Surfrider Coaster Now Open photos
PKI Jizzman replied to rabid disney's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thanks Ian! Another credit I'd be happy to grab when I'm on the Gold Coast! How long was the line for it when you were there? Edit: Those new Intamin restraints look pretty cool, better for the coaster -

Cedar Point Coaster Trimming
PKI Jizzman replied to CdnbMatt's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Back to the CEDAR POINT trimming.....Back in early August; Mantis' trims on the first drop were on harder than the MCBR. It made some freaky noise too. One time it broke down and they test ran it without the trim....GOOD GOOGLY MOOGLY! This thing flew through the course. It nearly makes the loop, but without trims, this thing zooms through it. -
Cedar Point Coaster Trimming

The Beast has brakes/trims on: Its First Drop: Takes away airtime Hill/Drop coming out of the first turn: Takes away airtime Shed Straightaway: Cuts speed Second big drop: Cuts speed But still, it's not a BAD ride...it just has trims in all the good parts of the ride! -
Former Paramount Park patrons...
PKI Jizzman replied to bgwfreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Kings Island is doing okay. Just an alright coaster added to the collection of 'meh' rides. Pros: -As I can see already, Halloween Haunt! -New wood to needed rides (Racer, Beast, SOB..) -Better brochures IMO -Ride ops seem more enthusiastic on the occasion -Limited one train ops -Park seems cleaner Cons: -Firehawk is very unreliable -Prices on food are higher -Still Paramount Uniforms -Seems KI rides have more downtime this year -
Wow, last night was aLOT of fun! There was supposed to be Flight of Fear and Firehawk open to keep the party in the "X-Base" area. Welllll, Firehawk broke down so they opened Vortex! Halloween Haunt props were everywhere; spiderwebs, the KI Haunted Mansion things were out in Coney Mall! And out front, the old SOB cars with skeletons in it! The maze called: "Death Row" was open last night (last year called the Asylum) Pretty much no wait for it so I went on it twice. For the Halloween Haunt guys, they did a pretty damn good job for a "Test Run" Night. All the scareactors had black and white outfits on, with much blood and wounds allll over. The maze took about 5 minutes to complete; 3 if you were good. There are TONS of tricks and traps all over. I heard a group was lost for almost 1/2 hour! LOL! Most likely because the scareactors told you the wrong way to go and they blocked the right way! There was the same heartbeat bass music playing throughout, coupled with sirens, strobe lights, and mirrors. There are parts that are **VERY** hard to see through, the fog is so thick and there is no light! AAANNNDDD mirrors confuse the crap out of you! I was the leader of my group when I went through, and I only jumped about three times. I'm not really the typical scared guy, haha. About every five feet, you have to part a plastic tarp, and there is usually a ghoul behind it ready to attack. The only thing I can see improvement on is the scaring. Sometimes the scareactors would just look at you as you walk by, or when there is a perfect spot to scare, no one is there. Yeah, it's a test run, so I really hope it will be better when I come back in October! Overall, it was really fun! I went on it twice; once with a group.....and second by myself. It was ALOT scarier by yourself....haha, SO much more vounerable to everything. The maze: This is truly a maze! [9/10] Scarefactor: 7/10 Effects, show: 8/10 Makeup/costumes: 9/10 Dead prison mates are freakin' creepy!

FLIPDUDE's Midwest PTR
PKI Jizzman replied to FLIPDUDE's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
No, but I should have. I didn't notice it broke until I took it out later in the day....Good thing is, KI got bins back so you can put your stuff there! But it was a stupid policy when they kept repeating, "We aren't responsible for your articles left in the station." -
