Those old trains are just as rough and uncomfortable, as the new ones.

Article: Save Money at Kings Island
A good way to save money at KI is eat before you go, bring food and drinks in cooler and leave it in the car. Then when the time is right, go out to the car and eat your meal. Or when you leave the park go down the street to Toco-Bell or another place to eat.

KI TRIP REPORT.
I've done the same thing on Racer this year, rode it ten times in around an hour or hour and a half. DB can give me a headache, when you ride it five to six times in a row. That happen to me on the first Friday night(5-10) of the year, really don't know why.

2009 Golden Tickets
I still can't see why CP keeps getting the best award, it's just that they have over 70 rides. Do these people who vote go there in May or Oct when the parks under staffed, and it turns into a bad house? I think Busch Gardens Europe should get the award, there park is outstanding. I've been there during the week, and on the busy Saturday. Really could not tell a difference between the weekday crowd and Saturday's crowd, I mean the line for the rides on Saturday weren't that long, the longest was Griffon at 30 mins.

I think that Raven is better than Beast, Raven has more air time and more twists.

Favorite Part of The Beast
The 540 degree helix at the end, the first part of the ride to me isn't that great. And that retracking in the helix makes it even better.

Two Sundays ago I rode The Beast in the middle seat of the front car, it was still rough.

Pepsi Python Last Seat
The last and only time I've ridden Pepsi Python was during when my mom's company picnic, at the bottom of the first drop it felt like my back wanted to snap. One ride is enough for a coaster count.

Favorite sound on Diamondback?
Yeah I can remember hearing it from the parking lot, I rode in the front car on my last ride Sunday, It was so great you can really hear the roar over the screams.
