Current wait times
It never did storm even though a few times it looked like it. They did close rides down on two occasions but the storms never hit the park.

Surf Dog (Pleasantly Surprised)
It used to be apart of Rivertown and was Kings Mills Log Flume. This Flume came from Coney Island and was built by Arrow. The majority of the Flume was replaced in 2000 and reopened in 2001 as The Wildtornberry's River Adventure, then Cedar Fair renamed it Race For Your Life Charlie Brown in 2010.

2015 talk
Yes those Action Theater films only showed at the Paramount Parks.

Carowinds' Thunder Road to race no more
I'll also be sad the day Vortex is retired but hopefully that's a long time down the road yet.

Kings Island 2015 Discussion Thread
The only part of Vortex painted recently was the running rails. That was in 2009. Last major repaint was in 2001 the year I was on the crew.

Coasterstock at Kings Island
That car was a prop used in the Paramount Story, From the Untouchables. I also seen someone take a picture of the jeep that used to be a prop out by Tomb Raider.

Coasterstock at Kings Island
You may be right.

Coasterstock at Kings Island
I'd say sounds like someone didn't know what they were talking about. 3 clicks is alot considering I believe 5 is the max.

Kentucky Kingdom
Why would a park be closed to the public on a holiday weekend?

Changes to 2015 dining plans (Update: not happening)
I could see it for Midway Market as its not even listed in the park map for the dining plans. However Subway is. So that $2 dollar surcharge is BS. And how r u suppose to know this as they are no signs posted.

Guests Say The Darnest Things
Lol I hear that mistake many times each year. Or even till this day in line for Racer I hear people saying they want to ride the backwards side.

Bring a Friend for $14.99 (Gold and Platinum Pass Holders) Father's Day, June 21st
Oh please I've been there the last two Sundays and while the park was busy I wouldn't call it crazy busy. Crazy busy for me would be every ride line completely over filling its ques no parking spaces left and your running into people just walking on the midways. We got 25 rides in this past Sunday with 4 of those being on Banshee. The Sunday before we got 20 rides in. This is just my opinion. And also to add to the fire Mothers Day and Father's Day have always been a low crowd day one of the reason the have these bring a friend day on those days.

Gold and Platinum Pass Ride Night, May 15th
I'd say no!

Mason Hotels
I agree on the Microtel comments I've stated here 3 times in the past with no problems and its within minutes from the park.

Current wait times
They always add a few extra minutes to those waits. We waited an hour for Invertigo when FunTV said 40 min wait. But of course the Fast Lane Que was always to the entrance and I think they were doing at least half Fast Lane and half from the normal line.

Invertigo
We waited about an hour for it as well yesterday but by that point we rode everything else we wanted to ride.
-
Flight of Fear
Glad to hear FoF is loading all 5 cars again.
-
Current wait times
But me and my party still managed 22 rides today.

Souvenir cup questions
Like I said a friend of mine had one opening day. It was purchased at one of the food stands. So who knows.

New Cedar Fair Corporate Logo
No I don't see that happening.
-
Invertigo
Crew training maybe? Or perhaps its still preseason testing still as I have no idea if it had the number of cycles required to be certified before the part had to be replaced. If it doesn't open this weekend I say they are trying to get it ready for May 8th when Daily Operations start.

Souvenir cup questions
One of my friends had one on opening day.
