DeLorean Rider

You realize that is almost impossible. The Vortex is Arrow technology, and fof is premere. They couldnt "re-do" the trains, they would have to purchase new ones from premere. Its not worth it, they would have to contract the redesigning of the trains. Plus if they did do that, its going to be one more ride that larger guests can not ride. The ride is fine how it is, just sit in the front of a car and quit complaining. If it hurts your head then dont ride it.

Are we ever going to get off the topic of Vortex being removed?!?! Hey heres a fun fact, other than the station what part of The Bat is still being used on The Vortex?

Yeah then you get parks like Geauga Lake whose attendance is at a record low.

For the record, IJ may not be the most intense or extreme ride, but it is a great family attraction. Its a ride that people dont have to get flipped around and rocked back an forth to enjoy. The special effects and tunnels make it just a fun attraction. I've worked the ride all season and 98% of everyone that gets off loves it. Especially little kids riding with their moms, dads, and even grandparents. Paramount parks are really aiming to please a more family oriented crowed.

^he's right

Have you ever ridden one, I have. (one of my best friends is a foregin exchange student from germany) It doesnt feel like wood at all. It is entirely too smooth for a wood coaster. I would never dream of riding a ride like The Beast and having it feel like I was riding millennium force. Granted Son of Beast is rough, but if your going to spend the money on a coster that feels like it steel, then make it steel.

I doubt they were selling it as a whole ride, i have been back to where it is stored and it was definately cut apart with a cutting torch. They could have been selling the extra parts and stuff as spare parts for togo rides, but the only really good pieces of track that are left are the ones by sob. The others are all screwed up. Plus do you realize the daily repairs that went on at the king cobra, they had to re-weld things on a daily basis. Plus with Togo out of business, I dont think anyone would want to buy a 20 year old ride with no manufacture to buy parts from. You're right about screamin deomon though, i guess i havent checked in a while.

There is one camel back and then a sharp left turn. Is the file on the internet?

Winterfest is not stupid.

That pre-fabricated wood is a joke, it defeats the point of a wooden coaster.

All gold pass benefits end the 14th of august, including the speed lane on Italian Job.

They could never put king cobra back up because when they tore it down, they didnt take it apart piece by piece, they just took a cutting torch and sliced it to pieces. The other pieces are back behind the water reserve right down the road from where the Haunted Trail is during fearfest. (where the fireworks are launched) Screamin demon is at camden park but has been defunct for many years, the ride is irreparable, there are holes rusted through the rails and everything. To find it just search Thunderbolt Express.

if you download Keyhole at keyhole.com you can play with virtual earth and see newer pictures in color.

i like to eat funnel cakes and such in the paramount story, the tables and chairs are all there, but no one ever uses them.

Especially when the waterfall is on

Well the signs are still there so i was confused.

I think it could definately use a facelift, and maybe put some more movies in it, like recent ones, italian job for instance, or tomb raider. I say keep it though because it is the history of paramount. Plus there is nothing you could put there other than another carousel.

What is boarder cafe, by that do they mean like, south of the border, or what? (the map just says, new food location coming in '05)

gotcha

im pretty sure chippery is still there

King Cobra track is stored in two locations but it is not useable, for one its very corroded and rusted with holes in the rails and such, and several places, the track wasnt even unbolted, it was just cut with a torch to separate. Ever since Togo went out of business it was near impossible to get anypart for it so a lot of it was makeshift.

Originally KI bought 1200 acres of land, since then around 500 of those acres have been sold, they still have around 700 acres and only 400 are built upon.

Since there are no restrictions on choices, i must say Xtreme Skyflyer.

dont worry Kings Island bribes the bees not to sting people, the only time they do is if Kings Island doesnt give them theyre daily honey

just so you guys know, six flags co. is 3.4 billion yes billion dollars in debt, because of everything they keep building, and i think ki is better than any of those parks
