Unfortunately I am pressed for time but I wanted to get this up there to give Kentucky Kingdom some love.

Ed Hart has done an amazing job at transforming a defunct park into one that is bright, vibrant, and full of quality rides.

The landscaping is lush, well done, and there are lots of trees and shade.

The flat rides are abundant.

The Ferris Wheel adds a great skyline and nostalgic feel to a modern park.

There is plenty to do when you want to take a break and have some laughs.

Umm. 5D? Barely 3D but still fun with non-violent motion seats.

Lightning Run - all I can say is WOW! Chance is on their game. Amazing what can be done with $7 mil and a 100' drop. This ride does not disappoint and is non-stop.

You can keep your hands up throughout Thunder Run.

I was planning on going this year but I've decided to change that now. I liked the park when I last went during the six flags years. Wish they still had the Anton Shuttle, but what they have now and are getting seem to be a step in the right direction.

Thanks for the pix!

I'd like to try and make it out there next year for Storm Chaser.

I will admit I was a little disappointed with Storm Chaser though. It seemed like they are missing a lot of potential with the dueling aspect not coming to life.
