Was ours was dirtier? We were in the middle of a Dave and Busters! LOL, it was like the spotlight was on us!!!

Oh come on, don't exaggerate. It's Kings Island. Did you think they'd build the perfect B&M? Of course not, again..it's Kings Island. It's just a good B&M hyper. I'm so happy we got this far.

Scooby Doo's Spooky Coaster........just like the movie! Creepy!

Thanks for the pictures Erik, great stuff! The park looks beautifully landscaped and themed.

Hey Big Mike! I've been waiting for this update! The awesome guy you were with that led you to Firehawk and Little Bill's is Brian Kosmak. He's a rides manager at Kings Island! He's a cool guy. I'll let him know you said hey and thanks when I go in today! It was great meeting up with you. Thanks for letting me check Kings Island off the list! You're more than welcome back anytime dude! Let me know if you're in the area! -Zach

For B&M Hypers....it's mainly about the thighs. That's the number one thing that causes guys and girls to not fit in the seat. The lap bar comes down onto the thighs and the waist. At Diamondback you need three clicks in order to ride.

Yum!

Wow, what a cool looking little park! I had no idea it existed, or what inhabited the place. Thanks for the report, Erik! -Zach

Did you ride in the morning? It was soooo much better. Oh, my review: I liked Boardwalk Bullet. I think it has some work needed to be done on it..well, okay, a LOT. There's quite a few rough spots on the ride, and when I say rough, I mean I can't tollerate it. That's pretty bad if I say that. BUT! I was able to ride numerous times with my hands up the whole time. There was some fun airtime, and I enjoyed the compact layout.

Okay! Day 2: AWESOME walk back to Mr. Freeze; watched morning test runs, and got a few rides before the public. We left around 12, got some Mickey D's ....and headed to Kemah! With a stop at iT'Z on the way for tasty pizza and a credit. Over all, I loved SFOT. I think it was my favorite park! The landscaping in the park was very, very pretty. The rides were great! I loved Titan, Runaway Mtn, La Vibora, Freeze, SHOCKWAVE, and most of the flats and water rides. Operations were running pretty well from what I remember. Only negative I could think of is that the combo tower was on the weak side. Oh well! Thanks for a great time! Giovani approves! Sorry if my spelling is off! Station shot! My favorite of the day! Very, very fast ride. Blurrrrrr TPR take over! Very, very, very compact. It was VERY rough at night. I liked it, but it was a pain to ride...wasn't impressed. Too bad it didn't run as good as it looked that night! Oooo....so pretty! TPR has gone crazy with the margaritas waiting for Boardwalk Bullet to open! Across the midway Pretty ferris wheel! Waiting an hour or so for the train....but they stopped operating due to the storm. Such a pretty looking coaster. Right next to the Gulf Coast! High tide? Aviator! See? Pretty sign! It's storming....doesn't appear to be open.. Such a nice first drop. Traveling in styleeeee I see a train! 59 SECONDS, RECORD IT! Hey, we made it! Bridge similar to one in Charleston and Savannah. I like it! STOP THE BUS!!!!! I'm an angry refinery.....GIVE ME ALL YOUR OIL!!!! Houston! Lots of big buildings. Some tried to sleep in ANY position possible! (that's a head Gary! ) On the bus! Coaster DVDs, South Park, Family Guy, Yo Gabba Gabba, and all sorts of crazyness.

Flight Deck/Top Gun....rough?! Un enjoyable?! That's a first. And about the whole waiting on the brake run; the ride is so short, it has to wait for the train in the station to leave before it gets out of the midcourse. Single Rider Line/Empty Seats - People chicken out at the last minute, people are too fat to ride, people don't listen and ride when they're supposed to....and on and on and on. If there's an empty seat on the train; 9/10 it was filled until a guest messed things up. What can ya do? I'm also worried about the vibrations at the bottom of the hills. Most noticably right before the trim. Some say it's breaking in. I don't know. I'm glad you noticed it! If you didn't notice any airtime in the front or back after the first drop, then....I don't know what to say. Just giving love to my baby! -Zach

Thanks Big Mike! I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Cowboys' stadium is pretty new. So it might not have been there when you visited last? I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure people were saying that was the NEW Cowboys stadium. I'll wait for someone else to clarify! -Zach

Another update! Thanks for the comments everyone. that concludes day 1 and my pictures for SFOT. Thanks for reading! Loved the lights on all the coasters. Thanks so much Robb and Elissa for this AMAZING ERT session! Post Shockwave ERT Pretty lights on Titan! The front of the park looked nice. See? Spain looked so good. Log Flume and Titan's AWESOME lift. This park is BEAUTIFUL at night. Texas Giant looks really cool at night Such a nice park. At night...thanks for putting up with me, Andrew! At dusk... Aw, it's Wes! Hey, it's Gary and Andrew! Oh, who has the curly jew hair? Freeze overview. Golden Qbot balls balls balls balls I found some eggs to go with the Koolaid Jelly! Hey, our hotel! What a fun ride. I nearly blacked out on both helixes. Mmmhm.. Titan was looking pretty Derek just oozing happyness and joy after another beer credit. Let's head back to the park! Break for super happy fun animal orgy; complete with "I'll sniff any butt!" Alligator and a waitress that went out of her comfort zone! LOL! Antonio SPRINTING for mini mine train. he must be anticipating this one. oh wait, that's like at every coaster! Credit well earned, Andrew! Super. Mini Mine Train?! Where?! TPR Mine Train take over! Even the Mine Train is hidden by all the nice plants and flowers! Nicely landscaped park. Mmm....Freeze. Shane and Erik go up up and away! On over to Superman: Tower of Power. The first day, they had to switch it from combo mode to space shot....due to the heat?

