This has been a big problem for me. Which system to decide? I love Sony. Yes, I'm a Sony Fanboy. I thin kthe PS3 is a great machine and is actually a bargain. For roughly $500 you get a state of the art game system, that should run at $400 alone, and a blu-ray player that usually runs for an upward of $1000 alone. So instead of spending a good $1500 you only spend $500. But the 360 has the greatest online play ever! I emphatically love being up at 5 in the morning playing Call of Duty 4, Gears of War, or UNO with people from Japan, Mexico, Canada, and our beautiful country. It's been very hard for me to decide which system to invest in and I still haven't chosen. I still just pop in Metal Gear Solid 1/2/3 and play that on my PS2. I don't know.

Did I say their wasn't opinions in my posts? Why do you think sometimes I wrote "in my opinion" or "I think." But I am giving facts to leave judgement to the reader. I know most of the time people's minds can't be changed. I don't believe that one side is right either. Trust me I have many doubts and do not care for Republicans and Democrats. Before I'm for any Party I'm a conservative. Conservative's are not restricted to being Republicans. Many Republicans such as McCain have very "retarded" views on alot of things as do Democrats. I will agree with you that they're are grey area's in mostly everything. The only thing that is black and white, right and wrong is the word of God, the Bible. Mostly everything else has gray areas as apposed to just black and white. But now when, and if, McCain is elected the Senate has the chance of becoming majorly Democratic, as it pretty much already is.

What the heck is your question?

I think Cedar Point is the winner. I love Millennium Force but the rest of the park, rides and all just completely suck. JUST KIDDING! I have to agree with mostly everybody on this, I think Beech Bend is the worst park in respect to a great coaster. I mean yeah the Wild Mouse is "fun", the Looping Star is "fun" (and scary), and the haunted house was ok. I just really didn't like the park that much other than Kentucky Rumbler.

I'm one of those conservative tired of most Republicans leadership. Bush has his flaws but he has done greater things for this country than anyone is willing to open there mind to. McCain is one of the flawed Republicans but he's definitely a better choice than Obama. To all you people who think I was "ranting" I was defiantely not! I was not sayin' stuff like "Get that retard out of there!" or something like that. I was giving precisely cited statements and "cutouts" from articles. I in no way changed anything to better my statements. All I did was say truth and now people are saying I'm ranting. That BS. I'm not trying to change your peoples minds I'm just giving you FACTS and leaving the judgement up to you. Like I already said most of you will not disbar from your faith to Obama and the Democratic Party but it's all up to you. And for the record if you truly are a conservative (not Republican not Democrat, just overly a conservative) and truly believe Obama is the best man for the job I really think you should sit down and assess your goals and what you believe in.

I rather snowboard. Do you like Whoppers?

Geez man, that kids young give him a break.

Thanks you SO much for this information! I greatly appreciate it! Well my plans are in a very early stage, but I would be planning on going on a monday of the second or third week of June. At this point I would probably be able to get an hour or two in before the park closes on sunday night. Then the next day I would probably stay until about 4 or 5 to head up to Cedar point. The Sunday night I would ride Diamondback and Beast and the next day I would get all the credits and a couple rerides on Diamondback and Beast. Would that be a probable plan? Yeah that sounds like an Ok plan. I doubt it will be like that. Maybe the first months or so but not to long, if at all, after that.

I just saw this movie tonight. I can honestly say that this is definitely one of the greatest movies of all time!!! I love how Batman is dark, like he was meant to be, The Joker was funny as hell and had a great voice, I loved the underlining conservative morals and ideals, and the screenplay was just amazing. It's a definite 10/10.

