Timberliners on Beast?! I honestly have never thought of that. But I bet a lot of people would argue that it takes away from its older feel. But that is a really interesting thought.

Yup. Just go out to the ticket windows first and you should just have to pay the difference.

Not that I knew of. Everyone has to have a gold or platinum pass to enter the ERT area.

I remember sitting out on the patio eating lunch at the employee cafe area and listening to Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield. And now every time that song comes on I think of that time. It was nice being out there all alone finally in peace so it's a good memory.

I really fell in love with Racer this year. It never really did much for me but I really enjoy it now. Thanks for sharing this great photo!

I posted as my facebook status on Friday as driving by the park at night confused as to Vortex was the only coaster with its lift lights on. And it also looked like Beast had its lights on at the top of the lift where the sign is.

I agree. That what ruins the ride for me. Hearing a song like that on a good ol' country train ride. I wish they would just play country or something music that was kinda unknown and put some actors at those buildings and make it a show.

Good one! The only objection I have to that is the midway mania arm that follows from pumping so hard.

Don't be stelin my record ya hear ........I mean it I actually might try for it sometime. I went on it 105 times last year but not all in one day. My most in one day was 36.

I just read something interesting on another forum. Someone said that they think the company might change their name to Cedar Fair? Same way Premier Parks renamed themselves Six Flags after buying the chain. Is that a possibility?

And just like that it happened. Dangit, I can't wear my Cedar Fair fleece to work anymore.

What does all of that mean? Is it good?

I drive by the park pretty often (every Tuesday especially) and I try to see if anything is going in. I am driving so it is hard to see but I can't really see anything going on. Of course I am driving and trying to keep my eyes on the road.

Very very interesting. I'm really confused about this though. Not about the debt but what the future of the parks is.

Didn't CP do that a few years back with Snoopy? They might have but I'm not sure.

I would love to see a marketing campaign with the peanut gang riding some coasters.

I call Flight Deck! Well I guess only on the days when there actually is a line.

Look at the post above yours.

I am so tempted to pull out my ID on people for smoking in lines and stuff. But most of the time I'm alone after work or something and I can't work up the courage to tell them off.

Thanks a bunch that means a lot! lol I guess you can expect some Kings Island photos when we open back up or if I find time away from school I would just like to go for a drive around my area and take some shots. I just use a Sony Cybershot DSC-W150. I really want to invest in something like a Nikon D40 or another kind of Digital SLR Camera.

Barbara Knoebel passed away yesterday November 27th. Here is a little info about here just in case you are unaware. Here is an article covering this sad news. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.roller-...b35a6ccc58e2457 It is always a sad day when we see influential people of great amusement parks pass away. My greatest condolences to the family and friends.

Thank you!! I really wanted to see how this went. It is great to see how many KICers went and shared their opinions!

I am in agreement. It may have not been a coaster that goes in everyone's top ten list but it certainly was not a Fail. They needed a coaster in that park and gave it a good effort. The music was awesome and it had a pretty good idea. Yes, I actually enjoyed to coaster. I am glad I made it my 100th coaster. Though I did really like the Mummy too.

I remember at Six Flags Great Adventure they had a movie about little aliens that went to space? I don't remember it very much but that would be a possibility.

I went on it in early November. It wasn't amazing but it was pretty cool. It was my 100th coaster so I was really pumped to ride it. It wasn't open when the park opened so we waited a half hour and it opened. I am so glad we waited because when we got off it was already a 45 minute wait. By the looks of it it looked like the capacity was pretty low. However the ride itself was much better. We sat in the second row. I didn't notice that the ride was very rough but I don't think I was paying attention to it. The restraints are nice. I was holding everyones stuff in my zipper pocket and the restraints didn't make it uncomfortable at all. When you pull down your restraint make sure you begin choosing your song quick or else you will not have enough time. I saw the rock category and saw Bring Me To Life and chose that. It sounded great and really got me excited. Going up the vertical lift was very interesting having never been up a vertical lift before. The first hill was alright but the next element was great! I forget what it is called but it is kinda like a Norwegian Loop. I thought that was fun. The break runs really slowed down the coaster more than I thought but the drop out of the first one was good and so was the break through the building. There was some good airtime going into the break runs. The crowd surfer was a little slower than I thought but still fun. Overall I thought it was a fun ride. Not worthy of my top 10 I don't think but still enjoyed it as my 100th coaster!
