Ugh I wish I was going to have a Gold Pass but seeing that I'm probably going to be working there... But anyway this sounds awesome! Me too Gator, I would be a card-carrying member too!

right but car tires and the wheels on a roller coaster are very different. This isn't a good source but I found this. It's from this site.

Well look at car tires. When they sit out side for a long time in the cold they change shape and everything (right?) I'm guessing it would be almost the same with wheels on a coaster? Terpy where are you!? We need your help!

Well on a roller coaster where a re-launch is not an option I guess they would have to do what they did when Raptor failed to complete it's course on that windy day. But I don't know what they did to fix that but I'm guessing it involves a crane?

That is really odd! But you just have that sense of humor that would seem really interesting to read in a book.

When I worked at SoB, on a Friday in the Haunt season (on a really cold night) we were bringing a train in from the block breaks out after the huge double helix after we ran blocks and the train hardly made it up to the final breaks. The cold makes a hug difference in how a coaster performs.

You should write a book, I would buy it! It would be about the amusement park industry but with lots of comedy thrown in.

Are you guys going to be making any other designs for your shirts on cafepress.com? I was just wondering because I was considering buying a shirt and would hate to buy one and then some new graphic come out.

When I think of changing the entrance I think of the old tram drop off/pick up spot. I would like them to do something else. I would love to see a really awesome and new kind of flat ride put in. Not sure where though. Maybe back by Firehawk and FoF or something.

^Those aren't weird but those are all very very funny! Thanks for sharing! I love the Haunt season.

Yay a nice person that wouldn't run away with it! That is pretty weird though. At least it didn't hit you in the head.

Most of the time I swear they weren't even 18. We need more park police/security.

nevermind....confusion

That's why when ever I worked load side at SoB on a crowded day I would look over the railing of the station for smokers. I caught 3 adults smoking in line in less than an hour. I would yell down and tell them to put out their cigarette and they would try to hide it from me! I just stared at them until they put it out finally. That makes me sick that they are doing it in a line let alone around children. Personally I loved busting people for that, gave me a good feeling inside. When ever I was at the park but not in uniform I wanted to tell people to put out their cigarettes but knew I would probably get beat up. lol

Grr I hate New England's sky ride. That is my old home park and people would always want to ride it. The line was huge and it didn't take you far at all. Same thing happened at BGE. We got on at the station closest to the entrance of the park and you got a cool view of Griffon but it was such a short ride for how long we waited.

Grrr I feel the anger too. I always scare my brother around the house...I'm practicing because I really want to work the Haunt this year if at all possible because I am going to be doing Admissions as well. A guy from our rides crew last year did Corn Stalkers and rides during the post season. Maybe I could try to do the same. Way off topic. Sorry.

^I thought that looked like Adventure Express with that bridge.

Didn't the train just get a renovation? Now we get an amazing look at Diamondback!

Yeah I agree with all of you. That's why I said I only want one if they take care of it. If not than make those two lines a front and back line. One of my peeves is when people take advantage of something and if it is at an amusement park...that gets me going.

That sounds so awesome. I'm not much of a monopoly guy but I would be if I had that!

I just moved back to the area this summer, could you tell me what Kings Island-opoly is? Or does it have to do with the site?

I agree but ONLY as long as it is ran by an attendant. People can really take advantage of a poorly run single riders line which can get very annoying. But then wouldn't someone have to tell people in the regular line where to sit?

Ohh I thought it was going to be a back/front line but I hope it's a single rider line.

Yeah I saw that last time I watched it. IMO that was a good decision to do. Well actually I wouldn't know because I never went on it without the tunnel but I still love it as is.

i agree with you 100% on the old breaks I prefer no breaks...
