Yes, I'm planning to...I wonder if I can run with my shirt off?? (yes, I am in shape! ) But I got in trouble for jogging with my shirt off on Perimeter Rd. by CPPD!!

Season Pass Upgrade Question
^^So far the CF parks I've been to this year are: CP, Geauga Lake, Dorney, MiA, Valleyfair, and Canada's Wonderland. The only problem I've had is I suspect (but cannot confirm) that my KI Platinum Pass did not scan for parking at Canada's Wonderland, however, IF it didn't they let me in anyway without a hassle. Everything else has worked like a dream though!

KI here I come....Tuesday!
Maybe 'terpy will back me up on this, but I've found the middle (nowadays) to be pretty rough, mainly during the twister finale...still nothing like Beast or SOB though!

Kinga Ka
^^Why do those pics take so long to load?? Also, another question I have is if you spent so much time at Great Adventure (2 days) how were you not able to squeeze in a front row ride on Nitro?? The good news for you, if KI gets what many think it will get, we'll have our own little Nitro in the not too distant future which we can ride all we want (including the first row!) without having to travel to NJ!! Note I say "little" because looking at KI's footprint more and more, I fear our hyper will be much shorter and smaller than Nitro (or any recently built B&M hyper out there), but at least we'll finally have a hyper and I love being proven wrong as well!!

KI here I come....Tuesday!
^^WRONG!!!!!! Try again....many agree that with the new trains, re-tracking, and speed adjustments, SOB is far more smoother than The Beast nowadays....

Founder of PKICentral.com Returns to KI!
This whole thread just needs to go away!! Please, Mods, close it now!! It's lacking sanity and coherency to say the least!! One point of commentary, I think Interpreter is the one voice of reason in most threads.

What's the policy to return merch at KI?
I am going to call KI, but since many times when talking to people there are too many Chiefs and not enough Indians when it comes to getting answers, I just thought I would post here to see if anybody's had any past experience? My receipt says nothing of a return (or exchange) policy, but my girlfriend's shirt she bought at KI is too large (and too small for me! ), and so I wanted to know if I could return it if I had a receipt, and even store credit will be fine! (or KI credit to use at a food stand even!)

Trip Report: Friday, May 30, 2008
Heh....have fun never riding it again then!!! I don't necessarily have a problem with that........ After only three years, the sprinklers don't work, the fire is apparently gone, the on ride audio never worked and I never really thought the ride was all that great to begin with. Plus, the effects entertained the kids, who now think the ride is boring without them. The ride has become an afterthought in our daily routine at the park, meaning that, we will ride it after we have done everything else, but only if the line is short. Ahhh....I see....yeah, I won't ride if it's more than 3 rails in the main queue switchback....

Fligh deck Problem May 24th
^^Honestly, The Crypt will ALWAYS have problems due to the way it was designed....think of it as KI's 21st century version of The Bat!!

Pepsi Cans and Kings Island
Dr. Pepper.....still the #1 and highest-selling soft drink in the state of Texas!!! Btw, why have so few people in Cincy heard of Mr. Pibb?? (far superior than Pepper!!)

Question About This Sunday The 1st
^^Since I believe the weather should be good, busy, but nothing outrageous....BB might be bad? I've been going to KI a TON over the past 3 years, and what I've found is that generally most days are not outrageous (nothing like many July-Aug days at CP!). Generally, the worst you're ever going to get is 1-1hr 20 mins for BLSC, 30 mins for Vortex (with full operations), 1hr 45 mins for Firehawk, 30 mins for Racer (w/ full operations), 1 hour for Delirium, SOB, Invertigo, DT, Beast, Crypt, and FOF, and maybe 45 mins for Flight Deck. In my 50+ visits in the past 3 yrs only the busiest of days (like Bring a Friend Free days!) have waits gone past 1hr 30 mins with a few exceptions (excluding Firehawk which always has a longer wait even on lighter days). It's nothing to worry about...

Cedar Point
Are you crazy?!?! July 4th week is CP's busiest of the year!!! Needless to say, the wait will be a lot longer than 45 mins then!! Good luck with this strategy!! Even though I'm 26 now and a complete enthusiast who will ride anything, up until 2001/2002 I was VERY skeptical riding anything with intensity beyond Vortex or Magnum, and as a kid at KI my parents didn't push me at all. But my dad did push my little sister, who ended up riding anything all throughout middle and high school (such as Millennium Force, Goliath, etc.). I've always heard from enthusiasts with kids that the earlier, the better!!
