DT is soooooo much more thrilling when you don't hold on, you get more airtime! I'm like, 99% sure I stopped for a picture by you! I was the guy with the 2x4 in the back suit outside of Cemetery/Air Brush T's. You or some other long haired teen with a camera! -Ki "Still wishing I'd find a picture of me..." Man Now that i think about it, i may have seen you.. And on TPR your avatar is you next to DB's track in the parking lot. I asked a guy named Jason who was the guy who asks for Gold Passes in the Gold pass parking if i could go take pictures of the track and go touch it and he said we could but he sounded very drunk so we didn't go. I was thinking we might not really be able to and we would get in trouble. Are we allowed to go up to it and take pics of it? If so then ill do that next time i go to KI.

Karen Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Yes I would like to hear a little more about the Fright Feast. Been thinking about trying it. Well not sure after seeing those pictures. Not too sure if I could eat with that much gore around ha ha. Weak stomach!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Nice trip report. I liked this photo the best: http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb246/a...gsIsland147.jpg I'm glad you posted some pictures of Fright Feast...I will have to decide whether to do it again this year or not...last year was a "classy" funeral home look...this year it appears they opted for the (boring) "all you need is gore to be scary" theme.
