This park was beautiful! I plan on getting back up there eventually so I can get the credits. It was not fun sitting around the whole time being sick! At least Nicole was there and tried to comfort me - I will always remember that

I LOVE Fast Lane at Cedar Fair parks!!!!!! Way better than the Q-Bot that Six Flags has. I HATE having to remember times and all. I think they all should just use the Fast Lane option and just limit how many they sell every day. I wish at least all coasters were included in it. For the amount you pay they could at least offer that. At least when I got it at KI only one coaster was not included - Flight Deck.

OK, so I have FINALLY been to Kings Island... Finally back from Kings Island! Oh wow this park is such a nice beautiful well taken care of park. The staff was very nice and actually acted like they cared. I know I am going to get crap for this but I was not that impressed with the Beast during the day. However, at night it was AWESOME! The stand out coasters for me were Vortex (again I will probably get crap for that) and Flight Deck. I LOVE Arrow coasters and most of them have awesome architecture. I did not go through dinosaurs alive however I did the 3D dinosaur show which was really well done. The fast lane option really helped - most of the coasters had at least an hour wait all day and we got the entire park (minus the water park) finished twice on a Saturday. So now I know I can go to a Cedar Fair park on a weekend and still have a blast. I wish you could use the Fast Lane on Flight Deck and the river rapids rides though - but them lines went kinda fast. I know this is for crowd control but I hate how they do not fill the stations with people. Just something about that annoys me. To me it makes the line appear longer than it is. Also on some of the coasters you could not choose your seat - they told you where to go but at only certain times of the day. But as long as I ask I was able to sit where I wanted. Also I did not like that Firehawk was the ONLY coaster you HAVE to buy a locker for. I know most enthusiast do not carry a book bag but I always do when I go a park so it was nice not having to a buy a locker all day for the other coasters. They had a $5 special for the Sky Coaster which I was able to take advantage of as well as a $10 special on the Sling Shot. I LOVE the Sling Shot ride and always try to ride it wherever I go. For the amount of people that go to this park they could use a lot more water slides in the water park. It was very crowded and I did not get on any. I do like how they have the large grassy area where people lay out their beach towels and leave their things. Wind Seeker is officially the scariest ride I have ever ridden. I think it is because they are so high and I feel like there is nothing holding you in. The walls of it are so low and your legs are dangling away. Once it got to the mid point I told my friend I really wanted to get off (and I have NEVER wanted to get off a ride because I was so scared) but of course I couldn't.

Awesome reports!!! I need to just travel more like you to parks. You inspire me to want to travel on my own to parks.

Awesome pics! I would travel for a coaster like that - as long there are other parks along the way hehe

Yes, I am kinda obsessed with Pepsi and RC Cola Do you still buy CDs? (I know most people buy all digital now)

I think it is amazing that we have almost hit $25,000.00!!!! I am so proud of TPR right now!!! I can not wait till the 10th!!!!!

The weather was perfect that day!!! It as not too hot at all. That beach was awesome - a lot better than the beach here in MD.

WOW that looks beautiful! Can not wait to see it built.

Looks like a nice park!

I would not skip Fahrenheit! I love that coaster. Yes, the capacity is low but try to get there early or go back right before the park closes and jump in line.

^ I agree!!!

Awesome pics! Just makes me more excited for this year!! I love that group shot of you, Laurie, and I!

Awesome pics! Looks like it was a good day. I love Malibu and Coke too hehe.

A path would be great! For me its just something about when a park does not go in a circle.

Some more of mine: The Banger Sisters Heatbreakers P2

No, but I wish. Do you like going to the beach?

^ I LOVE Kennywood!!!! I wish I would have went for two days when I went up there. Hopefully I get to revisit very soon!

^ Have fun! Kings Island this weekend for two full days! Can not wait for my first time there.

^ I like when I go to parks and I see pieces of rides that used to be there. I don't know. Something about it just feels nostalgic.

Anyone else planning on being there on June 7th for opening day of Apocalypse? I will be there!

WOW!!!!! They got all of that finished FAST!!!!!!! I was just there on May 11th and the Scrambler was in pieces and sky screamer area did not look ANYWHERE near done yet. I am proud of this park for turning it all around so fast!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I had the time off and money to travel like this!!!

I could not agree more with you here. I have based my feelings on the park on how I was treated or how my family was treated. I have seen a difference in the past two seasons. Just like any park you are going to have your bad seeds. That is why I go to Knoebels EVERY summer even though they get nothing new. Their customer service is amazing and well the bumper cars there are pretty amazing too hehe. If I lived near Dollywood I would go every season more than once simply because you are treated so well there.

^ Great idea!
