Hang And Bang

Voyage goodies... I don't usually buy theme park crap but I had just ridden Voyage for the first time... dopamine was coursing through my brain... the gift shop was RIGHT THERE. I had to buy stuff.

Son Of Beast had to be represented amongst the smilies. What would happen if donkeys were replaced with giraffes?

I'm gonna have to say Son Of Beast, too. I have a high threshold for roughness but SOB really tested my limits. It's by far the most painful coaster I've been on.

I'm back home and relaxing after my whirlwind weekend. I had a blast! Loved Kings Island - Beast was incredible, I made sure to get some night rides in and was blown away by how intense it was, especially the double helix in pitch black darkness. I was really surprised by how much I absolutely loved Vortex! The forces are great in the back during the first drop and the vertical loops. Honestly those were probably my two favorite coasters in the park, and they're both over twenty years old. I took some pics with my phone I may post later, quality isn't great though. BTW I looked for you Zach, but there's like 8 different game areas between Racer and Vortex so I never spotted you. Did you work both days? Friday I had a couple of delays and only got a couple of hours of park time, but I was there all day and night Saturday.

Thanks for the tips! You two have been very helpful. I'll make sure to stop by and say hi while I'm there Zach. I'm John. BTW I'm stopping by Holiday World on the way home. Another first for me!

I'm going to Kings Island for the first time this Friday and Saturday! I'm looking for tips of any kind on how to best navigate this park since I'm sure it will be packed both days. What areas / rides should I hit up first? Does KI offer any kind of Q-Bot or Flash Pass system? Do they have single-rider lines? Any help would be appreciated!

I am the 201st guy who likes guys. To further illustrate this I present me and... Madonna! You can tell by her body language that she truly loves me.

Deja Vu @ SF Great America last Tuesday. Unlike Skippy I had only wonderful experiences on this beauty all 7 times I rode it. Is it wrong of me to say this Vekoma has downright sexy curves? It's the dirty, hard-rock, younger sister to Mr. Freeze's Harvard-trained older brother. If that makes any sense.

For me it's Twisted Twins. It has no momentum! All those tight banked curves are wasted because everytime you're about to go into one the train slows to practically a crawl.
