My best friend directed me to a site that has been around for a while, but I never actually took the time to browse it: Roller Coaster Database. According to the site, it has information on every roller coaster ever made.
I did a search on one of my favorite parks, Kings Island, and found a page that shows how the names of the roller coaster have changed. I think I mentioned in a previous post that Paramount was no more, so the new owners dropped the movie names. This is what they came up with:
| Name | Type | Design | Opened | Status | |
| Adventure Express | Steel | Sit Down | 4/13/1991 | Operating | |
| Backlot Stunt Coaster (Used to be Italian Job) |
Steel | Sit Down | 5/20/2005 | Operating | |
| Beast | Wood | Sit Down | 4/14/1979 | Operating | |
| Fairly Odd Coaster (Used to be The Beastie) |
Wood | Sit Down | 1972 | Operating | |
| Firehawk | Steel | Flying | 5/26/2007 | Operating | |
| Flight Deck (Used to be Top Gun) |
Steel | Suspended | 4/9/1993 | Operating | |
| Flight of Fear | Steel | Sit Down | 1996 | Operating | |
| Invertigo (Used to be Face Off) |
Steel | Inverted | 4/17/1999 | Operating | |
| Little Bill’s Giggle Coaster (Used to be Taxi Jam) |
Steel | Sit Down | 1992 | Operating | |

I’ve ridden a few of those rides before… I hate the inverted coasters. In fact once in Six Flags(I think) I rode a roller coaster called the X-Flight… gah! It was awful.
I haven’t been on vacation this whole summer, nor do I plan to. I much prefer staying here at home and sleeping. My mom and sister are going to the beach some time soon, so I get to enjoy some peace and quite. That makes me a happy little clam.
