^ Not bad, we always go during Halloweekends. About like a weekday in the Summer. Last year we just kept riding Thunderbird the last hour they were open.

Great pics, looks like you two had a great trip.

Great photo, Kentucky Kingdom has a pride day, there was even a Drag Show in the New Beer Garten this year.

They can fit all of it in there, that's a big enough lot to fit it all in. It won't be as stretched out, but more compact. They might lose a few things, but most of it will fit. Before KY Kingdom came, the Fair Midway, used to be in the parking lot, behind the stadium, next to the highway. I love going to the Fair and have since I grew up. Looking forward to the change, got my 6 tickets and parking passes.

Great update, can't wait to get to Dollywood next, fall.

Great report, two of my favorite parks.

Great report, glad to hear you liked Kinky Boots, I'm going to see it Saturday.

Was talking to an employee, who has worked at the Park since 1987. I asked about the announcement and he said it would have to come by the end of June, because it would be obvious. Take that for what you will.

I think the announcement will come May 22nd, right before Memorial Day weekend.

Here are a few of Kentucky Kingdoms new Rides, hope this will help Larry. Eye of the Storm dign Eye of the Storm Thunder Runs new sign Thunder Runs new Blue Train

You can walk around with your Drinks/Beer

Kentucky kingdoms, next Coaster won't come til 2019. Ed already said 2018 is going to Hurricane Bay, most likely a replacement for the old MT. Slide Hai complex, since they announced it's the last year for those slides. They can build up to 200 feet, on the East side of the park, along the line of Sky Catcher, Giant Wheel and the Entrance. Ed has been happy with RMC, they worked on Thunder Run and built Storm Chaser and been very happy with the results. The next coaster, will run along the backside of the Waterpark and be a T-Rex. I don't know, but 2019 will be their next New Coaster and Ed does like RMC.

^ They had a private party, Saturday night til Midnight, might have been for that.

Derby Day at Ky. Kingdom, is a winner. Derby Day at Ky Kingdom is dead, most locals are home watching the Derby, the tourist having started coming yet. It's a perfect day, the park is dead and the Water Park isn't opened yet.

Thunder Run, was never designed to run more than 1 Train, there was never supposed to be a transfer track. It was designed as it was, no need for a second Train. It couldn't be added, because there is no room.

Outlaw Run Kentucky Kingdom?

Watched and shared the Video, great job

Speculation on multiple coaster sites/Youtube channels of RMC T-Rex or B&M Hyper. Is there anywhere in the park they could build a B&M Hyper though, with height restrictions and all? When I say "sizable", I'm talking more "Chang" vs. "Lightning Run"...lol, not Diamondback. The front side, talking Lightning Run, Giant Wheel and Deep Water Dive they can build up to 200 feet. Any taller and it would have to go underground. The Max height on the back side is 100 feet. So they could go behind Sky Catcher and the rest of the newer part of the Water Park.

I'm excited about " Eye of the Storm ", not overally, but excited. I used to love these rides at the Fair, when they first appeared, yes I'm that old. It's a good addition to the thrill park.

That's funny, we're the exact opposite, I do Lightning Run then Cyclos.

It was a sentimental return to the name of our "first" (actually, second) coaster. Paula did you all get the Bayren Kurve, from Funspot also. That would be a fantastic addition, in the Christmas Section, where Santa's Story Time theater is.

^ It was a Coaster, at Santa Claus Land then Holiday World, back where Holidogs Funtown is. I wish they would have chose a different name, but it's still a nice addition anyways.

Have ran several, between Opryland and KY Kingdom. Sky Coaster, Hellevator at Ky Kingdom, and Chaos at Opryland were my favorites.
