Hello?


Well, there's One Car!


Even with the relativly large group for KICentral Day, We Still got a Sweet Parking Spot!


Even the Handicap Parking was empty.


I know everyone's like "It's 8:30 AM, what do you Expect?"

Vekoma + Sunrise = Pretty.


Lots of mechanics and little gadgets and stuff up there.

I loved the Fireworks display


We then Had half an hour of ERT On the Racer, of which I rode it 5 times!


Thank You Kings Island for a Wonderfull Day!

Great report, I loved some of the pretty pictures.

But...

Your poor grammar of random capitalization of words kills me.

^Sorry, I was kinda sleepy when I wrote this.

^^ Oh, come on! It's fine!

Anyway, nice pictures and trip report, thanks! For some reason the picture with you and the garbage can, er, Vortex i mean, made me laugh.

^I make people laugh without even trying. That's either skills or luck.

Nice pics!

Thanks

Nice trip report. I wouldn't worry about the grammar.

finally, somebody who gives credit to Arrow coasters! nice report, can't wait to go there next year

^Dude, Arrow is Kick @$$! Of course I'm given' em credit.

definitely, just some people (not me) hate them due to some roughness, but i love em'

Come on, Roughness? You whimps. Can't handle a little bangin'!

yeah, kinda what i was thinkin'

Flight Deck is so smooth though.

it looks awesome, but i'll just have to wait for '09, but it'll be worth it w/ diamondback

And whatever you do DON'T miss the Adventure Express. Thst is the sweetest mine ride out there. Period.

Adventure Express is a nice ride, but really a non-descript ride (top speed 35mph; ho hum) with a let down at the end. "....now you will pay!"

It doesn't have to be big, I like it. It's fun. Besides, I really don't care about the ending.
