Banshee Construction Progress
I'm sure it's frequently been used for track inspections in the mornings.

What could KI do to each ride to improve it?
Millennium Force and Magnum.

Kings Dominion Tips
Your act is getting stale. You've said it more than enough. I won't listen to you anymore about Intamin superiority, nor will you listen to any kind of reasoning I try to give you. Stop. Please.

Intaminitis
It's bad to play it safe by over-engineering restraints? Friction brakes are a bad thing? A bad control panel means it's an awful ride?I've learned a lot today.

Kings Dominion Tips
Ride Volcano and I305--providing they're open--as early as possible. Lines build up for those extremely quick.

What's Up With Snoopy's Starlight Spectacular?
And more importantly, what may be a big issue to you may not be as big an issue for the park. They have to worry about keeping their star attractions operating at tip top shape for the entire operating season. They have payroll to worry about. I'm pretty sure a clock and some Christmas lights are the least of management's concerns.

Be careful with this. Apocalypse and Goliath are also B&M coasters.

Smurfy Goes to Busch Gardens Williamsburg - PTR (9/15/13)
Great report. BGW is one of my favorite parks of all time and I need to get back there soon.

Haunt commercial was right.
Wasn't the invert an slc though?

Halloween Haunt at Kings Island Opening Night 2013
Thanks for the report! Sounds like you had a good time. I can't wait to get up to Haunt this year.

TIME Magazine attempts to rate Top 10 Roller Coasters in USA...
*Insert the inevitable YoungStud post about all the Intamins* There. I saved you a post.

First Trip To Haunt
I remember I rode Scrambler and Viking Fury during Haunt last year. Scrambler's line doesn't interfere with the queue for DDD, as that is located in the small pavilion behind the carousel. Viking Fury's line was rerouted so its exit wouldn't have to be used for Cut Throat Cove. CTC is no longer here anymore, so that shouldn't be an issue. Have fun, rcs!

What theming would you like to see at Kings island?
Intimidator at Carowinds has a racing theme...
- Intanim dying a slow death?

Haunt Thoughts 2013
Wow. Haunt is going to be great this year! Board to Death looks awesome. I can't wait to see what they do with the chess set and Mouse Trap.

Halloween Haunt 2013
This looks like it will be a great year for Haunt!

If Six Flags owned all Cedar Fair Parks?
Please list every park with a Texas Giant that isn't Six Flags Over Texas. Drop Tower, Fight Deck, WindSeeker, Vortex, Eiffel Tower, The Crypt... Your turn... Besides WindSeeker, not any of those other rides were built during Cedar Fair ownership.Cedar Fair did have a say in what they could call their rides. They, of course, chose to use bland chain-wide names.
-
Intanim dying a slow death?
Just stop. Shoot the Rapids will reopen if Matt Ouimet, Intamin, the State of Ohio, Cedar Fair, and others can make it happen.

What would you think if kings island was not owned by Cedar Fair.
If Paramount still owned the park I'm not sure we would have a Kings Island to go to. Also, hasn't this been done before?

Best Ride Crews 2013
^I agree with your point about WindSeeker. Literally every time without fail that crew since its inception has been very sluggish. It's no doubt a hard ride to operate, but you'd think with that many associates on the floor you'd be able to get good dispatch intervals.

Halloween Haunt 2013
^^Ugh. Are they ever going to retire that front gate prop?

Intimidator 305 Closed: Cable Lift Problems
Then what was Son of Beast's second drop for (after the chain lift but before the big drop)? Or Camden Park's Big Dipper's pre-drop? Terp, who likes to ask questions. I was under the impression those were anti-rollbacks put in place to prevent a valley in between the lift and large drop should a train not have enough momentum or weight to make it through.

This post made me even more confused than your first.
