Kentcky Rumbler in the Dark in December, sounds great to me!

[Guy T. Koepp]

Yay! I will get to ride Kentucky Rumbler this year! BB is only 1 hr from my house! I am there!

 

Woo Hoo! One more new credit before the year ends.

That's awesome! Yet another chance to ride what I now think is my favorite GCI coaster.

I like this idea a lot. It's nice to see that some parks farther north than Florida, Texas, and California are open during the holidays. Nice job Beech Bend!!

[Hilltopper39]

I think I'm gonna go check it out thanksgiving day, I'll try to get some pics or soemthing (I guess thats what people on her do after all haha). Rumbler in the dark is a blast, rumbler anytime is a blast. Should make for a great thanksgiving, food football and coasters!

I posted this in the Calendar section. I plan on going down sometime in December unless TPR decides to do something.

[ginzo]

Yeah, I think I'm going to try to make it out to this. I'm planning to go to Mammoth Cave next month. So, I can just stop by Beech Bend the night before I hit Mammoth. They're only about 30 miles apart, or so. I'm a little concerned about riding in the freezing cold, but oh well.

How could does it get in Kentucky? Would Rumbler be able to make it back to the station if it is really cold?

[PKI Jizzman]

Hmm...an hour south of L-Ville...So it's about 2 hours away, I really hope to visit there soon. Maybe next season of I go down to SFKK.

You can do it in 2 hours, if you drive 100 MPH.

It can get very cold in Kentucky during the winter. I just Kentucky does not have a bad winter this year.

Today here in Lexington it was close to 70 degrees, probably warmer in Bowling Green. It looks like it will be seasonally cool for Beech Bends opening! Who is going, I will probably go in December if reviews come back postive.

[spaceace12]

I am going in Dec. regardless.

[PkiJake]

True, I have never ridden Rumbler or thier Wild Mouse coaster.

[jamesdillaman]

I'm going December 8th. Hopefully it stays above 30 degrees, or they close Rumbler down, I was told by a member of the staff when I called to ask.

 

-James Dillaman

[spaceace12]

according to weather.com, the average temp. for that day is 50 and the low is 31. If they stay around the average, you should be good. Shoot, if it stays close to that, I might end up going down that saturday.

[PKI Jizzman]

Good news! My Uncle has a house down in a place near Beech Bend! So a trip is being planned as a Christmas present! Can't wait to ride one of the best GCI creations out there!!!

[PkiJake]

I am going the 22nd, I talked my grandma into going when the family visits her for Christmas. We live in Lexington and she lives in Glasgow, about 30 minutes away from Bowling Green. I am so excited to get to ride Kentucky Rumbler!!!

 

-Jake

[Hilltopper39]

James, you still goin on the 8th? I live here in Bowling Green and might be hitting it up the same day

[PKI Jizzman]

Hey....isn't Shock Drop supposedly some insane drop ride? I remember hearing some things about it when people were posting about the MWTrip.

 

-J "I love drop rides!!!!!!" Z

[Hilltopper39]

Yeah it's a pretty good lil drop tower. ARM makes it I believe. Not huge tower, but the drop always catches ya off gaurd. It never really stops when gettin raised up just rises rises rises then drops with no real warning. Lots of fun!

[PKI Jizzman]

Ah, cool! Because I LOVE Drop Zone, but I've been on it so many stinkin' times, I know when it's going to drop wether I count it or not! I'm planning on going to 21st and 22nd!!! I can't WAITTT!!!!!

 

-J "I hope my surgery is going to all me...." Z

[spaceace12]

So I think I am probalby going on later in the month because I just don't see tomorrow happening for me, being sick and might have a friend who might go in a couple weeks.

[PkiJake]

Did anyone go to this this weekend like they said that they might? I am just wondering how it was. If the weather is anything like it was here in Lexington it was extremley foggy and wet!
