    The trip down memory lane continues! Found these pictures of the park from 1985. Enjoy! The corkscrew. Yeah. They used to let it leave the station with the restraints up if no one was in the seat. Corkscrew and Big Dipper Corkscrew POV Look at that drop! Double Loop One of the two loops The other loop The trench between loops First drop The Wave Big Dipper

    That lunatic is my husband! And yes....the lines USED to be insane for Mantis. They may even have been down to one train that day! And the ink NEVER came off! The worst part is you would forget, put your hands in your pockets, and stain your shorts for all eternity!

    Some pics from the park in April 2010. Intimidator 305 had only been open about a week. This was I believe a week or so after Easter, but the park was dead. I ended up getting about 7 rides on I-305 and greyed out on each and every one! Enjoy!

    Some more retro-ish pics. These are from 2010 and the year between when Big Bad Wolf was removed and Verbolten installed. Enjoy!

    Some pics from July 2005, almost 15 years ago. Paramount still owned the park so there are remnants of that. Enjoy!

    Preach! Been saying this for YEARS! Especially when Knotts has the BEST log flume in the world! Cedar Point could make their own version of that and put in on Frontier Trail or Frontiertown. PLEASE! Not everyone wants to get SOAKED and walk around with wet shoes all day!

    I miss the show in the Festhaus. I will NEVER forgive the director of Entertainment who insisted on making his mark on every show in the park and subsequently ruined everything. And after he had the original staff all fired, he got canned. Despicable. And I can say this since I worked for 4 years in the Entertainment Department. Anyway, enjoy the pics!!

    I have a TON of stuff but thought I would share two of my favorite ones! A framed poster from Rollercoaster that I believe was used in Australia. I love how they use the train from the Revolution but on wooden coaster track! Definitely Australia due to the NRC rating: NRC for "not recommended for children under 12" (previously X, A or not suitable for children. This later became PG for "parental guidance") Jurisdiction: Australia My friend got me this from eBay.

    While stuck at home, I found this 1997 Press Kit CD from BGW. LOTS of pics of defunct rides so enjoy! The cover The back cover Check out the requirements! I hope I have Windows 3.1 Remember this 3D movie? 4th row back in the yellow tank top. Yeah. That's me. We had to ride it 9X for this press shoot. AWFUL!!

    Absolutely LOVE this park! We went for Christmas this year and I was able to do 2 nights of Knott's Scary Farm. Cannot WAIT for all of this quarantine to be over so I can go back and have some of that awesome fried chicken! Thanks for the TR and pics!

    Maybe put up a compilation of some closed and GOOD riddance coasters! I am thinking: Viper at Six Flags Great Adventure Flashback at SFMM Python Pit at Jeepers

    I don't miss the BLINDING paint colors of Seuss Landing! I opened that part of the park and it was VERY bright!

    Found some pictures of Islands of Adventure from April 1999, about 2 months before they officially opened. Enjoy!

    Just got this announcement: "Thank you to our current Cedar Point Season Passholders for your continued support. Given the uncertainty around our park opening, we want to share an important update regarding 2020 Season Passholder benefits. 2020 Season Passes and purchased 2020 Season Pass Add-On Products (if applicable) will be valid for the remainder of 2020 when our park is able to open, PLUS we will extend your pass through 2021 Season. For complete details, please visit: bit.ly/2XHuKeR" So awesome of them. Cannot wait to get back to the park this year AND next.

    Skyrush. How could I forget? I rode it opening year and the PAIN I felt in my thighs at the end was horrible. I now refer to it as Blood Clot: The Ride. Were these changed or altered at all? I rode it once and vowed never again.

    X2. Hated it. Maverick. Now I don't hate it, but I also don't go out of my way to ride it every time. I'd rather marathon on Cheetah Hunt.

    A little over a month to go...the entire country is STILL shut down...And Kings Island has yet to post any updates on CoasterStock. I know this is an incredibly insignificant event in the grand scheme of things, but I would really appreciate some info so I can cancel, reschedule, and refund my flights, hotel, rental car, etc. Hate to sound like a broken record, but COME ON! Just cancel or reschedule already!
  23. pianojohn
    Still waiting for a decision to be made about Coasterstock. As much as I was looking forward to this, we have no idea what kind of season any park will have especially if we're still social distancing. I am gonna say about 99% of them cancelling or rescheduling. Anyone else?
  24. pianojohn
    I would think they would offer this to all Platinum Passholders. Fingers crossed!

    While we are all waiting with anticipation for opening dates around the world, I thought I would share some pictures I found while browsing through my external hard drives. These are all of Drachen Fire under construction. Enjoy! Winter 1991 Track in the employee parking lot Winter 1991 On site
