cinciDAWGS12 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 So you work at the "shoot the basketball and watch the ball fly off the retarded rim place". Maybe i will see you up there sometime i got a season pass. This was a kick a$$ TR keep them coming!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 ^Yup, pretty much! The one that draws a bigger crowd than the shows and plays awesome music. Accually, the ball only flies out of the court about 10-15 a day. And that's pretty good! Usually you dont have to deal with people not giving the ball back...unless it is a five year old!

pkd804 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Omg, that 3 Point Shot game? I really hate the one at KD because it brings crowds blocking the entrance to the Congo area. That was one bad move by Cedar Fair. We already have I think 4 basketball games now. The so fimiliar sounds of basketballs bouncing throughout the park gets annoying.

Carnage Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Edit: ^Wait a minute...You say you were there just this past weekend? Was it on a Sunday? I saw a guy wearing an ACE jacket with a lady in the Volcano que line when the park opened. I think they took the back seat. Then I saw them again at Anaconda a few minutes later and once again took the back seat. I was on the same train and I overheard this dude say his restraint was loosening on the ride. Was that you with the ACE jacket? If not, forget what I said. Â I was there on Sunday. Â But I am not in ACE. So no that wasn't me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Wow, 150 pictures....and a third of them are out of focus.... I'd say about 15 of them are. and over 1/2 are because of FoF, Top Gun, or maybe just a bad shot. But atleast I had good captions for them. They can't all be great. I got my share in the KI gallery, and I am still getting rave reviews about this TR, so I am happy!  pkd804 - I do agree, the one at KI really congests traffic into/out of River Town     Edit - I edited out some pics.

mcjaco Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yes, captions make the TR. If they're not good shots, leave them out. It's about quality, not quantity. No one wants to page through pages of craptastic shots of stuff out of focus, or across from the parking lot. Â I see no "rave reviews." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 ^I get people telling me nice job on here through PM's, the chat room; and offline on messangers.

PKI Jizzman Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Dont you have somthing better to do than heckle a 15 year old on spelling? I'm sure you can contribute to TPR in a better way than this tiny matter. I try to get back on topic and you try to put me down. If you have any other problems with small errors in my spelling, the please PM it. Because I dont need it out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteb Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Great pictures of Top Gun; there's just no other experience like the old Arrow supended coasters out there. I've been in the back car and that last turn into the brakes is crazy with the cars swinging seemingly way past horizontal. Such a great ride hidden in the corner of KI.

