New Nick Universe site
Some of you may remember me talking about a school project where we had to design a website for something in Cincinnati, and I'm making a website for Nick Universe. Well, the visual style is complete, and you can see what the home page will look like below!

Ideas for IJ:ST
There is fishtailing, it's just too small to really notice. And for the stair effect, they do have the effect, but they don't use it (there is a good reason for this, trust me, you don't want that effect on, haha).

Top Gun
i agree I'm sorry I just have to say something. Please dont take offense but I STRONGLY disagree with any possibility of reality reguarding this idea. Okay first let me take a breath and calm down. Ok First: In terms of shopping at Kings Island, who is going to want to go to a valley, way back in the Action Zone to go shopping when there are stalls all over the park?? People already complain about having to walk a mile to ride a roller coaster, now they're going to have to walk a mile to go shopping? Second: Even if they made that a separate entrance, How could that possibly save time? are you saying that the distance from the entrance now to face/off is just too far, and that you need it 100 feet closer. Also nobody's trip is going to make or break because of the distance GWL is from KI, there is already a pathway from GWL to KI and a is going to start having a shuttle in full season. A separate entrance is honestly a waste of staffing and just a headache. Third: Back to the shopping at Kings Island, what do you call I-Street?? Is there seriously not enough shopping on there already? What are they going to sell in the TG valley that they dont sell all over the park already? Fourth and foremost: Okay do you know why Disney has a Downtown Disney?? Because Disney World is 42 square miles!! In case you cannot fatham that, that is TWICE the size of Manhattan Island. Kings Island isnt even 800 acres, half of which isnt even developed. Kings Island on a buisy day in the summer can have around 30 to 40 thousand people in the park, give or take. On a buisy day in the summer, Disney World Resort can have over One MILLION people on property. Also In case you've never been there, you dont have to pay to get into Downtown Disney, nor do you have to be staying in Disney, all you have to pay for is the things you buy. When you're in orlando or at disney and you want to go somewhere to hang out and shop without paying an admission you go to Downtown Disney. Nobody (except maybe a handful) in cincinnati is going to be sitting at home trying to decide what to do and decide to go shopping for Kings Island merchandise at Downtown KI. *stands up and applauds* Very good, you just basically shut down any reason for people to think that's a good idea.

Keep slingshot and skyflyer, ditch eurobungee.

For those who have ridden X-Flight...
I have, I waited in a 3 hour long line for SoB opening year. It was my first ride, only reason I waited that long.

New Rides
How about a corkscrewing wooden coaster that goes 300 feet for the kids area, and a see-saw for the main part. That should go over well for the guests.

Ride Intensity Ratings (Oddly) Changed
Yeah, CF always has screwy ratings. When I went to Knotts some time ago, they had their flume as a 5.

It's Kings Island Time!
I got my first season pass in 4 years today... I'm ready to party at the park.

Beast ACE Walkback
The question is, who would want to be in ACE? The Coaster Crew is where it's at!
-
The Beast... has a MySpace?
Beast didn't forget it's birthday... it's opening was friday the 13th of April 1979. And Racer is male, FOC is female. Again... way too many conversations in the park about these...

Oxygen Bar at KI?
I'll take air flavored please!

New KICentral Skin avaliable!
Hellz yeah!

The Beast... has a MySpace?
It has recently been proven that The Vortex's myspace page is a hoax, and not the real Vortex.
-
The Beast... has a MySpace?
Trust me, I've been in heated arguments about The Beast family. Here is the family history as I see it... Racer and Scooby Doo (now known as the Fairly Odd Coaster) got married, and had Beast. At their marriage, Scooby Doo changed her name to Beastie. Recently, Beastie and Racer got divorced, so Beastie changed her name again to Fairly Odd Coaster. And of course SoB was born from Vortex and Beast. SoB got it's loop from Vortex, and it's long wooden layout from Beast.
-
The Beast... has a MySpace?
That's clearly not the real Firehawk. The age is wrong, the song is wrong, it uses Comic Sans, the website sucks in general. The rides at KI know better than to fail miserably on the sites. And I didn't make The Beast MySpace, I don't know who did.
-
The Beast... has a MySpace?
Yeah, Facebook is better, but I made a MySpace account to show how awful it is. I'm posting really creepy and spam messages / friend invites on my profile to show how much junk is on MySpace.
-
The Beast... has a MySpace?
So apparently The Beast got a MySpace page, because I logged on to check how my experiment was going, and saw I had a friend invite from the famed coaster itself. Not sure who made it yet, but it's pretty funny to look at. http://www.myspace.com/thebeastrollercoaster
