RIP Guil Herrick
On a Facebook post by the Tecumseh School District it was announced that Guil Herrick has passed away. Many of you may have seen Guil working security at Kings Island. His full time job was a teacher for the Tecumseh school district. I didn’t know him well, but the times I’ve talked with him he was always a funny and nice guy. So sad.

2020-2021 Off Season
From what I was told, repainting Racer is going to be a very expensive job. In the millions due to removal of lead paint in the under layers. You can only paint over the wood so many times before it starts adding weight. Also the paint they use is a very heavy paint compared to what you would use at home. I would Love to see the old girl freshened up a bit. Maybe for the 50th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was an operating ride. I’m speaking of idle objects. Example: flight commander, The crypt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Many who have been around for a while will confirm, the park doesn’t spend money unless they need to. The station does not need to be removed unless something is planned for that space. I will put down a $100 bill that if it coming down then something is planned for the space. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No it’s not. It’s right next to the main gate. Security gate 3. Also I don’t think they are charging the road for employee access. Much cheaper for them to have their shuttle van to go around than raise to lower the road. Cheaper to put an employee entrance on that side of the park. There are also markers down by Soak City as well where utilities have already been put underground. I’m just hoping this is an overall parking lot repair project. I don’t think it’s anything to do with an attraction. I think it’s overall infrastructure improvements. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1.) Yes, you can see these markings from the lift hill very easily; unless you are legally blind. 2.) Members like you are one of the reasons why many are not here. 3.) I’m done with this topic, good day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How does that foot taste? I don’t feel like sharing more since so many want to bash others. Be lucky I shared these as there are many more. You all need to learn to respect other members. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Drainage in that area was completely overhauled 2 or 3 seasons ago. Also the markers are on a dead end road that does not get used. I don’t think a another coaster will be here until at least 2022. I’m thinking a front gate overhaul or even the removal of Timberwolf/Congo to make room for an expansion of some flat rides that the park desperately needs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kings Island launches 4K cinematic series
No, it’s called using an ND filter to allow for a wider aperture (smaller F-stop (T-stop when it comes to video cameras such as the one used in their video)) to get a more shallow depth of field in bright daylight and not blowing out the image. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There were many variations of concepts that would end up becoming enchanted voyage. All the concepts I’ve found refer to it as “Dark Ride”. There were even multiple variations of artwork for EV. You also have to remember that during the time of conceptualizing a new park, they were also having concepts created for a new Coney Island to incorporate more Hanna Barbera property into Coney.

Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
People seem to forget it’s not black and white, live or die. The In-between also suffer. A lot of people who “survived” COVID-19 are now dealing with life long health issues and disabilities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