Shock Wave update!!!! This coaster was fantastic. I loved the hell outa it. Mindbender? or Shock Wave? I pick Shock Wave. Though it didn't have as pretty as a setting as Mindbender did, or a unique layout....this ride delivered. The airtime was all over the place on INSANE levels. The loops were very strong and forceful. I'll have to get a few more rides on Mindbender for good measure, but for now... Shock Wave reigns supreme! One of my favorite coasters. -Zach And I leave you with my current backround and favorite shot of Shockwave. Enjoy! More to come later! -Jizz Man Hey it's Joey and Paul! Yummm...lift hill. Airtime cliff! Oil Derrick in the backround. Shock Wave: As good as bacon. UGHHH I FEEL LIKE PUDDING Only lap bars?! Anyone catch the transfer track? It starts at rusty metal; then white; blue; and finally....green. That's the paint scheme life cycle of Shock Wave! Lovely old school trains. Like being thrown off a wonderful airtime cliff. Showing age and beauty. 360* loops! The first consecutive looping coaster! Mmm...Shock Wave. It gets even better at night!

Thanks Texas! It was fun hanging out at Whataburger and the parks. Hope to see you on some other trips! This PTR is going to be an ongoing update. Be sure to check out Luko Simlesa's photo tr for all the stuff I didn't take pics of. He did an awesome job covering things! http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=781556#781556 -Zach

Hey TPR! So, here's my Texas Trip photo trip report. I had soooo much fun! I can't thank Robb and Elissa enough for getting this whole trip together. I am going to be on another trip for sure next year! DAY:0 I got in early Thursday night so I could head over to the park early the next day. I got in late, and headed over to Denny's to meet up with friends Andrew and Erik; and to meet new friends! Like Gary, Wes, and...I forget who else was there at Denny's....it feels like a year ago! Anyways, I headed back to the hotel to meet my room mate for the trip; Luko! Luko is such a great guy. I couldn't have asked for a better room mate! DAY:1 We woke up around 9AM and got breakfast, heading over to SFOT at 9:30am. I'll let the pics do the talking. -Zach So, the first time around I went for the back to see how bad it really is...and wow, it was bad. Godawful. I got beaten up. Then I rode in the front and it was pretty fun, I liked it. But holy hell....never again in the back. Ouch. Please refurb this ride! More to come soon! It's very nice looking, very pretty... Texas Giant looming overhead.. Station. It was a fun little dark ride. I liked it. Upscale Six Flags dark ride? Awesome! Another AWESOME old school Premier! I had no idea it existed. It scared the crap out of me! I LOVED IT. 9/10! Also had GREAT landscaping. Mythbusters! Maybe they're here to check out Boardwalk Bullet too It's Gary and Luko! Where's your tail? I have a trident, so give me some Orbit Gum! SFoT was VERY aware of the heat. There were misters all over the park. Good job!! I wish premier made even bigger versions of this ride. That'd be amazing. Seriously. AWESOME ride. 10/10 Mr. Freeze was VERY impressive. A HUGE surprise. LOVEDDDD it. So good. Tony Hawk is fun...if you get the perfect balance to spin! Titan. This ride was awesome! Mmm....zero g. Judge Judy: The Ride Gary and Andrew are ready to ride! Insert you own gay joke! We were waiting in line for Chute Out; which was only running two parachutes, with one operator. These two hooligans were pushing each other in the swing over on the side. WTF? A fun little ride. I'm glad it was open! Too short, though. BEN! Haha, this dude is hilarious. Paul and Joey? Getting ready for the Chute out. One of the 3 Batmans on the trip. All completely different! This one got second place. First stop, Gotham City! Ah, the first park of the trip...Six Flags over Texas! SFoT was RIGHT across the street! 10 Minutes to walk back and forth. The Texas Rangers and the Dallas Cowboys are right next door!

This was supposed to be just my photo thread Haha, what ever I don't care. Glad to hear everyone likes this new ride. It's a very fun coaster! The front and back seats are truly an experience.

Sickens me to see Mindbender treated in such a way. Especially after those horrid NASCAR covers the other year... Damn Tony Stewart! He stole my last row seat on Millennium Force TWICE today!

Roughest: Mean Streak Confirmed today. My rib cage was BASHED. In second car. Followed by Hurler, Beast and Son of Beast.

Afterburn is awesome!

I'm going there Wednesday.

I called the park just a minute ago and brought that up... And it opened today!

My brother is hitting up the parks in Orlando this week, so I decided to call Universal and see if I could get the scoop on the opening for him; so they could push Universal back as far as possible in hope that it might open. Guest Services said that: "There isn't an official opening day for the ride, and they do NOT forsee it opening within a week; your best bet is to keep checking online. The opening should be released online." Just sharing.

Haha no way, you were there when they were trying to beat us?! There's signs all over the drive box with posters and such about the rivalry. We make sure we're being courteous to everyone; but in a very, very, VERY hasty manor! LOL! MUAHAHAH!!! Diamondback - 1599 (max capacity set: 1600) Behemoth - 1469? Something like that? (max capacity set: 1610) Diamondback crew rules!