Why does this thread have trouble written all over it? Because the truth about Obama might leak out? First off, being a conservative shouldn't be an "opinion" to you, it should be a lifestyle. Being a Republican and a conservative are 2 totally different thing; and now about my age. I think that I, meaning no offense to you, am more informed than you about the two candidates and politics in general. Maybe I'm wrong but I strongly believe that I am. I did not say that "[your] not a Republican." I said that there is no way that from saying "I am voting for Obama because I like what he is standing for..." that you can be conservative. Now I'm going to type somewhat long but very informative "thing" on Obama and other topics circulating. If you are considering voting for Obama I highly suggest reading this. I give you my word that nothing will be thrown out of context or anything like that. You Obama supporters might not like me for writing this but I can assure you that everything I write it the downright truth. All about Obama and other “hot” topics ---------------------- Obama promises “Change” and “Hope.” His foreign policy is 60 years old. His domestic policy is 30 to 35 years old. So where is this “Change” he’s talking about, and how are we supposed to have “Hope” in him? There is nothing new about his (and the rest of the Democrats) policies. The only distinguishable thing is that it’s failed everywhere it’s been tried. Yet they are willingly, purposely, and knowingly inflicting damage on the engine of the country, which is liberty and freedom, all for their own power and larger government to control the American people’s lives. To me it’s far more serious than people are willing to acknowledge. The left has set this up brilliantly, because this loss of freedom is based upon the allegation that we all have committed a sin by driving SUV’s or polluting in other ways, that we are destroying the planet and we have to pay for it, we are too big, we “steal” all of the worlds resources, and we do nothing fro the world. It’s genuine Anti-Americanism that has taken over the Democratic Party. 30 years ago Obama would have been disqualified from the Presidential race after the first Rev. Jeremiah Wright sermon had been heard. “Goddamn America?” it would have been “Goddamn you, buddy, you’re out of here”. The voters would have not of put up with it. When Obama says that America is “3% of the population but uses 25% of the resources”, that’s nonsense. How we define resources is actually driven by ingenuity. The greatest resource today is American entrepreneurial ingenuity. That is the thing that finds cure for disease. That is the thing that insures when a tsunami strikes in Indonesia or Sri Lanka, that America can get aid there; the Belgians, God bless ‘em, are incapable of doing it. The greatest resource is American ingenuity and Americans can have 100% of it! Do we feed the world? Do we clothe the world? Do we help people in need? The Iranians can have an earthquake or a hurricane and we’re over there helping immediately. Our goodness, as a country, is totally ignored when it comes to Obama and the Democrats. After Barack gave his “race” speech in the wake of the Rev. Wright “incident”, liberals rejoiced. Todd Gitlin, professor of journalism and sociology at Columbia University, told a newspaper, The New Republic, “This speech was a triumph on so many levels…Obama offered himself as the man who rises from flames and offers you to rise from your own. He took a grievous embarrassment and moved his lesson to the plane of prophecy. Talk about hope; talk about audacity. Tears came to my eyes.” “The best speech given on race in this country,” Chris Matthews on CNBC’s “Hardball.” “A speech worthy of Abraham Lincoln…one of the greatest speeches in American history.” He wasn’t done. “This kind of speech I think first graders should see, people in the last year of college should see this before they go out into the world. This, to me, should be an American tract. Something you just check in with, now and then, like reading The Great Gatsby and Huckleberry Finn. Read this speech once in a while, ladies and gentlemen. This is us. It’s us with the scab ripped off…we have never heard anything like this.” In “Obama’s Speech Moved Mere Politics,” The Sacramento Bee editorialized: “Barack Obama delivered the most profound and articulate speech on race in America since Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. proclaimed, ‘I have a dream,’ in 1963…Regardless of what happens in this campaign, the speech will be studied now and forever for it nuanced picture of race in America today…This was not a campaign speech, it was Barack Obama speaking to the ages. The godless left has found it’s “Savior”-in- Chief. Liberals are in love, ladies and gentlemen, weeping and swooning at Obama rallies and prostrating themselves at his calls to belief. “I am running now because of what Dr. King called the ‘fierce urgency of now,’” declared the “Blessed” Barack to a crowd in Fairview, Ohio. “Our nation is at war. Our planet is in peril…I am in this fight to give a voice to you, to champion your cause.” What “cause”? It’s in the eyes of the causee. Obama’s acolytes have projected onto him their wildest political fantasies, as demonstrated by these testimonials to the UK Times Online: Phil Sowell, a retired government official, scarcely pauses for breath when asked what Barack will do if he’s elected President: “He will bring peace to the Middle East and anywhere in the world where there is tragedy.” Yusuf Abdi, 55, says: “ He will change everything – health care, no war, education. He can do anything.” Donny Murray, 21, says that Mr. Obama “has definitely got a better plan” for tackling global warming. How so? “I’m not sure about the specifics, I just think he’ll get more people involved,” he says. Sarah Jaffy, 41, says: “I really like his health care plan. And theirs another policy – it’s my favorite – ooh, I can’t think of it now. Likewise, Chris Matthews (of all people) had to ask an Obama endorser, Texas state senator, Kirk Watson, three times, “Can you name anything he’s accomplished?” His response, “No, I’m not going to be able to do that tonight.” Listen, people see whatever they want to see in this candidacy that floats on vapid clouds of “hope, change, the future”. Obama admits as much in “The Audacity of Hope” (his book for all of you that don’t know) : “I am new enough on the national political scene…that I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.” On the campaign trail he has billed himself as “an imperfect vessel for your hopes and dreams.” Which is why Obama doesn’t have supporters, per se; he has followers. Note that Senator Jay Rockefeller’s (Democrat, WV) “rationale” why voters should make Obama Commander-in-Chief: “It’s just how you feel about him. I trust him.” Folks, this kind of blind allegiance to America’s most liberal senator (as ranked by “National Journal”)- who has not a clue how the American economy works, who wants to meet with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez, who worships at a church that preaches that the U.S government created the AIDS virus, to wipe out blacks – is daunting. Intellectual “firepower” will not shatter his followers “faith.” And that’s the point we’re dealing with here, faith. At this stage, facts don’t matter. Analysis doesn’t matter. Yet. It will, over time, with a significant number. Eventually. But it’s a very slow going process. Trying to disabuse people of their liberal “faith” is our challenge. There is a direct parallel here to human caused “climate change.” The left have convinced millions of people around the world to accept the hoax of global warming. Perfectly harmless people, not even ideologically inclined, bought into Gore’s psuedo-scientific movie “An Inconvenient Truth.” You can recite chapter after chapter of factual refutation-it hits a wall. The global warming cult is just that: a religion. Yet, in the U.S., only half the country believes in the global warming pap. Why? We (the conservatives and other like minded people) are making progress, simply by telling the truth (like I am now). Some people have said that if it wasn’t for disputers, non-believers, skeptics, whatever they’d like to call us, 80 percent of the country would believe it, just as the rest of the world does. So it can be done, separating people from their “faith,” when the faithfulls beliefs are bogus. The one thing I know is that it cannot be accomplished by agreeing to part of the hoax to show you’re a nice guy. This is a war, and you need warriors to fight wars. We’re warriors here. The good news is it’s likewise possible, although tough, to expose the Obama “cult.” Though Obama has asked the media not to play any more clips of Rev. Wright, the repeated airing of the audio and holding Obama’s feet to the fire on Rush Limbaugh’s program has had an effect. One early CBS poll showed that a third of the former Obama supporters who have heard about the Wright “incident” now have an “unfavorable” view of the candidate. That’s a dramatic turnaround in very little time. I can’t believe I just wrote that much. I think anyone who actually read the greater part of that has a better understanding of Obama and his “policies.” I’m going to right more I just can’t type anymore tonight. To all the true conservatives out there, thank you for your ideals and don’t let anyone turn you away from them!

