Closed rides
It would give us more challenges in the Photo Chain Game. Other than that, I don't really care if they change to signs.

Yeah, I don't think Carowinds ever switches to no-single-rider mode.

I think H2O Dragster would be better than Dragster H2O.

Part of RWB was still up in July. I haven't looked since then to see if it is still up:

Big Dipper gets the Zippin Pippin treatment as opposed to reusing the old materials.... But I just can't think of a Cedar Fair park it would make sense to put the Big Dipper right now. Edit to add: Also, evidently I am confusing myself now too. I don't think I noticed We were talking about reviving Geauga Lake as opposed to moving Big Dipper.

At this point, the only likely way is by just using the blueprints and starting over with new wood, if they could find a park it would make sense to put it. (Edit spelling fix)

Yeah, almost as good as Legend at Holiday World.

El Toro, with another (good) addition would be enough for me, even if Rolling Thunder brings down other two. Have you been on El Toro?

Photo Posting
It works on my Iphone when I type the: img`] with the image file location between the brackets. Ipads work the same way I believe.

If Knoebels knocks on their neighbors door and asks for their best, I feel the Phoenix/Twister/GCII would beat Voyage/Legend/Raven. If 6FGAd added I feel they would beat HW.

From my raw image, I adjusted the white balance from 5200k to 5850k and adjusted the tint from -14 to 21.

Don relates to the public what Cedar Fair decides to do.

Don doesn't buy the coasters for Kings Island. rcdb.com says Maverick was 21 million to build, Voyage was eight and half million to build.

Coaster Speed Checks
Flight of Fear is listed at 2,705 feet. If that number is for a complete track circuit, then it considers part of the ride where nobody is riding. If we don't include that non-ridden track, that number would be slightly higher. Should the duration while sitting on the brake run on other coasters be considered? Edit to add: rcdb.com shows the other clones with a duration of 0:56 (Joker's Jinx), 1:15(Poltergeist and Crazy Cobra/Mad Cobra), and 2:24(FoF KD)...fascinating.

Gold pass 2013 renewal question...
I have found that the $5 online processing to be quite annoying, to the point where I will probably wait until I am at a park to get a new/renew 2013 pass. It isn't even really about paying more money that seems off, as I would probably have no issue with paying double the current price for my pass.

2013: Michigan's Adventure to receive flying scooters
The painted concrete around the water tower looks like it might be the right dimensions. They could build the structure around the water tower, and make it part of a theme. Did Snoopy ever pretend to put out fires while flying his house?

2013: Michigan's Adventure to receive flying scooters
Next time we hear that Mr. Ouimet will visit Kings Island, we should get a group to gather between Jukebox Diner + the ball toss and start shouting out things like 'Great flying number 3!' and 'yeah number 7!', while a few of us run in circles periodically jumping.

Arrrrrr. I must have caught Wolverine Wildcat at a non-properly maintained time.
