Vortex conked out
Referring to the "rumor" of Vortex sinking: I always hear that it is sinking from the general public, and I hear it is a rumor for others. I understand the so-called "evidence" of it sinking... but how do we KNOW that it isn't sinking? Have those "sinking footers" always been like that?

Cedar Point 7/8-7/9 Trip Report
Am I the only one that actually enjoyed Disaster Transport?? I thought it was kinda fun, honestly.

New at Holiday World for 2012
^^ But that's only if you're interested in Thrill Rides alone. It's a family park just as their slogan states "Number 1 for family fun!" If you're into just sitting, taking the ambiance, riding water rides, getting well-priced food, riding some fun small rides, and SOME thrill rides.... then you won't get bored.

New at Holiday World for 2012
Let the haters hate, let the people enjoy the fantastic park that aren't arrogant. Steel inverting coasters do NOT make a great park.

August Announcement?
I hope so. but what did we get for our 30th anniversary of the park? Tomb Raider right? Yeah, I hope it's something big, although I'm happy with anything new honestly.

Flight Deck now has a... Flight Deck?
Fourth of July weekend last year, I believe definitely warranted the extra queue. I think I remember seeing pictures stretching as far back as where the SOB sign used to be. (that was on the first turn of the entrance queue for SOB)

What`s next for Son of Beast?
^^ That is a more accurate word, yes.

Kings Island theming
Is the Oktoberfest sign still there?? I don't remember it.

Kings Island theming
Does anyone wish the rides with soundtracks would have several tracks? I keep hearing that same song in Invertigo lol

Kings Island theming
I, for one, wish we still had our floral tunnel.

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
Although, They said that Cedar Point isn't done with coasters so....

Kings Island theming
I haven't heard the international-themed music yet this year. But I sure do remember it... ah the memories I think the fog drop with the projected skull in Boo Blasters is a detail they should maintain. I think it's the coolest part of the ride, and it seems to randomly be working and other times not.

Holiday world puts up new signs
I hope they don't have to resort to chain-link fences!

What`s next for Son of Beast?
I would most definitely hold an opposite opinion. Haha Speaking of which, I love how smooth the retracked portions of The Beast are; the turn out of the second tunnel is so forceful and smooth! But you must just be one of those people that crave aggressive rides then, right?

An open letter to Mr. Matt Oiumet
Indeed. You think perhaps haunt could be vamped up aswell?? EDIT: No pun intended

An open letter to Mr. Matt Oiumet
With Backlot Stunt track in mind... does no one miss the water cannons that used to blast up? Or the "water splash"? I know I miss that a lot. And the fog entering the tunnel. Althought I AM really pleased with the effect used for the bullets. Paramount should've done that when it opened, but I really miss the fire followed up by a sudden attack of water bursting up.

What`s next for Son of Beast?
I like how someone says "Oh geeze..." After the question about Son of Beast haha Oh, and why do some consider Pre-fab intamin coasters to NOT be wooden?? I don't understand.

Overly aggressive Keyhole Photo employees
Even with them being as aggressive as they are, they DEFINITELY don't need 5 of them on each side of I street. I've always wondered if I just keep walking straight and just stand still if they step in my way, if one will still take my picture. But it must really suck to have this job, I think I can see a quota being placed on them, that makes the most sense as to why they are the way they are.

August Announcement?
Hahahaha, that's golden. ^^and I completely agree with the high capacity notion; Kings Island feels like it is becoming more and more crowded! I honestly think, and I was thinking about this last time I rode FD, they should have pathways go under FD and lead to a new area, Maybe not have anything too complex, but I feel like the walkway right next to FD's unofficial 2nd entrance, is just a great thing to walk by. It just makes the area cool, in a way. And if a new area, or just a new coaster were added that reached towards GWL, then more people would walk passed there. But the realistic truth is that Kings Island has many, many possibilities for new rides and expansions. They probably wouldn't do the FD thing, but I feel like it might add to some life back by FD. And I honestly am a little saddened that DA will receive additions every year. I don't think it's worth the time. My dad and I didn't enjoy it, my little sister was scared of the things and only liked the dig site, and my 11 year old sister was the only one that liked it, but she was still upset that the dinosaurs had timers and that if you were behind people they most likely wouldn't do anything for you. Maybe I'm bashing but, I still really love KI as a whole, that's just my two cents

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
Yeah, my girlfriend is not getting on that lol I surely will though! Why are the seats made to go forward and backward, it seems like given the right day, someone is going to bust their knee.

Who's at Kings Island right now?
Oh okay, is that why the calendar has closed as a gray square instead of no coloration at all? I don't mind a company buy out, I was just curious.
-
Who's at Kings Island right now?
I'm looking at the webcams, and it seems like there are some general public there out in front of WindSeeker. I saw a family with a stroller earlier too. And I think they may be testing it today or tomorrow. Anyone know who the people are though? and looking at Fox19's sky cam... it seems as though people are all over the park for some reason. I thought Kings Island was closed. And I saw some rides running in the time lapse... I'm very confused, and eager to go down there. lol

The New Texas Giant
Ugh.... the POV is gone....

Town that Disney Built has first Killing
Never even heard of this town, but from the description, it seemed like a great place to live prior to the murder. I hope they catch this guy, I hate the fact that someone can kill another unsuspecting human being, and not get anything their way.
