Especially if you are now going to buy the fastpass since you won't have as much time in the park.
It is a great park with this being my top five.
1. Goliath
2. Mindbender
3. GA Cyclone
4. GASM
5. Monster Plantation

I find it funny on these things that people are always upset that it won't be family run anymore. that family is the one who choose to sell the park, it is not like the company forced KW to sell, they choose to sell and seeing that they did that they are no different then anyone else. It came down to the money.

Seatbelts on raft rides are freaking stupid anyway. If anything they make them less safe in case of a freak accident. Give me Europeon raft rides anyday.
-
MTO is a hole and I guess i didn't realize how lucky we were last year at SFA.
-
Cedar Point because they used to me so good and now they just typlify what is wrong with American park. Triple checks, belts, bars, seat dividers and holding trains way too long.
Drayton Manor because they can turn a rainy light crowd day into a que line frenzy.

New park, new credit.

I think the only debate is what should KI's '09 slogan be?
"Come to KI....we suck just a little less now."
or
"King's Island....not just a credit run anymore.....sort of."
"Kings Island ride it before we ruin it like the Beast"
This ride will probably get me back to KI in the next 5 years, but I will be stunned if I go next year. Heck, after my field trip with my student to Michigan's Adventure I am going to see how long I can go before visiting another CF park.

^I totally agree and I can't stand Kobe. They both had great seasons and are the number one reason their teams are still in the playoffs. Always remember the NBA MVP race always has other things involved, they used to come up with all types of reasons why Jordan shouldn't have won it every year.

As slow as that skyride is I am surprised you are not still on it. We stopped by there last year and had a great time. It's a nice little park, though a little bit expensive. Great TR Nicole.
-
I personally like the new skyride, though I don't think it looks anything like CP. The game buildings I am not totally sold on, they are very basic looking. I am excited to visit once Steel Hawg is done.
-
Very funny with some great pictures at what seems like a really neat event. Nice job.
-
I have never rode a B&M hyper that is not in my top 20, so they can pretty much stick to their formula and I will still end of back at one of my least favorite parks on the planet. At least KI has chilli dogs.
-
^Because a huge selling point of the Giant versions of these rides was the increased capacity. Either way I have been on so many that unless they are themed or hose me down with water they are not worth my time.
-
Wow, this one may restore our faith in Cedar Fair, at least occasionally, to do the right thing. Instead of just slapping on a new sign, they saw it as an opportunity to improve upon the ride. Amazing!
So let me see if I am right on this, and if I am wrong feel free to call me on it since I have not been to KI since last Spring. The crypt still has this creepy scary feel up until the actual ride, which seems like a good idea. Then you get into the main part and it is just an open room playing techno musice, so the theming up til then has no payoff. Then they reduce the capacity which is why they can run it more intense, or like most parks run this ride to begin with and somehow this will restore our faith in Cedar Fair. Unless I am missing something it just sounds almost exactly what I would expect from CF.

^Nicole I was offended by your updated post, so I guess you just can't win.
-
Because you love the Ultimate so your view is obviously wrong.
-
Nice photos. I got in one or two rides on shoot the rapids it was awesome, I miss when CP had flumes.
-
Predator is the worst wooden coaster I have been on and the next closest is still twice as good. It was a combination of being rough and being massively boring. Huge dissapointment. I also have had no problem on any arrow after I started taking the front seat in any car. Once I got rid of the leg room problem I am able to ride pain free, especially if the don't staple me down. I will say as a generalization a lot of people seem to have No tolerance for any form of roughness. there are some coasters aon this site that I could ride for hours and people are talking about how rough they are.
-
I had no problems with the "EVIL locker MONEY making machine" that some people claim it to be. Stuff in my pockets no questions asked, my wife even had a small hip sack type thing that they never mentioned either. Cyclone was still awesome and I just ride all coasters in back. As for flash passes i have never gotten them at any park unless I am with the Alveys. If you are going to be there all day you should be ok. Monster plantation is a must and have a great day. It is definately my favorite SF park.

^^ that is why he said to call first. If you call and talk to someone in guest services they would inform you if the park is reserved. In all my trips to parks this has happened to me ONCE. Then we bought extra tickets from the motorola people, they also gave us food vouchers and we spent all day waiting in 5 minute long lines at SFGAM. It was the best day I ever had at the park. This is not so big of a deal that this discussion should still be going on. It is important for parks to make money and if this work's for them keep it up.

My Top Five are
MF
Max Air
Maverick
Johnny Rockets
And the guy who reads the scary stories at Halloweekends.

^Six Flags gives out free water along with every park I have ever asked for other then Canobie Lake.
Why would drop zone be down because of a different ride at a rival chain? That is CF fault, they made the choice.
TR rethemed, changing a name is not retheming, unless I am missing something here.
I did feel that KI was ran a little better on my visit, but it also wasn't a busy day, and i do feel that the park will eventually run better, but look a lot worse.

Mel and I have seen the flaming car on the side of the road thing twice now in our travels. Always an interesting site.
Great Adventure or Cedar point
in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

GADV and for me it is not even close. GADV is a nicer looking park with the addition of the 2 new areas. GADV has a flume, the food at both places is not good, and I personally think the flats are a wash, because the 2 good ones CP has either are down or run 1/2 capacity. For flats I wouldn't go to either park.
Even if you go just coasters, no other factor, no bias on location here is what I have.
1. El Toro
2. Nitro
3. MF
4. Maverick
5. Medusa
6. Raptor
7. Superman
8. Blue Streak
9. By now for either park I am not that excited.
