Coney Islander

Sounds like National Geographic should have chosen Son of Beast...

Whoa... this is starting to look better than Diamondback... Is that an inversion...?

If it's possible, I reckon they should remove the paint all together... Purple, Pink, and green just don't remind me of a wooden coaster... Edit- Brown and and Yellow would look great.

The only ride I ever get sick on is Flight of Fear. I don't know why, but my last two visits to Kings Island I felt sick for hours after riding it... but I still love it and ride it at least once every time I go. The only other ride that continuously makes me feel sick is the Super Round Up at Coney Island, and that sick feeling only lasts for about a minute.

Rectangular supports? Is this something I just haven't noticed, or is it new for Intimidator 305?

Kings Island- 2 Coney Island- around 28 The Beach- 1

These names are really bad. Crabbie Cabbie? Wha? And did someone not notice Flying Ace Aerial Chase/Balloon Race? If you read Peanuts comics, Lucy is a very crabby and sarcastic character. I actually, think most of these names are pretty good; Lucy's Crabbie Cabbie's is my favorite. And for anyone that doesn't like the Peanuts, the comics are much, much funnier than the tv specials. I read the comics all the time, have the complete first 4 years and a bunch more, and the tv specials are horrible compared to the comics... I really don't understand how the creators of the tv specials did such a horrible job...

I'd say Top Thrill Dragster, the entire ride is a very high speed, and it goes very, very high. 2nd place would be The Dent Schoolhouse this year. It was MUCH scarier than USS Nightmare, and the chain saw chase-out is so intense, almost everyone RUNS out full speed!

That's amazing! Really that much? Anyways, I got 4 or 5 rides on Diamondback in 2 visits, and I got exactly 50 rides on Coney Island's Pepsi Python. (around 28 visits)

^ That's interesting... I was planning on going that day, but it got cancelled the day before we left, and we went the next day. One of my best memories was getting a scare from that giant Jack in the Box.

Carowinds, Thank You for posting that! I think the names are very creative. Especially Lucy's Crabby Cabbies; reminds me of quite a few of the Peanuts comics I've read. I'm really hoping that Fairly Odd Coaster is not renamed Woodstock Express, like every other park seems to have... YAY for Beastie!!

^ Just remember to wake up before you reach the ground!

^ No, not to the public, but construction is progressing at a very high speed.

^^ Sweet! Same with me.// Anyone notice that Terpy hasn't posted anything for almost a week? Yet, an Anonymous member just logged out...

^ Did not... but there is a good chance I will be going to Knott's next year! I have never been farther west than Illinois, so this is a big trip for me!

Cheers! For a wonderful offseason on KIC!

I've been really wanting to take a trip here. Keep in mind, this is one of the only places where you can experience a classic Fun House.

To think, Kings Island could have received Mystery Mine, which happens to be my favorite ride and could've gotten FIVE highly themed dark rides (Spongebob Boating, Addams Family Values, Mystery Mine, Soundwave, a better themed Tomb Raider) I do not like the idea of the Coney Mall retheme, but any good dark ride would make up for that, at least for me. But to think about it, we likely would not have gotten Diamondback, BLSC, Drop Zone, or Invertigo... I don't know about most of you, but I would rather have the five dark rides. (assuming they were themed, and were themed well) Sadly, I believe that dark rides are a thing of the past...

Intimidator looks like it'll give the best experience, likely better than Diamondback because of the additional sharp turns on Intimidator. Intimidator 305 has the coolest color scheme, and the most speed. Diamondback has the best location, theming, and a splashdown. They all look like great rides!, but Intimidator wins by a smidge, followed by Diamondback, followed by 305.

Little Bill's Giggle Coaster= Chucky's Giggler And welcome to KIC!

I feel a more family oriented coaster would go better in that area, maybe a terrain woodie, or a terrain invert. Thinking about it, a terrain invert is a pretty good idea...

yay... if only that had the 1st part of the restart and and intros... and the prank Last year I went to Kings Island on a day where the park was empty, and I convinced my friends to wait and watch the pre show. We walked into the room right during the "prank" part and they lost interest immediately... Still it has to be the best part.

^ Thanks for that! I really love the FOF preshow, and now I can watch it all winter long!
