jamesdillaman Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Well when they lose the license for Top Gun and the other movie rides, they'll re-theme Top Gun to something like Steel Lizard, so no worries. -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 ^Naahh...that will be Runaway Reptar....Top Gun...will be changed back to Mach3 the ride. Happy Birthday James!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAYASHI Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 really? mach3? not very appealing. but of course thats corporate. when i think of mach3 i think of the gillette razor blades. i say they should do a re-naming contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 ^Yup! It used to be alllll over Top Gun. Over the bill boards, signs...train? I dont think so, but yea. Mmhm... yup....closest shave and stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 This uninspired fountain thing should be dark blue or grey. It's so tacky now. And the Eiffel Tower should be brown. Firehawk on the other hand is looking great. Nice updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Wow Fire Hawk looks great. I love the color of it, it really works. When is SOB plan to open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennywood!007 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Mmmm, I love those colors of the Firehawk trains!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 ^^^ The Eiffel Tower....brown?! Yea, I'm sure it wouldn't be made fun of every time I see it and look perfectly with the blue sky above it. I think the fountains and the Tower looks great! ^^SOB is still out of the question. I tried to ask some people around the park, but all I got was "Talk to guest relations" But in my opinion, realy June. The track work looks 80% to 100% done. But there are still no trains on the track, so it has to be atleast 3-4 weeks when the trains are on. I am sure there will be a press release with new specs for it aswell when the time comes. ^Yea, I think Firehawk is looking awesome too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Thanks for the happy birthday, Zach, although this is the first year I haven't been to Holiday World on my birthday weekend. I still had fun at KI, though. Julia and I actually had a great ride on Face/Off. Blew me away! There were no crowds Sunday (maybe because of mother's day?), and we didn everything we wanted to do in just a few hours. You were right about racer. We rode it forwards and it beat you up a lot less this year. The trackwork helped. Backwards was fun as always. Sorry to tell you we didn't ride Vortex, but we were tired. Viking Fury has an awesome crew this year. They were pitting each side against eachother (the ride ops on each side of the ship) and really getting into it. I'd recommend going to this much overlooked ride this season!! It was the best guest relating I've ever seen at KI. We'll be going next Saturday, and I'll be there with some friends on memorial day. Hit up my cell if you're in the park those days, Zach. -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 ^I really...really wanted to get a ride on Face/Off, the other day; but being a GREAT day with 10 different school trips there, it had a huge line. Maybe next week! As for Viking Fury, I do think they were moving people in and out. Not much interaction, though. Just a clear and you were gone! I definitely will, James! Oh, and maybe a Holiday World trip will be realistic for this summer Did you get a ride of FoF? And did you think it was better than last year? -Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 You want to meet up on the 23rd when the park opens for daily operation? I truly have nothing better to do until Coney opens for the summer, so I have time to spare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 ^I still have school OMG! I just saw this on KIExtreme. What did I tell you? I said Avatar will valley! AND IT DID! LOL!!!!! LOL! There it is, wrong side of the hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Oh well, I'll go anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Avatar "valleys" everytime it stops to unload/load. It isn't a coaster, it's powered. So "valleying" is no big deal at all, as they can move it either direction from a stop. It just takes a few goes to pick up momentum. -James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster05 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Valley or not that ride is easily in my top five at KI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 ^^ Well...true, but it stopped on the other side....so...considered valleyed? Has this happened before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffy Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Yes it valleyed last year in the same place. Soon as it got fixed they turned on the power and it went back to the station. If its very windy out you might see it valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Ahh yea...that makes sence. Wouldn't they be able to give it an extra power boost if they noticed it going too slow? Or some warning? Eh, Im no ride op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 Kings Island was dead today! My friend and I went from about 4:30 till close. Longest wait was 20 minutes for Flight of Fear. Always worth it! My camera's screen cracked after I got off FoF. Seems it banged into the restraint during the ride Rides Delirium - one great ride, with only 10 min wait! Face/Off - 3 consecutive rides in the front way to go F/O ops! Damn is that loop forceful Congo Falls - one very wet ride. walk on Top Gun - 3 great rides from the front to back! walk on Racer - one HORRIBLE ride! The blue train sucks!!!! very rough, while all the other rides on the red train kicked butt! walk on Flight of Fear - one excellent ride. about 20 min wait Italian Job - Was running excellent today! Ops were great! 10 min wait. WTBRA - one wet ride...stupid elephant! Tomb Raider - Excellent ride. Not as much pressure on the dangly bits as I remembered! walk on The Beast - One SMOOTH night ride. walk on. Damn trims! Die! B. Racer - one great ride..smooth and all. walk on DROP ZONE! - Four walk on and off rides! Packs a punch every time! <3 The Eiffel Tower looks **great** at night! Alot of different colors that change smoothly. All in all an awesome evening at KI. Odd for it to be dead on MM day weekend! Pics, of course PS - Love the TPR Shirt <3 Empty line and rerides are welcome! Thumbs up TG crew! Yeaaaa...now time to ride again! I dont know about you, but I think this is a good shot. Shows how close the ride is to the trees...and man is it close! Clear for take off! Look out for the tree! Skt skt skt.....-still swaying back and forth- Top Gun was running great today Well if F/O was a walk on, Top Gun HAS to be empty! Surprise surprise....as far as Im concerned, this doesn't exist. Yup! Rode it three times in a row and all I got were red ears. No smashing at all, just strong forces Yummy twistyness It's calling your name....Derek. Yup...that was the line! That means 3 consecutive front seat rides! Mmm...yumm sig shot. Yea...that was us. Though it felt good and wasn't THAT wet Mmm...haven't been on Face/Off yet ...let's check it out! We will be playing the sad and pathetic role on Congo Falls today Yea sportin the TPR shirt today Delirium with a 10 min wait...awesome! On the way to KI!
