HoliWood Nights OR CoasterMania, but not both, or not all of both
Shucks, well I guess I should have ridden Georgia Cyclone back seat instead of front....

BUSCH PARKS: BLACKSTONE, now what?
Anyone know what this will mean for the said B&M Dive Machine Contract with Busch?

Which is more fun?
Even before I ride a coaster, I watch POV's. So usually I know what's coming up. But if I had to pick, I'd say the best part about roller coasters is riding new ones.

The Voyage is NOT as good as they say it is. It's BETTER. 'Nuff said. Unless you're talking about Terpy. Why don't you enjoy Voyage as much, Terpy? I think it has pretty good laterals.

Halloween at EnterTRAINment Junction
I went last year and enjoyed it. I plan on going next weekend.

If someone says that CP is the best park cause they have the most coasters, I agree. That's a horrible way to judge a park. That statement is why CP is not my favorite park. Thanks for pointing that out.

HoliWood Nights OR CoasterMania, but not both, or not all of both
Hmm, I plan on getting an ACE membership, but I'm not sure which one I'll go to. This year I went to CP 7 times, and next year will most likely be similar. However, I've only been to Holiday World once, so I'm leaning towards HoliWood Nights. Plus the Voyage is just amazing.

HAUNT 2009 commercials...
I also caught a glimpse during Channel One at school, but not the whole thing.

SFKK Fright Fest Reviews
I had just written a TR, but I accidently hit back (again!), so I'll make this short. Asylum 6: On the website it says, "haunted hospital." What it should say is, "neat looking building with crazy people, unclear directions, and pitch black hallways." It was pretty well themed, with some nice scenes, like a kitchen and courtyard. Makeup/ costumes were decent. Definitely not up to KI's standards. Acting was good. Major props to the spinning tunnel. We went the wrong way like 3 times, and we accidently skipped part of it. Oh well, it was still pretty good. 7/10. Woods of the Wicked: Horrible. Absolutely awful. I guess we should have listened to the people coming out of the exit saying, "You'd be better off in the park and wasting your money instead of your time." There were probably 10 scare actors, and it lasted about 3 minutes. Scenery consisted of various camping equipment, like a brand new colorful tent, that completely fits in with scary things. 2/10, and that's being generous. Other stuff: It was 55 degrees, and 7:30, and Deluge (my favorite waterslide, similar to Wildebeest coming to HW next year) was the only water ride open. My friend and I were fully clothed, yet we still rode it 3 times. We were wet the rest of the night. It was the most fun thing since the school year started. Elvira's House of Superstition was not playing as advertised, but they said it would be there next weekend, while I'll be paying my patronage to HH, Junction Nightmare, and Stricker's Grove. The park was empty, and we marathonned Greezed Lightnin'. Chang is already being disassembled. Sad. Breakdance is an insane ride. T2 did not fail to live up to the name "hang and bang". You know how HH has barely any children? Well here the children in costumes outnumbered the teens and adults combined. Ride Count: Roller Skater: 1. Secrets of the Lost Temple: 1. Greezed Lightnin': 11. Road Runner Express: 1. Thunder Run: 1. Giant Wheel: 1. Deluge: 3. T2: 1. Breakdance: 1. Tin Lizzies: 1. International Carousel: 1. Asylum 6: 1. Woods of the Wicked: 1. Total: 25. I think that's it. Once I find my cardreader I'll upload some Chang pictures. Thanks for Reading!

ONE RIDE
Am I incorrect or did I recall CP saying TTD was the worst decision they've ever made money-wise?
-
ONE RIDE
Voyage! Although we wouldn't really need it, it's my favorite. I think KI could really use Alpengeist.

The flags on International Street
^Woops, guess I need to learn my flag etiquette.

The flags on International Street
What time? Flags are supposed to be raised and lowered at sunrise and sunset respectively, so maybe they forgot to raise it?

Haunt 2009 Poll
Hmm my favorite this year so far is Tombstone, but I haven't done Trail of Terror yet this year, which was my favorite. Not to mention the only ones I've done are Tombstone, Trail of Terror, Urgent Scare, Worksite (which is gone, thank God), Cemetary Drive, and Club Blood. I'm not voting til this weekend when I'll have a good idea.

Thanks Kevin! Mind if I add this to the article? No problem!

Fountains Gone Next Year?
^Yes but Spirit Song is pretty good, and it happens annually. But no the Naked Brothers Band are horrible.

2009 Halloween Haunt Reviews
Tombstone Terror-Tory: This one was pretty good. It's very long, with many crates, which are obvious hiding places for dead cowboys. Although there are also some pretty good scares, like the guy jumping down from the rafters of the bridge. It's pretty good, but not "Trail of Terror" good.

Hot Blooded Review
As I was walking by the stage around 11 on Saturday, they were using the pyrotechnics, but not for a show. I assume they had no more shows.

Tombstone
8/10. Trail of Terror is amazing though. 9.5/10

Dvo's day at Holiday World
Who doesn't like the Voyage? Well I know Terpy likes others more, but it's an undeniably great ride. The airtime is awesome, and I loved the spaghetti bowl almost as much as the airtime. IMO, Voyage is true coaster perfection. My #1 Overall coaster, without a doubt.

Tombstone
I liked Tombstone Terror-Tory more than Club Blood and Cemetary Drive, the only other ones I did this year. It's very long, with cowboys jumping out of predictable crates. There will be a few good ones though...and there are also fake snakes. When I walked by, I yelled "HEY LOOK! IT'S A Diamondback!" Hahaha I like this maze though.

Kings Island Brady Bunch airs today
It should have been almost a hop, skip and a jump to the front of the park to get those plans to Mr. Brady. Of course, they never tell you the name of the park in the episode, they simply say an amusement park in Cincinnati. I guess that can give them some artistic license. Yes, but the log flume (Kenton Cove Keelboat Canal?) clearly says "Kings Island" on it, haha.
