Rumors about Coney
A coaster, but not necessarily a new one? Hmm... the Geauga Lake Raging Wolf Bobs coaster is finally being removed. Just sayin'.

Flight of Fear
It was Kinzel as of today.

Beast & Kings Island featured tonight on Travel Channel
They sure made it sound like the "must miss" of the list. Thunderhead is one of the smoothest wooden coasters I've ridden and has some incredible air time.

Announcement date?!
Hey everyone, my father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate just told me a guy with green hair said SoB is back next year!!!

Blue Racer stalled yesterday
While we're talking about the Blue Racer... Why does it almost always come in second place? At the drop, Red Racer flies down the track and Blue Racer usually gets too far behind to ever catch up.

Rumors about Coney
Agreed on the Sparkler. Still think a small wooden coaster like Tornado at Stricker's Grove would be a great addition.

Kings Island Top 3 Parks in US
Also, does Texas have cities? Hmm, looking at that chart suggests not.

Bad Time To Ride Vortex
I thought Vortex was a robot. That's what it looks like in the old logos.

Cedar Point hotel recommendations
What are some of the best hotel deals near Cedar Point? Might make a trip up there this summer. I generally prefer hotels with a hallway (not direct entry rooms) and under $100/night. It's just a place for me to sleep safely, not a luxury party room. Any recommendations?

Rumors about Coney
Any update on an announcement?

What Kind of Merchandise Would You Like to see at Kings Island?
Technically, the park is currently selling defunct ride apparel. You just have to keep an eye out for it. I want an Adventure Express shirt.
-
What do you want at Kings Island in 2013?
Wouldn't mind seeing a good dark ride. Emphasis on good.

Kings Island Top 3 Parks in US
Wow, really? Cedar Point has the "most on any earth"? How is this news team not winning awards for such mind blowing journalism? Also, didn't Cedar Point recently drop to 16?

You're Much Safer Now
Forty people per car? Impressive!

Son of Beast station?
I heard it's haunted by werewolves. In fact, I think one of them is standing guard outside the station these days.

You're Much Safer Now
This got me curious enough to look up more on the Louisville park. Found a few more pictures here: http://digital.library.louisville.edu/cdm/search/searchterm/%20White%20City%20%28Louisville,%20Ky.%29/mode/exact

Best wooden roller coaster?
Tornado is my favorite wooden coaster. There's some vibe of "old fashioned entertainment" on that ride that goes a long way. Does the new Texas Giant count? Racer is always on my "must ride" list at Kings Island. Thunderhead is also a good time, especially at night. Also, Gwazi? No. Not at all.

Bank Billboard - Name that coaster
There's one on I-471S between exit 5 and 4. One of the electronic billboards. It always changes before I get close enough for a decent picture!

If You Could Change Any Ride...
Somehow make Vortex a less rough ride. Doesn't matter where I sit, I smack my jaw into the restraint every time. Love the ride itself, but the roughness factor keeps it low on my "must ride" list. Return Adventure Express to its former effects glory. Also, does any one else secretly wish the Nickelodeon deal had timed out right so the ride was Legends of the Hidden Temple theme? No? Okay, I figured it was just me. Agree that blue Racer should go backward again. Also, it would be nice to see a B&M inverted coaster like Montu (Busch Gardens) happen.

Six Flags Rattler to get Texas Giant Treatment
Having been on the new Texas Giant, I would love to see a similar ride at Kings Island. Very unique, especially the cars!
-
Bank Billboard - Name that coaster
Still haven't gotten a good shot of the sign, yet. On closer inspection, it looks like it's actually a Kings Island advertisement, not 5/3. It just happens to look very similar to the 5/3 designs.
-
Adventure Express' Logo
Is there much merchandise at the park that features Adventure Express? I think I saw it on a shirt that listed all the coasters, but I've never found a shirt featuring only Adventure Express.

Ed Alonzo’s Psycho Circus- Magic and Mayhem
Saw the show on Sunday and thought it was a blast. I'm still trying to figure out some of the disappearing acts, so I guess the magic worked on me. I actually came home and watched the King of the Hill where Hank tries to figure out a magic show trick. If you've seen the episode, that's about how I'm feeling right now.

Bank Billboard - Name that coaster
Fair enough. I'll try to get one this weekend.
