Racerrider

I LOVE the stacker, I always win at milano's too my favorite game at KI is probably the ring toss or the squirt thing. I love how at KI the games and food places stay open after the park closes, unlike at Carowinds, where on weeknights they close at 8pm, and when the park closes, EVERYTHING closes.

ughh i can't stand that stuff.....black rasberry chip from greater's however, is a totaly different story

Yep I took those on Tuesday around noon. The Manta however was testing Wednesday Night, I might post some pictures of Manta later

Here are some pictures I took of the ride from City-Walk on Tuesday (sorry, they're sideways)

Thats actually a really good idea, they should put a marquee board on i-street that displays wait times for like the 15 bussiest rides in ki (sob, beast, Vortex, fof, Firehawk, db, dz, racer, etc.)

You can really see the layout of the track now! Before it was really hidden back there, but the bright orange really helps, and Vortex'll probably be gettin some increased attention in '09 since they just put a bright red & yellow 230ft GIANT next door

looks like restrooms to me, but i'm only about 45% sure..... When the camera turns it is blury for a few seconds

Woa the db entrance plaza is coming along good!

That bus idea is really cool! Good way to pump up everyone for this huge coaster! wait......does the RTA even run to KI?

thanks, and darn it! well, I knew it wouldn't be open this early, but I was hoping for the "impossible dream" as terpy puts it.

This is sort of a stupid question but does any one know when Manta opens? I'm going to SWO next week and I can't find anything that says when it opens on their site.

Is it just me, or does the water look sort of a teal color?

probably not, but I don't keep tabs on stuff like this so I may be wrong.

11-19!

If we can't use Drop Zone how come this amusement park in El Paso can? http://www.westernplayland.com/

i am mixed about this, I call Drop Tower - Drop Zone, and The Crypt - The Crypt, and Flight Deck - Top Gun, and Back Lot Stunt Coaster - the Back Lot, and I call the fairly odd caoster - The Beastie, and Invertigo - face off. I mostly do this because they are the easiest to remember, and I've never in my life been at the park and heard someone say the fairly odd coaster or Invertigo, they also sound kind of dumb to me, and IMO "Drop Tower" is the stupidest name for something possible. Why not call Vortex the blue and orange ride? Drop Zone is such a great name and I don't know why the heck Cedar Fair changed it. As for Italian Job - Back Lot, not that many people could even remember to call it the Italian Job, so I think Back Lot suits it beter.

^Well I visited Cocoa Beach about 3 years ago, and I HATED it, along with all the other Atlantic Coast beaches I've been too. The Atlantic Ocean smells, the water is filthy, and the sand is soooo coarse. My favorite beaches are South Padre Isl. beach, Mustang Isl. Beach (aka Port Aransas), Padre Island Beach, Galveston Beach, and Newport Beach. The Gulf and the Pacific are much more appealing to me. Back on topic, Beast anihalated Xcelerator, 78% to 21%

There are little people standing in the Lahar now...

whats with the two red things by LaRosas? The one on the right almost looks like a piece of track, but I'm 150% positive they installed all of the track considering they are far into testing the trains

they do sell lemon chill and dip'n dots in mavericks que now that you mention it, and this que looks VERY similar to Mavericks, especialy with the sign, well the backside of the sign, that is

don't know, but it looks like they just painted/tinted the walkway, put some trees in between the que and the handi-cap entrance, and there are some metal things towards the back of the que, which i think will hold up some sort of shade structure, and will go in the dark square things in the main que area.

Does Vortex even have any switchbacks? I thought its just a que through the building and then around the side of the midway....but I think even with these switchbacks on DB, the line will be waaaaaaaaaay out into the midway, mabeye even for 2 whole seasons....like they said over and over, this is the "biggest" thing to happen in KI's history.

well don't we sell ber at the festhaus and at boomerang bay? I've obviously never bought any, but I don't remember if I did or did not see those "NO Alchohol beyond THIS point" signs

sounds confusing. I hope Mr. Kinzel knows a good pyschologist

well I dont agree with what they're saying about how Cedar Fair is in the same boat as Six Flags financialy...they aren't planning on putting 3 more coasters in KI for 2009 now are they?
