Right in front of slingshot

Girl:I think that's slingshot

Dad: Nah, I think it's this way.

They proceed toward the front gate. I was like Wow....

So apparently, back when they were advertising for Runaway Reptar, they had used Face/Off as a placeholder animation to show that Reptar would be inverted (much like Firehawk used Stealth/Borg's placeholder animation to show it was a flying coaster). For starters, whenever F/OFF is shown for advertisements, it's always shown going through one of its inversions, so, not surprisingly, when it was shown to promote Reptar it got everyone, including my stepsister, in an uproar because they assumed it would be the first inverted family coaster....WITH A LOOP!!!!

Imagine the chagrin on everyone's face when, come opening day, they find out there's no loop on it. As we're waiting in line for it, an eight-year-old is relieved, yet wondering what happened to the loop. Without missing a beat, my friend next to me goes, "Yeah, that loop they showed on the commercial? Someone upstairs realized the day before the park opened that maybe the kiddies would be scared away because of the giant loop, so they took it out last night and got a brand new piece of track to put in its place."

Then, from out of the blue, the kid suddenly asked, "So does that mean God messed up when he built the dinosaur ride?"

I'm sorry, I just had to put this out there.

^ haha thats a great story! and i just have to say... sweet avatar! hahahaaha

Yeah that is pretty funny! "So does that mean God messed up when he built the dinosaur ride?" lol

Tonight at around 9:55 a woman came up to me at Phantom Flyers asking where the "Fire House" was. I looked at her confused and she said "It's a ride" I then realized she meant Firehawk. She was mad when I told her she wouldn't be able to get there in time.

^ your a heartbreaker greg

How many five year olds are tall enough to ride Beast?

Ha.

I was talking to my friend at school and he's like an inch shorter than me (I'm 5') and he said he rode The Beast when he was three. Then again, I've talked to people who said they rode Invertigo when they were two, which would be entirely impossible, considering if they were two, they would have ridden it in '97 or '98.

Heard this one today while walking by Adventure Express.

Girl:"let's go ride that spinning thing." points up at Slingshot.

Guy: "yeah, tickets are only 10 dollars."

Umm... Since when did Slingshot spin?

Also heard when exiting Racer, "we're going to go ride the Outer Limits."

I resisted the urge to ask him to let me know when he found it.

The "so does disney world" is almost as funny as CP having a clone of FOF.

yea it spins......not alot but yea watch this

"all of the riders fall out durring the ride."(while pointing to the empty trains on fof.)

Oh my god, I think that was my sister!

I was wearing my Millennium Force shirt today.

Handstamper at exit: "Where's that coaster? Is that at Worlds of Fun?"

Me: "No..."

^You would think that if they knew of Worlds of Fun they would at least know that Millennium is at Cedar Point! Especially seems how it is only 3 and a half hours up north!

In line for Diamondback

Stranger: Ya like snakes??

Me:

after the ride i couldnt stop laughin

ahhh good times

Some people don't think before they talk.

Lady in line next to me: "So are you enjoying your trip here? You staying the night?"

I didn't say anything. I would've said: "I have Gold passes, lady."

Kid in front of me in the single rider line: "You know this was supposed to have a loop."

Me: *sighs, rolls eyes* "No it wasn't. It never was. The newspaper screwed up."

Later that day I see two girls wearing airbrushed t-shirts that say "We survived the Diamondback" and had a drawing of a coaster with a loop in it.

Perhaps they were from Oklahoma?

At my lunch table today:

Friend: "So, I went to the Paramount yesterday, and I rode the Diamondback."

Me: "For one, Kings Island was not open yesterday. Second, it's Diamondback."

You forgot something: It's not Paramount!

Okay I don't understand the Slingshot thing......it spins. ????

If two people are riding and they both kick their feet HARD shortly after it launches.. trust me, it SPINS. And spins. And spins.

Once my friend and I were going on AZ ade he doesent like rollecoaster that much and he askes. "Is it as tall as Dimonback?"

My history teacher announced today that he was going to Oktoberfest at KI tonight. Did he mean HH? Did he mean he wanted to take a spin on Viking Fury?

I don't really see the big deal about calling it the Diamondback. I realize there's no 'the' in the name but I don't see the harm in saying it.

^^ Why does the word announced make everything better?

This topic reminds of when I went to Cedar Point with my best friend since grade school and we were on "Corkscrew" about to leave the station and she goes to me "Does this ride go upside down?" And 20 min before we were watching the corkscrew part of the ride! LOL

This is also the same friend that tricked me into riding Vortex and told me at the top of the hill that she had never rode it when we were 11!
