1972 construction video.
I was just thinking this. While I am perfectly happy with what Kings Island is, it must have been meant to be so much more. I noted the guy talking about the golf courses across the highway and mini golf at the campground as well as nature trails there. Does anyone want to elaborate on those for me? As far as I know, they didn't ever exist.

WV's Waves of Fun Waterslides Painted to Match
I'm sure this is a riddle of some sort, and I don't get it.

WV's Waves of Fun Waterslides Painted to Match
Well, they got it wrong. Winfield's official colors are green and black. My church rented out the wave pool and slides for a party last year, and it's not a bad community pool. I had never been on the slides before then, and they're fun. Glad to see they are getting some TLC.

Cable Wakeboarding Park Coming to Fairfield, OH
I did as well. I believe it was said more than once, so perhaps it is the name of a wake boarding trick.

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
I usually do not post that often, but I would just like to say that if Diamondback's splashdown is anything like Sheikra at BGA, it's hardly noticeable, unless riding in the back where you may get lucky and feel some mist. In my opinion, it's more of an aesthetic feature than one for thrills, especially compared to the dive machines where the majority of the rows are hanging over the pool. The rooster tails really are mystifying in perosn though as I could watch Sheikra cycle all day, and that will most likely have to do until this summer You hit the nail right on the head. Diamondback's splashdown has nothing to do with getting wet, it's all about how it looks from the outside. So does that make it safe to judge this book by it's cover since it is about how it looks from the outside? Wow, it's late and I'm tired. I'm sorry for the above post. Ignore me.

I have a feeling those geese won't hang around with the trains splashing past.

What's the scariest ride you've ridden at KI?
Ferris Wheel at CP. No joke, it terrified me because I knew that at any moment I could open the door. I prefer to be strapped into a ride unable to remove the safety devices. That, and ski lifts. Back in December, I went to Snowshoe with my friends who are all avid skiers and I am a beginner. I terrified me every time we got on a lift, and nobody put down the safety bar.

There is a better gas station/convenience store than Sheetz? I refuse to believe it.

Perhaps they are just fine tuning the transfer system? That, or it's the coolest $22,000,000 toy ever made.

Imagine the possibilities. "Hey, Bob. Let's take the train, turn it around backwards and put it back on the track. That will really mess with 'em."

Probably combination emergency exit along with employee access. So I guess in the event of an emergency...it could be.
