Kings Island and Cedar Point opening Mid-May
Wonder what this means for Coasterstock, seeing both dates are right there together. Even if it does open mid May.

Remembering King Cobra
Of the three stand-ups I’ve been fortunate enough to ride, KC was by far the most comfortable. Mantis’ layout was a better layout but it would beat me to death the second half after the brake run. Carowinds Vortex is a short ride, but it’s got the same beat your head to death that Mantis had. KC was almost glass smooth compared to them two. What a great ride it was. Personally it, by far, is my most missed defunct coaster.

Vortex Removal Updates
I’d almost argue KC was just as classic as the others. But besides an small, older kinda cult of us it’s pretty forgotten

Vortex Removal Updates
Sorry if I done this wrong. Good thing about 38” hd cpu monitor. You can really zoom in The batwing is most definitely gone. There is one little crane in there. Is for sure causing havoc

Webcam Outage Discussion
Age. Times have definitely changed. If we didn’t see it on our local news or commercials we didn’t see it. It’s amazing how people have changed with technology. No one has any trust of another’s word anymore. It’s both understandable and sad all at the same time.

Coasterstock 2017
The closer it gets, the more it looks like I may miss CS this year. Need more of me to spread around.

Preferred parking upgrade
Yes. It's usually 12-14 miles according to the little handy-dandy app on a phone. Yes saving the 300 feet at the end of a long day is great. Yes I'm sure a lot of us around here knew all that. Thanks though.
-
Preferred parking upgrade
Interesting enough you cannot upgrade parking at Carowinds. I was hoping that had not changed at KI this year. I most always upgrade. After a long day at the park, or If I've been with Malem, the closer parking spot is music to my feet.

Season drink plan questions
Yes. I bought mine through the KI website. Used it at both KD and Carowinds. As I said it was a great investment. It has already more than paid for itself.

Season drink plan questions
Are the souvenir cup smaller this year than in seasons past? Carowinds for sure look like it. I bought the paper cup plan. After a day and a half at KD and two at Carowinds, it has more than paid for itself. Absolutely a great investment.