PKI Jizzman Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 ^Thanks! Yea, that's why it is under-appreciated. People think it is too far of a walk back for a short, intense ride. But I don't care, that just makes less of a line when I reach the station! Â I'll think my question before got lost in the senseless bickering. Last year, there was a jerk when the chain caught the train to pull it up. When I rode it the other day, BOTH times, it was a smooth pull up! There was no jerk, but there is still that part where you slow down abit. Any explinations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can contribute to TPR in a better way than this tiny matter. Truer words were never spoken. Â One year there's a chain jerk and one year there's not? Hmmm...extra lifthill lube perhaps? Â Lifthill Lube. There's gotta be a market for that somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 ^Hahaha! Well, I will see if it is still as good as it was last time, because I'm headin out right now! More when I come back  WOW! What a differance one week makes! Important/Big Changes I notices --Firehawk train ON TRACK in the left side of the station WITH test dummies -Firehawk entrance sign "Test Pilots Enter Here" -"Base-X" Sign by the age and weight game in front of the Flight of Fear walk way. It pointed to FoF and Firehawk -Flight of Fear....sign said, "Coming soon, ON RIDE VIDEOS!" -On FoF walk way there is an airstrip type thing leading to Firehawk -Firehawk's onride photo/gift shop had been painted some (white and black chekered some) --Son of Beast trackwork seems to be finished! You can see the nice new wood with the steel lining on it! Still no trains. -Tolerance of Smoking is up, there were MANY times where people infront of me where smoking, and I had to ask them so stop.  I went on.... -Runaway Reptar: Not long of a line, and I hadn't been on it since it was new! Gotta love the helix. -Wild Thornberry's River Adventure: I have been wanting to go on a log flume for a while, and so I did! It was fun and I got mildly wet; drying quickly, though. -Viking Fury: Fun viking ship, small moments of wana be floater airtime! -Adventure Express: about 15 minute wait, still as fun as last time, but there was one MAJOR jerk, and it was kinda cool, kinda painful haha! -Racer (Frwrds): About 15 minute wait, the ops were 10x slower than backwards. The ride itself was awesome! Still great mements of airtime and WAY less rough! It's great! -Vortex: About 15 minute wait. Still running great with an awesome pop of airtime in the back seat! It felt like there was more hang time on the corks. -Flight of Fear: About 45minutes for the full qeue indoors and partially outdoors. My favorite coaster at Kings Island hands down! the launch is great with out the blinding photo I STILL hear this sweet bass intro when the train rolls in, after the futuristic woman's voice telling you to sit up right and blah blah. The final corkscrew could be my most favorite element ever! -Top Gun: About 1/2 hour wait for the front. Provides a great, quick and intense ride with at LEAST 5 moments swinging beyond 90*. LOL! In line, a guy dropped his basketball over the rail into the ravine! LOL! What a dumbass, he probolly spent 15-25$ winning it! LOL! -Drop Zone: The final ride of the day after getting in line 5 minutes before closing. Thanks KI! We waited about 1/2 hour and still my favorite flat of all time ATM. An excellent scare every time, especially with that very nice kick out of your seat on the wait down!  The park was really crowded today, mainly because it was a perfect day! Here are some pics from the trip! Lovely Vortex batwing transition shot. That's all for this time, thanks for reading!!!! I found this nice pic. A loop for Derek because he's a nice guy. And becuase I thought Vortex's loops were pretty forcefull today Beware!.....of the huge overflowing 2 hour line.... Mmmm....Arrow goodness. Sounds awesome to me right now For all you Red Hot Chili Pepper's fans Including me Splash! Wild Thornberry's River Adventure, a fun little log flume One train operations make it annoying to try to get a sig shot. Hey it's Patrick! Almost over at about 2-5mph For a 15 min wait, this did not look worth it. Looked really boring until it got the momentum to inch over the hill in the middle Avatar....I will valley some day! the 'SLC In training' a nice fun little vekoma Chick-fil-a. I decieded to go to Nick Universe first for a change today The Eiffel Tower on a nice spring day! Isn't there some law about wearing pants in KI?..... Ah, a nice day for a trip to Kings Island!

PKI Jizzman Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Oh yea, my camera ran out of batteries. Yea, I was mad. I will be going next week haha, seems I am always going every week with new people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I'd meet you there, but I'm actually going to Chicago to see my sister next weekend.

PKI Jizzman Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 In addition: -Top Gun's lift hill still has no jerk like last time -Vortex's seems smoother aswell. -Adventure Express' final lift has more lighting, and some neon colors on the guy above the little dip. I kinda like it! Also, the whole 'all aboard for the Express' spiel was playing! -Prices on food and drink are higher every where I see. Last year it was 2.75 (maybe 3.00)for a 24oz bottle of Coke. Now it is 3.00 for a 20oz. Dippin' Dots are up 25 cents. Burger and a 20oz drink is 10.00. Hot dog and drink is almost 7.00! I don't like it at all. Â Â And now, thanks to KICentral, all the things I described above are now in pictures. Hooray! X-Base: Experamentational Testing; Flight Training Site the runway Shop/photo place? Pilots enter here! I say there will be testing/already been done Trains in station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 THATS what I wanted to see Even if they dont theme the actual ride, Firehawk already looks EXCELLENT! Area X is a decent name, but I still say Top Gun would have almost been right at home there (Area 51 in the queu line) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastrfreak2000 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Firehawks's theming looks exactly like Top Gun's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 ^Umm...I would say similar theme about the flying and such, but totally different theming....if there is any for the coaster, the area looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
