I never even knew about the College Football Hall of Fame, where exactly was it located at in relation to Kings Island?

Ah yes we are getting closer to a pic of the elusive queue line, great photo. I was able to ride the Cobra one time before they removed it, I really do not recall much about the ride being younger. One part I really do recall is the trick track, that section was truly a very neat experience. However, I do not have any memories of waiting in line, boarding the ride, or even the ride experience itself. At least I can say I rode it before it was removed I guess.

I love how the company didn't just slap a logo on a plain t shirt instead they used the distressed look, I actually might have to look into getting one of these. I hope more logos are to come around in the future.

I had been seeing Ronny's updates on Facebook lately about this, I did not know him, unless I saw him working at the park while I was there. But this is truly sad to hear. After loving Kings Island so much and being on here it feels as if the employees are a part of your family as much as the people you spend time at the park with. Truly a sad story to hear but your all's write ups of those close to him really make me feel as if I knew him. May you rest in peace Doug, my prayers and condolences go out to your friends, family, and all those affected. As someone on this website once said, "May a path always rise to meet you, and a coaster be on your horizon." As I finished posting that I saw a picture of Doug on Facebook and do remember seeing him a couple of times. It really made me break down in tears, when you think about it this way it is really un-real. During the summer you see hundreds and hundreds of people pass through the gates at Kings Island and see only an amusement park, a place where only fun exists. But this truly shows that Kings Island is more than that, Kings Island can make bonds with people that are inseparable. It can bring people together to experience memories with friends that will last a lifetime. I am sure a lot of memories about Doug that will be shared involve time spent at Kings Island, once again, even though I did not know him, may Doug rest in peace.

Watched this video on YouTube several times, it is really nice to see how calm the commercial seems to be and the views and angles from the park are amazing to see. Thank you for posting.

Intamin Plug and Play, or an Intamin coaster with a style like Maverick. However, one of these fancy new wing riders looks pretty nice too.

Great find. I am pretty sure that is the tightrope walk mark for Wallenda.

Goodness gracious I had to switch from the tablet to the laptop so I could type this up. 1. I would love to see just some minor theming being added. Just here and there, the park could really use it. 2. Maybe put some more fans and misters in the queue lines like on Firehawk, those things really help out in the summer. 3. Give The Racer some TLC and make it look like it did in 1972. 4. Adventure Express, fix the theming and lighting in the last tunnel, at least one of the tiki men have been either out of light, or have one arm broken. 5. Offer more perks to Platinum/Gold pass holders, such as discounted pay per rides, maybe like a 5 dollar Thursday or something. Even have discounts in certain restaurants. 6. Theme the train, CP's train is a ride in itself. If I think of more I will post them later.

Thank you for posting this link. My favorite shot is either the aerial view or the removing of the letters on the sign. The aerial view is stunning at that time.

I am just going to predict that this year will be one of the most exciting years we have seen at KI in some time. New site, water park expansion and new name, new shows. I am really looking forward to 2012.

Those last two photos are really great. For the Oktoberfest photo, if I am nit mistaken aren't those the columns you can see while waiting in line for AE present day, the ones that look like they line the road? For the on ride photo of Vortex what year was this taken? I'm guessing somewhere between 1994-1997?
-
I have heard Vortex is notorious for coming loose, not significantly but noticeably during the ride. Never truly experienced this myself, just a rumor I have heard.

I missed the episode sadly, but after reading your alls reviews of it it seems that the only thing worth watching was the Boo Blaster's segment.
