Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
ytterbiumanalyst replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm quite a fan of both rides. I think honestly you'll probably like Diamondback a little better. They're very different rides, and are excellent for different reasons. Diamondback does the classic roller coaster stuff to perfection. Skyrush will change your expectations of what a roller coaster can do. But what's really important is that both parks have a beer man. -

Awesome! Well, this certainly elevates this from a ride I figured would be similar to Dark Knight to a ride I think I'll quite enjoy. Seems like I underestimated it. -

The real question is how jealous are you going to be when I'm on the first train of the year in the new seats it's pretty much equal to being the first rider opening year who cares about credits it's about the first train of the day and the last train of the day -

Intamin giga. Specifically Millennium Force. That ride rocks. Larry or Moe?

The real question is how many new credits to count Diamondback with black seats. Are they all the same shade of black, or are there some blacker blacks than could provide a substantially different ride experience and therefore be another credit? I think to be safe, we should count this as 32 new credits. -

Yeah, I've heard about the line, so I'm already planning to ride that one first. That's exciting about the theming though. Good theming always makes any ride more fun. -

Very good video, thanks for sharing! PKI Jizzman, I'm surprised to hear such praise for Exterminator. Usually people talk a lot about Phantom and the older coasters but not that one. I am a fan of very highly themed rides, so that excites me, but otherwise I hear it's really just a wild mouse. What makes Exterminator so good? -

Ah, that's disappointing. Better not to expect it though. I'll be there Sunday June 3, and since that's a slow day for pretty much every park, sounds like there's zero chance then. Thanks for good info though. -

There is a Skyride in the parking lot. Okay, so I was tooling around on Google Maps today (Thursday is my Friday and I'm mostly done for the week, yay), and I saw the most beautiful thing. So it looks like I can only get there from the furthest parking lot. If I get to the park early, can I just choose to park back there? Would they make me wait until the closer lots fill first? Basically, how do I ride this Skyride? -
Why compromise? The Hershey Tower does both! Timber Mountain Log Ride or Splash Mountain?

Skyrush Intamin at Hersheypark. 5. El Toro Intamin at SFGAdv. 6. Voyage GG at HW. 7. Magnum XL-200 Arrow at CP. 8. Maverick Intamin at CP. 9. Diamondback B&M at KI. 10. Mystery Mine Gerstlauer at Dollywood. 11. Space Mountain DynamicAttractions at Disneyland. 12. Thunderbird B&M at HW. 13. Twisted Colossus RMC at SFMM. 14. Lightning Run Chance at KK. 15. Storm Chaser RMC at KK. 16. Twister Knoebels at Knoebels. 17. Goliath RMC at SFGAm. 18. Valravn B&M at CP. 19. X-Flight B&M at SFGAm. 20. Wild Eagle B&M at Dollywood. 21. Gatekeeper B&M at CP. 22. Tatsu B&M at SFMM. 23. Lightning Racer GCI at Hersheypark. 24. Shivering Timbers CCI at MIA. 25. GhostRider CCI at Knotts. 26. Comet PTC at Hersheypark. 27. Fahrenheit Intamin at Hersheypark. 28. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad DynamicAttractions at Disneyland. 29. Beast Dinn at KI. 30. Flying Turns Knoebels at Knoebels. 31. Revenge of the Mummy The Ride Premier at USH. 32. Flight of Fear Premier at KI. 33. Monster Gerstlauer at AdvLandIowa. 34. Nitro B&M at SFGAdv. 35. Xcelerator Intamin at Knotts. 36. Storm Runner Intamin at Hersheypark. 37. Montezooma's Revenge Schwarzkopf at Knotts. 38. Top Thrill Dragster Intamin at CP. 39. Kingda Ka Intamin at SFGAdv. 40. Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast Premier at SFSTL. 41. Raptor B&M at CP. 42. Tennessee Tornado Arrow at Dollywood. 43. Ninja Arrow at SFMM. 44. Cornball Express CCI at IB. 45. Great White CCI at Moreys. 46. SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge Gerstlauer at MOA. 47. Screamin' Eagle PTC at SFSTL. 48. Cannon Ball PTC at LakeWinnie. 49. Superman Krypton Coaster B&M at SFFT. 50. Wildfire B&M at SDC. And the bottom 10, all of which can die in a fire. 162. Corkscrew Arrow at VF. 163. Corkscrew Arrow at MIA. 164. Corkscrew Arrow at CP. 165. Boomerang Vekoma at WOF. 166. Boomerang Vekoma at SFSTL. 167. Sidewinder Vekoma at Hersheypark. 168. Sea Serpent Vekoma at Moreys. 169. Diamond Back Arrow at FC. 170. Ninja Arrow at SFSTL. 171. T3 Vekoma at KK. One interesting thing I found from this venture is how little junk I've been on. My actual count is 232, and about 30 of those are defunct coasters. With the 171 on this list, that means I've only been on about 30 junk coasters. I'm sure most of those are children's coasters I rode either as a child or with my children, as I nearly always skip them otherwise (except you, Kozmo's Curves, you're all right).

All those things are working for me, thanks! A bug has appeared, though, after scrolling up while dragging a coaster, once I drop it into place, it sometimes keeps scrolling up indefinitely. Even if I scroll down, it keeps automatically scrolling up. Even if it gets to the top, when I scroll down again, it resumes scrolling up. The only way to fix it is to refresh the page. Also, Spongebob at Nick Universe is listed as an RMC; should be Gerstlauer.

Going to Cedar Point is awesome, but I don't think you should leave your house just yet. -
