Kentucky Kingdom
And I'd recommend you not worry about what I post. Have a nice day. Anyway I won't waste my time or money on Kentucky Kingdom as i do not value that park at $40 for a day if that's indeed what pricing is when it comes out. That is pretty much the same reason why I did not visit the park last year.

Most all Automatics these days have the option of being shifted manually. In the old days they had D,2 and L for this purpose.

Red Track spotted at Batavia Steel Plant
Yes there is. Bummer I will never get to experience any of it. A friend of mine lives in South Korea and has been to some cool parks in Asia. Edit: Scratch that, I may be looking to relocate to Europe in 2017.

Red Track spotted at Batavia Steel Plant
I can see it now. New for 2016 at Cedar Point. The WIDEST Dive Coaster in North America.

Red Track spotted at Batavia Steel Plant
Thanks for the USEFUL input. I was not aware of this, the only Dive Coaster experience I have is with Shiekra, which is why I mentioned it and took some pics today. That said, using their last few installs as a guide. Cedar Fair will not be installing ( IF they are even installing one) a small Dive Coaster. Wouldn't surprise me if it requires BIGGER track than any other.

Red Track spotted at Batavia Steel Plant
Sorry to double post. The pics from Clermont Steel don't look like Dive Coaster track. At least not Shiekra sized. Notice the extra width and straight connectors. Dive Coaster track is massive. Normal sized track (Kumba) with the typical curved connectors for reference.

The pieces of track in the picture....aren't Green.My guess is, B&M Coaster....some park.....on Earth. What color if not green? Are you color blind and unable to read? The pieces are Red.

Fanny Packs, BackPacks, Carry Bags
Just use one of the $7 all day lockers or 50 cent ride lockers.....wait, wrong park. Anyways, I bought some cargo shorts for my trip to BGT to activate my pass. Was nice to not have to worry about anything in my pockets.

Kings Island Food Prices?
Yes. the one time I ate there was VERY good. If only the rest of the park food was even half as good.

SeaWorld Twitter Campaign Blows Up
Hold to your head and talk, the mic will pic up your voice. The fella in the video isn't doing that. I'm talking about the folks that remove it from the side of their head, hold it front of them and speak directly into the bottom of it. Place it back to face to listen and hold it back in front of them to talk into the bottom. You don't have to do that and it drives me crazy. I'm weird like that.

On a side note. People that talk directly into the bottom of their phones annoy me to no end.

Should You Feel Safe on a Roller Coaster?
^Exactly. I LOVE riding with first timers.

Should You Feel Safe on a Roller Coaster?
Familiarity breeds Contempt. You can only ride the same thing so many times before it becomes a bore. My last couple trips to KI were just not the same as a couple years ago. I could never be like Mr.Coleman and others that take thousands of rides on something.

Kentucky Kingdom
http://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/tripideas/10-best-amusement-parks-for-2015/ss-AAah75p#image=6 Interesting. There is nothing in Kentucky Kingdom that makes me think...I HAVE to visit this place.

Just because info is available to you, doesn't mean you can share it with whomever you please. Good thing for you that you aren't in the Mafia.

Coaster Campout 2015
Call me silly but that makes sense to me. Why go if you don't want to/aren't able to...... CAMP OUT? For us it was mainly because I wanted to take my three year old daughter who would not have done well with the camping (especially in hindsight after the whole monsters in the middle of the night wake up) I wanted to go to participate in the ERT and other benefits of the event and really did not mind not getting to camp. Also Cedar Point was kind enough to let me have an extra guest as the original rules said you could only bring one if you were staying at the hotel. I also got the promo rate at Hotel Breakers for both nights. It was a great deal and we had an awesome time. There was plenty more to the event other than just camping... Then they should not have called it a Camp out. Maybe I'm just too old and jaded but a Camp Out is just that.
