  1. I think this should be their approach to the demolition:
  2. Thats a funny way to put at it. We could use Delirium as demo but wait....We'd have to wait forever for new huss parts .
  3. "Cranes? We don't need no stinkin' cranes!"
  4. they "HAD" in 2007 (or was it 2008) where they had sliders dressed as zombies in twead suits. also in earlier years of urgent scare, it "HAD" an outdoor section before & after the hospital which made the maze make more since that a virus (28 days/weeks later, the crazies, the walking dead); but w/o its outdoors section, the storyline is kinda lost in that its just a hospital gone wrong. also, do i need mention of worksite???

    They put "YOLO" in Full Throttle's promo video. Wow.
  6. Oh, it was on a Facebook post by them, the most recent one about it. Ah. Thank you. I do not go on Facebook, so that is why I was out of the loop. Thanks. Good, don't ever go on it.

    In most markets, regional parks don't directly compete with each other - so Cedar Fair can't "lose" many customers to Six Flags. Losing customers to other forms of entertainment and to vacations further from home is probably a bigger worry. Very few people in any of Cedar Fair's markets care what a Six Flags park in Texas is adding. Things can get interesting, though, when markets do overlap. Note that Cedar Point and SF Great America are, essentially, getting versions of each other's 2012 additions for 2013. I can't imagine that Cedar Fair's trademark lawyers are amused about "IgNIGHT" competing with "Luminosity: Ignite the Night".
  8. "Sorry folks, park's closed. Moose out front should have told ya." Actually, he was a security guard when he said that, but with a little persuasion we convinced him to become a ride op for us.

    The 2 elements in one loop on Full Throttle is what got me. Love it. The backwards launch reminds me of The Mummy at Universal. YOLO.
  11. 'S'okay. Terp's supervisor often finds his whereabouts to be a mystery, too.

    The backwards launch midway through Full Throttle caught me off guard and definitely impressed me - I'd love to see more unique and unusual elements like that on more roller coasters. Great Adventure's "Safari Off Road Adventure", although oddly named, also sounds exciting - the description sounds very similar to Disney's "Kilimanjaro Safari" attraction, and it'll definitely make a great "new" family attraction at the park.

    I was just wondering if anyone out there is really good at any of the carnival games at the parks. I was wondering about the rope chain one where you try to climb up the rope without falling, what's the trick??? I'm pretty solid at Bank a Ball (rebound). I can put it in about 50% of the time. My house is littered with stuffed animals from it. Here's a video I just put up. (puppy head bunt at the end is the best part )Any other ringers out there?
  14. Dear Kings Island, Six Flags is removing The Rattler and building Iron Rattler in the same year. Make this happen. Sincerely, KIC
  15. ^^Thats what happens when you dont pay your parking fee.
  16. Thank you, Morse. Dit dit dit...
  17. CoasterGeek101 made BB1 be reminded of his number 1 memory of my 1st haunted house experience. I made 1 pun, which led to another1, and then he made a "scarer" into 1 "laugher" which made every1 laugh at 1 point or the other. (As you may see 1 is my favorite, and most FUN number) English please.
  18. If the moon was made of spare ribs, would you eat it? I know I would, and I'd polish it off with a nice, tall Budweiser.
  19. How can we know, really? There's not enough data being sent back to now from the future to be able to form an opinion as to whether it is or not.
  20. I can ride all day err day. (Don't really talk like that, but I found it necessary in this situation!) As stated before, this is probably due to my young age.
  21. I rode FD 15 times in a row 2 years ago. I could of kept going too but their was atleast one person in each spot after that and we would have to go back though whole line. I can take pain on coasters to as of right now. Which would explain my name. Like TheCrypt I can ride all day.

    I could see it coming into AZ with a re-vamp..but we'll have to wait and see I guess.
  23. ^As I am aware of, no. If it is true or not, we will find out after this weekend.
  24. Maybe they should buy the trains from Disaster Transport. Oh, wait a sec......they want speed, right? Forget I suggested it.
  25. Oh, it was on a Facebook post by them, the most recent one about it. Ah. Thank you. I do not go on Facebook, so that is why I was out of the loop. Thanks.

    The FULL Zero G Roll (In your face Outlaw Run) surprised me on Rattler.

    Iron Rattler looks like an amazing ride, it almost depresses me that KI couldnt have done something with Son of Beast like that. Full Throttle looks.....interesting, but nothing huge to me. Sky Screamer looks like the ride I would want to try the most being terrified of heights.
  28. Since when is Six Flags removing Texas Giant? I thought they were retracking The Rattler to make it Iron Rattler.
  29. Remember, if you do go for an after glow party at your local tavern, make sure you do not drink and drive. Police will be on the look out, as they always do at that time of night for drivers that have had too much to drink. You do not have to be falling down drunk to be arrested for impaired driving. So be safe and do not get behind the wheel.

    And today will be a Six Flags day. More fun!
  31. Hopefully he doesn't hear about the dollar-per-game event at KI...
  32. Isn't the opening night for 2013 a little far away?
  33. "Tallest and fastest wooden coaster in northern California." My response?
  34. I305 has quick transitions, ejector air time, etc... Millennium is a bunch of forceless overbank turns and three hills that you'll be lucky to get floater airtime on. The only things I like about Millennium are the first drop and the lights.
  35. And who is to say if it was nixed, that it was in fact in the 11th hour? Any new attraction is a big investment by a park. They are going to do their due dilligence. If something comes up that causes them to think that their investment will cost more, or that the cost of the investment will not provide the necessary return on investment, then the smart decision would be to not install said investment. Then again, a park must invest money in order to lure in group sales and new customers, as well as to keep existing customers coming back. Fresh paint and new kiddy rides alone will not keep people coming back.
  36. I'm tired of it being a test program.
  37. You can confirm you'll work at Kings Island, no?
  38. I knew this topic would come up. I want to go sooooooo bad! The problem is you can play some games, and have a slice of pizza under 5 bucks... then you have to pay for Fast Lane....
  39. I'm sure KI's approach to SOB is nothing to see here.
  40. It really depends how the park wants to spin it and what you consider is a record breaker. "KI'S NEW 2013 ATTRACTION IS THE LARGEST COASTER NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER & SOUTH OF COLUMBUS!"

    Benefits for Gold Passholders will continue to include free season-long parking, early ride time on select attractions, and other benefits like free membership in the FUN Perks rewards program. There's always a lot to be excited about at Kings Island.

    I believe it was FUN.
  44. Couple of my favorites: Talking about The Racer: Really? What's Boomerang Bay, Splash Works, Water Works, etc...?
  45. Time for some good news: And in a few years: Thanks Cedar Point for being a part of a new beginning for me. Last night I was going to divorce my husband on the wind seeker at the way top and he jumped before signing the papers!! Yes, I have a sick sense of humor!
  46. While waiting in line for the Lion Country Safari, it was announced that the trains' air conditioning was not working. I asked the ride op how hot it was on the train. He answered, "About as hot as Africa - makes the ride more realistic".
  47. KI allows coolers for those with medical needs. Performers that are not KI employees are also allowed to bring coolers in. Yet still, she has the typical "Rules don't apply for me" attitude and once they are told they can't do something, they throw a temper tantrum. Similar attitudes occur when a driver is pulled over for speeding- "Why did you single me out officer? They are speeding too!" Justifying breaking a rule because others are doing it too is quite pathetic.
  48. Lemme guess: your hair is now flourescent pink?
  49. Best night I've ever worked. Even with credit cards down, nobody swore/yelled/threw anything at me. Amazing.
