RCDB lists TT as 80' and Chang as 154'.

I am really looking forward to this announcement on what the coaster actually is.

If Kentucky kingdom got a Intamin giga coaster i would not be renewing my Kings Island pass for next year.

Are you kidding me?

One Intamin giga coaster is going to change your mind?

I didn't know Kentucky Kingdom had the world's longest wooden coaster, a 230ft B&M, next year the longest B&M invert, an indoor alien themed coaster, a flying coaster, a classic racing wooden coaster, a 315' Drop Tower, an award winning kids' area, a replica of the Eiffel Tower, and I could go on and on.

Oh, and the KI coaster count compared to KK: 14 - 5.

The same rides gets boring. I find myself riding less each time I come. I am surprised I got married when I was 30, since I get bored of people/things.

So Millennium Force is boring now? It's been at Cedar Point for 13 years.

If you rode it as often as YoungStud rides at Kings Island, based on how often he says he is at the park, it very well could be. Some will argue it wasn't all that thrilling to begin with.

Wife drags me to the park, I make fun of her for being an enthusiast . She still does not know I am. I ride rides for the thrill, unfortunately I don't get a thrill anymore this year at the park. The first ride on DB is okay, but then if I re ride it seems slower and if I re-ride it again it seems much slower. Last two times I rode Diamondback with no lines I could only ride 3X before I had to get off cause of boredom.

I liked going with my wife and baby to the waterpark and Planet Snoopy. My new favorite ride is boo blasters.

I can't wait till next year as I am going to travel to the west coast, east coast, and parks in the middle cause my wife wants to go ride new rides. She is very interested in the new Drop Tower at SFGAD next year.

Coasters in the 90mph range, 120mph range, and ejector machines does not get old

That's not my point anyways.

Kentucky Kingdom currently has 4 coasters, 5 next year.

How, in any way, would that make you want to get season passes compared to Kings Island with its 14 coasters? Really?

Plus, KK's coasters suck. T2 and Roller Skater - the kiddie coaster? So you only have two relatively thrilling and good coasters left.

The point was if they got a giga or a mega lite.

Plus its been years since I have ridden their few coasters.

I won't go unless they put in a coaster I would want to ride. Like I won't bother with Indiana beach, knoebles, holiday world, etc.

What if she finds and joins this site?

Wife borrowed my phone the other day and this page was up and she repeats my signature out loud,"Youngstud, you mad bro?" and made fun of it but she did not notice my pic in the avatar....

The only thing that drags me back to Kings Island is The Beast. Diamondlack is only fun up to the MCBR.

mega-lite

Is that Rob Alvey I hear weeing in the background?.....

Diamondback actually can get pretty boring at times. Usually for me the first 2 laps are great, the next 3 are are good, and then usually by the 6th or 7th time I'm like: "Ok the jack-hammering and trim brake are making me sick. I'm done."

I give the crew credit. The place looks better. But right now it looks like a shuttered fair ground waiting for the state fair to open up.... Maybe when the crowds return and the rides start running that vibe will change...

To be fair, ALL closed parks give off that vibe, and I've been in many.

However, if I was KK I would announce the coaster soon . I've had a season pass loved the park, as did my young kids:

Assuming a contract has been signed, which may or may not be a safe assumption.

Why announce ANYthing before you are ready to sell passes?

Lets say Hart is getting things ready but he is delayed opening by a week or a month or months, etc. If you sell passes and your season pass holders have no where to go... well then we have the Beach problem, again...

If KK gets any kind of Intamin for next year I think I'd have to consider a quick trip down there. After all, it's only about an hour and a half away.

Shoot the Rapids?

I should have made my self clear.

An Intamin COASTER, sans ZackSpin.

You would still go for a zac spin.

Totally agree with ya man...

Beast this season now for me is just a passtime and a joy to ride, I have discovered the very back middle row is quite fun for the first hill and daytime rides. Diamondback I can't even ride my favorite seat anymore, it's too rough, and it's fun, but it's gotten a tad boring.

I think this is what happens when you ride the rides too much and go to the park too frequently. When working CP, KI was a nice treat for me to go down every now and then, now it seems reversed...ah well

aka Familiarity breeds contempt..variety is the spice of life...the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence..Go Big..uh...

Hopefully I'll be Going Big next summer.

Go big, Go Intamin!

More Flags

More FUN

Terp, doing his thang.

The fun and only!

Zach, just tossing slogans out there.
