The last ride....
The Eiffel Tower. That way I can look around at each ride and remember the last time I was on it.

When did you start going to KI and where did you hear about KIC?
Opening day 1972, I was having withdrawals from missing my beloved Galaxi (Bavarian Beetle) and just had to ride it. Of course my girl friend soon to be wife thought I was crazy and that opinion of me has not changed. I discovered the web site while I was in Germany about 2 years ago, I was browsing rcdb.com and decided to take a look at some of the fan sites listed at the different parks. Good or bad here I am.

Camp Grounds
Modern day M.A.S.H. units are tents and they have portable chillers and cooling towers to go with them (a chiller and cooling tower is a large a.c. unit for large buildings). They usually are set up with several tents (about 10 grouped together) to form a complete hospital. Also there was a tent at the Bass pro shop that had a space to fit a window a.c. unit, but I did not get the make on the tent.

what they should do for 2008.
I would like to see an out and back without the back. With the new seat belts going in on some of the coasters, some people will have to loos some weight to fit. I was thinking of starting it next to top gun and running it along the front of the park all the way out to the southern most corner of the south lot. Have a fence so you have to walk all the way back to the entrance of the coaster. We could call it the Richard Simmons coaster.

JEAN-ROBERT AT PIGALL'S
Wonderfull news italianchef, i'm glad you had a great time. I did one up you though, I was afforded the oppertunity to dine at Le Jules Verne on the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower. Although I did not get away with a 4 course meal for 2 under $300,(it was actualy $386 or 288 euro) I was able to dine in shorts and sport shirt. I have had several business dinners at Jean-Robert at Pigall's and I thought the service was better than Le Jules Verne, but every where you go in Paris it is very laid back and hard to find good service for Americans. I hope your new job works out for you good luck.

What's open on Opening Weekend?
Well it dose, and there is a posibility that that guy has not been to the park since they painted it all white. However unlikely depending on who you are talking about. Also I would just like to add that the front gate will be open on opening day.

Cool new coaster
Only one running is in the Netherlands and that is 2 years old, and one is under construction on the Gold cost. It will open latter this year.

Cool new coaster
Been there done that. And yes it is cool. A little slow but a whole different feeling. Did a service call for Vekoma to the Netherlands. I am surprised a U.S. park has not gotten one yet. Intamin's version is faster, but I don't think they have the guts to do any thing different for the track lay out. http://www.rcdb.com/ig2747.htm

Is Kings Island Haunted?
Most Structure decay is due to climate. Most building materials expand and contract with the weather, that is why we put climate control systems (furnace and A/C) in buildings. Also proper maintenance such as paint or stain on the exterior of the structure is crucial. So if you are saying that if someone dies in a house, the house will die with them if no one occupies it, then you are correct. After all, I think it will be hard for a ghost to maintain a house.

Is Kings Island Haunted?
^There is a story about Coney that my mother would tell me on the way to the park, about the river ghosts. She would never call them ghosts, she would just say "the ones who never made it to shore" I would laugh about it until one day I was in the middle of telling one of my friends the story and I stopped because of what was behind the Moonelite pavilion. Let's just say the lighting was not that great, because I do not believe in ghosts, a paranormal occurrence possibly but not ghosts. Now at Kings Island, I was doing some work in the lower control room of FOF and that phone would ring and when you answered it there was no one there just static. I unplugged the phone and it rang when they launched the ride, I moved it across the room and it stopped, but when it was plugged in it just rang at random launch or no launch. I thought it was a fun game, I just did not know who I was playing with.

Park Accidents.
Be careful on how you read those reports, they are just simple statements with very little info. Do your research on any that you are interested in. Don't just take one or two web sites word for it.

Background Music
Star Trek Theme and Superman Theme played long before Paramount. The big one was a song called Flight of the Phoenix I believe. Time to restore the area musics. Flight of the Bumble Bee is the name of the song although I do like the movie Flight of the Phoenix!!!!!!

(David Gilmour) Momma loves her baby, and daddy loves you too. And the sea may look warm to you babe And the sky may look blue But ooooh babe Ooooh baby blue Oooooh babe. (Roger Waters) If you should go skating On the thin ice of modern life Dragging behind you the silent reproach Of a million tear-stained eyes Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice Appears under your feet. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind With your fear flowing out behind you As you claw the thin ice. (David Gilmour) Ooooooh, Babe. Now we are off topic!!!!! Or are we??????????
