Are they going to recycle the entrance/ queue for riddler?

We had a blast at Michigans adventure the last few times we were there. Apparently we were not the only ones, as the park was packed. What do you mean by "sand trap"? Is that because it's next to a golf course? While I am far from being a highschool kid, I will say that I think it's time they start thinking about another coaster. While I do agree about iron wolf(horrid ride), I really like demon. The demon was actually my daughters first upside down ride. I think the new slide is great for the water park though. I am not a water park person, so it does not do much for me. Not sure how much room the park has, but a coaster like diamondback or even a floorless would work well for the park. I know they made room for chang, so I can see a compact B&M or mega lite coaster fitting into the area somehow. I really like the park, it's one of my favorite parks. But it's missing a coaster that makes you say "WOW". Just my opinion.....

Maybe holiday world? I know they are closed durring the week.

Here is what they have.....

A few more pictures. Dorney park had this deal going on. Dorney park was packed. Balloon race. Dominator. Not the coaster, but the drop tower. Are we at cedarpoint? They have special seats for ace members. Now we are back at kings dominion. I hope they replace this soon. It was wet, but far from cold. We rode the scrambler in the rain. I would not recomend doing this. Yep, there used to be a log flume here. The park has several concerts here durring the summer. Behind the scenes look at the bobsled coaster. Noted... The racer. Anybody know where taco bell is? I think we took a wrong turn. A differant angle of volcano Why do people want to win the HUGE stuffed animals, is beyond me. fail (Medium).bmp And just because donkeys are so awsome, I included this.

Yea, just look how cozy the ride looks... Here is your first sign of a great ride. Togo trains deliver the finest ride experiance.

It's not going where flight commander was. Its going next to vortex. Look at the map here on the official site... http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/park/rides/thrill_rides/windseeker.cfm

How is it 4 hours between parks? I live north of detroit, and it only takes me 4 1/2 hours to get to kings island.

Sorry about the lack of updates, as I am in the process of moving and recovering from east coast bash. Here is a short update to show you that I have not forgot about this thread. I still have several boxes left to go thru, so stay tuned. First up is a statix model of millennium force. Leap the dips car plate. I can't remember where I got this six flags watch. It comes in a nice case. Paramounts Kings Islands christmas stocking. I have tons of older cedarpoint maps. Here is an older map that I have. It was before all the mega coasters were built. Jungle larry was still there, and giant wheel was still in the middle of the park. Looks a lot differant today. Kid arthers court and the aquariam. R.I.P white water landing Where did dragster go? I see jungle larry And I end this update with some cuddley geauga lake bears.

Nice pictures. Wow, she is almost as cute as her dad.

Sure... http://screamscape.com/html/six_flags_great_adventure.htm Go down about 3/4 of the page.

Screamscape says that there is a riddlers revenge train at great adventure now.

I have always heard that this is a park you must visit at night. I can see why in the pictures.

Kings Dominion already has a rock band show. I am curious to see what Michigans adventure is going to get. From what I hear, they are having a great year.

They did...It was called hard rock park.

I have searched for pictures of the ride, but all I can find is this video from the park....(go to the 5:55 mark to get to smurf mountain) Is a neat video with lot's of old park footage.

So the smurf ride was a coaster?

Now that I look at the rest of the stats, they are all wrong. Ha....I think they got coasters mixed up. Here are the real stats for the ride... http://www.rcdb.com/3183.htm And here is steel force... http://www.rcdb.com/276.htm I know they probaly use the same T shirt company, but a weird mix up none the less.

Yes...very odd.

Sure.... Here you go. Domo like El Toro. Here is the date in question.

Rob.... Will there be a west coast trip next year? There are a ton of parks out in Cali that we need to get to.

I have a question about El Toro. The last time I was at the park, I bought a El Toro T shirt. It has all the stats of the coaster on it, and then it says "EST 1997". I thought it was built in 2006?

Thank's. This was my first TPR event, and deffinetly not my last. I wish I had the chance to talk to more people, but with all the madness going on, I did not get much of a chance. Everyone I did talk to was really nice. I am going to try and do the west coast bash next year.

Anyways.... I have to say that I was impressed with 305. Even with the trims, I grayed out after the first drop every time I was on it. I don't like the trims on the first drop as the first drop of any tall coaster is my favorite part. But they are needed in this case. To be honest, I was not expecting much from this coaster, but was pleasantly surprised.

Be prepared for heavy crowds. Halloweekends, is probaly the busiest time of year at the park.
