What is the Worst Ride You Have Ever Ridden?
Seriously, we need to start banning these threads!! There's one answer, and one answer only...the looped SOB! Period. Just ask some spine's and see what they tell you!! And btw, that didn't stop me from riding it, I just knew going in what torture to expect!!

Diamondback Station/Queue Art?
I'd say more like Behemoth, only with a different queue sign for D-back.... Btw, if the loading's anything like my precious Behemy...prepare to be lifting your arms up on the restraint check!! (which of course I never really did anyway! )

FUN Benefitting From SIX's near bankruptcy?
^^The building rides part may be true, however, a.) SF already built a gluttony of rides in the early and mid-90's anyway, and b.) SF deals are far better than what CF provides!!

Cedar Fair holds onto Geauga Lake
^^But is it true the Canadian real estate market is decent?? Canucks on other boards were claiming it is and that CF will have no prob's selling off their Major Mac manor...

How long would you wait to ride your favorite roller coaster?
^^Ahhh....'Terpy, you do love your Great Adventures, don't you!? I must say, even I am really missing some Bruna ride-operating myself!!

3 questions about things I noticed yesterday
Both no arms and no legs??? That sounds pretty scary!! I actually saw a video of a guy like that in the late 80's when I was like 8 years-old...it's an image I'll never forget nor want to see again!! (And yet, my Boxing Helena DVD sits a foot away from me...but what can I say? I'm a Twin Peaks fan and it's still sealed in plastic! )

But wasn't that XXyyzz Road interesting to see!?

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
Looks like they're done for the day as well... The way I see it, if the weather's good and they can do a lot, then there's nothing bad about trying to be ahead of schedule. According to Wiki Behemoth finished a month behind schedule, and I wonder if CF is just being more perseverant while they have the opportunity!?!

Columbus Blue Jackets at KI August 23
^^Yeah, I agree...for the past two years I've gone the Saturday before Labor Day weekend (with nice weather both times!) and the crowds were not bad at all!! More like a typical July/August Sunday (if that) and probably the best Saturday to go during Jul-Aug...school has just started for kids making KI less important now AND with Labor Day weekend the very next weekend, most people will be going somewhere then! Don't get me wrong, there won't be the walk-on's like the lucky people got this week, but I seriously don't think it should be bad. Good luck!!

What a difference 3 years-and new ownership-makes
^^I still think you need to hold off on the anointing oil...I can point to many things better under the PKI days!! Better SP prices, buy an 06 SP in Aug 05 and get rest of 05 free, BAFF days, cheaper food prices, Racer running backwards, better Boomerang Bay hours...should I continue??

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
^^Seriously, these construction workers are out of their skulls right now with this speed!! At this rate, I wouldn't think it's completely crazy at all to see the entire lift hill and drop done when KI throws their glorious gates to heaven open again on Friday, Sept. 19th!!

8-20-08 - Wonderful Day At Kings Island - One of the top 5 visits in my lifetime.
So is that why on the webcam last night at about 8:40 pm multiple guests could STILL be seen walking past the splashdown despite that 8:00 pm closing?!

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
I'm surprised no one else has posted today about the amount of work that's been done!?! The entire turn into the station is almost done!! Seriously, these construction workers need to slow down or else they're going to get a track cramp!

longest line
Wow! I feel pretty lucky!! The longest wait ever for any ride at any park in the history of my life!!...being in 5th grade (I think) and going on a school field trip to KI on a late Saturday in May (Memorial Day weekend??) the first year of Top Gun/Flight Deck and as soon as we got there at like 11 am-12 pm going straight to Top Gun and waiting almost 4 hours!!!!! Seriously, every inch of that queue was filled (including all that defunct queue under the station), and the line extended beyond the queue entrance to start....seriously nuts!! Had some bad Halloweekends waits at CP last year too! (but nothing over 3 hours!)

PTR Kings Island 8-20-08
Awesome little PTR from today!! I agree that the webcam doesn't come CLOSE to giving you a true perspective of all that track!! But I guess it's the best view I got at the moment from Indianapolis! But anyway, I had a couple questions I wanted to ask ya...first, why didn't you ride Delirium? 2nd, what was the Firehawk wait? (and props to KI for running two trains on this late season weekday!!) Finally, does your little bro only ride Racer and FD b/c he's scared of anything else OR not tall enough?? Sounds like a great day to go!! Here I was sitting in my office all day!!! (though granted making a pretty good salary to do so! )

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
^^So is that "thing" sticking up from the ground in the wider-shot splashdown view actually lift hill track?!?
-
Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
I just looked at the webcam and still no new piece of track!! Let's hope this is NOT a common theme of this track rigging!!

Holiday to add something big....
^^Dudes....it's been reported in various places that HW will likely be adding the world's tallest Log Flume ride built by Gravity Group...btw, the record is like 120' so it won't be THAT hard to top! But anyway, so I seriously think we can end all this Laser (which, I did start! ), Hypersonic, etc. talk non-sense!! Thanks!!

Labor Day Weekend - KI Employee Reunion
So now, would that lady in Cash Receipts (or A/P or whatever department it was?!) who stole $75K be welcomed at the Reunion weekend?Or for that matter will Barbara Colnar be welcomed as well?? I mean, will there be a "banned list" for former employees that were wretched and or just otherwise unsavory blokes during their time of employment???
-
The Official Diamondback Thread
^^No...my guess is he/she wanted to sit in front of that fence across from The Crypt and by that flavored ice shavings stand or whatever....but seriously, at this point they're not moving at THAT fast of a pace yet for that, and I even doubt serious track rigging will be happening during open park hours anyway. You're better off sticking with the webcam!!
-
Holiday to add something big....
^^Yeah, but that's the crappy Drop Tower kind like Superman was at Kentucky Kingdom!! KI's Drop Tower is much more comfy!! Like riding in a legitimate La-Z-Boy by comparison!!

Flight Commander
All I know is as a scrawny (but tall) little kid the OTSR's were crushingly restrictive!! Booo....no Flags!! nm, wrong company

Season Pass Upgrade Question
^^Honestly, it just wouldn't make sense that your 08 gold pass is now invalid...I could be wrong, but perhaps that free visit in 08 can be given to a friend or something... Btw, while funny, that's also a little mean what you did to your cat!
