Great news to see a good review of Batwing....hopefully Firehawk is just as good! Awesome Trip guys!

^Haha! You're right! Man, I really need to get down south again, SheiKra looks amaziingggg!

Wooooow.....if these kids were older I would question if there were drugs involved or something....I mean... ALLIGATORS! Big, nasty, quick killers! OMG that is so stupid!

Awesome news! Can't wait for more info about it!

wow! Never heard that on the Zepher! But...hmm....that's really odd and the games aren't rigged...just require skill. LOL.

^Yea, I think Firehawk looks great! Besides the fact that the station looks like a garage so far.... ^^Yea, it may be opening weekend, but they need to be presentable...they should have worked things out while testing and such.

So KI was meh. Though I still like going to it. NEW STUFF: Posotive --New Merchandise --Waterfountains Looked better -Uniforms looked better -New Shops -New Paint -More mulch/scenery in places -Better park brochure --Racer trackwork! --New, cool signs/posters --New shows! -new music/tv spots in qeue line -------bigger fudge samples!!!! Negative --IJST,Vortex, SOB, Face/Off Down. -Seatbelts. They were blegh. -Some paint looked odd -Still didnt get the Cedar Fair feel with the ride ops -Too many basketball games -lack of info about ride status outside park -mini break downs -paramount stuff still there -paramount story is garbage -cost of stuff -line jumpers -didnt like these maroon uniforms -removal of beverage machines -slingshot down -new KI sign looks tacky with flat top I went to KI for a little bit, mainly to get my pass. But I could have gotten on IJST and Vortex, but the both broke down. It was Vortex's midbrake run. Sounded like it was steaming. I got 3 rides on Racer, and Racer was awesome! Frontwards is now = to backwards! Every hill besides coming back had airtime! There were little rough spots, it was GREAT! Delirium was also great as usual, only 20 min wait. Pics below. My CFKI reaction. Meh maybe next time Yay new brochure Gotta love those Cedar Fair movies New floral arrangements! Skyline looked nicer But kidtums new toys I am fearing alright....oh God.. Nice revamped shop back to KI for Hot Summer Island show guys! Through the power of the internet, I am now in Paris Just okay dont like those colors I still managed to get a good Vortex shot Moments later....BOOO!!!!! Hey, there is my job! Thennnn....all of a sudden, there was a sound like 10000 pennies and change dropping on the track, then a big TSSSSSSSSS....sounded like Vortex was fried! It broke down....BOO!!!! Guy in the 1st car looks constipated! but the guy's face in the 3rd car sums up the moment....they have been sitting there a while..... Lift hill....mmm Happy 20th Anniversary, Vortex! Can't wait to ride that multi looper! A sight for sore eyes. Amazingly, the effects were working...but the ride wasnt! BOOO!!!!! Mmmm...smooth airtime through the trees Kings Island still has Subway! Red and black looks nice. Not alot of red at KI You can still see the tarp in there No loop! through the trees! Needs more red and black paint. But lookin good! The whole view What's that I see? Racer was a big improvement! New refferee outfits for games personel Familiar CF sign Used to be little racing cars there....not just a pile of dirt, looks nice! The plaq reads: Construction of Adventure Express roller coaster is Dedicated to Robert G. Rinckel. And some other stuff about how he was dedicated....nice! Slingshot....down. BOOO! The two best flats out there. One of the few saving graces of KI New Signs.....a plus Updated Action Zone area WTF are you doing here? Now you can fly, ride Face/off, and ride SOB painless! (and allergy free!) That's not going to work here at KI... Aint it cute? Had different patterns and everthing! Waterfountains looked really nice! Flat top = yuck. Still kinda the same...Skyline looked nicer though... Now I can fly with a headache!.....memorial day weekend Yay new pass! Only 5 min in waiting! Kinda flimsy though...wierd...and they made you write your name on it....wtf MMmmm...loopage. To CF, almost everything is a level five ride. Adventure Express is intense as Beast and FoF! LOL! Finally sooo glad to see Drop Zone in operation KI Skyline Yay KI for 2007 season. Still PKI according to the sign Oh and due to a recent terror attack, SOB was bombed and King Kobra was but back in it's place for SOB...some nice trees aswell! A plus for top gun! (yea I wish)

^Read all of these things in this thread. I dont Hate KI, it is just really starting to piss me off. But the seatbelts on FoF an IJST are unnoticable....wait...does IJST have belts like FoF? Oh well, I am leaving for KI in 1 hour. Ill have an update when I get back. Edit. SOB new track. Thanks kiextreme. Straight track. Open Memorial Day Weekend?

^Are you kidding me?!??! Whyyyy does AE need seatbelts? I mean....WTF?!!! Stupid CF!

50/50 Chance I will be there tomorrow...I NEED to get on Drop Zone for a garunteed look at SOB.....also just the park in general, I need some coasters. And yea, Racer and Beast have had seatbelts for...3-4 years.

I think there should only be a few Disney Parks....not start to put them all over, just a few per counrty and such. Disney Seas - Japan? Disney in Europe Disney World/Land - US

My friend is there now, and he says it isn't too bad. Great to hear Racer is better, but my friend also said that turning testing, they had some problems with Drop Zone...

You forgot Industrial. (Nine Inch Nails) Heavy Metal for me! System of a down, Slipknot, Bullet For My Valentine, But then there is AC/DC, Aerosmith, and other classic stuff.

Great pics, those look like some odd coasters, but would be nice to see them runnin!

There was a video of an interview with maureen kaiser at an exclusive event at kings island....and I am afraid to say she pretty much confirmed the G-Trains...

Vortex - 19 times at Kings Island...love that three train operation! Racer (backwards) - 27 times for taking a rest on a hot day. No one was there!

Excellent Trip report!!!! Yea, one thing about Disney is that the line is usually shorter than it looks. Looks like you had an awesome time!

Sounds awesome. I love System of a Down, and they criticise the government A TON.

No, I haven't, accually. But thanks for the concern. Could ya kinda cut those comments? I really don't appreciate them.

Let the testing begin. There she is airtime hill

Cold Stone did this a while back....it was great!

RHCP for life.
