Oh my god not EVERYTHING has to be in one topic. There is already enough chaos in the SOB Demolition thread.

It was like a last minute thing. I was in fact talking about wait times. thats the really only thing to talk about.

Yep. 4th visit to August so far. This is just a small trip report. Nothing special really happened this visit. Other then the fact that I only rode One flat ride. I rode Diamondback X2 (I'm on a role with the X2 on Diamondback) The Beast, WindSeeker, Flight of Fear, and Adventure Express. What would be the shortest ride time in order? Adventure Express WindSeeker The Beast Diamondback (First time) Flight of Fear Diamondback (second time) I mean really. My shortest ride time was 1 minute witch was Adventur express. WindSeeker was a 2 minute wait for the ride to come down. The Beast took a good 5 minutes. Diamondback the first time was only a 10 minute wait. Flight of Fear was surprislingly 10 minutes as well, and the second Diamondback took me 15 minutes (How do I know about the second Diamondback. Well when I got there the park was open for only 15 more minutes. got in when the park closed) So yea. Nothing too special just a little bit of information about the rides this day. Also We got lucky. It started to rain when the park CLOSED. Ha ha I just skipped all the rain out exept on Diamondback (It started as I was on it) -CoasterOhio (We may not go Sunday)

Yea don't I like the train they change anything they'll end up salvaging it for a new ride or something like that.

Well it was a monday. Everyone wants a good monday so they take the trip to a amusement park. Glad you had a good day (Other then the protein spill on Vortex)

Wooden Giga or Mega coasters are like impossible without leaving with a headache (Most of the time)

Actually I wouldn't be so sure. Theme Parks think years in advance I bet. I know they do just like with diamond back. They started working on it in 2007

Thats 2 years from Now KI is probably more inluclant about working on whats going on now and probably not even thinking about '14 yet.

Thats an animated POV you can't impliment much of realistic sounds now can you.

We're going to Cedar Point most likely June of next year I bet anything we are riding this Bird.

anyone think that It might be cool just to resubmit your card to your accoutn and get more of the same rewards for that season? Or maybe add a few more levels?

I would SEVEARLY want to join it. but Don may make it exclusive to donators.

Ohh yes We did on Saturday and I also noticed that it didn't do the stop mid way I believe it happens due to the fact that there is probably only 2 trains running at the time being. I do believe that FOF has 3 trains.one running. One in the station one letting off.

I for one would LOVE to take video of them taking the lift and such down. but it would take forever to take it down one support at a time.

Remember, Those speakers are exposed to the elements and they basically wear them selves out staying out in the open day and night, in the rain or sun. I wasn't susprised how bad they where.

I did see some few removed trees still layed on the ground around Flight Deck on saturday though.

Someone leaked pictures on their Facebook. (Coasterforce did)

I have now uploaded all the pictures. Only two didn't make it into this post as they where Sideways created. They where mainly SOB pictures with a few pictures of WindSeeker and Flight Deck

I really don't think It actually was the block system though I don't see I think the breaks auto locked everything for some reason. But dang it.. We just need the Handle for it though.

Thanks, I did have a lot of fun we gave up when we went to Firehawk. OH YEA! I also forgot to mention we watched the Dino 3D at the Theater inbetween The Racers. I'm going to get a picture over there sometime!

Visit to Kings Island August 11th, 2012 We were in a 4 team group to Kings Island this day, waking up early to head out at 8:15AM but we didn’t actually leave until 8:25am Had to get to the store for a few In-line snacks and some Ice for the food for Lunch and we where soon of. It was me, my mom, sister, and our friend going to Kings Island. We got there around 9:15am Fine with us. We headed in, got into Diamondback. We rode the rows 3 & 4, plus 13 & 14. Little bit chilly to ride at some points during the ride but still a lot of fun! After that we headed off just as the park opened to everyone. We walked past a CROWD of people going towards Diamondback, in fact Diamondback filled up COMPLETELY within the first 30 minutes of the park being opened and stayed like that all day long. We went to Flight of Fear; it was awful quiet without the video playing because there was next to no one in there. We most likely went on maybe within the first 10 rides that day. After that, we went to Backlot Stunt Coaster to ride that once. I got the front seat on that ride for the first time. It was fun! Next, we went to WindSeeker after that Vortex I got the front train again I just got LUCKY with the front on rides today. After riding Vortex we went across Coney Mall about to head on racers, we were already an hour into the day We found that The Racers was weaving, AND was outside the line. Nope screw that we went on passing other things we finally got to another ride Viking fury. We had screamers behind us (Was deaf for a good 5 minutes after the ride) Now we moved on, we where 2 hours into the day and starting to get hungry. Okay we’ll just get something to drink, ride Invertigo then to Flight Deck and get on out. Nope we just did Flight Deck the line was halfway through the whole line o I didn’t like waiting that long (Little problem with Flight Deck when we rode it) When we were strapped in we were in the front of course. We headed up the chain. Our Friend was wondering why it was slowing down. We said it always does it because of the Block from the other train. Nope, we ended up in a full STOP the chain for it stopped and stopped working. They got it started up within 10 to 15 seconds of it being down. But during that time our friend was like “Does it do this?” when It stopped and me and my mom at the same time said “NO.” I didn’t like it. I never had a ride just fully stop like that before I’ve seen it a while ago on The Beast when someone wouldn’t put their phone way and they stopped in on the chain while a worker came in and grabbed it before they started again. Anyway, we moved on finishing Flight Deck found out that our cup broke on the handle, we’ve been looking for a place that still sells the Diamondback cups the Orange ones. Does anyone know where to find those? After that we ate lunch, came back went to The Beast and had a 75 Minute wait, okay cool. That line moved VERY quickly. Oh and guess what I got the front again. FIRST time for the front of The Beast like that front row, there was NO ONE in it so okay cool we’ll just ride that. We all had a lot of fun on that. I like it in the front actually seems less jerky. Really that was it we didn’t go on anything else. We got to watch the Magic Show at the KI Theater had some fun wondering how the HECK they do that (always baffles me) That was it for the day we had KILLING feat and left the park at around 6ish. We never got to go into the Eiffel Tower I wanted to see how bad the lines where. And how full the parking lot was we can see it on the ground how busy it was. I barely got any pictures this time sadly. So none of those I did manage to get more of SOB but I don’t think I’ll really post them as images on here just typing for now.

I would suspect that they will get rid of the section of SOB closest to Flight Deck so they can continue the ride during the time they are open and taking down SOB. They probably already have begun working on it but it's only slowly and probably in the back half of the coaster.

Probably not even be thre by the time you get there. We're not sure if we are going to sit there for about at least 2 hours per line once everyoen gets in.

Wow, few people went to Kings Island today, Hoepfully I know someone coming tomorrow! Least you had a great day!

I might find it befor eyou though cause I am heading out in about 12 hours.
