Taiwan: Waterpark Fire Injures Hundreds
Sorry, haven't kept track of it. Last time I read a news report for it was when it said there were no casualties but multiple in emergency care

Kings Island 2015 Discussion Thread
Planet Snoop? Neap PEANUTS Showcase Theater? What the heck! Did Snoop Dogg come in and take over Carowinds?

2016 announcement?
One thing I want eventually is for Kings Island to STOP boxing themselves in! They had PLENTY of room in Action Zone to allow them to expand outwards, but they put Banshee right in that area. I love Banshee and all, but I can only think of 2 areas to truly expand.

Taiwan: Waterpark Fire Injures Hundreds
This is pretty awful, my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims, even if none pass away. Most of the articles I read constantly used a quote from one of the luckier ones. Cant remember the quote perfectly but it is the one involving all the blood in the lazy river.

Next Generation Tomb Raider
Looks great, but as others said before me, maintenance nightmare.

Ugh. Do not let me down Hart.

Retro Kings Island shirts
Speaking of this, do you guys know where I can purchase some actual, coaster related posters? I tried looking for them last year in the fall before that night's Haunt kicked in, but to no avail.

Kentucky Kingdom
So are we pretty sure KK will re-open next year because I want to go, but I've already been to Holiday World and CP so I'm kinda stuck with going to KI because my beautiful pass of artificial, plastic gold unless a friend invites me. If there is a large chance of it not making it, I can save up some money somehow.

2016 announcement?
I'm thinking we will get our coaster in 2017 or 18, not 2016.

"Woah! That Intimidator 305 looks 400 feet tall!" Edit: This was from a POV in line at Cedar Point

Kentucky Kingdom
I'm not going until A. Twisted Twins renovation gets noticeably started or B. T3 opens. and by noticeable, I don't mean just a few sections of track ripped up

Anyone else have an issue with Firehawk's restraints?
Me being a smaller build (tall, skinny, super metabolism) I find them very comfy, however I also find Banshee and Gatekeeper's restraints comfy, and a little tight on the brake run. I like FH to be a little loose so I'm not all the way on the seat and dangling from the restraints (so fun yet terrifying) but that is just me.

CF To Ever Work With Intamin Again?
I don't think I want Bugs Bunny trying to force Snickers down my throat while riding Diamondback....

Trust me, I was 6-7 when I made that mistake, along with my dad and sister convincing me it was Adventure Express.

CF To Ever Work With Intamin Again?
Nah, I think it's Disney Point, and then all other parks in the chain are named after a Disney property. (Treasure Island/KI, Lion Kings Dominion)

CF To Ever Work With Intamin Again?
Oh yeah, and I would much rather have the KI Giga (if and when it comes) to be an Intamin Giga, I just feel that Behemoth and (slightly) F325 are glorified Hyper Coasters

CF To Ever Work With Intamin Again?
Ok, thank you, I thought it was that but I did not want to say that with no proof.

Boo Blasters on Boo Hill TLC
Sorry to everyone who wants a boat based dark ride, I just don't see it happening. That would be really expensive to remake the troughs for the boats to go through. Plus it would most definitely not fit in the current ride space, meaning they would be forced to go into the theater, haunt area, and backstage. Plus you got to think, this is an industry, profit must be gained. The more profit, the better. It would be much cheaper for them to use what they have.

CF To Ever Work With Intamin Again?
So we all know how buddy-buddy Intamin and Cedar Fair were until 09-10, but that obviously fell apart. With things such as low reliability and the whole "Shoot The Rapids incident", how long do you believe that CF will go without doing large business deals with Intamin? What do they need to change to have CF hire them for manufacturing for their parks? My opinion, if the whole PolerCoaster idea becomes an actual success (both functional and popular), Cedar Fair may have a change of heart. (Yes, I know S and S makes the roller coaster part)

Accident @ California's Great America, 2 injured
I love that with Hulk and Dragon Challenge, but then they cheap out and force you to pay for the ones for Jurassic Park: River Adventure and Dudley Doright's Ripsaw Falls
