Kings Island Photos
« on: May 11, 2009, 11:20 »
I got all of the photos up from this past weekend.  We had pretty crappy skies for the first half of the day but some of them still turned out pretty good.

Here's some other shots from the trip.  We visited the Cincy Zoo and Churchill Downs in Louisville.





ERT!

Ben's right.  I dig the walk back tours.

This one was a bit shorter than the one during Coaster Con a couple of years back.  They took us all the way to the back turn around at that event.  This year's basically ended at the 2nd drop.  It seemed like there were 300 of us back there.

More photos are rolling in from KI.  If you gave them your email address they would send you your onride photos from the ERT session.

Janessa and I tried to pull off a kiss but the forces were too great.  I apparently lack the correct amount of strength in my core.  It might look like she's trying to bite my face off but we were actually laughing because we couldn't reach each other.

I really think that everyone looks funny on this sucker.  It really is pretty dramatic.

Nice pictures Jason! The ride looks great and I assume it was a good ride to? I'm curious to how this ride turned out because it looks amazing and usually any B&M ends up being just all around awesome!

It's very awesome.  I decided to put at #3 on my list, which consists of 245 coasters.  Voyage and X are the only one's that I've got ahead of it.

The air time is unbelievable.

That's what I expected out of Diamondback. Thanks for the feedback Jason. It's got me pysched to try out Diamondback, I sadly wont get to try it this year but maybe next year ya never know. How was the water splash. I've been on SheiKra and Manta and those are the only two water splashes I've been on. I can only assume that the water splashdown on Diamondback is a sight to see and experience, especially in back row because if it's anything like SheiKra you'll get wet from the splash.

Sorry forgot to check the guide.

lol.  I don't expect you to remember where everyone has gone in the past year. 
Shoot that's the reason we even do PTRs to begin with -- so we can remember where we went that year and when.
