http://www.KICentral.com/photos/displayimage.php?pos=-4699 anyone notice the same balck fence that we see EVERYWHERE at Cedar Point.... MF, Wicket Twister and TTD all use that same style. you'd think there might be a little bit of variety at some time... haha... a sign of repetitiveness to come?

i too was at the park yetserday worked the larosas stand in the festhaus for work.... since i'm a larosas employee and htey were short handed, they send us up there a few days during th beginning of the season as soon as my shift was over, i headed over to Delirium. did anyone else notice the ride seems longer this year? more full swings?? seemed like it to me! it was awesome. unfortunately i then had to leave the park and head to my other job... haha but a great day none the less.

3 hours for top gun, opening weekend 4.5 for fof opening day 3 hours each for drop zone and face/off in 99.... that was a crummy night.... it was seriously sleeting in our faces on faceoff... haha... 6.5 hours for TTD in 03. opening day.... went for that reason only... was it worth it? one word..... rollback..... seriously.... the long wait made it that much better....

i have an unprocessed 2006 gold pass. worked so much i didnt have a chance to make it up at all last season anyway, just wonderin if anyone knows if i can upgrade that to a pass for this year, and how much that would cost... or if i should just trash it because its no good. any help is appreciated. thanks, kevin

think about it in money terms too.... adding seatbelts probably , and i say probably becuase i really have no idea, but it probably reduces their insurence premium for said rides quite a bit.

what a great cure for the offseason blues! thanks!

lets get back on topic. who cares about delirum or maxair, its the same ride! anyone heard more about x-flight? i sure wish shaggy would show up and give us a little insight! and ya know... i have been thinking....i dont know if this has been mentioned before, but CF said they were going to go ahead iwth paramount's plans... so whatever is coming in 2007 was probably planned before CF took over, and X-Flights removal was probably planned before hand as well. This makes it more likely to me that it would go to a previously owned CF park. I'm hoping for PKI, but i'm betting on MIA right now. anybody wanna chime in?

well we all know x-flight was originally slated for PKI the year after Stealth opened. Those plans were scrapped by paramount and Six flags put the coaster close to the park it was orignally inteneded for. Same with Batwing i believe. Anyone know where in the park the coaster was orignally supposed to be installed? if so, that could be a hint as to where it may end up now. i mean the surveying and such was probably already done when this coaster was planned for pki, since we know its a long process of planning, purchasing and constructing. is there something else wehre the coaster was suppsoed to be placed? if not, we could probably assume that if it is coming to PKI it will go there. honestly, i have heard nothing but bad things about these coasters. there are only three in existance from vekoma, so stheres probably a reason for that. sure i'd love the addition i'm sure, but it cant be that great of a ride, or the concept woul have taken off, and we'd see a lot more of these things around. p.s... also laughing at maureen's sig: "soaring through the offseason" oooo... fuel to the fire.

why would ride names change when the paramount theming was part of the sale? I believe it was a 5 year deal between Paramount / CBS and Cedar Fair for naming and theming rights of the paramount properties. at this point, i dont see any name changes anytime soon. it just wouldnt make sense to pay for the theming and then do away with it all.

did you get an answer? i have the same problem... dont want the pass to go to waste, but at the same time i dont knwo when i'll be able to make it to the park before the end of the sason...

quick question... dont know if anyone knows the answer or not... dont know if this is in the right place or not... but here it goes i havea 2006 gold pass. i have not yet gotten it processed since i am working 60 hours a week and have been unable to make it to the park... since it is not processes will there be anyway to renew my 06 pass since with limited operation is kinda stupid to process it now? or should i go ahead and do it should i make it to the park sometime this year???

huss filed for bankruptcy.... so we''ll see if they have any giants left in their warehouse they might sell cheap.... ha ha

Hey Everyone.... Just wondering if anyone has an update on Strickers Grove out State Route 128 in Ross. Its a small park that i know we've discussed on this site before. I used to spend all kinds of time there as a child / teen. now i'm 21 and heard last year that the park had purchased the old spinning lady ride from Cedar Point that was closed after the 2004 season. upon hearing this rumor, i drove out to the park and did see the parts on site, however i havent seen or heard anything since then. Anyone know if Strickers Grove still plans on opening this ride in the park? Or was it purchased to just sit and die? I was really lookin forward to having such a great ride so close to home....

maybe i'm way out of the loop.... but hat happend to avtar being a Disk-o coaster like SURVIVOR.... what happend? What kind of car is that on the track? does it do anything special or just go back and forth?

www.dementofilms.com thats my friends production company, got a few short films up on the site. check it out! - shameless plug, but well worthwile in my opinion! ha ha

hope your idea of having fun sitting in an empty parking lot.... CP does not open until may the 6th, according to their website.....

"Hit the bullseye on the air conditoner by Vortext steps with a penny. collect $1000" anybody know what i'm talkin about? i'm sure you do!

"Caught Line Jumping" Go Directly to jail. Do not stop for any attractions, do not collect dippin dots or potato works fries...

look at the festival of lights at the cincinnati zoo. This has been a huge success for many years, a few decades even. there is nothing more to do at the zoo than look at all the pretty ights, ice skate, and see the maybe 5 animals that arent curled up inside.... yet still the guests come pouring through the gates night after night, year after year.

you're probably thinking of the "CONGO" movie experience, which was housed in the large bubble (laser tag arena) next to the old flight commander site.... it was here i beleive in maybe 1997 and featured a lot of props and mechanics from the movie, based on gorillas, if you've never seen...

shaggy, you never cease to amaze me. i have never once read a post of yours that i did not agree wtih, or get some very important message out of. i applaud you for your knowledge and insight. you are clearly the most inteligent, reliable source on these boards on a near daily basis. i salute you

what time does the park close sunday? no way i'm missing the bengals game! ha ha.... (i guess i could bring my little mini tv for waiting in line)

first of all.... listen to shaggy. as someone that has been around these sites almost since their creations, and well before the merge, shaggy knows what he is talking about. if he says it isnt a mack, then it isnt a mack. second... noting the first point, shaggy seems to have confirmed it will be one of the new disco coasters. hopefully with a nice layout, maybe with some banked turns and airtime.... not just a bunny hop and hill like the prototype pictures seem to show.... thats what i'm going with, but as we all know, nothing is certain until an official announcement!

from the enquirer: "Parents and grandparents can all ride them together. For example, the Phantom Flyer - where you lie on your stomach or on your back next to mom, dad or grandma - simulates you flying just like a super hero." sounds like the "chance aviator" to me... there is one just like it at PKD, seein in the photo here: theFlatrides.com PKD Aviator as for the avtar, "a first of its kind coaster"?? i wonder what kind of coaster it could possibly be.... let the speculation begin. do we think we are lucky enough to get two coasters in one year? could spongebob be the wild mouse we've been waiting so long for??? I hope so, but i doubt it. and last but not least.... why no mention of the nicktoons car wash! why do we still have the tiques sitting around???

i got excited when i erad "next week" thinking i might actually be able to take part in one of these.... finally then i realized i was misled by ryan and it will actually be 2 and a half weeks..... by which time i am already back into the swing of school at UC.... BOOOO!
