TopThrill

I'm coming up there on my off day the 30th, in the morning. Hopefully the kiddies will still be in school. I tryed to wait for it Sunday and wow, I didn't have that kind'a time.

I'd say for Kings Island, the longest would have to be Son of Beast not in 2000 but the next year an 1 hour 15 mins. In 2000 in October we waited 35 mins for SOB. And for Cedar Point, Top Thrill Dragster In 2003, waited 2.5 hours. And yeah there was a 30 min break down. We waited for it two times that day, one ride in the morning and another later at night.

Right now there are the same amount of can's in the park as last year, just that the Kings Island stick's make them stand out. Were suppost to get new ones this week, during preseason I helped clean just about every restroom. It toke forever, Thursday and Friday those stickers were put on the can's. But the park does look cleaner than last year, big time.

Great trip report, yeah the park does look and feel cleaner. The ride's that I saw were running better on Sunday, thanks for giving park cleanness a A+. MOD Edit: Please refrain from posting privileged information.

Hay I'll be there in a yellow shirt

Working a double both days, so can't.

I can say from working those BAFFD's, I'm so glad they won't be returning. Just from that fact that during launch time on I-Street, you can't move around to sweep let alone push or pull a cart throw the crowds. I'm glade I missed the last one, think it was in July. Face/Off's line was full and the line went all the way back to Stunt Crew Grill. So yeah employees don't like BAFFD.

That building is for use of porter potties, by the way nice pictures.

Thank You pkiridesmaint, for those amazing pictures of Cobra.

Yeah thanks pkiridesmaint for posting those pictures, a metal should be made.

Wow thanks for those construction pictures, keep them coming.

I think Coke is staying, there still in the park this late to opening day. But Pepsi would be nice.

Those red coats are still doing good.

About what was said above, I've heard one park would be keeping there paramount logo's. Yes were getting new trash can's to, for Firehawk and other spots that need them. So Kings Dominion look great, I would say Kings Island will be shinning on its opening day.

Thats a load of crap, like said above move it you don't like the nose.

You have a really nice item in your collection, wish I had that.

I've heard of that, I wasn't there when IJ was new. That during clean up the ride is open for a hour, for employees to ride it and give there info on it. Hope im there the day that happens for Firehawk.

I do agree, some times I don't feel safe riding Vortex. Because if something goes wrong, which Vortex hasn't had any problem's (That we know of). I would feel safer is Vortex got some kind of belt added on.

I would like to see a video cam to.

I have seen some track peices going up, and being put in place. That hole area around Firehawk no go zone, construction traffic only. That also includes the back road behind Firehwak. So they got ID's now, guess I'll get mine this monday then.

I'll be there, must likely working.

The house inside the fort was used by Gen Serv years ago, one of the floors was used as a office. I've never seen the house at all, but I'm trying. All I know is the front of the house is pointing towards the the water park.

I was looking around and found this, a list of all the major park's with there time lines. What sets this apart from other time lines is, some of the years listed had that years cover of the park map displayed. http://timelines.home.insightbb.com/pki_years.htm

Nice pictures TopGun1993.

We drove by the construction site today, its really neat seeing that iron be lifted into thin air like it was nothing.
