What happened to Invertigo at Kings Island (This is towards the front of the park. It's yellow and red.)? Was it running?
For Cedar Point, it may have the most roller coasters in the world, but it also has so many flat rides. It's not like Magic Mountain, where they have so many coasters, but there aren't that many flats. There are around 25 flats in that park that are for adults. It does have a lot of older flats though that have been at the park for awhile. I would say the newer ones are Chaos, Skyhawk, and Max Air. |

Yeah, it was running throughout the day. We just didn't go on it; we've all been on Invertigo and unfortunately since we had only one day there and the line can tend to be pretty time consuming, we decided to pass on it. |

Such Fun!What a fun trip that was!... and it was great hearing our conversation again even if it was trimmed down a bit.So, when are we gonna go back? After five theme parks in five days in four states, I was ready to take a break, but now, after hearing the podcast, I'm rarin' to go again! |

^Hahaha! Great to hear Urso. I have to admit I was a little timid about posting this episode in the condition it is in (still am a little worried  )... This one goes a little beyond the PG style show we usually present. However, we had such a good time, that I feel most of the audience will allow a "screw you" here or a risqué comment there because it's all in good fun and no harm was intended.
Thanx for being a part of it and yes... We need to plan our next Trek! |

Great As It IsI think it's great as it is.You have that warning and regular listeners know by now that the audio after the end music is the "outtakes" section. There is far "naughtier" content on prime time television. Even though I was there and knew what we were going to say, I found myself laughing out loud. It will certainly be an episode to be remembered. I think, like many episodic shows, the best ones are ones that allow for a great range of tone and topics. I think having episodes with serious technical/business discussions mixed in with fun, lighthearted ones like this one, makes the show stronger and far more compelling. You never know what you're going to get each week. |

The Funnest podcast yet. You guy's are great, it's a trip to hear how much fun you all had.
Doug is there chance we will hear the on board audio swear feast ride though? 
Doug you mention your rode stealth at Great America. When I was doing my Star Trek movie and ride review post I found out that stealth was moved to Carowinds, NC to became The Borg Assimilator and later re-theme NightHawk. You and I rode the same ride at different periods of time. How ironic.  Well, I like the ride but I agree that Manta and Tatsu are going to be the best in country. I can't wait to ride them soon, I hear nothing but top praise and joy about those rides.
What was the beer your wife like? Are your a domestic or import drinker? Great podcast, All of you guy's had that special chemistry just like Coaster Radio. Awesome. 
Hey Wylder. Awesome to hear from you and your wife. I love the Battlestar Galactica shout out you gave. Are you guy's a fan of both the classic and new version? Are you looking forward to the prequel Capica show? Anyway what do you think of the Battlestar Galactica coasters being built at Singapore. Are you going to try to make down there? I'm trying somehow
Urso you are a machine sir. My hat off to you sir, for your Roller Coaster theme park odyssey. You truly are a great roller coaster seeker. I don't think I could do that much that fast.
The rest of you guy's are great. I hope to hear from all of you in more podcast. Hey someone mention Rollercoaster the movie. Did anybody do the Coaster Radio commentary to the movie? It's seem's all of you were hitting the same button. Pardon the pun.

Great to hear the review. It was a great deal of fun. I forgot just how out of control it got there for a while.
Stingray, I like both old and new Battlestar. Grew up with the old version, so it does hold a special place in my heart. |

It's called Wailua Wheat Ale with passion fruit......I got it at Whole Foods.....mmmmm yummy......I think I'm gonna go have it now. | ||
| Doug_Barnes |
Hahahaha, only Shawn (who rode beside me) will know the "on-ride" audio of me on Son of Beast... poor guy. You rode the aftermath of Stealth; was it a "clunky" experience in Carowinds? After I rode it in Great America I would have sworn it was built like a giant k'nex set! Tatsu forever RULEZ! Shannon was drinking a special Hef Blend from Kona. I drink both Domestic and Import, however I am a big time Micro Brew guy. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, New Castle, Corona, etc. - It's all good my friend. |

Awesome show guys! I couldn't stop laughing. I definitely need to hit up KI this year. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep up the good work! | ||

Great podcast guys.
I went there in '07, right towards the end of the Paramount reign, and remember seeing any merchandise with the paramount name on it being sold at an incredible discount. I enjoyed the park, but obviously with the addition of Diamondback, the park experience is probably a little better now. One thing's for sure, Son of Beast is by far the worst coaster I've ever been on. After being jack-hammered in the back during that helix, all I wanted was for the ride to end so I could get off. Unfortunately, there was still over a minute to go. Just plain terrible. |

^Thank you all for the kind words. We had an absolute blast recording this one and the response has been crazy positive. I've received more feedback on this episode (emails, facebook, forums, voicemail, etc.) than any other. We'll make sure to put an "After Park Review Podcast" on the MUST-DO list for each TSPP trip.
However, it's not possible without the listeners... Darrell, Deanna and Shawn were instrumental for this recording! We'll keep all of you up to date for future Season Pass Meets and hopefully some of you can meet up with us for the next "APRP." (all of you around Williamsburg & Doswell VA... keep your ears open) Thanx Again! |
