WAIT YOUR TELLING ME THAT THE SEAT BELTS DID NOTHING TO THE RIDE?? Wait I heard that when they added them they also made the ride length shorter and the lift hill about 100 feet shorter. - I'm done. As mentioned earlier about making a segment on "fun tv", I really which amusement parks almost made it a tv channel. As an example: have extremely absurd instruction videos, have a pov, have a mini series come up, possible even throw in a park challenge or something (not the quizzes) Ok now that we have this seat belt crap fully discussed about the ride experience, can we please get back to the good stuff? Like how Banshee is awesome, or future park expansion, or the thoughts on the daily meal pass?

This belongs in one of those informercial "you're doing it wrong" segments, where they show people incapable of doing every day tasks. I want to see a re-enactment along these lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08xQLGWTSag Yes!! Can we please get this together? Talk to kings island about using it on their "fun tv" segments! Lol

Quoting this a third time. Humans have two hands, you know. Yes, the topic of my hatred of non retractable seat belts is over. Let's get on the topic of Kings Island, and not me and Diamondbacks seat belts. -amen! Who wants to start the speculation for 2015? Just Kidding!

I will admit that I am so glad they took our that old ride and replaced with this. Area is looking really nice!!

^ I agree with that. I bet they avoided it just so they don't have 5000 people asking the same thing. I feel for the ride ops. Being trained without then and then having them. Not for the fact they have more to do but the guest that are complaining about this change.

Hahaha love the report. But I can't get over the fact that you are the person I photo bombed that morning, your first two images! glad you had an amazing time!! It was a blast that is for sure!!

Just shot out a 10 dollar donation to your page. Wow!! That means so much!! Thank you!! I know I have overlooked or simply missed it, but when is the cut off date to raise money??

So excited to be joining for my first year!! Can't wait !!

Wow! Thank you for those photos! I want to make it to the park this year!! It is look great!!

I am glad to hear that it does not change the experience. Do the belts tighten uncomfortably? Or are they comfortable??

That would be awesome! I had the opportunity to goto the nyc parade and it was really cool. It was my first experience with Mermaids.

I agree, re-rides! I don't understand why a park will not all the train to be sent full. I am 99% of the time a single rider and it kills me to see the train have empty seats. Other items include: 1) smoking and acting like "I do what I want" (been stated before on here) 2) people who stand in the middle of a walk path! It kills me every time! I hate playing "dodge'm" 3) I agree with the stepping on the coaster seats. I don't know where you show has been, but I can guess it has been some where gross. 4) people not throwing away trash but decide to kick it and not pick it up! Come on! Let's help make the park clean! 5) guest that complain about every little thing. From height, loose articles, cost of things, and "not what they wanted" are just examples of many. Finally: 6) people that don't know what they want to order when they had all the time in line to decide (this is everywhere)

I enjoyed this video. It added another aspect of a TR! It has already been mentioned about the speed of the slides, what I was thinking would make a part 1, part 2, etc. videos. Obviously not doing 600 parts to a video, but maybe 2 or 3 part video. The combination of slides, video, and music make it a very personal experience when watching and personally I grabs my attention more. Honestly it makes me want to visit the place if don't correctly. Overall the idea is there, work on the captions (keep the short), and that should make this more desirable.

I have to many bands but here is what I have been listening to lately 1) MCR 2) Cake 3) Avenged Sevenfold 4) My Darkest Days 5) TMBG

I need to have a little rant on one thing! There seems to be this fight with coaster enthusiasts on which club they belong to. I am tired of people bashing Club TPR because of some lame reason. If you have your reason, that is great! Congratulations I don't care why you hate :insert club name here:! (Unless there is a safety hazard or some illegal stuff going on). We are all enthusiast, why can't we all get along! I hate it when I go somewhere where there are other enthusiast and all they do is bash a club. I don't care which group you are apart of, I support your decision in advancing your desire for coasters!! I love meeting other people from other clubs! It is another benefit! I hope this never gets ruined for me!!

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing. Curious have you every been to the mermaid parade at Coney Island in NYC??

I finally have something that shocked me to no end. While I was in line for Banshee on media day, there were two young girls who stated to her friend that they opened up Bat and Delirium because they wanted to make sure nothing would be "in the way" of Banshee for opening day. I am still shocked that they believe this or even said it. Lol

On the flipside, we have tiny little indie gaming companies making what I feel is some of the best games of the 21st century, Pantera and TPS included. First, that is why flappy bird developer removed his app. He was upset by its popularity. So I agree that "we have done this to ourselves" but we need developers to stop thinking about money and thinking about the art of developing. Second, I agree the indie market is becoming big!! I love "Sometimes you die", "A Dark Room" and many others!

I would say that theme is up there. The lighting package is amazing at night. The fog machines are beyond cool. The theming in the cue is awesome! This is the best theming I have seen cedar fair do in a long time!! Is it a Disney? No, but it is a start for cedar fair. The ride experience is amazing fun, exciting, and thrilling For me this is my favorite invert, and a coaster that is now in my top 10 by far!! It I close to be a top 5 but I have to reride some rides to know for sure.

Welcome! So glad to see that someone helped you and your daughter out! It is thrilling to see that you have a strong passion for roller coasters!! It is very exciting to me to see that someone taught you everything about TPR and you joined because of it! GLAD to have you on board!!

I really think this is a poor argument, because how far does $240 go for a family road trip, barely covers two nights in a decent hotel. We went to Chicago for a long weekend last year to go to SFGA and probably spent $1000 and that was without park admission since we have SF passes. I don't think it is that poor of an argument. It is showing that a family will start saving and traveling to different parks if their home park starts to leave them in the dust (not saying this is happening to SFSTL it is just a statement). Instead of buying 4 season passes to SFSTL they use that money to go to a "memorable" park that the family can talk about for years to come. For me that was a Cedar Point trip for other it is Disney or other parks.

I tested the system out last year just to see how "good" and much "worth" there was. I was pleased to say that I got the fast lane (not plus) and rode every ride as many times as I wanted but my main focus was diamondback were I was Marathoning for a few hours and got 97 rides in that day! After that day I love the system and will use it again! 97 rides? Wow that's impressive! That's like 5 hours without getting off! Must have not too crowded to get that many rides with fast lane. It was not an opening day crowd, but FOF that day was about 1hour 15. That was the reason I got it. Being a single rider, they would direct me where ever to fill the seat. They did make me walk around (need some exercise ha). If I remember diamondback was about a 30-45 min wait.

If I am there for photos: my camera with battery backups, SD cards. If it is just a trip to ride: care keys with no key chains, wallet, iphone, sun glasses. That is it.
