Myths
I heard that origionally Delirium was going to be themed to an inverted log flume, this is true, ask any supervisor in the Action Zone. Also I heard that due to the magnitisim of the breaks on drop zone, people with difibrulators, pacemakers, or steal plates in their bodies are no longer past the festhaus, or the paramount theater or else their bodies will get plastered up against the tower. I heard that Vortex was going to be completely filpped upside down and get wild mouse flying trains on it and be themed to mardi gras. (because of when the girls are upside down and people look up, lol, JK) Oh and action theater is getting a porno for the other side. Sorry if I offend anyone, but I have seriously heard these things, duh they're false but still fun.

your first coaster at PKI
I cant vote in this one, lol, my first coaster was the Scooby Zoom, AKA now Top Cats Taxi Jam. My first time to KI was winterfest when I was like 5.

Boomerang Bay
They've been saying that they are going to have a lot less concrete and a lot more sand. Does anyone know where the sand is going to go because I could see this a major problem with people getting sand stuck to their feet then going on the rides and the pumps getting overwhelmingly full of the sand.

Cicadas, What can KI do.
Wow, that I didn't know, thanks for the info, this june may not be as plesant as one may have hoped.
-
Cicadas, What can KI do.
Yea even in KI alone, think about how much has changed since, well Vortex was put in. Wow thats a lot. I think probably the worst place will be back in the woods where The Beast is just cause its been really undisturbed. I could see someone on The Beast getting hit by a cicada while riding. LOL the next Fabio story

Cicadas, What can KI do.
Obviously this is the year of the cicadas and I kno this has got some people all worried and want KI to do something about it but really what can they do. I kno a lady in the communications and she said she has had numerious calls from guests concerned with the cicadas this year. I dont know what these people want KI to do. Just talk about this, if you have any thoughts or input on the situation please post.

2004
Yea I get it now, I just wasnt sure cause u kno like FOF always used to have four trains before the new restraints, they would only run three at a time but they still had four. I just wasnt sure is somewhere there was a reserve beast train.
-
2004
Oh and who here remembers when Drop Zone first opened, the very first year, it went around twice while climbing the tower. Like you were rotating almost the entire way up the tower, instead of now where you do one rotation to where you go halfway up and then just go straight up.
-
2004
When did beast ever have 4 trains?? And hey, who can forget missing winterfest, yea good times. However, rumors, rumors, rumors, about winterfest. Oh and the totally awesomely sweet old que line on top gun with the misslies and the cockpit and everything. yea good times

Season Pass Processing
Seriously how does KI expect everyone to get a gold pass before may 23 if they're not gonna be open all the time. Seems like right now at least untill after may 23 Kings Island should be processing passes when its convienent for the guests not when its convienent for KI.
-
Season Pass Processing
Wow yea that really sucks, I could see that really ****ing some people off. Especially when KI wants everyone to get a season pass? This seems like prime time to keep the processing place open as much as possible. If those are indeed the only dates it is open then I must admit that is a bad move on KI's part.

fearfest
Yea its pretty good, it has been better, like the first year was by far the best year cause the attractions were the best. Like the Terror Tower, The mummys crypt that was in the enchanted theater in HB was awesome and the one in Phantom theater was awesome. Plus the first year they had the theme of, "at _:__ o'clock, the park gets struck by lightning, the whole park goes dark, emerging from the darkness come the most terrafying creatures on the face of the earth." and they actually followed that, at i think Eight O'Clock There was a huge firework that shot off the Eiffel Tower that looked like a bolt of lightning and every light in the park went out for about 30 seconds, then out of the shops and such on international street came all of the "creatures" I must admit, that year was worth the 17 bucks at Blockbuster. However when they tried to move it all to coney mall, I think it all went down hill. Seriously probably the best move they could have made last year was make it free with admission. But hopefully good things are in the future.

Eiffel Tower
Yea, um, Im definately gonna have to disagree with you there tanner, I know for a fact that I was in the top of the Eiffel Tower in paris on march 31. I could prove it cause I have pics of me there but I still dont know how to put a picture from my comp in my post.
-
Eiffel Tower
Seriously I dont doubt that the KI Effile Tower Could fit under the real thing and yea its freaky to see it sway. Does anyone kno how to upload a picture from my computer into a post? I have a couple awesome pictures of the effile tower in paris when they light it up. Every hour on the hour 8-11 for 10 min (9-9:10) they turn on 20,000 little strobe lights on the effile tower and it is totally awesome, KI should think about that. But yea how do u upload pics?

Do you like the idea of having Dj's in the line?
Yea, not that the 80's were bad or nething but we really should get some new music.
-
Do you like the idea of having Dj's in the line?
Its cool I understand, Im sorry if I came off to be harsh.
-
Do you like the idea of having Dj's in the line?
Dude, ur crazy, there arent any trees to block the sound at AZ, from SOB greeter, I can hear the phone ring at both sides of Skyflier, Dot and Dropzone, mind you thats with the music playing in AZ. Seriously all the music would clash together. CP has the trees and there is a much greater distance between rides. One reason why we can have music on Top Gun is cause its so far back that you cant hear it from anywhere else.

The Italian Job
Coney because if nothing else, they need it to bring a little more life into it, im not sayin that it is dead or anything but I think KI needs to kinda take a step away from the "coney island"genre theyre tryin to go for. (cause i mean really, how well does fof go in coney island?)
-
Do you like the idea of having Dj's in the line?
Yea I agree with shadow cause at Action theater last year, OMG that 14min 36sec spongebob music that just loops and loops was terrible. Plus music is one thing, but DJ's, I mean really. Like the soundtrack that loops at Gun is ok cause its like 8 songs (that can still get annoying sometimes tho but at least we can turn it off) but I think DJ's is kinda over the top. And boxcar racer is right, AZ for example with 9 different music themes clashing at one time would be bad.
-
fearfest
Yea but what do u expect, this past year Fearfest started at 3pm and was free with your entrance into the park. Yea there may have been a little more of an incentive to make it more thrilling when KI was getting 20bucks a head for fearfest. And seriously Route 666 has the be the coolest fearfest attraction I have ever experienced.

Easter Sunday 2004
Yea but what about threatining to kill someone, not quite the best thing for an associate to say to a guest mr. steve.

Scariest PKI moment.
That depends on your interperation of the word Crashed cause I mean cars bump each other all the time and hit the guard rails. Omg last year workin at AT Bside the roughest show ever, ooo big problems w/that ride. Yea I just have way to many memories, id be typin for hours and no one would read it, i sure wouldnt.

Happy Birthday Adventure Express!
Yea, I think its nice to celebrate the life of a coaster. Ive ridden I think 4 mine train coasters and Adventure Express is by far the best. It used to be better like when they had all the themeing like the weird noises, im not sure if theyre still there, but they also had the fog and lights but they had to stop with that cause it was rusting the tracks and causing some of the wood to start to loose its stability. LOL weird fact: did you know that Ron Tumer of Arrow Dynamics got the Idea of the Mine Train coaster while watching a movie, (dont remember what) in which a gold mine was involved and, at one point a guy got into a mine train and started to ride it but it got out of control. He thought it might be fun so he invented the "Runnaway Mine Train Coaster." (same thing with the log flume, the guy was watching a documentary on logging and lumberjacks and how at the end of the night they would ride the logs down the hill in the big long water flumes they built and he thought it looked like fun)
