What does it look like today? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I don't think there's an average span. Vortex's chain needed replaced in the middle of the 2011 season, during its 25th season. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Bought one, immediately got an email saying there was a glitch and if I wanted my money back as they would be charging me $18. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I want a signed hardcopy! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I did Blackout yesterday and it was...well Blackout without Scareactors. A warning/spoiler to anyone who does NOT like being scared at all: there is a moment where an animatronic "snake", for lack of a better word, will jump out at your feet. It actually kind of hurt[emoji23]. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Looks like the catwalk is up for what they have done for the lift hill. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I wonder if there will be any references to Vortex's demise in the theming of Orion? That would let us know that the closing of Vortex was likely in the plans all along. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Absolutely shocked to hear this. I second that this feels like a joke. We all talked about it for years, but seemed so sure it would be around longer. This will always, always, always hold a special place in my heart as the coaster that got me into inversions. Rest in piece, Vortex. You will be missed. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe what is now the exit for The Bat was previous split into 3 paths: The Bat exit, and the SOB entrance/exit. That would serve as to why there are now concrete fillings where path railings used to exit. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Can confirm that Racer 75 (RY) does have a syncing lift hill. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Speaking of Heart Attack, not the best name for a ride located where a man unfortunately had one on Firehawk... Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

It's funny someone mentioned the spears working this year. Growing up, AE was my go to ride. While I don't ride it every visit nowadays, this year was the first time I EVER noticed the spears before the first lift hill. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

If I go to Kings Island later on today and scan my pass for parking, then completely leave and come back later on, can I reuse my pass for parking? I have a platinum pass. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I personally don't have a problem with sitting next to people I don't know. Did it lead me to sit next to a little girl who never rode FoF? Yes. Did it lead me to sitting next to a really interesting guy on Diamondback who vaped in line and every other word out of his mouth was an obscenity? Sure. But it didn't ruin my day.

Diamondback and maybe Backlot (correct me if I'm wrong) had single rider lanes until July 2011, when FastLane was introduced. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

If you fit on everything at Cedar Point, you will generally be able to fit on everything at Kings Island no problem. Your husband, on the other hand, may have trouble on Diamondback, Banshee, and Flight of Fear. Everyone is different though. Good luck! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

1. Ride Invertigo (Completed 4/20) 2. Ride Banshee outside of rows 4 & 5 for the first time in a couple years (Completed 4/20) 3. Check out the Antique Cars (Completed 4/20) 4. Eat at the "new" restaurant by MT (Completed 4/20) 5. Make at least 20 visits this year (5 at Soak City) Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

As I recall, CoasterDynamix only has the 4 across B&M trains available, so if you were able to recreate DB's staggered seating that would be cool. Good luck! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Exactly. We're still waiting for "The Big One". It'll be obvious when we're getting the giga. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I saw this too. Probably just teasing at this point. We haven't seen many signs of a new coaster around the park. I asked them when the giga was coming. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Yes you can. Just take the train over or you can walk to and from. Just remember that proper attire needs to be worn on the dry side (shirt, shorts, shoes, etc.). Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I know GCI has done some retracking in the past, but what about a complete overhaul from GCI? Doesn't lose anything from what it was, just a smoother, more enjoyable experience. I wouldn't go as far as putting Millennium Flyers on it, but maybe the new articulating PTC trains. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Great Pumpkin Coaster has also had 4 different names through its 25 years. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

^Agreed. The Beast is smoother now than ever (14 years experience of riding). Yes, there are rough spots and seats, but nothing like SOB (Note: I was 8 when I last rode SOB). Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I have ended my year with a lights-on final train run on FoF but I didn't make it back there in time. I was sitting on DB's brake run for what seemed like hours as I watched 6:53 turn into 6:59, thus crushing my chances. I do believe I was on the last non-ERT train on Diamondback.
