Mummy Coaster Getting More Scarier?
PKI Jizzman replied to spacemtfan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Beat ya to it! http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35592&highlight=revenge+mummy -
Here's a little update. Kings Island is clearing out all Paramount things! Infront of almost every store, it said: "50% off all Paramount marked items!" So expect more of a CF park soon, for better or worse. Oh yea, a man had a heart attack waiting in line for Firehawk. (hey, it was 95* out, too....)

Racer has best air over all, but Vortex has best air for a first drop. Vortex, Racer, SoB, Top Gun. More Pics! Firehawk and its one ghost-train operations Racer (Forwards in the back car) has the best airtime at KI! My #2 wooden coaster...would have been a cool pics of the trains were there, but I would have only caught one since the ops never raced them. Did I mention it's through the trees? Mmm...I like fast, non concussion-inducing helixes Full frontal, Derek. Racer Since everyone loves Delirium, I will leave you guys with this! Thanks for reading!

By the way, I rode in the red train, the thrid train of the day But these G-Trains looks funky and are many times better than the old ones. Picture time! Skies weren't too promising when I arrived... ....but got sunnier as we waited for SoB to open! Garuntee you haven't seen this before! A lot of important looking people are here My first look at the new logo...no more loop! Some more detail Oh boy...time to ride...

I got to KI around 12:15. Went straight to Son of Beast....it was testing! Video will show line and stuff, but to tell it short, we waited an hour before it opened, then got on the last car front seat. Son of Beast Review I was very nervous....the G-Trains are comfortable and the lap bars are PADDED! The train rolled out of the station and it bumped a bit as we headed to the lift. It seemed just a bit better than the old Son of Beast before. As we climbed the lift, it was still loud as usual....maybe even louder! (see video) So we go down the small drop and inch over to the 200ft drop. There was some airtime! I was really shocked at that point because it was also smooth! Smooth and airtime! After the drop, you speed up the second hill (FLYING over it compared to the old trains) and some floater air on the second drop! But here is where the ugly side shows. The first helix is very rough at the bottom, don't get me wrong it is a HUGE improvement, but still! It was rough....then you head into some brakes and down the drop to where the loop would be. Well, instead, there is a small speed bump (see Thunder Dolphin!) and curve to right. It didn't do much, but you could fell a gentle push out of your seat...nothing really. As you head up to the second helix, there are some more head choppers! Yay! The second helix was fun, a few bumps...then up and over a hill to turn around, then dive down and up into the really hard brakes! All and all it was a fun ride! I'm glad it was back open, but I'm going to stay in that seat for a while Too afraid to see what the other seats are like. So lets review. +The new trains! More leg room, padded bars and seat belts! +Airtime on the first drop! +Not as rough as it used to be in a LOT of places! +They crew was really good with running the trains! No stacking! +New credit +These seats are kind high, you down sink into them like the old ones...better views! -Loud, odd squeaks and screeches all over the ride -Still rough areas And I got to go on The Racer, it was running AWESOME today! There was airtime all throughout the ride! Ops were allowing re-rides! (9times) Vortex was good today! Front is very forceful through the loops and batwing! Firehawk learned a new trick today! It was able to keep a 2 hour line while running one train op with an empty train! Yup, the only train running was empty, it ran empty for like....5 circuits! It later got the second train on the track because they stopped running the other one I love you, Firehawk **Videos and Pics on the way** Happy Fifth of July!

http://www.wcpo.com/content/news/fresh/story.aspx?content_id=289E4496-E569-4C16-AD7A-925F313ABF8D&gsa=true Some riders claim the first two drops are pure airtime! I need to ride this to believe it. -

Best Out and Back Coasters
PKI Jizzman replied to PhillyGirl's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Goliath at LaRonde looks like the perfect out and back coaster! I also heard rave reviews from it! To me, Millennium Force doesn't really seem like an "out and back" seems more of a terrain. Though Dragster goes out, up, down, and back! -

They aren't the same, X-Flight's (it will never be referred as the F-word by me) trains are a little bit more sleek and aerodynamic-looking, especially the front cover thingy. Firehawk -

And Firehawk's lift is 10000 times louder and about seems 3 mph faster than BORG's. -
^It can really get that long? Hom much extra would you expect to wait for the very front/back?
