Return of the King
I think that the Kings Island preview article in the Pulse Journal was MUCH better.

Something Else Old Becomes New Again
Nice picture. I don't miss Paramount.

Season Passes
I got the gold for the free parking. And I don't need to travel to other parks. I'm just a temp.

VIP jackets
They are not jackets, more like sweatshirts with vinyl material.

the physically challenged
Over the weekend I met a lady, who has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair, at a science fiction fan group meeting. She told me that she loves roller coasters and hasn’t been to Kings Island since it was still with Paramount. This lady asked me what Kings Island’s ride safety policies are for someone with her condition (cerebral palsy and in a wheel chair) so that she would know in advance: Which rides she can and cannot ride. Which rides she can enter through the exit. I was advised to get this information fron guest relations, which I will on Sunday. But does anyone know what the policies are so that I don't have to wait to long? Thanks, IC

phantom theater?
I would love to have a new, improved Phantom Theater. However, those of us who desire it are in the minority. After all, there are few geniuses in the world.

Red Racer's New Logo
Nice picture. I now look forward to riding the Red racer and the Blue racer. This is an example how an amusement park can take an existing ride, re-theme it for a minimal cost, and present it as an almost new ride. It generates excitement. Kings Island isn't Disney, but theming does matter.

Should Oktoberfest go?
The only reason I suggested removing Oktoberfest was because its German heritage is all but gone. Serving pizza and Chineese food is Festhaus it ridiculous! There should be brats, metts, hot dogs, potato pancakes, saurkrat, pretzels etc. And we ought to hear German music. And other than Viking Fury, nothing looks remotely German anymore. And for those skeptics of you who say that German food doesn't sell, visit Hofbrahaus in Newport. My first choice is to restore the German heritage to Oktoberfest. My second choice is to have it absorbed by other areas because I hate to see a themed area that lacks theming. Best regards, Italian Chef

KI Preview & Don Helbig Profile article
Sorry folks, but I cannot write about breathing next to an alcoholic because I drink so much wine that I am immune to the smell. As far as star turtles are concerned, I have requested interviews from several and they all snubbed me.

KI Preview & Don Helbig Profile article
Infosino may seem bias, but he has written 92 articles about various topics for different publications - not including the 25 he has done the past 3 weeks in for temporary staff writer job. Yes, Infosino does love amusement parks and science fiction. But he is a serious journalist. Here are a few articles from Infosino related to neither Kings Island, nor Star Wars, nor other science fiction, nor any other amusement parks: http://www.aakmagazine.com/Articles-i-2008...Age_of_Art.html http://www.aakmagazine.com/1editorialbody....p;-token.subpub http://www.aakmagazine.com/1editorialbody....;-token.subpub= http://www.aakmagazine.com/1editorialbody....p;-token.subpub http://archive.cinweekly.com/blog/2006/11/...ories.asp#links http://www.pulsejournal.com/search/content...familymain.html http://www.pulsejournal.com/search/content...91406loop1.html http://citybeat.com/2005-07-13/onstage.shtml http://www.cincinnati.com/freetime/100104_create.html http://www.cincinnati.com/freetime/102904_create.html

What is the worst roller coaster you have ever been on. EVER?
SOB. That thing hurt and doesn't belong in The Beast family. I think The Beast brought home the wrong baby from the hospital.
