I agree with that. -

I rode I305 6 times in a few hours. I have been to Cedar Point 100 times or so in 13 years and I have been on their Intamins many many times. even more than their B&M's. You're welcome to think what you want but i'll continue to enjoy the Intamins. I feel i also should note that dominator was broke down more than I305 when i was there. -

For me personally i would rather deal with a ride that breaks down more frequently in exchange for a more intense unique ride. Parks don't look at it that way but i do. -

I hope your experience is better than mine. I had very fond memories of its sister at Kings Island. Those memories are all now ruined because of how much i hated my ride on Shockwave last month. -

Well i came to the park for the kind people and to take part in Coasting for Kids. There is also the part where i don't let a support color ruin my experience (see signature). I merely stated my opinion on my dislike of the colors. Colors don't affect the forces, speed, or layout. -

I can't stand red and yellow together not to mention yellow makes no sense with the Intimidator theme. -

Popularity fell off a little when the economy started to tank. tickets and merch are not cheap. that with Jimmie Johnson winning five years in a row turned people away. It is starting to fill back up. I personally love the Intimidator theme and think it should remain that way. Though it was dumb to paint the supports yellow in my opinion. -

^That's awesome. she has been all around the world and still prefers the little park in Indiana. I look forward to these type of conversations with my kids. -
I saved a turtle that was on the road. My wife wanted a picture. I was happy to save him. he seemed happy as well.

It's sad they have gotten that bad. Before Banshee came along the Diamondback crew would do an excellent job and a mostly full queue would go by quick. -

We rode it five times and i didnt think it was that rough. In fact on my three rides in the back row i think it may have been the smoothest ride on any coaster i have ever had. i was pretty shocked. -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
Ape replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I only rode one coaster. at Kings Island yesterday as my wife is pregnant and my son is just shy of two, but i made it a good one. Such a good ride. -

The Intimidator operations sucked last year as well. in a 15 minute long line it was easily doubled by them leaving several seats open on each train. We would watch trains roll out with only half of the seats filled. It was pretty ridiculous. -

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
Ape replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Are you or are you not allowed to tell us what it is? To everyone that is claiming I dont know, it has already been confirmed by multiple people i have asked. i am not aloud to say anything until they announce it (August or septemeber maybe) but i will say this. It's best not to say anything whether what you know is true or not if you're not allowed or willing to share. It just makes you look bad. Either tell people or leave it be, don't try and justify it. Just to be clear i don't care either way if you share, just letting you know it's kind of a lose lose situation you put yourself in. -

I grew up riding Vortex. I rode Anaconda once and think i actually like it more that Vortex. It beat me up much less. -

I'm pretty sure after over hearing many people say I305 was too much for them at Kings Dominion they would welcome an in-between coaster like a hyper.
