They're not even close to as loud as Flying Dutchmans. I can't hear myself think on Firehawk at KI's lift hill.

That's not airtime. That's jam-my-knees-into-the-lap-bar time.

Well, they were good for recreating the original Bat if nothing else.

I find this whole "which park is getting a coaster in 2017" thing very amusing. Cedar Fair parks act generally independent of one another when it comes as to what one adds or removes. A park getting a coaster doesn't mean another will or won't, and it certainly doesn't mean one "stole" it from another. Take a step back and look at what you're saying sometimes. It sounds ridiculous. All of these parks work on multi-year plans, carefully crafted for the absolute best ROI they can manage while still adding incremental attractions to keep guests happy. Here's what we do know: Cedar Point is very very very likely getting a new roller coaster in 2016. And that's it.

Obviously not my photo but the control board for The Beast: and another one, Backlot Stunt Coaster at KI: The old Scooby's Ghoster Coaster panel: and a storage panel for Flight of Fear:

I enter my ridden coasters into the Coaster Count site because I like knowing which ones I have and haven't ridden, not for the count.

What does that make Wildwater Kingdom?

A playable demo of this will be at PAX next weekend. Let's hope it doesn't disappoint.

Who gets another coaster first, KI or WOF?

That depends. How much do you enjoy Flying Scooters?

Wow. Good addition to KD.

Worlds of Fun: What flees Knott's eventually lands here.

It hasn't been used in years.

Either they're trolling or something is going on with The Racer.

The picture they used...

2016 announcement tomorrow at 2PM.

Anybody got any room in their yard? http://www.italintl.com/detail_page.php?record_id=1945

The first death at the park as far as any records show, yes.

Seeing on Twitter that Raptor has re-opened.

Autopsy could reveal if he had some sort of underlying medical condition that caused him to mentally lapse and go into the ride area. You never know.

The cameras are online. None of them are pointing at Raptor, obviously. One pointed at the midway in front of it though. http://pixelcaster.com/live/cedarpoint/index.html http://pixelcaster.com/live/cedarpoint/index2.html http://pixelcaster.com/live/cedarpoint/index3.html

According to KIFansite, one of The Bat's trains appears to be out of commission. Was put on the transfer track yesterday and now entirely removed today. https://www.facebook.com/KingsIslandFansite/posts/544312659049775

I made a video so you can see how it works. It's not too bad.

Kings Island retweeted something... interesting today.
