Fast Lane 2015
^ That's awful. I would have complained big time. Fast Lane waits less, it's not immediate boarding.

Fast Lane 2015
I already purchased my ticket to KD for our trip in April. Got lucky I guess because what I paid for the ticket and FL+ would be a little less than what it is now combined. In all honesty it's kind of brilliant to try and sell as many FL as you can before people get to the park and realize that maybe the lines won't warrant using it.

"Come on, get on, Cedar Point!" Comes to mind when you talk about theme songs.

Fast Lane 2015
It's a nice lineup. The one time I purchased Fast Lane Plus last season was probably the most fun day of riding coasters I've ever had. I will definitely buy it at least once more this season with FOF now on it. I enjoy FOF but I hardly got to ride it with it's extremely slow moving line last season.

Kings Island Super 8 reel from 1972
This is awesome! So cool to see the park from that time.

Great Adventure:Where You Are Part Of The FUN
Had no idea our Condor was from Great Adventure. Learn something new everyday. And there is still time to learn more.

Cannibal : NEW at Lagoon in 2015
Yup. Flying Turns at Knoebels was an in house project as well I believe.

Cannibal : NEW at Lagoon in 2015
I'm not going to lie here, If it wasn't for Fury, Cannibal would have a legitimate chance of winning best new ride for 2015 (Even against Thunderbird which I'm very excited for).
-
Thunderbird has launched!
Everything just looks so fluid on a B&M. That's why they look so pretty. Smooth transitions and beautifully banked turns come to mind

Most Important Part of a Coaster?
I chose length mainly because I like to fully take in an experience when I ride and sometimes with short coasters (TTD) it's hard to. Not saying short ones are bad but give me Beast and Banshee over TTD any day.

Coney Mall flat rides
Let those ride op probs flow. Better to get them out now than in front of the guests. I feel your pain.
-
Shake, Rattle, & Roll is back!
Well we can definitely fit a third in somewhere. Any standup is good for me.

Adventure Expressions
Adventure Express shouldn't be leaving us anytime soon. To me, it fills a niche in the park. It's a great stepping stone attraction and honestly still gives a fantastic ride to anyone who rides it.

Love that picture^^ and the countdown. The color schemes are way different but they honestly complement one another so well.

Coney Mall flat rides
Terp is correct there. My home park is bringing some of them back for the 40 Seasons Celebration. So while it's rare, it's not impossible for the chains to bring them back.

Girl braves surgery to ride Banshee!
This is incredible! Makes me feel bad about some of things I have complained about in the past.

Coney Mall flat rides
^ Rivertown needs a good flat ride back there. One would have been cool where the new Haunt building went.

Working at Kings Island...
Just try not to stack as much as last years crew did. Good luck working a three train monster! Have fun!

Coney Mall flat rides
This topic emphasizes the fact of how much Kings Island needs a couple full sized flats. Don't forget Viking Fury in Oktoberfest! ^

Coney Mall flat rides
SRAR is my favorite flat in this area. I love all the flats here even if I don't always ride them. I think the flats give Coney Mall some of it's atmosphere.

Carowinds will be investing $50 million in the next three years!
Kings Island is also one of the few parks with plenty of land to build a giga without having to rip out an existing ride. The park attendance is there along with the desire for one.

Which would you choose if you had one weekend?
At this moment in time the only one I have visited on the list is Hersheypark so I will only comment on it (even though I think your decision is made). The ride lineup is interesting. You've got Intamin, B&M, Vekoma, GCI, Schwarzkopf, Arrow, and Mack all in one park. The Intamins in the park are great and definitely are worth the trip. Skyrush is a little painful but the ride is super intense. The GCI woodies are fun. The Great Bear is a very unique invert. Not My favorite invert I've been on but its a must at Hershey. Sidewinder is super smooth for a Boomerang coaster. Don't overlook Comet. It's a fantastic coaster. If it's hot, Coal Cracker is one of my favorite flumes. Food didn't really stand out to me when I was there but it wasn't bad either. Operations were slow at Hershey but nowhere near as bad as my home park (SFGAm). Park had shaded areas and had lots of character. All in all Hershey was a fun day. I definitely want to go back but it's not high on the return list at the moment. I'll be visiting the other three parks in April and will be able to give you some more info on them. Good luck on your decision!
