At Kings Island, the Fast Lane is a completely separate line that enters the station.

Considering they manufactured 13,000 ft of track for 2016 rides, I don't think the facility is anywhere near capacity. They are manufacturing a little more than 4,000 ft of track for S&S in 2017.

That's unfortunate. The park really doesn't need less trees.

Lol. Good thing I'm not there. Once I have a couple drinks in me I tend to make friends with everyone around me. They would have been target number one lol. I'm wondering where the rest of the story is... There is no way you spot those guys and don't have a story...

I would have appreciated the arcing motion the whole thing would have made from the top of the first drop, but I'm fairly certain that 5 seconds of entertainment wouldn't have been worth a ban. I don't know if it was the whole ride, but I do know it was in the on-ride photo. So I'm guessing it was a misguided attempt to create a unique photo.

Probably about 15 years ago, a friend of mine got banned and had her season pass revoked for streaming TP on Magnum.

It's still a hot dog... I only eat them when they're free, and even that isn't very pleasant.

Food??? Pinks??? Hot dogs?? Wieners!? Yes please!! Yeah, no thanks. We can return to the cheese on a stick conversation, though.

If I'm with a group I take advantage of the chili cheese fries discount. Otherwise, I eat pretty much everywhere. I'm not a huge fan of Pinks or Johnny Rockets, though. My favorite is Macho Nachos (Los Gatos, I think) but I sometimes head out to Famous Dave's or TGI Fridays. I would imagine a Melt Bar & Grilled visit may be in my future as well.

I can't tell if you are trolling, or being serious. . . Dragster has some pretty wicked straight track

Reports of more lift work being completed. Fast approaching the original height. Not much else visible without venturing to the park.

You can see it on the webcam. Unless you want to drive out to the main midway and post pictures.

I wear cargo shorts on skyrides

I can screenshot the screamscape update. Does that count?

Unless everyone is wrong, the lift hill will be steeper.

The grainy photos I have aren't from a webcam. I actually had to get a few developed.

We've been using grainy photos to predict rides for years.

"Nothing to see here"

He's referring to the centerline, not the layers of wood.

Why not say 3683ft?

I think it would be hilarious if they simply opened it without announcing anything. Just to irk coaster enthusiasts. Announce it on opening day, perhaps?

Wasn't it the environmental people that said it was too much noise? Something about disturbing the wildlife outside the park in the immediate area?

CF gets the blame, because after a series of poor management decisions, they pulled the plug. Anyone that says the park was dying apparently missed the increase in business that went to Kennywood and Waldameer immediately after GL closed. The park could have survived on a regional level. Abandoning the rides and opening a new waterpark on the Sea World property was the final poor decision made by management.

That little bit where Tony pulled the camera away from the ride formerly known as Mean Streak...
