Ape

Please let this be open on Tuesday!

WOOHOO! Bill post a picture of you dying a little bit inside.

so many people crapping on the name a size of the ride. that's cool if you don't like it but I personally like what they are doing and can't wait to see what the other announcement is and what is inside the shed. I am failing to see why Mystic Timbers is a bad name. I also see a good speed wooden coaster that hugs the terrain in a somewhat secluded area with a bunch of pops of airtime from a company that has been known to deliver a quality product. I would have preferred an RMC as well as most of you however I am a lot more happy that this isn't just another B&M (unless it happened to be Fury 2.0)

I will be there tonight for the announcement, whats even better is with all the rain today within a few hours there i should be able to get a lot in with minimal crowds.

I have been loving how much good this game has been doing. I have a friend that is a bit of a recluse and has social anxieties especially when it comes to the opposite sex. He never likes to exercise or anything. This game has kind of broken him out of that he has been walking a lot every day and meeting up with groups to do hunts. I get frustrated with the people crapping on the game because it actually is getting people out walking and socializing.

I have been to Dollywood before and love the park. I will be there in about a month, however if I hear LR is down or going to be down while I am in the area I will not be going. I also will not be complaining about it, I'll save the money for another trip instead. Not everyone has the same set of goals or are willing to front the money if the reason they want to go is not going to be open. With that said though, I would much rather this ride see downtime all summer and have them eventually get it worked out over having them install another run of the mill B&M (yes i know there are standouts, most I find pretty average though) to each his own.

I disagree... http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/warren-county/mason-community/kings-island-new-ride-is-a-new-wooden-roller-coaster-coming-to-kings-island

I was too busy enjoying my day at the park to notice any excessive noise.

Lightning Rod is open. all you need to know, have fun.

yeah it does, whiny enthusiasts who are forced to wait an extra 30 seconds may melt.

aww poor you having to sit on a brake run for an extra 30 seconds.

Name one time when the test seat was a GO but the ride was a NOGO. (and not when you had people smash the restraints for you) They may turn away faster, but if the test said GO then you won't have issues. It's the NOGOs that try anyway that spend 5 minutes trying to get a GO on the ride and end up with an uncomfortable experience. If someone want to test the limits, do it when not busy. But honestly, I've seldom seen big guys use the test seats. Normally it's kids or females. So sorry to slow down your day in your perfect world. What I am saying is I have had the test seat tell me I was too big when I was able to fit so I don't use them anymore.

I was at 277 in april for the last several years I have floated in the mid 260's. this is changing though as I have started running a minimum of two miles every other day. That will increase as I get better. I never bothered with the test seats as I found out early on that every time I tried one out I wouldn't fit but I would be good to go when it came to the actual ride. The only things I don't fit on are Drop Tower at Kings Island and Wicked Twister at Cedar Point. TL:DR test seats lie.

I have a whole new take on water parks after visiting this one.

I have never paid attention to if they sell alcohol as I very rarely drink.

On a cell with bad service and my work desktop both worked fine running the video and it looked good.

I hope it happens because like the enjoyment Bill gets out of watching enthusiasts cry about Mean Streak, I get enjoyment out of watching the crying that happens every year Kings Dominion doesn't get a new coaster from their fanboys. If it happens this would just help amplify those whiners.

I can agree to that. My wife does not like water parks much at all but she loved Splashin' Safari.

Yes you can rent them ahead of time and you can select which one specifically you would want. If you're a non smoker I would avoid the ones next to the wave pool near the entrance of Splashin' Safari. We opted to wait until day of because you never know if these trips will get cancelled while dealing with a kids. Wildebeest has been fixed.

It would be on my phone more if I didn't have a work computer which I usually use during break times to browse. I also am not a huge fan of browsing this forum on my phone. I do watch most of the videos through my phone though but it is not enough to outweigh the browsing on the forum through the computer.

Vortex is probably the only stand up I have rode in recent years that I enjoyed.

It has a refrigerator that has 8 bottles of water already stocked in it. these ended up being nice to have instead of drinking soda the whole time and water out of a small cup. The only other thing you can't see in the picture is a pretty large lockable cabinet. We were able to fit multiple backpacks/bags in it and a baby car seat/carrier. It felt like a hefty price but with it being split between the two couple it wasn't bad especially since we each had a young baby with us. Having the space and shade was a must.

Thank you sir, I am already trying to figure out if I can make it back for the water park this season.
