I'll second the queue roofs request. Not even out of May/June and I'm sweating up a funk waiting for the Skytower. And at least clean this window, since it's the one I'm stuck with EVERY single time:

Can they update the playlist every once in awhile? I like the B-52s, but if I hear Love Shack one more time I'm going to start packing earplugs.

Can the ride ops stop ordering me to make some noise? (Except for the flyers guy, he was singing "Sailing" the other day, quite nicely I might add.)

Positively though, the ride for 2010, a quality flat for 2011, and I'm a happy guy. Aside from a couple of gaps here and there, the park is looking pretty amazing.

^That was one awesome thing I noticed at Kings Island this year, the music they were playing was GREAT! 70s and 80s, with a few more modern tunes thrown in. But nowhere in the park did I hear this r&b crap that they usually play at Hurler.

I'm glad we got the Yo-Yo, as it has livened up the County Fair area some, but the look and feel of the Wave Swingers are so much better... :?

Also I know this will never happen but can we take out some games or something..? I hate walking through the Boardwalk area being shouted at by like 5 different people.. (though it is quite accurate from my time spent on the Jersey Boardwalks..)


Agreed on both items. I'm glad there are swings over there again, but the yo yo is being run far from the glory of Ghost Town's model. If they'd make it tilt again, run it faster, and run it longer I'd ride the thing about trip out there like I used to the wave swinger.

And as far as the skytower glass, they do clean it, it's just crappy scratched up plexiglass. They need to replace all the glass on it.

R&B crap...give some examples please... :?: I would like to know your definition of crap before I come to a conclusion...

It's r&b.
It's crap.

What else do you want from me?

:lol: :lol:

Honestly I used to like r&b back in the 80s/early 90s before all they did was do some crappy rap over top of a loop for 5 minutes, or worse steal an 80s song and do the same to it.

Yeah I know what you mean...I feel the same about that christian crap...

Jarvis "knows the difference between R&B (rhythmn and blues) and ganster rap and rap period..." Morant

I actually agree with you there. Most Christian music today is crap. It all sounds the same to me now, where each artist at least used to try and have their own sound.

Thrillzone really needs the most work if you ask me. I know hurler is over there, but I did not even waste my time to go in the back to ride hurler. That part of the park is so depressing and later in the evening, its like a ghost town. But overall with the new coaster for 2010 (hopefully) and a couple good flats, I would be happy to just see more improvements made to the park. Afterburn and cyclone really need some painters to tackle the problem 'cause they both look horrible.

Oh, and clean up the area around thunder road it also looks tacky, about like a junk yard.

I hate the log flume is out but the fact is it's probly a whole lot cheaper money wise and this was a good ride for a hot summer day but the way I look at this look the the nick water ride looked like and now would you not like the carolina cobra over that I mean new trains the whole area around there got a upgrade nice landscaping ect. but if they do that for the cobra I think it will like just as good for our hyper.

Back to subject but I woul like to upgrade the hurler maybe new trains or track and a upgrade of the thrill zone and maybe some upgrades on the county fair section sort of boring back there not much there but over the new though years I see them painting Afterburner,Vortex,Cyclone after all this year carowinds is going to be pretty big in a though years I think if they do as much as last off season.

I don't think anyone did. I asked this guy how old he was a few pages back and he never responded. I'm guessing 12.

I would have said 6-8! Make myself look a little better while at my worst lol.

Anyway what I would like to see happen...A steady line up of shows. I feel a park needs 2 indoor shows to make it feel complete. I would like to see more of a unique offering of food instead of the southern sundays best. WATERSLIDES from this century would be nice. A handful of flats (3-5 would be perfect). ANd to finish off my list some indoor attractions (dark rides, museum, ya know...) to beat the heat

I would love a good dark ride, but it seems like the days of parks building those (outside of the Sally shooters) other than the Disneys and Universals of the world are over. The park could definitely use some things that give it some character.

They're probably also going to have to consider some sort of water ride in the future after removing two of them in one year.
