Top Gun painting
Perhaps CF is paying attention to the horrible reaction (for the most part) that Flight Deck was receiving and decided to change the name to something else. I think that name is 100+% better than Flight Deck.

What defunct ride do you miss the most?
I was so upset when the Eagles took off. I was the snappingest of the snapping of the cables. So much so that I thought the cable would break and I'd go flying into The Vortex track.

What about...... "Dogfight"?

At least he always tired too. How good would a smurf really take? Like chicken with a blueberry glaze, I'm guessing.

Will Bubba Gump's Name Change? Now Confirmed
One of the dirty secrets of the theme park business is that virtually all the food is so dramatically overpriced that the 'less expensive' places in a park will cost very little less and can often cost you as much or more than the 'expensive' places. This was true back in the International Restaurant days and is just as true now. A soft drink will cost you the same anywhere in the park. An order of fries is just as overpriced anywhere in the park. It's even true, to an extent, in the Disney and Universal parks. Which one is that again? The red logo? If that's Old English, my definition of Old English is very, very wrong. Yep, that's it: http://www.militarysabers.com/images/sword...glish-large.jpg That's a very loose interpretation. (Pun not intended)

Will Bubba Gump's Name Change? Now Confirmed
If an expensive restaurant in an amusement park has to change it's name, does anyone really care? I totally ignore Bubba Gump's as well as Happy Days/Preston Tucker's because the prices are so dern high. I'm not rich dangit!!!!

Needs
Now what is freaky about a cat dressed up as Boy George and singing "Karma Chameleon"? Ohhh. Those? *shakes head to remove the image from said head* Not a fan.

Well, to me it's older than I expected. Just a surprise that's all.

What, pray tell, were/are the dancing kitties?

Tunnel on the Beastie
Yeah, that sucked.

Why, other than location, is the queue for Top Gun so dern long? Is that the only reason?

Would you re-theme FoF - and how?
Understood. I'm really trying to figure out what is going on in that area. Is it going to be a full on section, or just FOF and Firehawk? There's a lot that could be done if the intention is to build on what's there already, no?

Top Gun painting
Yes. Pre Paramount sticks out in my mind more than the Paramount era. I remember climbing the stairs of the Eiffel Tower with my dad. We climbed all the way to the top. I'm not really sure if we were supposed to be on the stairs or not, but I remember climbing that whole darn thing. Are we absolutely sure that there's no blue on Top Gun right now? For some reason, I seem to want to think that some part of it is blue. Is that really going to be the new name of TG? It seems like little or no thought was put into that.

Tunnel on the Beastie
I realize all that, but Gator answered my question. I'm a "person of exceptional size*" as CF puts it, and when I rode it, I had to have my own car, and I had to sit all the way to the left and have my legs to the right. Things have changed since I rode it 13 times in a row back in the day. *6'5" 300

Tunnel on the Beastie
Does anyone know when and why the tunnel was removed from The Beastie? (I refuse to call it by any other name) I rode it this year, and was disappointed by the lack of the tunnel. Was it a safety issue? Thanks for the time. WHOOHOO 100 Posts. No longer a tourist.

It's fine as is. Just fix the lights, and such. On a side note, did the whole X Base concept ever get explained to the "public." (and by public, I mean us, on the boards)

Mantis is that old?? I had no idea. I was thinking '98 maybe.

Kings Islands New Sign is Up
I've never given that much thought, but it's absolutely true.

Ok, you're a bit older than me. It's good to remember the good old days though, Eh?

Top Gun painting
It's not that much more. At least it's not as much as you're probably thinking. The effects were pretty cool when they were working. The "smoke" made me sick each and every time I went through it. darn, I'm old.

Kings Islands New Sign is Up
That's about what I expected. I guess the top "coaster hill" logo is here to stay. It seems to be a company wide thing. I never realized the thing I was talking about was an exclamation point.

Kings Islands New Sign is Up
On a side note, it's a little surreal that I'm staying online waiting for a picture of a sign. I never thought I was that addicted to KI, but I guess I am. I'm a logo freak and I'm ready to see what CF did. I think that signage throughout the park would reflect the main sign.
