What else is new, SoB didnt open till "Early June" last year due to "major retracking". They can take as long as the want to fix it in my book, everytime I got off of it last year, SoB earned its nickname. I would get off and say "Son of a B**** my neck!"

Idk, too me it is not all that important that the Rollercoasters be completely diverse. Its nice to have all different styles of rides. If its chain lift, inverted, woodie, steelie, suspended, LIM and it is exciting to ride, then I see no reason to limit different types of coasters!

Ok, will they go any more indepth on some of the job positions than they do online? Cuz I would like to know a little more about some of them!

Ok, I am going to the job fair on Feb 17th, and had some simple questions for those who may know! I could apply online right now but I would like to apply at the job fair, and see exactly where I would like to work in the park, if selected. Can somebody please tell me what exactly will happen at the JF? I really have no clue, and although im not nervous persay it is just really new to me, and am wondering what may happen once I'm there.

I hope your not with that stuff lol

Thats what I was thinking, because the show ran from 68-70 and KI wasnt open til 1972 as we all know, also from watching that video, I felt that the Midway shot looked much to wide to be KI's. I know that it used to be manacured that nice, but I couldn't help but think that that was Coney Island. It would make sense for the movie to be shot at KI in 72 however, too bad that we dont have any clips of that.

The two rides that I remember from my very first visit, to KI and the only ones I remember for that matter are Days of Thunder and the Flying Eagles!

see, I really dont have a problem with Firehawk, I would much rather have the ride named after a plane or "Darkstar" I like that one, but I wouldnt mind if it was named Firehawk. I think "Dogfight" would be neat but I dont know how many people would understand that. Or maybe "MIG" or "Bogey". I do kinda like "MIG"

I will second that nomination we still need to create a group dedicated to "Putting the Coney back in Coney Mall" That area of the park has lost the reason why it is Coney Mall.

I must say that the best train that I have ever been on is The train that rides around Busch Gardens Africa (Tampa Bay, FL). I love all the stops and the scenery, you can see all the animals as well, and it is a great place to see the whole parks. Everytime that I visit Busch Gardens the very first thing that I get on is the Train! lots of other people will tell you that too! Its just a nice relaxing trip around the park. And after the train, Rhino Rally!

um..hopefully I'll be working there, and I live only 30 minutes away as well, straight down 741! I can't wait!

I would love to see a heavy dose of Fog piped up through the valley type area where Top Gun is, I think that would be really nice to go zooming through not just the terrain but through some fog that imitated a cloudy atmosphere as well.

I think Shman is referring to the fact that it will be indeed titled "Firehawk", since he was reffering to the earlier pages! I don't know if that is the right name or not...but perhaps the troll new of what he spoke? Also, in regards to the fog/mist issue...when you go down that dark tunnel on IJ:ST isnt that tunnel really foggy or Misty? I always cant see anything and find it to be very cool/misty in there.

So I had a nice long detailed, non-inflammatory post explaining my opinion, that took me a long to write....and it got deleted. Why did this happen? I didn't violate ant T.O.S no cursing nothing, just a nice long post... and it got deleted..why?

THOSE days are gone...sorry I had too, I grew up with Paramount, and quite Frankly, I like FOF, Top Gun, IJ:ST, SoB, Face/Off, Avatar, Reptar.I believe if you look at it, half of the ride lineup is Paramount ERA now of course the themed areas of the park have suffered, but as far as rides are concerned, we have attempted to keep up with the Jones's and I gladly defend Paramount for that!

Woofer must hate FOF then

Thats a good question, never really thought about it, but if I had to kinda guess I would say that when you go from first drop to second drop your train is sort facing Off with itself or something like that, that is about all that I can draw!

The first time that I ever saw fireworks at King's Island was during Fourth of July about 3 years ago. We stood approx where the Demonic Christmas thing was during Fear Fest of course it wasnt there on Fourth of July but that was the area, sort of by Subway, Skyline and Monster and the Football game in Coney Maul. The last time that I saw fireworks, I was at the top of the lift on Vortex....Simply AMAZING!

I originally voted no on the question but it wasnt a No it was a half yes/no. I have grown up with the Paramount Park and Didn't actually have a season pass until 2002, other than that my visits were quite sporadic. I always liked that the rides were movie themed just like the big cahunas in WDW and what used to be Universal, but it didnt occur to me until now that things really dont fit like they should. After reading all your posts, I would like to see movie theming and current theming to go by the wayside, If we are gonna go for landscaping than we need to do it right, and if we were gona go for movie themes than we should have done that right! so I change me vote to Yes remove the theming, I am for a complete revamping!

I say that we all start a group of "Enthusiasts dedicated to put the 'Coney' back in Coney Mall"! I'll get right on top of it

Exactly!

ugh, Festhaus, we love to hate it, but it has so much history indeed!

Part of me agrees and the other part doesnt, I would leave only a couple, I hate the site of the things. They used to have a whole vending machine row lining a path at Columbus Zoo many years ago, they have sense done away with all of them but a handful in strategic locations. The thing I do like about them, is that I didnt feel like walking down to subway to get a bottle of water, and I didnt want any water out of the drinking fountain, so It was right there and I attempted to buy an overpriced bottle of Dasani Water to quench my thirst. Of course that ended in me getting that Vault. You are right, they are inefficient too! I just changed my mind, Take the things out! I think?

Actually it isnt as clearly defined as you state in your post, you are right there are misters and foggers. But there are a variety of actual foggers, some use a special chemical that once mixed with blown heat creates a smoky effect! and some just blow on Dry ice. Then there are misters that condense water vapor and then through some internal workings spit it back out. And then you have the cheapest of all misters that just spit out water from a hose at extremel high pressure through a tiny grated hole. I had to get some of this stuff for a school project, lol

Looks like just another big water-slide to me
