Can you imagine waiting in line for Congo falls with all the switchbacks being used? wow. I wonder when the last time that was?

I just spent 2 hours looking at 2011 flashback till opening topic. . Great photos! Excited for flashback till opening 2012

When is the last time they used Switchbacks on Racer? Anyone ever seen them in use?

Great Video! Haven't been to Cedar Point since 05. this video makes me want to go back so bad! thanks for sharing

I'm Guessing 2010

21st or 28th is my guess

Hm, so maybe around April 19 like two years ago. The 19th is a Thursday though, I thought they were only open on Fri, Sat and Sun in April?

On Dec 16th I tweeted Kings Island saying i was excited and couldnt wait until the park opened, and they tweeted me back saying "just a little over 4 months" .

Just wait and see...

The building might still be there. But it will not be open is 2012

The Crypt is not going to be around for 2012. I'm willing to bet money on it.

This is the best topic ever on KIC!

What I dont understand is they have wheelchairs to rent in the park, But yet they expect these people that are going to rent them to walk from the parking lot to the entrance?? Doesnt make sense to me.

I would love if Ohio had a park that looked like Busch Gardens Europe. (Never been to Tampa) Busch Gardens is by far my favorite park. Iv'e Been To Bush Gardens in Tampa, it is also very beautiful

I do it more than just in the front seat, thats just my favorite. lol

lol, we have dirty minds.....

Yea def the double Helix, for me too. Most of us though i don't think minded the roughness, or else we wouldn't have kept getting back on it. Some People like it Rough. lol

Congo falls is one of my favorite rides, because there is never a line, and really its almost just as fun to stand on the bridge and get wet. When i was a kid, my cousins and I would stand on the bridge for an hour straight and have more fun getting hit with a huge wave then even riding. lol

When my Uncle and I went to the park back in 2005, we rode SOB, it was his first time.It was a very rough ride as usual. The rest of the day he wouldnt ride anything else because his back hurt, he had troubles with his back after that, and eventually had to get back surgery a year later. he never pursued a lawsuit because he would never do that. He had had hurt his back years before but didnt have troubles with it as recent as 2005, but he pretty much knew he took a risk when he rode it knowing he had back problems before. Plus i warned him it was rough. heck I even had bruises on my legs, but I knew what to expect when riding it. But again i only weight like 105 lbs, so i get beat around pretty good when i ride wooden coasters. lol

It looks like that is the only lamp left in this picture. Does it even work? If you notice all the lamps from 1974, and then now in 2011.

I havnt been to Cedar Point since 2005

If KI loses Crypt i will not care,and Im willing to bet its not going to be around much longer. I have rode it twice maybe, and that was back when it was TR:TR and even then I didnt care for it.

I agree, 2013 is the year. I think SOB will again sit for 2012. They will at least announce something next season.

How often do KIC members meet up at the park during the summer as a group?

This is something I hope to participate in in the future. i really wish I could have went. iv'e always wanted to go "behind the scenes". Does GOCC have events like this a lot at Kings Island? What about in this spring?
