RailRider

I have noticed how slippery it is. Especially coming down the stairs in to the ride station. Yeah painted wood is never real good for traction. Surprised that nothing has been done about it, because Im sure your not the first to fall and probably wont be the last. Glad your ok

Stupidity, lazziness, understaffing, poor planing. Not being concerned with the guest experience, instead concerned with get em through and get em out, you paid and we dont care if you enjoy the attraction or we provide you a quality product. Focus on other areas of the park. I am not saying this was the parks intentions, but compared to the other haunts this seriously is how I and other guests with me viewed these actions. Why dont you just turn the lights on and unplug the fog machines. I have still not hear a good explanation for last years actions.

I felt bad for the actors of PsychoPath last year, because it was a joke. They were trying their best to scare people, but like you mentioned Reclaimer it was almost impossible for them. I was very upset that I wasted my time to go through it last year and especially that in parts it was dead stop so you just had to stand there and watch em spray the water out of the toilet. Oooooo so scary wonder whats coming up next.

PsychoPath in the begining of FearFest was the best haunt in the park, but with the changes over the last few years has become a very sub par attraction. The fog isn't as thick and the continuous line is a joke. Will this years PsychoPath be a rebirth or will it be poorly executed like recent years past? I remember when they handed out the length of rope to your group and ordered you to go in to the woods and find the lost campers. I remember the fog so thick you could not see a foot in front of you. I remember the great actors that set the scene as you entered the trail. I remember the darkness... Will PsychoPath be Reborn this year? Lets hope so...

I figured it would be open after the haunts opened, because that seems like it would be prime time for people to get their pictures taken with the monsters. Especially seeing that people would be more in the mood, with the fog rolling, already getting scared a few times and those kind of things. Think of it as the on ride photo. You dont get it before you ride you get it on your way out of the attraction. I would imagine that is something that will change as the FearFest goes on.

There is nothing more amazing than to stand over in Battery Park on the shores of Lake Erie and look at the CP skyline at night. The light show on Milie is amazing, with the towering structure of TTD flooded in bright white spots. I think the lighting of the structure on Sonny along with the lighting of the Tower would add a great visual to KI at night. Even if you were to only do floods on SOB, would look better than nothing. The lighting on the tower for WinterFest was amazing. I think a strobe effect on the Tower would look amazing at night. Also the same strobe effect on the SoB structure would look great too. The addition of lights on a nightly basis would greatly add to the night time atmoshpere at KI.

Yes I can finally get my official KI FearFest picture with HauntGuy!!! Honestly sounds like a great idea, really a great way to get guests and the characters to interact. Should make for some great pictures. Another question is if you are the greeter at an attraction, but you are at the photo op instead of greeting or welcoming guests at Cowboy Carnage, is there someone else to fill in for you? Just wondering if you have a back up or work as a team in the haunts to set the scene?

Once again showing that the general public (non-enthusiasts) could care less about the various records or stats of coasters. That or our writer here is just a bad journalist Seriously the years of the coasters wars are grinding to a hault and we are going to see more rides like IJ:ST, Maverick, Voyage, and Renegade. Non are major record breakers, but all will or look to provide your average guest an extremely fun ride.

Just wondering who was going to be at Dry Run night and if anyone besides the great team here at PKIC would be posting pics, videos, or descriptions of the event? Im excited for this weekend and to kick the Halloween seasson off right.

Great Wolf is Huge!!! Cant wait till that place opens...

HauntGuy I will say hello when we come through Cowboy Carnage Saturday night... Cant Wait

It does make it stay on the track, but also the track must be very gradual, because the slightest variations will create the mags not to line up, hence making a train jump the tracks somewhat speaking. Think of as walking a tight rope at a high rate of speed. If the rope aint straight and tight your falling off.

Well with the substandard engineering that has led to the problems with SoB, you have to ask yourself if the current trains, which are extremely heavy, heavier than most trains, had something to do with the shattering of the vertical colum and the excessive beating that the track and structure has taken in Sonnies short life... Seriously how many circuits have those trains made, at their full load weight, honestly do you think the structure was done right to support that kind of weight? These are questions I am sure that KI and the State have investigated during this time. Can only hope that new trains result in from all of this. Kinda my wish list for 07

^ ^ ^ I would agree with that, plus if you used MagLev I would have some serious issues with the fact that the coaster train would need to levitate above the track. Also the track could not make sharp turns or hills because the coaster train would fly off the track. Hence the levitation above the track. Lets stick with LIM and LSM

