The Phantom Theater
I myself never got to go on Phantom Theater but I really wish I could have ridden it, I think that it would be really cool if a similar ride were to open.

What's your favorite amusement and water park?
My favorite amusement park is definitely Cedar Point because of all of the rides and I really don't like water parks but if I had to choose it would have to be Splashin' Safari.

Coasters Getting Stuck
Depending on where the train gets stuck the park uses different tools ranging from cherry pickers to cranes to people, to get the train up and running as soon as possible.

Riders stuck on Dorney Park roller coaster for 90 minutes
^ The ride's lifts are at an angle, it is the exact same ride as Invertigo at KI. You are thinking of a Vekoma giant inverted boomerang like Goliath at SFNE, Stinger and Invertigo are regular Vekoma inverted boomerangs.

Kings Island-5/30/12 and Cedar Point-6/2/12
Kings Island My mom and I drove down to Kings Island on Wednesday to upgrade our gold passes to platinum passes. We got into the park and started with Flight deck. The lines for it were, as usual, very short. After Flight Deck, we rode Invertigo and the lines were very short; the blue paint job is beautiful.When we were done in Action Zone we went to back to Rivertown and rode The Beast twice, the re-tracking was amazing, the ride felt like it was just built. Diamondback was the next ride we stopped at and we rode in the very back seat, we got so much airtime compared to other seats. It was about 2 after that so we decided to eat lunch, we split a burger and Sprite. Next, we headed to Firehawk and Flight of Fear but we didn't ride due to the fact that both of the lines filled the queues and came out of the gates. Since we were over on that side of the park we proceeded to ride Adventure Express and Delirium. After Delirium my mom started feeling a little sick so we did a quick ride on Flight Deck and then we went home. Cedar Point Saturday morning my mom and I took the 5 hour trip from Indy to CP. We got to the park around 4 and the park was almost desolate. We waited about 10 minutes to get on Raptor(my first full circuit invert) and the same for Wicked Twister, which we rode after Raptor.Next, we made our way to the back of the park and waited about 5 minutes to get on Magnum. After that we walked to Gemini and walked on, I rode on blue then red and i think red is more fun but blue is smoother.Mean Streak was next and I loved it,it's my new favorite woodie after The Beast. We would have ridden Maverick yesterday but it was down for the evening so we made our way to Mantis, my new favorite stand-up B&M, which I power rode 6 times in the front and second seats.I also made the mistake of riding in the back seat. We then headed to the front of the park and enjoyed a short ride on the soon to be deceased Disaster Transport and the Delirium-like Maxair. After that we rode Blue Streak a few times and had one final ride on Raptor before calling it a night. I will be posting a trip report of our second day at CP but will be too long to be in this one.

"America's Top 5 Roller Coasters"
My only complaints are that X-Scream is not at all a roller coaster and that many coasters are far superior to Intimidator.

The Beast books by R.L. Stine
I read the 2nd one in 3rd grade and have been looking for the first one for a while but can't find it anywhere.

Kings Island traditions
I always ride Invertigo first, then FoF, then marathon on The Beast. Its always in that order.

What type of coaster does KI need next?
I personally have always liked B&M stand ups and B&M inverts and have hoped to get one of the two at Kings Island.

School project on "coasters of the 90s"
First of all, cool project. Next, one record breaker in the 90s was Steel Phantom, it had one of the largest drops at the time.

The Crypt: Gone for 2012!
I think they should trade Crypt for Firefall at CGA, but thats just me.
-
Nashville: a Music/NASCAR Theme Park?
Actually, yes, just look at Indiana Beach and Holliday World. Indiana Beach is in fact actually smaller than KI in 1972.

Favorite Night Ride
I really like Flight Deck night rides, especially in the front seat.

Halloween Haunt wait times
I went on Saturday and it was insane, I waited an hour and a half for Diamondback, two hours for a night ride on The Beast, and a whopping forty-five minutes for Flight Deck.

Kings Island fibbing know-it-alls
Didn't you love how many people answered The Eifel Tower? I was surprised how many people said The Beast or Vortex.
