We have just added another 88 pictures to our ever growing gallery. These pictures come from Kings Island. There are some great pictures of this park and it’s rides. Kings Island is home to 13 roller coasters, and a lot of other great rides.
As always, a review of the park will be coming sometime next week, but I need to do Holiday World first. You can check out the Kings Island gallery here.

Canada’s Wonderland had been teasing us with signs in the park and an online flash animation, and now we can finally see what this thing is. This thing, is a B&M hyper coaster named Behemoth. The coaster marks CW’s largest investment into the park. A few quick stats; 230ft high, 5,318 ft of track, and prototype trains. The trains are a first for B&M, 2×2 seating, with the second row flanking the first row, giving an unobstructed view of the ride. Looks pretty cool if you as me.

We pulled into the park just after two o’clock, knowing that we were …

I always thought Mindfreak was an interesting show, but now that they have a roller coaster involved it is that much more interesting. On August, 28th at 10PM EST and again at 2AM EST on A&E, Criss will tie himself to the tracks of the Canyon Blaster roller coaster at the Adventuredome at Circus Circus and attempt to escape before being pummeled by the train.
This should be very interesting and I can’t wait to see how it all goes down. It is amazing how he can design these stunts and …

I like to think that a little rain wont stop me from enjoying my day at the local amusement park. But I have seen a growing trend among Cedar Fair parks that may cause me to check the forecast before heading to the regional Cedar Fair park for the day.
I think there is an un-spoken line of thought that a few drops of rain wont majorly alter my coaster riding experience – with the exception of being hit by oncoming rain at 120 miles an hour, the few who have …
