TheCrypt

Uhh... Why did that go into my dead TR instead of your own (which you don't need to create if THAT'S what we have to look forward to)? Heads up: If you don't capitalize, say "to" instead of "2", etc, you won't get far on these forums (yes, that's right, not a chat room).

Leave my Oktoberfest alone! I do agree, however, with your Action Zone point. It's outdated. What's worse, is that it's only 13 years old.

You see, I consider Flight of Fear a near-Disney quality experience. With just a few updates (like on-board audio and such), it'd be on par with Rock 'n Rollercoaster. Good theming doesn't always entail massive amounts of detail. It really depends on the theme. My main beef with it is that it doesn't fit in with the surrounding area but regardless, it's still a well done attraction with a clear story from the moment you enter (well, unless they've changed it since I was last there in 2004). Technically, we do have on-board audio (the Outer Limits score--something I hold near and dear to my heart). I wouldn't necessarily call Flight of Fear a "near Disney experience". Well, at least not the 2012 form. In my most humble opinion, I think that the 2011 color pallete was wonderful (dark blues, greens, reds) as opposed to 2012 (kind of red, yellowish, blue?). It seems like 2012 was a sad attempt at getting the queue to look a bit different. But on a side note, I'm glad that they play the score from the ride while you're exiting! (have I mentioned I love that score?)

So there's no source? Folks, he's admitted that he hasn't talked to suits, and suits haven't talked to him!

I agree, that Kings Island has let some rides go. Few notes about what I observed at the park today: Flight Deck- The ride had a wait extending to the bottom of the station stairs today when I was there. Unpopular? Kinda. It doesn't draw the Top Gun crowds, but it still does draw people in. Also, the ride looks good as far as aesthetics go. The Racer- My God does this ride need some good powerwashing and painting. The tunnels look revolting, what with the gum, dirt, finger marks, etc. The trains are fine. The Blue side is in need of desperate tracking done over the offseason, it's just unbearably rough. Red side is incredibly smooth. Adventure Express- I think Kings Island is in the right direction with this ride. Last year, the creaking on the first lift was gone, but hath returned this season! Red lights in the third tunnel, Bubba's mouth is moving. However, there are still cons to the experience. The red lights in the third tunnel are minimal, the door is often left wide open in the last tunnel, "tiki men" are left unlit, the first tunnel is completely dark, and there is just plain 'ol lights in the second tunnel. Now, I hope for the best, but the cons outweigh the pros by far.

Action Zone's color scheme is red, yellow, blue, white, green. Isn't blue in that scheme? So how does Invertigo not fit? I think it looks spectacular. If anything, Congo Falls doesn't fit.

^And the suits don't talk to anyone else here, either.

"Friends who are higher ups" won't disclose information to you without the public knowing as well. I doubt Congo Falls will be removed soon, as parts are easy to come by, ridership is moving along, and it offers great relief on a hot day. Also, even though you claim no source (*cough* Brian5457E *cough*), it is possible that your "friends" gave you misinformation to sound like a troll on a forum.

Honestly, Montu didn't do much for me. I liked how it interacted with the walkways and the terrain, but there weren't any forces that stood out to me.

Do not generalize... Don't you think that if Cedar Fair could make it much more thrilling, they would have? The ride, sad to say, was on life support in it's last years, and the 9-flip cycle did a couple numbers on the machinery as well. When the ride was Tomb Raider: The Ride, it suffered moisture exposure (something the ride was never meant to be exposed to), causing problems with the machinery. I loved The Crypt for what it offered, and I didn't expect anything more. The pleasant surprises I found were what made the ride wonderful. Also, The Crypt would be seen in the public's eyes as a ride that wasted their time, so why would they ride something that wasted their time, even though marketing says otherwise.

I distinctly recall Brian5475E telling us the announcement will be made sooner than that, as well as what the announcement is.

I shouldn't really say at their discretion, and I agree with the "No above the law" thing you pointed out. I wouldn't think that what Gordon said was too vulgar. He was proving a point.

This isn't necessarily a family forum, per say, as many of these users are in fact adults who use suggestive language at their discretion. What I don't understand, is why Gordon put BS, then later used the full word... Well, at least this isn't TPR, where everything is a sexual joke!

You could be able to visit the park in June, and it being much cooler. When the Sun gets very hot, it usually means that it is about to cool, making for much cooler temperatures. I would think that our next couple of Summers will be quite pleasant, maybe similar to this past Winter.

For some reason, my baby loves pizza...

I work my way around the park clockwise, starting with Action Zone. Then sometimes in Rivertown, I trek back to Oktoberfest for some Festhaus.

I was just trying to make a point. Some things I say might come off as rude, but 9 times out of 10, they were never meant to be.

1 area that you don't have is the "small" circled area to the left of Diamondback. That is White Water Canyon's resovoir that cannot be taken out (but it can be moved). Also, I would love for it to not disrupt The Beast. I'm a bit saddened every time I see Vortex, Diamondback, etc at the top of The Beast's 2nd lift. I wish those trees would grow faster! What does that make The Racer or Great Pumpkin Coaster? Or even Surf Dog?

This would be my ideal plan. Get to know both parks. Try to find the most efficent route to each ride from another ride. Try to plan each move of your day (that's what my friends and I did for Universal Studios). Do this, and you're likely to make the most of your day. You can never know for sure what crowds will be like. Make sure you check the weather forecasts for your planned days in advance (try checking as close to your dates as much as possible to get an accurate reading). For once, I actually echo railroader19's thoughts to a certain degree. Try to get to the parks at ropedrop, and then hit up the low capacity rides first thing, then wait in line for the higher ones later. Low capacity rides at each park that I highlighted are: Dorney Park: Stinger: This is the exact same ride as our Invertigo. If you haven't ridden ours, then ride. If you have, skip. Voodoo Possessed: This is a very fun style ride, like Wicked Twister. However, instead of a curved spike at the back, it has a straight spike. I would reccommend sitting in the back row for this ride, as it makes for a looong ride down while riding. I'm not sure if the holding brake is operational on this ride, as it is disabled on Six Flags Great America's version (structural fault), but if it is, added bonus. Screamin' Swing: With only 8 passengers total, this line will probably move slow. HOWEVER, this is a pay-per-ride attraction, so lines may be shorter. Demon Drop: I don't know about this ride-- It does seem ot have low capacity, but there are many cars moving at the same time, so lines could be moving swiftly. Wild Mouse: I don't think I have to explain! Hershey Park: Roller Soaker: Not only have I heard about capacity nightmares, but it also is not well received by the public, so I would just skip. Wild Mouse: Again, I don't need to explain. So there ya go. I would also recommend reading MF2000CMH's Excellent PTR that includes Hershey Park.

Oh, so what about Zoom Flume? Or Mondo Monsoon? The moon wouldn't be swooning if Invertigo were were to be moving.

Why couldn't this go into the "Left over Paramount" thread that was started awhile back?

Tips: 1. Don't remove watermarks. 2. Make sure you cite your sources.

Hey, guess what! Those 2 roller coasters are both Flying Dutchmans! Isn't that something? And by the way: *Nighthawk *Firehawk *Batwing In Roller Coaster Tycoon.
