I would really like to see a glow in the dark paint used on the roller coaster. supports and track look white during day and at night a bright sky blue track with bright yellow supports.

It is?!?!?! I love their pretzels!!!! Okay now that's out of the way, no, it has been a KI homemade pretzels place. It was last year that I had the funky pretzel.

The one thing I don't like about any theme/amusement park is that the food smells so good! I usually get a fresh hot pretzel from the "shop" that is close to the fountain. I got one from their before where it was hard as a rock but in the middle a dough ball...

Fixed, thanks! I feel like im doing computer updates

I fixed that, Thanks!

Today was the day Son of Beast opened, 13 years ago. It gave a whole new meaning to wooden roller coasters. it was the world's tallest, fastest, only looping wooden roller coaster. here is some 1999 construction: This coaster was opened later than it was supposed to due to problems while building it. One of the problems was the main hill (I think?) got half way knocked down because of strong winds and snow. Many people were hoping to ride it opening day but all they got was this: The ride then opened today May 26 2000. Many people liked it, many people were scared of it and many people thought the ride was way to rough. later in 2006, the ride hit a new low. The ride was taking passengers up the main lift hill and 27 people were injured at the rosebowl.The train in the rosebowl continued along the track because no sensors showed a structural fault has occurred. When the train returned to the station they made a e-stop so the train going up the hill was stopped and the passengers were gotten off. . The park was owned by CF at the time of the incident and then after they shut it down for the rest of the season, they added new trains that were lighter. The loop was also removed. After that things went a little better for Son of Beast, until 2009... Little did we know that 2009 would be the last operating season for Son of Beast, an indecent with a woman happened were she had a aneurysm while riding the ride. The ride was then shut down a few weeks later and was being investigated for it's safety. From 2010-2012 the roller coaster was removed from the park map as the plans of waht was gonna happen where unclear. In 2011 the station was transformed into a Halloween Haunt attraction called Wolf Pack, the station is still used for that to this day. People were in a frenzy of back and forth battles of will the ride reopen or not and for the 2010-mid 2012 the park remained mute on the subject. July 2012 the park announced its plans for Son of Beast, the ride will be taken apart piece by piece starting later the 2012 season. In early 2013 the ride was completely removed and construction was started for a new attraction. Not many people know what they are building for the future but those who know won't be talking until the park decides to make a public announcement. R.I.P. Son of Beast 2000-2012 (or 2000-mid 2009) Happy 13th birthday.

A park closing, closes rides. If the ride is lucky it will get moved and used at a new park ex. Firehawk.

Darn I was really hoping for world's first floating coaster... guess technology hasn't gotten their yet. Or the money?

I was at the park yesterday and when you see the construction in person it looks a lot bigger! I also almost made myself throw up because I was trying to hard to see construction from Delirium and FD and Drop Tower. I didn't take any pics, sorry.

WS at CP suffered some issues from high wind last year...

Thats a pretty good long wait it sounds like! Now what if they got Ellen DeGeneres...

At Universal Orlando you can walk though the water.

My guess is 320ft‚ 95mph‚ break some sort of record and be 1 mile+.

I'm guessing the tree right in the middle will probably have a rosebowl/helix running around it. Sorry I can't highlight it.

I hope/guessing this coaster is over a mile long!

We had an off day today for some reason. It was a perfect day to go though. I get out the 23rd I got out the 23rd too, and I have an off day Friday...for some reason. lol. Wow! I want to go to your schools! Mine doesn't get out until the 29th. You should feel lucky. Xenia schools don't get out until June 4. Thankfully, it's been eight years since I've had to deal with that (actually nine since the seniors get out about two weeks earlier than the rest of the students). my school is worse! June 7th. But since my school is online I can go to KI on a week day. School is K12 (OHVA) and can do my work when ever as long as its done before midnight each day.

I would like a coaster that breaks 100mph for KI's next coaster. I'm not wanting a worlds fastest coaster or tallest, just something 100mph+ and have at least double the length of TTD. Maybe a 300ft tall hill? Is their any B&M coasters that go over 100mph?

Really haven't had a bad moment at ki... But i about pucked in FestHaus.

One thing i found interesting is he said 2 years of planning and that's it! They have a close partnership with B&M... So could the idea of SOB and Thunder Alley teardown and building of a new attraction (not saying its a B&M coaster) been tossed together last year or sometime in 2011? So Gatekeeper was a Ouiment idea and part Kinzel it sounds like. So i'm guessing that this ride(s) will be 100% Ouiment's idea... (Well under his management).

A nice little interview done with Mr. Ouiment.

I was following the deconstruction of the old building to this and they pretty much threw this puppy up as quick as they did it! Been looking at lots of pics of Universal in general and their is construction going on EVERYWHERE on the Universal side of the park! side note: Just hope their Halloween event is better this year... Lets just say it was at pars with KI's Halloween Haunt (not that KI's is bad but usually Universal's blows everything else out of the water).

I think if the next ride is a roller coaster and is the fastest in the park (possibly longest?) I would call it something like The King's Throne. I would change The DA! to the King's Lost Island. I would like to see some rides take use of the parks name.

As of 2012 I have seen WS open for fireworks. Side tracking but anyone ever see WS running opening day? I was their never saw it running and also never even made it back by it, so if it's in a million pieces, I didn't know that lol.

I would love to see a backwards racer again! In other news I've seen swarms of bees today! It was pretty much every 10 feet I walk their was another 2 bees. Seen a few packs of 5-10 bees.

I came to KI at 4pm and FL was empty, their was a 5 min wait at most I seen for FL for both DB and FoF. they were getting run though the line constantly.
