But they do have the swinging cars

Changes Coming to The Park?
I haven't rode the Sunwheel so I really can't suggest it. But MaliBOOMer, which is right by it, is good fun.

Brady Bunch at Kings Island!
I thought someone posted links the that episode on YouTube a while ago. I watched the first 2 parts and then the 3rd part was removed so I never got to finish it. Nick used to always run the Pop Up Video version of that episode. Those were the days...

Changes Coming to The Park?
One of the biggest mistakes that Disney did with the Magic Kingdom was turn ExtraTERRORestial Alien Encounter into that stupid Stitch ride. That was the last thing they've done to it I believe... pretty disappointing. Disneyland is still really fun. You HAVE to ride Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye, Space Mountain since they re-did it in 2005 (it is a lot more exciting now), Soarin' (like you said), California Screamin', and Tower of Terror.

Son Of Beast still worth riding?
Spend the $125 from my Maxx Pass and $35 from my season parking pass.

Changes Coming to The Park?
Disney does have a lot of older rides, yes, but their newer rides are pretty sweet. Rock n' Roller Coaster is so much smoother than FoF and it has themeing around the track in the building, Mission:Space feels like lift off (so says actual astronauts), Soarin' is one of Disney's most popular rides (feels like hang gliding over CA), and I don't know if any other company has $100M to put down on a ride like Disney did on Expedition Everest. I love the fact that CF decided to start building themed coasters like Maverick. I can't wait to ride it. And it makes me even more excited since they now own KI and we'll hopefully be receiving a nicely themed while still thrilling coaster.

Changes Coming to The Park?
I totally agree with you. Sometimes it seems like the rides at KI were placed randomly (an Indian Jones themed ride (AE) in Oktoberfest, IJ in Coney Mall, TR:TR in Rivertown, Scooby-Doo on International Street, and anything in Action Zone since I don't feel that "Action" is a theme unless the rest of KI was just benches and scenery). Hopefully CF can try to re-theme KI some what because one of the reasons that Disney stands out in my mind (among many many things) is their intense themeing and attention to detail.

How is the park usually on fridays?
Nice. That sounds like a plan that I'll have to take full advantage of Friday. I've only been to one so far (Action Zone) but I already love the early ride times.

6/1 Night Report
And if you ever want to get people pumped up (like in The Beast Station at night), start a slow clap.

Excuse me, did you just say (technically type) 37?

Son Of Beast still worth riding?
Hanging down from the restaints, facing the ground, The Interpreter said, "I certainly would not want to ride Son of Beast like Firehawk!" The Interpreter, who will be somewhere all week Haha, very nice . Of course I meant "as much as."

Wings Buffet?
That's what I thought but I wasn't sure because there weren't any signs up that had a price for it.
-
Wings Buffet?
Is alcohol included with the Wings Buffet? Because I saw a frig behind the counter at Wings full of bottles of beer with no sign of a price. I, myself, am not of age but my brother, who is, didn't ask.

Blue Ice Cream
Ah, okay. I think I know where you're talking about.
-
Son Of Beast still worth riding?
I wasn't able to ride SOB before because my friend couldn't fit into the seats comfortably so hopefully I'll be able to ride it when it reopens but I have no strong feeling about riding it like Firehawk.

Starlight Admission ... Why?
Really? Because there's no way I would pay that much for Starlight hours.

Blue Ice Cream
Where is it in Action Zone? I've been to the one in Nickelodeon Universe.

Flight of Fear
Yeah there are quite a few people that go to KI that have no idea what's going on. I was in the process of walking into the queue for The Beast earlier this year when a teenage girl in front of me was on the phone and was ending her conversation by saying that she was about to go on SOB. Maybe she was too enthralled in the conversation to see the huge Beast sign.

2008 attractions.
Very well put. We have to be patient but I think (based on Kinzel's comments about KI) we will all be here in several years with huge smiles when CF announces their next major plan of addition for KI.
-
Flight of Fear
I don't think I really mind it at all but at first I thought the ride broke down and we were going to get stuck at the top. So I was kind of mad we kept going

6/1 Night Report
I noticed that the ride ops did seem a lot friendlier. I received several high fives last night as well as the guy on the PA at The Beast at night was singing, "If you're gonna ride The Beast and you know it, clap your hands. If you're gonna ride The Beast and you know it, clap your hands. If you're gonna ride The Beast, 'cause The Beast is freakin sweet... If you're gonna ride The Beast, yell real loud." It was pretty awesome.

Flight of Fear
Yes, I did notice that.

Flight of Fear
Really? I don't remember it happening Saturday (Firehawk opening). But then again I was on the first ride of the day but I don't know if that would matter.

Nice. I was there yesterday too and the only wait that my friends and I had was on Firehawk where we waited about an hour and a half. Everything else was basically walk on. I'm going again next Friday early and I was wondering if anyone knew if X-Base opens early with Coney Mall since Fridays are early open there for Gold Pass holders.
