    Kings Island: Five rides in Five Hours

    Sounds like you had a great time! I am amazed at how firehawk had such a short wait time, especially at that time of the day, which is not normally the case. I have heard that firehawk at around that time of the day has very long lines. Also, unlike most riders of firehawk (or any vekoma...

    Coasters you'd love to ride but (probably) never will

    GuyWithAStick you forgot one important part about "China". You forgot the hand gesture that trump makes with China. Here it is: [emoji112]. Except it goes from upper right to lower left. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Coasters you'd love to ride but (probably) never will

    Snoo, I have not been to kings island yet, so I haven't gotten a chance to ride firehawk. I just wanted to let you know, so you don't get confused, and I only put the long lines in there based upon a lot of trip reports to kings island. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Coasters you'd love to ride but (probably) never will

    A coaster that I want to ride but I am not sure I will be able to ride is Firehawk at kings island. This is because the lines for firehawk are extremely long (this has to be the first ride you ride or you will face long lines), I live a while away from kings island (I live in Nashville...

    How Much do you Research a Park Before a First Visit?

    Great topic! I am one where I love to plan a lot. This is because I normally don't have time to go to theme parks. The closet amusement park near me is beech bend park (I live in Nashville Tennessee), which if you look at what posts I have created, I ask people about the ride experience of...

    Favorite Simulator

    Sure there is orange and green mission space, however, I prefer a different kind of simulator. The simulator that I prefer are Maxflight simulators. These simulators are most commonly found at fun centers or science museums/centers. They are fairly claustrophobic (I am not claustrophobic but I...

    What was your first coaster to feature an inversion?

    Technically, the first "coaster" that had an inversion was when I rode a Maxflight simulator at my science center. I know that technically it is not a coaster, however, the forces felt just like a real roller coaster (except for the wind). Here is what the Maxflight simulator I rode looked like...

    My first trip report at beech bend park

    I know I talked a lot about going to kings island and beech bend, but I decided to go to beech bend because it is a lot closer to Nashville, it is cheaper, I need to get used to amusement park rides again (I have not been to an amusement park in a while before this), and the rides looked fun to...

    What was the first ride you rode no handed?

    The first ride I ever rode no handed was Air Race at Beech Bend Park. I went to the park on September 4th, 2016, Air Race was my favorite ride at the whole park, and because of this I rode the ride no handed. Riding no handed may seem terrifying, however on some rides, holding on to the harness...

    Which rides are top of your flat ride bucket list?

    I would have loved to go to Kings Island, however my parents say it is too expensive, way too far away for my parents to feel good about me driving there, and I don't want to go against my parents. Again, I would have loved to go to Kings Island, but my silly parents are in the way. They also...

    Which rides are top of your flat ride bucket list?

    My number one flat ride that I want to ride is a Zamperla Power Surge. I want to ride it because of how disorienting it is, how unique it is, how much it goes upside down, the seat and harness looks comfy and tight, and how much it spins. My Number two flat ride that I want to ride is the...

    My girlfriend and I are going to beech bend in July.

    Before y'all start, it was her idea to go here. She came up with the idea for a couple of reasons. For one, she noticed that I have not been to an amusement park in a while and thinks I need to get used to rides again. Second, she knew that a five hour drive from Nashville TN to Kings Island...

    I have not been to an amusement park in a while.

    I will most likely go to Kings Island because the rides are more thrilling than other places. What advice do you have for kings island? When is Kings Island the least busy?

    I have not been to an amusement park in a while.

    I have looked at all the parks y'all suggested and I can not decide between holiday world and Kentucky kingdom. Which is better for someone who has not ridden a drop tower ride? Which is closer to Nashville?

    I have not been to an amusement park in a while.

    I believe my coaster count is 10. I have never ridden an air race. I really want to get ready for an amusement park again.

    I have not been to an amusement park in a while.

    It has been at least 4 years since I have been at an amusement park. I am hoping to go to kings island, but I feel like I won't be ready for the rides. This is because I have not ridden the good rides at an amusement park. I heard from a member on these forums that I should go to Beech Bend Park...

    Rides that still genuinely scare you...

    A ride that really scares me just looking at them are drop tower rides. I don't know why, but they look terrifying. Maybe because of the height of the ride.

    Riding slingshot and xtreme skyflyer solo at kings island?

    Re: Riding slingshot and xtreme skyflyer solo at kings islan I just found out from Kings Island that you have to have someone with you to ride Slingshot. They won't even let employees ride with the customers. I wish anyone could ride Slingshot solo. I know that you can ride Xtreme Skyflyer solo...

    Comfy harness vs tight harness?

    I prefer a harness that is very tight and not that comfy. I can also do harness that are tight and comfy. I prefer my harnesses to be this way because that way I don't move much on the ride. It does bother me when a harness can not be tighten to a riders need. What is your personal preference...
