That's really heartbreaking, he had so much passion for his work and truly wanted to have a positive impact at the parks he worked for. It's a big loss, and my heart goes out to those close to him. RIP Josh.

I'm not used to Indiana Beach making reasonable, popular decisions. 2020 is truly the craziest year...

No, speed limit is 3mph per their website. Still faster than Lightning Rod currently, though.

I think it may be a Busch thing, too. The only versions of the Sky Rocket model I see with collars are the ones installed at Busch / Seaworld parks. Phobia up at Lake Compounce operates without the collars, and two installations over in China from a couple years ago also don't operate with them. Either way, having ridden models both with and without the collars, I also don't get them as they seemingly serve no purpose aside from the lower insurance costs rumor that keeps getting bantered about.

That actually looks pretty cool, and definitely a unique experience - not every day can someone say they got to drive through an amusement park. It's still priced outside of what I'd spend, but I'm sure it'll still draw decent attendance. I applaud the park for making lemonade out of lemons.

I somehow completely missed that this was going to be a more compact model of the Free Spin. I like the look, and I agree that it looks like the more noticeable drops, dips, and tighter curves may mean for a more intense experience than some of the other models.

I'm a sucker for the Zelda series, so I downloaded the demo for the upcoming Hyrule Warriors game in preparation of its upcoming release and plowed through that in an evening. I'm also going to cancel one of my other subscriptions so I can instead get access to Nintendo Online and the online free library of many old school NES and SNES games.

I went there years ago when in AC for Wheel of Fortune tryouts. I encountered the same single rider issue, but fortunately there was a group of two behind me who didn't mind me on the other side. I also remember it spinning like crazy, too! Didn't realize it was a prototype, that's kinda cool, I guess.

Glad I rode these back when I visited a few years ago. Knoebels seems like a natural fit, but we'll see what ends up happening.

About yea much, give or take.

I give them props for getting a unique flat ride, but the experience is ruined by an absolutely awful loading procedure and the insistence on running one of the most neutered program cycles I've ever seen. Guests have caught on, too, causing it to never having a line longer than maybe two cycles, if that. Nice try, but definitely a failed experiment, hampered more by Six Flags than the ride manufacturer.

First year in the new house, so wasn't sure what to expect. We followed proper protocols and set up a table outside with candy pieces separated so people could pick and choose without shoving their hands into a gross community bowl. I was setting up a new desk in my office by the front door, so I was planning on restocking as people would come by. Didn't have one trick-or-treater though. I saw a few out, but I suspect they only went to their neighbors and people in the neighborhood they were already familiar with to minimize contact. Oh well, more candy for me.

Old school Enterprises were/are split seating, too. Usually you managed to avoid any awkward encounters with strangers, but when I was younger I was getting ready for a solo ride in a car on a busy day when the ride op asked if if this other young man (similar in age, if I had to guess) could ride with me, and before I could even mentally start calculating the ramifications, he was in the car in front of me and we started moving. I think he understood the awkwardness, too, and was trying to lean forward and pull himself towards the front of the car more during the ride. Still, definitely couldn't wait for THAT ride to be over.

If you want the Cincinnati chili experience but want to do something a little less "chain-y" like Skyline, go to Blue Ash Chili. Their Mason location is literally around the corner from Kings Island. We ate there last time we were through and were deeply satisfied. Recommendations: 6-Way, chili lasagna (trust me), and if they still have it, the Chili Philly (chili-covered Philly cheesesteak), but I didn't see it on the menu anymore just now.

One underrated update that I'm LOVING is the new "Expand" option for quotes within posts. Gone are the days of having to scroll past huge quote dumps in order to get to the new comment. Makes it flow so much better!
I'm really loving the updates!

Still rocking an iPhone 7. Works just fine and accomplishes what I need on a daily basis, so no real reason to upgrade anytime soon.

These are a boatload of fun and would be a perfect addition to Silverwood! Great news!

I've always been more of a Nintendo guy, and am currently working my way through Super Mario Odyssey. It's a lot of fun, but I don't know if I'd put it on the same level as other 3D Marios like 64 or Galaxy. I'm also playing Overcooked 2 with the wife and am really digging it. It's cute, challenging in the right ways, and I really dig the multiplayer aspect. I'm trying to get my sister and brother hooked on it so we can all play together.

^If they do go that route, I doubt they'd go as far as retracking the entire ride a la Nor'Easter. If they even do anything, it's most likely they pull a SFNE and just give it a paint job and new trains.

So does this mean that KK needs to rename this Raging Eunuch River Ride?

The creation of this thread is a perfect example of the annoying entitled enthusiast mentality.

The new entrance was one of those "had to be done" things. I'm sure over time the new entrance will fill out a bit.
