^Well I did write Lance at Screamscape as soon as I got the text message this morning. So I'm sure it'll be on screamscape tomorrow morning for sure. I usually tell Screamscape what's happening with Kings Island. Lol

New at KI in 2011
They are saying it's the Tallest Ride King's Island has ever had? It's saying that it's going to be taller than Diamondback? Well what about taller than Drop Tower & Eiffel Tower(315ft)? They are considered "rides", therefore hinting the Tallest "Ride". So i don't know how tall those starflyer contraptions get, but over 315ft sounds good for a coaster, especially with the land clearing behind Son of Beast. That's my view on this.

What do you think could go in the place of Congo Falls
- A small B&M Invert or Floorless. Like this picture: http://rcdb.com/1549.htm?p=14954 (Just picture that parking lot as the Timberwolf Theater and you'll see what I mean.)

So what could be new for 2010?

Halloween Haunt 2010 Idea?
My friend and I were discussing stuff about possible Halloween Haunt attractions for the future. And he brought up that they could just turn Boomerang Bay into a Halloween Haunt area? Since it's closed during this time, you know. Ideas: - Turn wave pool into maze of some sort. - Make the lazy river a maze of some sort also (Maybe cornstalkers?) That's my ideas I just came up with. How about you guys?? - You like like the idea? - Like my maze ideas?? - Give me your thoughts. - Adam.

Favorite sound on Diamondback?
Most favorite: Well, Idk if anyone else has noticed but if you sit in the front seat and you're slowly approaching the crest and if you pay close attention, you can hear the start of the !!ROAR!! very quietly. I've noticed it a couple of times while riding it. Least favorite: That darn trim! I swear that you would get alot more air time if that was off.

SHOOT THE RAPIDS at Cedar Point
The feudin's been goin' on fer decades. Now, climb aboard and immerse yourself in one of the wildest water expeditions this side of the Appalachians! You'll board your boat inside the Crystal Rock Bottling Company and travel through rivers, around an illegal moonshine still and encounter some wild feudin' and fightin'. We still have no clue what they're fightin' over (it could be Whyte Lightnin'), but yer sure to be a part of it! The Shoot the Rapids adventure features two unique lift hills that drop you into roaring river rapids. You'll even encounter some surprises along the journey! Use the links on the left to explore all the details about the ride. You'll find interviews, computer animation, construction photos and facts about Shoot the Rapids. A webcam, available for viewing the entire construction site, will be installed shortly after Labor Day. Shoot the Rapids is scheduled to welcome riders on Opening Day, 2010!

KI needs an Intamin!
^ Yeah that's what I have been wanting at KI for years. A nice Strata coaster right behind Invertigo, and heading towards GWL. Not the best drawing, but you catch my drift?

Firehawkboy's Cedar Point PTR Opening Weekend
AS many of you guys are aware, Cedar Point's opening day was this past weekend and of course I went to it. I left about 5am to head up there. It was a cold, windy day. Brr. And to top it off, it must have been "Intamin's Don't Work Today". Top Thrill kept rolling back all day. Millennium Force kept running empty trains. Wicked Twister wasn't functioning right. The only Intamin running right was Maverick. But anywho, here's a few pics I took that I'd like to show you guys. Power Tower: Space Launch, which is amazing!! Wicked Twister: Very photogenic! Best pic of Wicked that I took. Mantis and Millennium Force. Beautiful Pic, in my opinion.

Firehawkboy's PTR of RWCW!
I had an absolute blast Saturday! I rode DB a total of 30 times yesterday, bringing my total to 41 times. Anyways, here's some pics that I took yesterday. (Ps, not the best pics) Beast's drop. Diamondback coming into splashdown. Diamondback going through splashdown. Again, Diamondback going through splashdown. Yet again, Diamondback going through splashdown. And of course, my ride photo. (Blue shirt, back seat)

Anyone else not allowed to ride Diamondback?
Yeah, the posts got deleted, so that's why it looks silly that my posts are still up there because it looks like i'm saying that to "sarapricex3". So no need to apologize.

Anyone else not allowed to ride Diamondback?
Thank you. Really, thank you!

Anyone else not allowed to ride Diamondback?
It's clear that you are in any way, not a roller coaster fanatic. Please, use a different website to post topics which are uncalled for.

Upcoming Coney Mall Addition?
I'd like a Skyhawk look-a-like there. That'd spruce up that area a little bit, eh??

your top 5
1. Diamondback - The best airtime I've ever experienced. Amazing ending. 2. Millennium Force - Beautiful first drop. Constant speed. Amazing over-banks. 3. Dominator (Batman: Knight Flight) - Insane drop. Beautiful layout. Largest loop ever. 4. Mantis - Amazing feeling. Oblique loop is orgasmic! 5. Raptor - LOVE the g-roll.

Kings island website is not IPHONE friendly! HELP
I totally agree with you. I myself have an iPhone 3G and I am rather upset that the iPhone can't read the Flash player. But as long as I can see the webcam on my iPhone, I'm just dandy.

Diamondback Buses?
It seems I didn't see this post at all and I went ahead and posted another post about seeing the DB buses. SO I apologize for that guys. Anyways, I saw one in Deerpark - It was one of the middle parts. And one in Norwood - The tail of it.
-
Have You Seen A Diamondback Bus?
If so, tell us: -Where you saw it. -What part of the snake was it. I know it's a weird topic, but oh well. I saw 2 buses so far. I saw one in Deer Park: It was the middle of the snake. Then I also saw one in Norwood: It was the end of the snake. I got SOO excited when I saw them!
