They were running both trains.... and using one station. With at least a 5 min load and unload, that left the other carload of people hanging upside down for at least 3 minutes. The were all lifting their heads after a short time. Maybe they will open the other side.....someday.

I wonder if lighter cars would actually make SOB rougher because of the lack of speed?

IMHO, I believe that the next attraction will go in Rivertown, regardless of if it is a coaster or a flat ride. That side of the park is in serious need of SOME rides.

The restraints were really comfortable. I wouldn't mind them on Flight of Fear, Vortex or any looping coaster.

How about a B & M hyper twister in Rivertown through the valley behind Tomb raider and around White Water Canyon. or a s&s power tower at X-base

I thought Fort Cooper was named after Gordon Cooper, the astronaut that saw a UFO? And it may sound stupid.... but who is Ms Cooper?

They should call it Fort Cooper and start a new theme area.

I'd love to see a hybrid water ride on Coney Mall somewhere around the Euro-bungee. A water coaster with a themed building with characters inside and a drop like Rip Saw Falls at IOA.

I'm intrigued! What does it look like??? The seating area directly infront of the 3d virtual ride is gone and covered in concrete. Directly behind the basketball game and working forward....there is a small wall that begins at about 4 inches and is level to the rice jewelry booth to about a foot high with a length of about 20 feet. directly center of the 20 feet and about two feet from the wall is a concrete circle about the size of the sling lock-down platform that is level with the top of the wall. at both ends of the wall and approximately 8 feet from the are two more concrete circles level with the wall. If you were to connect the circles you would have a k with the back to the baseket ball game. At the tallest part of the wall near the rice jewelry shop is located all of the electrical wiring lines and they have disguised the concrete circles with potted plants. Also there is an "excuse our dust" signs.

Something is being constructed infront of the virtual 3-d pay as you go ride , behind the basketball game. Perhaps it is a pay as you go attraction.

....which AZ restroom was supposedly dirty? And was it yesterday or Saturday? It was saturday. It was the restroom by SOB. Let me recount....the toilet furthest back in the restroom was overflowing with poop at about 6:00pm and the stalls really needed to be painted. Because there apparently was graphiti on the stall walls they were sanded and painted hastily. Granted, there was nothing that the cleaning personnel could do about that, because that is a maintainence issue, however it, along with the poop made the whole room look and feel unclean.

Nearly all of the chain link fencing is gone in Action Zone. Especially along Delirium and the entry way to Action Zone and around Days of Thunder with a new entry into the Stunt Grill from the Midway. The movie posters in Action Zone have been replaced with attraction and event posters. Coney mall has been repainted. The flower beds around the Eifel Tower have been replaced with sod. LOTS of trees have been trimmed. the walkways appear to have been washed clean adn there was no litter anywhere. It looked like the different department uniforms were also color coded. Sweepers were wearing yellow. food service blue, shops maroon and I didn't notice on the rides if the uniforms had changed. The restroom in Action Zone was REALLY dirty. Overall, the park was really, really clean. Last year, before Cedar Fair there was a milkshake stain in Action Zone for weeks and it only got dirtier as the weeks wore on.

Park of the fun of riding roller coasters is airtime, sliding in the seats and the element of danger of falling out. Now we are locked tight into the cars like we are going to an execution. They (Cedar Fair) have taken 90% of the fun out of riding them now.

Make the park an outdoor table service cafe, with wine ,candles, and light food. Could be romantic at night.

It sounds as if the kid/ kids were demanding a free ride (fast pass??) and had entered the exit. When they were told that they could not, they began to riot and the police were called. Apparently the ride was still operating when the riot escalated until the boy pushed the policman into the path of the ride. Man, what is the world coming to!!!

Believe it or not, it only rotated at 15 miles per hour and the drum was only 12 feet in diameter.

Maybe the fourth picture of the concrete structures is the on ride photo kiosk.

Come on....haven't you figured it out? Here is the equation.....P + H= $(CP) where P = CedarPoint (pimp) and H = Kings Island (Ho) and $(cp) = dollars for Cedar Point. From this point forward Kings Island is the Ho to Cedar Points Pimp. Only expect enough attraction dollars to bring in the real dollars for CP.

Only one thing concerns me.......lying on my back at ground level, within spitting and trash throwing distance. Are there any plans for a barrier from spectators?

^Wow.....I'd pay extra to go to that fearfest!

I think the Cowboy Carnage could be replaced with a haunted house that follows the theme of Dead Silence. I have attached a link to the website that explains the theme. http://www.deadsilencemovie.net/

Actually, the theming was there before Cedar Fair, and has been whittled away with concrete since CF took over. I went back in the 70's and KBF was quite comparable to Disney land. What they have now is several oversize rides that take the place of many other rides that were there before. The place is much, much smaller than Geauga lake, yet "foot print" doesn't seem to matter in this case. (Would you pay $5.00 to ride sky hawk? You will at Knott's) Don't get me wrong, it's a GREAT park, however, it seems that asphalt and concrete are cheaper than landscaping at Knott's. The only grass that I remember seeing was around Big Foot Rapids....anyway, glad you had a great trip.

Eat White Castles and Krystal burgers = leave brown stained underwear under UFO (see forum things found at KI)

I'd like to see more "River" type rides in Rivertown......perhaps a water coaster.
