Nice trip report,I was there on opening of the park. I think I ran into you and said "TPR". You were wearing an Theme Park Review jacket and shirt.

 

Do you work there?

 

I had a few workers come up to me and say "take the tunnel"..lol

"Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown" was a Peanuts movie in which the gang had to win a river-rafting race, so I guess it sort of makes sense for a flume ride--but the name is a bit ungainly.

 

These young'uns have no idea. LOL

 

And as someone else mentioned, the swastika on the guys leg sums up my one and only visit to PKI as well. They would have to get the world's first Mag-Lev-coaster before I'll return.

I seen an girl with an TPR jacket an TPR shirt under the jacket walking and I said "TPR" really loud and I think "Theme Park Review" and the women said "Yea". I think she had an camera or video camera in her hands walking away from The Beast toward the barthrooms near Italian Job.

Not only did this TR rule, it reminded me to return American History X to netflix... too far?

 

Seriously awesome TR. I love the kind of TRs where it's not just coasters but all the rides in the park. Of course, I always tend to enjoy your trs.

Off topic, but does Kings Island still host a "dry run day"? I went to 2 or 3 of those back in college when my roommate worked there and he gave me the free tickets.

 

Not sure about a dry run day, but they used to open the park on the first weekend in april before cedarfair took over. I thi k they used to have a season passholder preview day, but can't remember.

That was probably me you ran into. I have a TPR shirt and TPR zippie hoodie and I was wearing them both that day. Every coaster that was running ran perfectly great and i enjoyed them all.

Since the new style restraints have been put on flight of fear, the ride has been very enjoyable. Now if they can only do something about the train comming to a complete stop furring the midcourse........

I wish they put themeing back in the Flight of Fear,I remeber the strobe lights in the building,the fog,and the lights going off and on when it lauch. They took the flag thing out of the area were the entrance is,which made me kinda sad. I like that flag thing,I thought it made it look like an real government top secert base.