The lowest price for regualr that I recently saw was $3.64.

No conservative would vote for Obama. Either you're confused about what a conservative is or you just thinkyou are a conservative. Obama is agaisnt everything conservative's stand for. Maybe you're a liberal Republican sort of like Huckabee was but you are definately not a conservative. I might be totally wrong and you just might be confused about Obama. If you PM me with a message called "explain", I'll explain to you why Obama is not what a conservative should be looking into.

Yes! The drums were amazing! The starting ceremony was amazing.

I'd like to see what TPR members think on this subject and who you would vote for. I'm totally against the "messiah" (Obama) but I'm not all for McCain. Of course he's better but not the best. I personally would've liked to see Mitt Romney in the White House, but that's not going to happen now. Please explain your selection somewhat thoroughly why you chose who you did.

Thanks alot. Maybe. From the pics I've seen of CW its alot different, but also similar.

Well to start off you must go on a weekday. The best day would probably be Monday or Wednesday. Go right when the park opens and you should be able to hit everything in the park no problem. You could probably even get double rides on most things. At the "running of the bulls" instead of going over to where Drop Tower and Son of Beast are, Action Zone, go to the Rivertown section of the park; where the Beast and the Crypt and the construction of Diamondback are. Now if you start there and work your way counter clockwise around the park, from that spot, you should have at the most 10 minute waits on most rides. When you go make sure to do all the coasters. As for flats, do Drop Tower, The Crypt (it has a great running system now), Delirium, any other's you want. Also take a ride on the train. Even though it's not "thrilling" you can still get some great views, especially of Diamondback's construction, the rapids ride, and some of Boomerang Bay (the water park). Let me know when you're planning on going and I (or ask PKI ManJZ) could give you a good idea of what's going on.

Yeah, Kings Island desperately needs a very solid, re-rideable coaster. A mega coaster fits the bill 1000x better than a one-trick Strata coaster. It would be especially dumb considering that TTD is just a few hours drive away from Cincinnati. There is no B&M mega coaster in Ohio, nor is there one in any of Ohio's adjacent states. It'll be a very fresh concept to the vast majority of Kings Islands patrons. I second that. I love Top Thrill Dragster, hence my name, but as you said it's a "one-trick" coaster. And believe me, when I first saw that thing in person I almost crapped my pants and I had already ridden Magnum with no problem. Now I'm not saying everyone is like me but as "ginzo" said I think Diamondback will appeal to a greater audience than TTD. Who know's only time will tell.

It looks pretty good to me. Make a POV video so those of us without No Limits can rate it.

Well thank you for the compliment and I'm glad I could give you some insight of the park. About the camera. I'm using a new Canon Powershot S5 IS. For only $350 I find it to be a great camera and it does everything I need. Check back later because I got a bunch of other photo's. If you give me your email I can send you higher resolution pictures. Just tell me which ones you want.

I think it's an overall good coaster. I say good because some of the banked turns are too overbanked, the are a few bumps in places, and the pacing is a little off. But like I said, overall it is a great coaster and I wouldn't mind riding it.

I kinda doubt it 'cause Goliath is sweet, but hopefully and maybe. Diamondback is taller and faster.

I I'm sorry. For some reason I thought that was your home park. He's not from that park and that's why he was confused about my statement. I think he knows their's two B&M's their. He rode them!

Vortex at Kings Island.

Great!
