Where to start...sigh. First of all, it was NOT the Royal Fountain...which has never had such an incident, but rather the pond over in Oktoberfest behind what is now Outer Hanks. Second, he didn't fall in, by all accounts, but was in fact intoxicated and apparently decided to go for a swim. His would be rescuer also died. And the electrocution was apparently caused by lack of a ground fault interruption system...which was immediately corrected...This all happened the same day that the woman fell from Flight Commander and died...she was also intoxicated, and apparently may have been watching the activity over in Oktoberfest...when she slipped from the restraints somehow and plunged to her death. That day has since been known as Black Sunday at Kings Island.... When was this Sunday? I remember the woman that fell from Flight Commander but never the men in the pod. I never knew so many died at KI..... eek! Ummm actually you are all wrong. Here's what it says on the KICentral Timeline.

^10!

I've been back there on a little short-cut on the way back from break. We went over next to the FOF exit and went through a gate. Behind the race, underneath the AE station and on a path back behind the go carts. There's already a little maintenance path so I don't think it would be that hard. Just get rid of those go carts that are a waste of space.

Ghosts on the Eiffel Tower? I've never heard that one. I think I've only heard the sinking Vortex one. Someone just started a new thread about that on one of my other sites. I'm not even going to bother looking at it.

Woohooo! Loner fest! I think most of us will be going alone too.

That would be awesome but I don't even think he knows anything about it.

^That's my dad's name. lol Weird.

^Welcome to the reality of KICentral.

A coaster that I have had different experiences on is SOB I guess. Riding it as a guest near the back was real rough but test riding before the park opened in the front with the whole train to myself was amazing.

I think it's queue.

I will be going alone also. I am so excited to register!

^It's not free? Isn't it $48? Or are you talking about the pass holders?

^I actually loved Minderaser in my old park. The out of control feeling is great. Plus it wasn't as bad in the front.

Ohh ok that makes sense. Thanks!

I didn't notice that. I posted it because I saw something at the bottom of one of the supports. Like right in the middle of the photo. What is that?

Try riding a Vekoma SLC. Talk about headbanging. What's going on here?

When I was in elementary school I had a dream about Drop Tower (Drop Zone back then). There was a girl I liked and me and her were on this weird version of Drop Zone where you stand up in this little area. There was no ceiling or anything and we dropped and I remember being scared. And then when we got off she ran away with her friends.

lol That's funny. I don't think i noticed the first time but when I did I got excited.

You can see that in one of the renderings on the KIDiamondback site. You can see that the fenders over the wheels change color in the video.

^I've never seem that. That's awesome. Thanks for posting.

Those pictures are amazing. So addicting to look at. Thanks so much for posting that link.

131 feet

People in my school (a private school) are all freaking out about so much snow but up here in Morrow and Lebanon we are all so confused because we only got an inch. Please no school.

That is one thing I would love to see. A new kind of amazing flat ride. Sometimes coasters can't do the justice a very fun flat ride can do.

Was it piece number 129 at let's say 1:00 PM?
