scruffy Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Very nice pictures did you see invertigo getting stuck?
thrillrider Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 Very nice pictures did you see invertigo getting stuck? No, I did not see that, but we did see congo falls send two boats out at the same time.(see pictures). Did it vally?
scruffy Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 It kinda did half the train was I the station and the other half the loop.
thrillrider Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 Nice Pics... Looked insanely crowded. Snoopy is holding his dog-bowl! As a Snoopy enthusiast I must clear this up. Lol...I know. It's just more fun having a dirty mind.
B.A.B Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Nice trip report,I was there on opening of the park. I think I ran into you and said "TPR". You were wearing an Theme Park Review jacket and shirt.

B.A.B Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 No,I wish I work there. But it must been another TPR member then.
DenDen Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 "Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown" was a Peanuts movie in which the gang had to win a river-rafting race, so I guess it sort of makes sense for a flume ride--but the name is a bit ungainly. These young'uns have no idea. LOL And as someone else mentioned, the swastika on the guys leg sums up my one and only visit to PKI as well. They would have to get the world's first Mag-Lev-coaster before I'll return.
thrillrider Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 No,I wish I work there. But it must been another TPR member then. I may have talked to you in line for a coaster.
B.A.B Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I seen an girl with an TPR jacket an TPR shirt under the jacket walking and I said "TPR" really loud and I think "Theme Park Review" and the women said "Yea". I think she had an camera or video camera in her hands walking away from The Beast toward the barthrooms near Italian Job.
thrillrider Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 That would have been amy. We were both decked out in TPR swag.
John Peck Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Off topic, but does Kings Island still host a "dry run day"? I went to 2 or 3 of those back in college when my roommate worked there and he gave me the free tickets.
the ghost Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Not only did this TR rule, it reminded me to return American History X to netflix... too far? Seriously awesome TR. I love the kind of TRs where it's not just coasters but all the rides in the park. Of course, I always tend to enjoy your trs.

I went to 2 or 3 of those back in college when my roommate worked there and he gave me the free tickets. Not sure about a dry run day, but they used to open the park on the first weekend in april before cedarfair took over. I thi k they used to have a season passholder preview day, but can't remember.
thrillrider Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 A few more shots.... The running of the bulls. Top brass were on hand. Vortex Diamondback and tower shot. Full lines today. Inside the u.f.o The launch tunnel. And yes, I took the tunnel. Unload platform for flight of fear.
Midgetman82 Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I'm still wishing on going on Flight of Fear someday, I haven't been to Kings Island in a loong time! Great photos, it looks nice! I also really love the carnival style lights on Windseeker!
Amy Baby Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Nice trip report,I was there on opening of the park. I think I ran into you and said "TPR". You were wearing an Theme Park Review jacket and shirt. That was probably me you ran into. I have a TPR shirt and TPR zippie hoodie and I was wearing them both that day. Every coaster that was running ran perfectly great and i enjoyed them all.

I also really love the carnival style lights on Windseeker! Since the new style restraints have been put on flight of fear, the ride has been very enjoyable. Now if they can only do something about the train comming to a complete stop furring the midcourse........
B.A.B Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I wish they put themeing back in the Flight of Fear,I remeber the strobe lights in the building,the fog,and the lights going off and on when it lauch. They took the flag thing out of the area were the entrance is,which made me kinda sad. I like that flag thing,I thought it made it look like an real government top secert base.

Hmmm....I don't remember any of that. What kind of flag did they have?
B.A.B Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 Oh,well I remeber the effects. That red thing was gone when I went.
B.A.B Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 Was it an F.B.I flag or something? I think,but that big red tower with the statlites were gone when I went. I just got this photo offline.
