    Ohio's Wonderland: An RCT 2/Classic Park by Jason.

    (Whoa I'm still alive on here?) Long time, no see fellas! I'm back here with a neat project in RCT 2/Classic. Ohio's Wonderland, as the name suggests, is an amusement park in Ohio, roughly around the Dayton area. The park has only been open 5 years and has already had many great roller...

    Kings Island 2018 Preview Night Report

    I recently went to Kings Island's 2018 preview night. Here's what went down. The night started with a quick walk by the new "Coney Bar B Que". It looks interesting but (unsurprisingly) the cheapest thing on the menu was $15. After a bit of walking, I got to my first ride of the season...

    Coaster elements of your own creation (or that you assume is your own)

    (I assume this is in the right catagory, feel free to move it if it's not.) I recently was playing around on NoLimits and, by accident, created an element at the end of a brake run that looks like this kind of turn entry. What happens is that the train runs through a brake run that slows it...

    Is the "Action Point" movie just "Action Park: The Movie"?

    I was on YouTube today and spotted a trailer for a Johnny Knoxville film titled "Action Point". Watching the trailer, they mention the park having no rules, and several familiar sights from the original Action Park. Such as... -A GoKart course where you can do anything and everything. -A luge...

    If you could build a theme park?

    Interesting idea, kinda like that "If you could build a roller coaster" topic I made a while back. So yeah. You've just received a crazy ammount of money. Instead of paying your bills, or doing something logical with the money, you realize that there's enough to open up a large park. What do...

    Ultimate Coaster: A Really (and boy, do I mean really) Good Coaster Builder for Android

    Hey guys, I found a neat little Android app called "Ultimate Coaster." Despite how cheap the name is, it's actually pretty good. It's free on the Play Store, and you start out with standard B&M track (in the game it's called Box-Spined). You can use other track styles, such as B&M inverts...

    The classic acrade game you remember the most.

    I've recently gotten hooked on Daytona: USA, an old Sega/AM1 racing arcade game from the 90's that was recently revived with a 3rd addition to the series in 2016 called Daytona (3) Championship USA. Before my nearest retro arcade closed, they had a Daytona: USA machine and I played it non-stop...

    My First (And Last) Kings Island Halloween Haunt

    It's story time! And a particularly embarrassing one (for me)... I have for a very long time, avoided going to any haunted house, scare park, or HAUNT. Until today. I had been asked by my friend a few weeks before 10/30 if I wanted to go to Halloween Haunt with him and four other people. I...

    Kings Island: New Flat Ride in Coney Mall?

    I'm attending my first Halloween Haunt tonight (that post will come later) and while on my way to the "Killmart" I spotted this fence and the old game building being torn apart. I've heard talk about them bringing back the antique cars, could this be it? Or are we getting a new flat ride for...

    How to LEGALLY record POVs?

    So me and two of my friends have started a roller coaster YouTube channel. One day, all three of us went to Kings Island. I brought my GoPro, which was "secured" with a nice thing of twine around my neck, and we went straight to Flight of Fear. It was the start of the day, so no one was in...

    Kentucky Kingdom | Scream Xtreme | Zamperla Endeavour

    So on my second day at KK&HB, I found this sitting by Eye of The Storm... Seeing as this space is set between EoTS and a turn on Storm Chaser, I assume this will be a flat ride, or maybe a kiddie coaster? The space is tight, so there won't be anything big... Thoughts? Sent from my LG-TP260...

    Kentucky Kingdom Report

    So me and my family took a trip down to Louisville to spend time at Kentucky Kingdom. We haven't done any of the water rides or Hurricane Bay things yet, that's for tomorrow. What we did do was ride all 5 coasters (including RollerSkater, which was a pretty intense kiddie cred), get rained on...

    If you could design a coaster, what type/elements would you pick and where would it go?

    So, picture this. You've just been asked by a random manufacturer (of your choice) to design a new ride, and everything that goes into it is your choice. It can be as big or small as you want, break any record, have any name (as long as it's appropriate) you want, it's all up to you. So let's...

    Mysterious F1 looking car and possible go-kart track at Cedar Point.

    I was looking around on Instagram today and came across a post about a strange car that was covered on the outside (or inside, I can't remember) of the park. He said he saw the possible go-kart track near the halfway point (or at least the area by DA) on Millennium Force, but the photo he had...

    Coasters that REALLY stood out to you.

    We've all had those coasters that have stood out to us more than the others, even if they aren't our favorite. Personally, I haven't found one that's stood out to me. They all have their ups and downs (that was a joke), and some of them offer something that I've never experienced before. Sure...

    Rides that really disappointed you.

    As I was watching videos on the GP's take on Alton Towers' SW8 (which I didn't find much on), I wondered; Is this coaster actually going to be as cool and exciting as we think it will be? We know how Mystic Timbers turned out, great ride with a cool story but an absolutely crap shed that...

    Coasters that have become noticeably rougher in the past few years.

    I went to Kings Island last Saturday with a friend and we both agreed to ride Beast in the front car (we got the third row, the first car). The ride started and we had a bit of fun. Something seemed off, though. It was way rougher than I remember when I was in at least 7th or 6th grade. I...

    Rides you wish had never been taken down.

    I read an article by the Cincinnati Enquire about rides they wished had never left Kings Island. There's a few rides I wish had never left. King Cobra sounded like an amazing ride. So did Screamin' Demon and a few others. Enough about me, though. Name a few coasters you wish had never left a...

    Something you've always wanted to see from a park.

    I was looking through the Mystic Timbers thread and saw the theory of MT being a giga. Kings Island + Giga = Excellent in my opinion. But where would they put that? Probably X-BASE, being the most underdeveloped area in the park. But there's so many other kinds of coasters KI could stick in...

    Dumb park restrictions

    So I was looking through some articles about Alton Towers and came across the park's sound restriction. I know sound restrictions aren't dumb, and I always knew the park had a height and sound restriction, but the reasoning for the sound restriction was straight up stupid. In 2002, a couple...
