Does the coaster have a traditional lift?

Is the ride made by Intamin?

Awesome!

OPTIMUS REIM!

Best bumper cars evar! Not to mention that epic night of ERT! I never thought I would ever be able to do something like that on a coaster, but Knoebels is just that awesome! Even in the rain, Knoebel's runs everything, and if anything the rain made Phoenix that much better for ERT. Amazing food, and everything is so reasonably priced too. If you haven't been there yet, it's a must.

^^Things are never dull with Piers.

A friend of mine was at the park today. He texted me saying that Behemoth had vallied, and that they were in the process of removing the train with a crane. Wish the ops would have just told me that rather than that useless, "It could possibly open later but we can't guarantee it."

Behemoth, Drop Tower and Windseeker were all down today because of....wait for it...wind. It was pretty windy mind you, and for something like Windseeker, despite it's name, I could see the problem. They managed to get some testing in on Windseeker but wasn't open when I left. Behemoth had a train at the top of the lift and it sat there all day. I also noticed CW was selling "Fright Lane" tickets for front of the line access for all haunt mazes. They were like 20 bucks.

I want Lombardi's so bad now.

^It is normal these days, and that kinda sucks.

^ It's kinda weird, but I guess it's not really a big deal. They could repaint over it.

Nice TR Doug. Cuda Falls looks really good with it's new colors. Predator being almost bearable is still an improvement. Still the worst ride I've ever had.

Good times! I love how we crammed like 6 adults and a toddler into the Wonder Wheel! Despite this, Coney Island really looked cleaned up....

3rd time the Charm?

^It was definitely a bit glitchy.

I just missed to the left! The cross-hairs are crap. Wish I had another shot at it.

My number just jumped from 52 to 15. I'm almost there!

^^Yeah, it's kinda glitchy.

Same chick. They just switched her up. I've been calling every shot. I can't wait for my turn! Edit: Looks like people are starting to figure it out!

Yeah, I saw that. I'm trying to get the aim down by watching.

I got 213 in front of me right now. Anyone get a shot yet?

Kings Island is definitely a nice looking park. The new fast lane system worked very well. Firehawk was a huge surprise and it was definitely way better than Ultimate Flight. I was glad to finally be able to get a chance to ride The Beast. It's definitely high on every coaster geeks list of must ride coasters. I have to say I was disappointed with Diamondback though. I didn't get much air at all, even in the back seat. It was definitely trimmed really hard, at least on the rides I had. The splashdown at the end is really cool, but overall Nitro and Behemoth beat it easily.

RIP Ron Toomer.

Arrow coasters may not be the the most comfortable but Toomer definitely pushed the envelope at the time and he helped us get to where we are today.
