Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Also explains why I barely squish into Vortex and Flight of Fear. Knees don't bend in ways that would make it a better fit. Probably also explains why Mantis was the most painful coaster experience I ever had.

I don't have the url handy but it's under the "Online Fun" button on the Visitkingsisland.com site.

It'll be wild.

I'm just glad they had a successful few years here. It was a great show, and I'm glad to have seen it both seasons. Hopefully the quality was not ignored when they come up with the next new show.

Based on looking at the Banshee webcam, Bat has its second train back. Or they're unloading, loading, and dispatching within 10 seconds. Whichever sounds more plausible.

Maybe they could make the Streak mean again. I find it to be a big, boring nothing of a coaster with nothing Mean about it. It's okay but I should think the "Roller Coaster Capital of the World[emoji769]" would have something better. And yes, I Mean it.

He did a few videos talking about funnel cakes. Guys, that's tough work. Give him a break.

You must be well proportioned. You weigh about 150 pounds more than I do at the same height. I have to basically jam my knees into the car to fit on Vortex and Flight of Fear. I can't imagine how hard it would be with 150 extra pounds. Then again, I would say Adventure Express is the most forgiving coaster. And Woodstock Express the least, outside of Flight of Fear. Good on ya.

Hmmmmmmm.. I wonder if Carowinds is changing the name of its water park? https://www.facebook.com/carowindspark/videos/vb.91085023598/10153556253243599/?type=2&theater&__fns&hash=Ac2h0nZE33LMJg2z If that didn't answer it for you, see post 57.

That would be unlike Lagoon. They seem to be in custom, self-designed coaster mode. There's also the noise factor they have to be mindful of (Lagoon is very, very close to residents), and space. Cannibal also cost a pretty penny so I wouldn't expect another coaster for a while there.

I hope some 2016 will be discussed, just like at WoF today.

Last thing they needed. I wouldn't go.

It is funny how some things are said so matter of factly in retrospect. "The cars will be back." I am curious as to what Shawnee Landing was. Was it just canoes you could paddle around the ponds that surrounded what would become The Beast?

It was a really bad one.

My god I did 1-1 earlier this year and it was almost an out of body experience. As in I felt my skin was going to fall off of my body. It was so forceful and jarring. And I loved it.

The new name will be Valegend then.

The rumors are re-tracking and new trains. Positive news in the long run.

People underestimate coasters and overestimate their own mortality. Unfortunately.

I'm beginning to think you don't like Vortex.

Barbed wire isn't a good look unless it fits the theme. I'm of the mindset that if someone wanted to do this, they're going to find a way. Just one of those freak things that are nearly impossible to prevent barring walls or more ridiculous things.

Here's a link to the Facebook post with pictures of it being removed. Apparently it was off the main track yesterday, but is being completely removed today. https://www.facebook.com/KingsIslandFansite/posts/544312659049775
