Starting to Decode 2014
It's ok to not like a ride, just don't shove it down our throats making blanket statements about a manufacturer.

They made it a point to show a POV at night, but I couldn't discern a difference. Could someone please explain?

Is anyone else excited for the interlocking loop and lift hill or am I the only one?

Asdfghjklsjsksbwrocm. Sorry, guys. I'm fangirling over the amazing layout, colors, station, entry plaza, and stats.

Favorite Kings Island Ride Logo
Sorry Adventure Express, Banshee just won me over. Seriously, that logo is amazing.

They really know how to put on a show. I really wish I could be there right now.

Nothing to worry about. They're just getting a head start on Haunt.

13 acres out of 364...Beast takes up 35 acres...so, about 1/3 the space of The Beast.Not all that big, in comparison to a record breaking woodie, but big. Would stay in line with the current thinking, 4,000-5,000 feet in length. Diamondback is a little over a mile long and fits in a 10 acre plot of land. I think it's perfectly reasonable to speculate a coaster well over 5,000 feet.

Flight Deck to become the Bat?
...which was not a Cedar Fair installation.

9 Rides You Hated to See Leave Kings Island
The news can never get KCKC's name right.

May I direct your attention to Knott's Berry Farm's log flume?

Have you been here? It will break the record for longest, and not for height. Have you seen the announcement?Neither have I. There could be more than one record being broken.

I'm pretty sure I saw them earlier this year.

It keeps the guests in the park longer.

Flight Deck to become the Bat?
The floorless trains, from what I can gather, do not swing nearly as much as the Arrow trains.

Flight Deck to become the Bat?
The logos end up being removed around this point every season. Nothing to be worried about.

Least Thrilling Coaster at KI
Have you taken the time to measure the g's on each ride at Kings Island?
-
Next to go?
A: Arrow Dynamics was bought out from bankruptcy by S&S Power, and the new company kept producing a replacement line for all Arrow models (likely for the revenue it brings them.)B: That Vekoma talk is nonsense. They're an active company in the market and have manufactured many coasters for parks within the last two years. My main point is this: Vekoma nor Arrow have disappeared by any means.

REPOST: 2013 Trip Report, Part II (Busch Gardens, Holiday World)
Just as good the second time around. Thanks...again!

What did you think about GateKeeper?
Just because it's a crowd favorite doesn't mean it's economical, efficient, and a good overall investment.

Flat rides
My favorite Haunt that's open for a month is better than one flat ride open throughout the whole season.

Flat rides
How dare you say that. Madame Fatale's is the best thing Haunt has (as of last season.)

Move One Ride from Anywhere in the Country to KI
Coney Island, Cincinnati?

Looks like a line to show topographic features of the land.

What did you think about GateKeeper?
Its placement on the peninsula doesn't change the way people think about the park. It's going to stick out wherever it may have been placed. Gatekeeper is right on top of the front gate, and that's what people will remember because it's unique. There's nothing unique about where Dragster sits.
