The part that would be funny is Kings Island not getting a B&M once again.
I think Kings Island just might be getting a B&M coaster. Not sure if its the red track or not it could very well be.
-
Guess the cats out of the bag now they are showing off the construction. I be at the park on Sunday and I be taking a lot of pictures.
All yeah the lay out of the ride did show a splash down do it could be a dive coaster.
-
The red track could be for Kings Island, but who knows will learn soon whats going on.

Kings Island just posted their new map online for the 2008 season.

I wonder whats going on here? A new ride for 2009?

Dude, Fanta Lime and Fanta Raspberry is some AWESOME stuff. And I think Australian Coke tastes different than USA Coke. For better or worse? Don't know. But Mexican Coke with real sugar cane is pretty darn goooood.

Thank you for the pictures from World of Coke. Its kinda funny I can get Mexican Coke and USA Coke at my work.

Like Ginzo, I wouldn't care if they tore the thing down because, given the history of its current owner, they will never invest the money to restore it to its former glory. It's a flat out shame.
And even if they did restore the track and remove the trims the ride still wouldn't be as good as it was when it used buzz bars and no center dividers. I remember the year they put in the ratcheting lap bars. That was sad.
They just replaced the skid breaks with trims. Also their is only one coaster at Kings Island with buzz bars still.

Has there ever been any talk of doing some rehab work on the Matterhorn's track? It seems like the ride could be amazing if it were a little bit smoother. The ride experience is very unique: Not many coasters are as immersive, bringing you right into the nitty gritty of the action. But the bumps, while not horrible, prevent it from being a great ride.
Oh, and I've only rode the left side. If the right side is better, I wouldn't know.
The Matterhorn has some track work done last year. I went a week after it was done.

You should e-mail rcdb that picture to show them its open. Sometimes they do get things wrong.

Glad you all liked my TR.
Timber Tower was running in the morning and went down in the afternoon.
Just be glad you did not get stuck on Timber Tower I was up their for a good half hour. Did they let you get any rerides on Thunder Head?
Great trip report
-
I was on the Topple-Tower at Dollywood this past Oct. when it broke down. It took about 30 min. to get use down and the rest of the day it was closed after that.
The Huss rides at Kings Island do seem to be down alot.
-
Okay now it says.
The file can not be found, this may be because it has been deleted for violating the TOS, not a valid file type or has never existed.

I don't really like the new logos and glad to see Coke Cola back for the year.
Nice pictures I have to get out their one of these year.

Is Hurler anything like Thunder Run at SFKK?
I thought Hurler was alot like Thunder Run and so did my brother. I did not get much air time with the set belt on.
Here are some pictures I took during Sarowinds before it got dark.
This picture was taken during the day.

I really agree with that. Mystery Mine gets alot of hate for being rough but it really depends on where you sit and what car. The front is always rougher than the back on Euro Fighters is what I find.
Mystery Mine inproved alot by the end of the season with giving consistent good rides. I think they got more used to dealing with it and maintaining a steel coaster. Also by the end of the season the didn't trim it as bad so you got awsome ejector off the trestle!
Lets all hope this stays good!
So that drop have some good ejector?
I rode during October and the front of Mystery Mine was still rough. Very cool pictures of Nick and thank you for posting them.

Turns out my dad saved everything from are trip in 1990. When I get time I post some Epcot Center stuff. I forgot about the free comic book they gave out.

That loop by Fort Wilderness wouldn't happen to be the F.W. Railroad, would it?
Yes that would be the old F.W. Railraod. If you PM I can give you a link to a guy that owns one of the trains from the F.W. Railroad.

I have no idea what Cedar Fair is up too. I did ride the right side of the Racers before it was turned backwords.
I will be at the park opening day and I take a lot of pictures.
-
SFKK is a great little park in Kentucky. I have been to the park before it was in the Six Flags Family. Yes the park just needs some TLC that's all.
-
Glad to see you had a nice visit to Austra. I have to get down their one of these days.
-
I can kinda see why King Cobra made the list back then. It was the new ride that year. Must be to young I did not see anyone I know.
-
Do you have anything from Coney Island, Ohio before it closed down and moved to Kings Island.
I used to have the last map but it got destroyed in a flood in the basement of my house.

Why destroy a classic by painting it purple? People would've still rode it! (Yeah, I know: Nick)
A the Beastie used to be purple for awhile also. It went from yellow, to brown, and now purple.
The Beastie is the second name used on the coaster when I first went to the park it was called the Scooby Doo.

I would watch this show, only to see the terrible singers.
Next thing you know, we'll have "Hanna Montana 4-D."
Please don't give Disney any ideas. I have to watch that show when I baby sit sometimes.
