A Rainy May 2nd at King Island
If that's not your best day at the park, I'd hate to see it. You got 11 rides in in less than 8 hours. I only hit 9 or 10 and I spent all day at the park last Saturday. Good job, and lucky to be able to stay on Delirium like that.

Man Jumps To Death From Disneyland Hotel
What a story. It's really too sad when things like this happen. I feel for his family.

Thanks for the guide Woofer. I'll use it all the time. Now, on to my screech.

XGatorhead's Double Trip Report
Aw, come on. Just because a ride went 29 on me and I had two inattentive ride ops doesn't mean I'm bad luck! Ok what does that mean. A ride went 29 on you? Must be ride op speak. After reading your TR about the Monster, I think it's a good idea for me not to close, or do anything myself so that the checkers know it's done, and done the right way.

New Aerials from opening weekend
Aha. Good to know. It was kind of hard to get a real good look at anything whilst on SoB. Thanks.

Front Turnstyle Area Painted
I wondered where that went. Too bad. I liked that walkway, it was a nice little shortcut.

Behemoth stuck

I know. Near the end, the one girl is yawning like she was bored out of her mind.

Returning to the Island
I thought SoB was boring last year. When I rode it this season, I was blown away. It's quite a fun ride. The angles are insane. I'm 6'5" and around 300 lbs, and I find the trains to be adequate.

Eiffel Tower & wind gusts
Ha ha. I'm such a Mark. Oh, well. You guys got me.

Hmmm.. Ok. Is that area a storage area as well?

Eiffel Tower & wind gusts
"However, due to the constant same direction winds on the Eiffel Tower it is necessary for the park to rotate the Eiffel Tower 180 degrees every 4 years. The last time was the off season after 2004, next time will be this up coming off season. It's quite interesting how it is done." ??? Are you serious. Man would I like to see that get done...

Amusement parks, VIP-style
I didn't know CP had something like that. I'll sitck to my platinum pass then. I always wondered how celebrites went to parks and now I know.

TGI Fridays
No, you would not expect lousy service when a restaurant is slammed. Not often does a restaurant continue to be slammed if they have rude employees, cold food, etc. Good point. I guess I'm saying that lousy service is tolerated by a majority of people when a restaurant is busy. Not saying it's right, or even tolerable, but it happens, no?

TGI Fridays
You would expect lousy service when a restaurant is slammed, but on the second and third and fourth chances that I've given that place, it's been enough to make me never go back. Rude employees, cold food, etc... I want to like the place, but my experiences really play a part. Max & Ermas is another place that I've not been back to. I think that once a person, not just me of course, has a bad experience at a restaurant, it takes alot for them to make another trip, or to forgive if you will.

Does Kings Island have this merchandise service?
I checked here and did not find anything. To my knowledge, that service is not offered at KI. I would assume you could just take your purchases out to your car.

Amusement parks, VIP-style
My first thought was "How Much?" It's all similar to our very own Gold Passes. Although, that Magic Mountain deal didn't sound too bad.

TGI Fridays
Jeez, I would rather see anything else besides a Fridays. I have had consistently bad service every time I've been to TGI Fridays.

Where's RK's weird looking goatee? All kidding aside, good job. I can't wait to see more. They're very topical.- Do you like getting stuck on a ride?
I got stuck on Invertigo as well. We were stuck for about 20 minutes right as you come out of the station. The brakes didn't catch after our ride so we flew back through the station, and got stuck right as you go up into the inversion. Luckily I was not facing down, so it was actually pretty neat.- New Flyin' Phil's Updates! :)
Yup. It was awesome. I was the first ride of the day when I rode it, so I got to go to the airport north of KI (not sure what it's called) and fill up on gas. I got a bonus ride, which added about 25 minutes onto the standard ride. I would've done it many more times, but the next time I went back, the copter was gone.- SF Fiesta Texas: T-Shirt Incident Causes Havoc
Wow. Wouldn't expect that. Good job KI. Funny though about the paramount shirts. I guess they can't get rid of them fast enough, eh?- angrybeaver's huge Photo/video trip report (4/26/08)
Beaver, that sounds good. I'll be looking out for topics about meeting up. - KIC Doodles
