What kind is it? I don't remember it at all. We must not have ridden it.

So like at SFGAm, Carowinds, Kennywood, SFStL, but not the kind at KI or KD, right?

The CGA instalment is actually the same size as the CW one. It`s a 220ish foot tower, with a 200 foot drop... Carowinds is only a 100 foot drop. Kennywoods is taller but not but much. They just shortend Drop Zones Ques significantly... they had a maze last year sooo long that it was walk on by the time you got through it. If you sit on one side you get a perfect view of the construction zone.. I`m surprised pictures haven`t shown up yet. They do a good job on DZ wit checking for filming.

Mid June now :P

Those pics are crazy to me... But if you don't know the lay of the land they probably don't mean so much. The Mountain used to be such a symbol there. You could see it for miles. Now it's very hidden, and Behemoth is the first thing you driving up, not the Mountain.

Rumour has it that Dragon Fyre may be in it's last year. I guess we will see how emotional I get about loosing an arrow looper. I may even ride it this year... CW has never ditched a coaster though. I guess I will believe it when I see it.

Just got back from mania and windseeker ERT did not happen. CW's was working today, and yesterday not sure if it's the first full day of being totally up. Reviews are its not at all thrilling but still manages to be some what awesome in a way. Relaxing, and great views. Great Views... so why does kings island have one ;)
