loganrun Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 The New Scream Machine is a great addition to a beloved Cincinnati Park Coney Island. Coney is really adding great new stuff not to mention there pool looked great. If any one gets a chance the scream Machine is neat, a drop and then a yoyo affect. its about 4 stories tall, and cudos to Coney: Never say a park goes out of business when the new park back then "72" when Kings Island opens: yeh way to go with another great addition: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I have not been out to Coney this season, which makes me really kind of sad. Anyway, I will be going to Coney exclusively as a guest for the first time in about two weeks, and I will most definantly ride it. I will also probably take pictures of Coney`s rides, and post them to my site, when I have time to post them. It has been strange to not work at Coney this year. My brother still works there, and is in his third year there. I may offer extra help on Labor Day Weekend and the rest of the post season as I will be out of school and co-oping in mid September (if they need my assistance that is). My brother was actually the first person to run the Scream Machine with guests on board. Yes, I`m sure the Scream Machine is a great addition to Coney. The Scream Machine occupies the former spot of the Forg Hopper, which was new in 2003. Frog Hopper moves to the spot that was previously home to the Baby Bumpers, which are no more.

ZosoBeast Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 A good chunk of the PKIC staff will be going to the park on the 19th! Met the coolest ride op last year when I went..... Here is hoping she is back again this year! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 What was her name, I might know if she is back this year. Apparantly there were a lot of veteran ride operators that did not return this season, me being one of them. However, I might go back for Labor day weekend and the following couple weekends of operation. It is funny how I didn`t think I would miss being at Coney, until I wasn`t working there in the summer. I will be there on the 23rd riding the rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Its a great small park, with one large swimming pool. For this season, their 120th, they have actually lowered their prices! A pool and rides combo ticket is $17.50 a person, or individually a Sunlighht Pool or Rides pass will cost $9.95 per psrson. After 4 pm admission is individually 5.95 or a combo ticket is $8.95. Definantly a neat little park, with lots of whirl and hurl flats, and one small coaster in the Pepsi Python. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I haven't been to Coney Island in 2 years! I've been too busy and with a season pass to PKI, I have less incentive to visit old Coney. In my humble opinion. Coney Island is a cute little park with TONS of history. If PKI closed for a season, I'd visit Coney Island as much as I do PKI for the flat rides and atmosphere. If I can, I will take my family there this season. Have a great day! Italian Chef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZosoBeast Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 What was her name, I might know if she is back this year. No idea on the name. I did however grab a picture of her, with her permission of course. I thought she was cool because as we were getting on the Round Up, I, as a joke, asked her to make this the longest ride of the day! And sure enough, we were up there forever! There was no line to speak of, so I guess she decided to leave us up there until someone showed up! Here is her pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I believe her name is Julie. Not sure if she is one of the operators that returned this year though. Yes, the Round up is one of the rides (along with the Ferris Wheel) where the operators are in control of how long the ride cycle lasts. All the other rides have timers on them. Last year, on dead days, we would give longer rides on the Ferris Wheel, simply because when the ride is running, the time passes by much quicker, then when you sit there just waiting for riders.
