My question is, why take out Paddlewheel to install Dinosaurs Alive! when they can at least install something a little more, oh I don't know, better?! Just my two cents.

^ That's exactly how I feel about them.

I agree 100%. I've never been a fan of Mantis. I only ride it if it has NO line just to get the credit but that's it. It's just too rough on your head and legs.

My latest video that I added to YouTube. Tell me what you think about it; good or bad.

I do realize all of what you mean. I'm just saying that sometimes ride ops can seem to be in a great mood, other times not so much.

I was at the park today; I didn't ride much but when I did the ride ops were mediocre.

Magnum's lapbars are quite lose.

I'm there quite often and it just seems like when I ride, I tend to get the 'not so energetic' crews.

It's not just 'running all three trains', it's also the efficiency of the ride. It a train leaves the station and gets back to the brake run right after the 'splash landing' before the next train heads out of the station forcing the train to stop, it's not that efficient. I saw this happen multiple times last time I was there. Having all the trains running is really only helpful when the train doesn't have to stop on the slanted brakes.

Could you explain 'amazing'? Do you mean great capacity, friendliness, etc.? I ask because while they do tend to have good capacity, I personally think they could do a little better with their friendliness...well at least compared to Kings Island's staff. It seems like the CP staff doesn't have any enthusiasm while the KI staff seemed to be up-beat and happy while I visited there this year.

Just like Soak City at Cedar Point, they do need to upgrade some of their attractions.

BIG surprise!!!

That's interesting, we'll have to wait to see if any more changes arise...which they probably will.

The other 'non-main' coasters can easily vary in line length. Sometimes they can be 5 minutes, or 30 minutes and can change at anytime like I saw this past Thursday as I passed by them several times.

That's true; so they need at least ONE dark ride.

The closest I've got to seeing celebs is in concerts :/

That's very impressive, and cool.

For some reason, I like Clarions

Looks like a fun park to go to; I'll have to check it out sometime.

Those drawings are amazing.

I wish my home park had more dark rides. *cough Cedar Point cough*

I've been to Boomerang Bay at Kings Island and I personally think it's better than Soak City. I don't know why; I just enjoy it more.

As big of an outdoor roller coaster fan that I am, I still really do like dark rides. It's a big reason why I prefer to go to Kings Island over Cedar Point. Also, because of their theming within the queue line and actual ride.

I've always wanted to bungee jump and skydive; I've just never had the chance to (mainly because of the this little thing called money).

That's how I am too. Why pay $250 for a Cedar Point hotel (or however much it is) when a mile down the road (not even) I can stay in a $50 hotel (sometimes less). I already get early entry with my platinum pass so that's no problem. I'm not huge on the whole 'comfort' thing; as long as I have a bed to sleep in I don't mind how bad it looks.
