9 Rides You Hated to See Leave Kings Island
Phantom Theater.

show your craziest onride photos
Haha, That's me in the Cincinnati shirt. I was scared outta my mind. First time I had rode it.

Guests Say The Darnest Things
My favorite is still a guest saying that while we were about to get on SOB that a deer was going to jump out of nowhere and hit us. I was just like "Who thinks like that?!"

worst trip to the park I ever had...
I didn't think the park was all that packed honestly.. Sure it was kind of busy, but it wasnt terrible either.

Return of the King
I'm gonna have to disagree with this statement. I constantly saw times when Top Gun had a 30+ minute wait last season. Maybe this wasn't typical, but everytime I rode Top Gun, this was the case.

Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle
Oh, okay. I think I'm just kind of bitter that it replaced Phantom Theater. Lol.
-
Racer
Lol, this is true. I never see a line for The Racer but I always see at least some kind of line on recaR

What should be done with the Paramount Story?
Woot Woot I never rode the Eagles... as far as I can remember... So I don't know what was so great about them =[ The way you guys all talk about them makes me wish I had ridden them.

Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle
So, I have always wondered why Scooby Doo and The Haunted Castle actually exists at the park. It's inside of Nick Universe right? But Scooby Doo has nothing to do with Nickelodeon(as far as I know...)
-
Racer
Lol, I like the backward racer more. I like the fact that I can't see where I'm going. More thrilling for me. Lol, my friend and I were going up the lift hill on it and we were just having a conversation and all of a sudden we both were screaming. Lol, we forgot about the ride and before we knew it, we were off. It was hilarious.

Should Oktoberfest go?
Honestly, I wish that they would up the theming of the Festhaus and have some German food in there rather than LaRosa's, as much as I like it... Even the chinese restraunt... which the name has slipped my mind at the moment... That's the most ridiculous restraunt in there in my honest opinion. If they remove Oktoberfest, pretty soon, as stated earlier in this thread I believe, Coney Mall would go, then Rivertown would disappear and then Kings Island would just be a clutter of rides with no theming to them what so ever. It would seem just like a big overpriced carnival and it would be rather boring... Just my 2 cents on this.

Then and Now
Honestly, You have only been to the park twice since I've been born. I was around for the end of the Hanna Barbara era at Kings Island. I like Nick Universe better than I liked Hanna Barbara Land. I like the park more now than I did when I was younger. This might account for the fact that I was too young to truly enjoy the park though. Obviously everyone has their own opinions and preferences. Lol, the only true complaint about Kings Island I have about Kings Island now is that food prices are about as bad as gas prices. Oh and I have a complaint about Tomb Raider. Lol, I think it's just waste of space and too unreliable. It's down more than it runs. Much like SoB, but hopefully that's been settled and SoB will stay up and running and continuing to give some good and bearable rides.

Hmmm, Isn't that Delirium? Or are you looking at something different than I am?

Kings Island Music
Haha, listening to the Phantom Theatre one's brought back memories.... Just like Cedar Fair should bring it back =]

Should Oktoberfest go?
But as for if Oktoberfest should go? No it shouldn't... I'd explain, But I have to leave to go to work..

Should Oktoberfest go?
It's not real ice cream?! HE LIED TO ME!!! Edit.. I don't know what the heck I read, but I read it wrong. Lol

Kings Island to Have New Ride Names & New Parking Lot Sign for the 2008 Season, Kings Island Wants YOU for Their 2008 Entertainment Lineup & More
That does look like a cool logo, but i don't think the colors match. (unless....) Flight Deck is a halfway decent name for a ride, As Stated somewhere in these forums, "Most people don't even call them by their names." (or something along those lines.) You're kidding right? Flight Deck is a pretty bad name for the ride experience itself. Maybe the station... but not the ride itself. No, considering that most people don't care for the name,.. Just because they don't care about the name doesn't make it a good name...

Should Oktoberfest go?
Well.... I heard from the Dip 'n Dots guy that it IS authentic Italian Cuisine. Does that count as it actually being authentic?

How do you feel about the new ride names?
Hmmm I don't really mind the renaming... It doesn't change the ride really... Just my personal opinion.

the phantom theater
Oh man, I miss Phantom Theater so much.

Whats the funniest rumor youv'e ever heard?
Lol, I have no idea... I was in line for SoB during Halloween Haunt and some guy was talking about how a deer was gonna jump out and hit him while riding SoB.... I truly hate stupid people.
-
Whats the funniest rumor youv'e ever heard?
LOL, I was standing in line for Delirium once and I heard someone mention that once all the restraint systems gave out and everyone fell out of the ride and died. I just stared at the kid for 20 seconds and when he looked over I just shook my head.. Thats crazy. I love hearing some of these things when waiting in line because it keeps me entertained when the wait is long.