Congrats on the co-op I expect reports from the inside MeanStreak is rough, but it is still smoother than its big brother Texas Giant I find Blue Streak to be quite a fun and airtime filled ride. Cant complain with the roughness of a coaster that old. Villian and Wolf Bobs aren't CedarFairs fault for their roughness. They are just stuck trying to fix it. To be honest I have never thought the WolfBobs were that rough, Villian yes. Honestly think it has something to do with the steel structure. Shivering Timbers is a great ride and pretty smooth for style of the ride. Overall I think CF does a good job with maintence, but we will see what they can do with SoB. Hey maybe they will lessen the trims on Beast during the brake shed. Love it when they have those on light.

I honestly think we will see Cedar Fair upgrade the dinning options at KI. Hopefully something along the lines of the MidWay Market will go in either at FestHaus or Wings and that both get some major makeovers. Wings and Festhaus both look rundown on the inside and honestly provide very little atmosphere. I think opening the I-Street resturant back up would be a tremendous idea. Especially if it were a full service resturant. No better place than sitting by the glass and watching the I-Street fountains while you eat a good meal and are waited on.

Woofer Here is crossing your fingers that Gaylord Entertainment is bringing back OpryLand. Afterall why else would the have purchased a 100 plus acres next to the resort and also trademarked the names OpryLand and OpryLand USA. Can only hope Opryland is rebuilt in its former glory. Would love to ride Chaos or the Wabash Cannonball again. The destruction of the park and creation of OpryMills was the worst and most sickening thing I have ever witnesed. Especially seeing as the fake rocks for Grizzly Rapids are still there, almost some kind of sick monument.

Lets see. ThunderHead -> Awesome Tenesse Tornado -> Smooth Arrow MultiLooper Blazing Furry -> Very unique and fun attraction Mountain Sidewinder -> Nothing else like it in the world. Simply Amazing DareDevil Falls -> Tremendous next gen log flume MysterMine -> Looks simply amazing The shows are first class. The only place that ever equalled the shows at DollyWood was OpryLand. I honestly beleive the talent at DollyWood is better than Disney. The shoping is amazing. Anything you could want and very unique gifts, plus you have craftsmen valley. Where else can you see a blacksmith, glass blower, wagon maker and candle maker in one place? The food is first class as well. Anything from a sit down home style meal to their excelent funnel cakes with fresh strawberries and whipped topping. Next time at DW you must get one of these. DW is worth ever penny, dont forget the scenery is amazing and theres a pretty nice water park next door.

Well experience some of the other attractions. They are really quite enjoyable. Also you do not know cold until you got out on the Cedar Point Penninsula in January or February. I was out on a 2 construction tours while they were building Millie and with the wind coming off the frozen lake it was so cold. Thank goodness they drive us back to the site because we would have never made it walking. Coldest I have ever been. Because of the cold is why Cedar Point closes earlier and opens latter than KI. Go to Halloweekends near the end of October and you will freeze if the temperature at night gets in the 50's because of the lake wind.

The Festhaus in recent years has not looked better than it did for WinterFest. Any change now would be great, because it needs some serious attention.

The description of WorkSite makes it sound like they have morphed part of WasteLand with it. With the nuclear fall out and everything. Also I brought this up earlier, but does anyone think that props from Cedar Points no longer used Toxic Tunnel of Terror could be used for the WorkSite. There were a lot of 50 gallong drums, work trucks, and construction props in the Toxic Tunnel of Terror. Just wondering since they are close in proximity and Cedar Fair is now in control. Sounds like fun

Honestly I was for the slots long before they tied some of the earning to scholarships. Seriously look how many people living in SouthWest Ohio go to Argosy and BellTerra why not keep those dollars within Ohio? Makes sense especially with money going towards scholarships and so forth.

There looks to be very little there in the way of OTSR. Which will add to the comfort of the ride and you will not be cramped like FOF or SoB. Will provide a very open experience for guests.

The ROI would be less complaints at guest relations, so the fine folks there could focus their time on more important issues. Seriously I imagine they get tired of the number of complaints received from SoB. Also by adding new trains and creating a smoother ride the park lessens the chance of frivalous law suits.

I could seriously see a change in trains coming by next year. Maybe something a little lighter, the current trains are so freaking heavy no matter what is done to the track the ride will always be rough. I mean seriously, giant plodding trains + flat steel rails = pain for most riders. I think we could see SOB hit its stride under Cedar Fair with some different improvements.
