that's called a top hat XD. See full throttle I don't think that's what KI Guy is talking about. Yes, Full Throttle has a top hat, but the ascent of that top hat is not beyond straight up, nor is its descent beyond straight down. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a single coaster that goes beyond straight up, only beyond straight down.

I think they should install overhead signs like on highways to make it clear from both directions how to get in. They should also mark where exits are in this manner so drivers know: a] not to go in them and b] not to think people coming out of them at 11 in the morning are cutting in line.

I would love that as well, but why would clearing have begun in April and extend as far back as it does? They could easily have waited until after the park was closed in November and still put one of those up by Opening Day 2017.

Bigger doesn't mean better.

The OSU event should have ended by 5, with certain lines like Valravn's shutting down even earlier if necessary.

Why not a GCI version of that coaster?

I just bought the tickets and registered my dad and I, creating a packed weekend with graduation rehearsal and Coasterstock Friday, Coasterstock all day Saturday, and then Coasterstock and actual graduation Sunday. Can't wait! I was going to skip Coasterstock another year due to graduation, but the Rivertown/train happenings had me too perplexed.

Indeed. When my scout troop went to a summer camp in Indiana, we stopped for lunch at a couple of neighboring fast food restaurants. One was handing out KI coupons, the other was handing out HW coupons.

Souvenir cups are good at all Cedar Fair parks for the season. Knott's Berry Farm is open year round and California's Great America will have a Winterfest this year. Hence, you presumably can use the cups then.

I've seen rumors somewhere (can't find it anymore) suggesting the Muppets will actually have an increased presence in the new park.

Awesome shot, Shaggy! Did you send it to UPS? I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

Oh, I definitely agree on the park's overuse of emoticons. And their Snapchat has yet to post a single normal picture. Everyone has been covered with a caption and emoticon blocking half the picture. Also, thanks for the Instagram link. I wasn't aware you ran an account there. Will you start a KIC Snapchat?

My mom has, and uses, Snapchat. She'll turn 50 this year.

Ha! I just lost it! Best post I've seen in a while!

Firefox. Adblock Plus. What ads? Why Firefox? I use Adblock on Chrome just fine. And there's no loading issues, either.

Phew, the title of this thread had me thinking Disney had made an extremely questionable decision to build a park in the UK.

Back on subject? I think that song was very on subject with the previous post.

I wonder if GWL has any thoughts about how this new sign overshadows their building.

And a double post from mobile. Move on.

I was in row 10 on the first train after the restart. I actually recognized you, but kept quiet as I was with my dad.

Update: Train returned after 25 minutes to much applause from those of us still in line. There are approximately 20 Kings Island employees in the station.

Was waiting in line for DB just now with the fireworks going off during a technical difficulty. One train was in the station, one on the brake run, and the third no where to be seen. So some lucky folks must have got to view the fireworks from the MCBR. I am so incredibly jealous.

Screamscape has posted a new Kings Island construction report, and with it, a classic Screamscape crazy rumor. Apparently, "a few people have sent in word that this may be the log ride's last season." Yes, the log ride as in RCFYLCB. Sure, it'd open up a large space for 2017, but really? Come on Lance, who even are these people? I feel like if it was the Rivertown LaRosa's that was rebuilt, he'd say the same thing about Vortex/SR&R. http://www.screamscape.com/html/kings_island.htm

Could someone make this link mobile-friendly please? Or, even better, tell me how that's done?

I may be wrong, but didn't Carowinds spend multiple seasons refurbing Thunder Road shortly before tearing it down? I'm not saying I think HW is doing anything with The Raven, but stranger things have happened. Edit: Beaten.
