Nor Cal Trip ( Completed )

Re: In Seach of #400 (Idewild up)

The great thing about Pa. is that you do not have to go far to be at another park. I decided that Lakemont was up next and let out of Idlewild at around 1 pm or so. I think I took every backroad in Pa. to get there. I guess my gps decided to take me on a tour of Pa. but arrived at the park around 2:...

Re: Coaster Stock - 7/24

Plus if the event is a Park Sponsered Event than the park is picking up the tab for any ERT as opposed to a Coaster Club event where the park passes the cost of having to staff the Coasters for ERT along to the people in attendance. SOme parks tend to pick that up also but OG has not been known to b...

King's Island Diamondback Trip

SO some of you knew I headed up to Kings Island this past Friday evening into early Saturday afternoon. It had been a number of years since I had been there and will say the last time I went was a complete mess of a park but it seems that under new ownership the park has turned around for the better...
