DenDen Posted May 4, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.A.B Posted May 4, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Peck Posted May 4, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted May 4, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Baby Posted May 6, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if they can only do something about the train comming to a complete stop furring the midcourse........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.B Posted May 6, 2011 Share 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.
