Thanks for the pics, and nice job on the TR. Make...it...stop...now!!! lol

I would rather wait till next year to vote, when I have a few more Cedar Fair parks under my belt. ...therefore my vote goes in the "I don't know" column.

Oh come on, what about the hyper coaster rumor.

You're not alone, I'm not a fan of EPCOT either. IMO, it's just not worth the gate price. When I last went it was dirty, boring, and a few of the rides felt very outdated.

How about the dog fart coaster. Heck, we already have Underdog coming out, so we could have a dog whose special power is farting on criminals. ..or you could take it one step further and his master could be Fartman, played by Howard Stern of course.

Glad to hear they finally have an opening date announced.

Wow, a quarter of a billion dollars is a low budget. I hate to see what you consider moderate or high budget.

I voted for Jaws, but it's real close. I have Jaws #3 and Jurassic #4 on my favorite movie list.

Wow, that's an awful lot to do in just a few days. I'm not saying you can't do it, but you better bring your running shoes and a good game plan. ...just a thought, you might be better off doing Seaworld on the 15th and using all day on the 14th to visit IOA and USF.

Nice, looks like quite a bit has been done since I drove by last month. Thanks for the pics.

I don't know how I missed your thread, since it never gets old looking at pics of my favorite park. Great job and thanks for the TR.

You have some very nice pictures there, great job and thanks for TR.

^^Kings Island just needs a good coaster, period.

Looks good on paper, but I'm wondering how they will incorporate into the park. Still at least IOA is finally getting something new, not counting The High in the Sky Trolley.

Troy looks great. It reminds me more of a bigger Ozark Wildcat than Thunderhead though.

Hopefully it will be open by 2009. Just kidding, it's coming along nicely. ...a little slow but it's coming along.

^You're not the only one, I enjoy Gwazi too. I find it to be fun in the morning, but gets rough as the day goes on. Oh and keep up the good work with the weight loss, and you'll be ridding El Toro, AC, Nitro, etc. in no time.

Just saw Pirates 3. A lot of people have been saying it wasn't as good as the first two, that it was too long, etc. ...I actually really enjoyed it and thought it moved along quicker than LOTR, but maybe that's just me. True there wasn't as much action as you would have liked, but I thought the story was good enough to keep you entertained. I give it a 9/10, the same as Spiderman 3. ...and as a whole(all three movies), it's definitely in my top 10 favorites.

...movie ticket to Pirates this morning- $6.50

^Very true, Spidey also had the advantage back in 2002 when it came out a week before Star Wars:Episode II. Of course it was the better movie at the time, but it was much easier to bring in the big bucks when they didn't have to compete with another big movie.

From what I've heard the middle day of a three day weekend is usually the most crowded.

Yea, I think I'll wait till September myself. ...and then Dollywood in October.

^ ...and BGE has Water Country USA.

IMO, the best queue lines are Dueling Dragons and ROTM@USF.
