KI_LIFER

I was born on April 13 1979, so I have to go with The Beast. On my birthday or Beast's. Better yet, I could start the ride on mine and end it on Beast's. Yea that would work.

Its still kind of there. Its near Middletown on Rt. 4, I think.

I miss the log ride, the Kings Mill one, not the keel boats. I miss being able to fit in Beastie, last time I rode it I thought I was going to fall out. The antiques were sweet. And the RR before it was made a transport to water works. Enchanted Voyage was always a nice way to get out of the heat. Have they put anything where the dolphin show was, last I saw it was closed and ugly?

The landscaping does make a huge difference. It adds a nice calming feel to a long day. The roaming performers are nice. I just hope they use a five year PLAN and don't just jump in to make a big splash. FH was big enough, now get it right.

I have been checking out the site for awhile now and decided to join. This seemed like a good topic to start with. KI is pretty much the only park I have been to and I have been a bunch. Save for a trip to Florida as a child. The stuff that has been said is good. The theming needs fixed, Oktoberfest is nothing anymore, as well as RT. RT doesn't fit the name anymore. I would like to see a water thrill ride again, not something like Amazon Falls, or whatever its called now. It would add a family thrill ride outside of NU. The food thing could use some major work, whats wrong with having a nice eat in. The coaster thing is pretty good with the addition of FH. It doesn't matter if it is used. I have never rode it, last time I went up north it was Sea World and that was the early 80s. I will avoid it though, since it will have horrid lines. A big steel coaster would be good. Vortex is nice, but there have been major advances since it was built. I just hope they don't move stuff out to make room for new things, i.e. the log flume. How 'bout re-theming the RR like it used to be! I always liked the gun fights.
