Guests Say The Darnest Things
Today, a girl asked me how many times The Crypt went upside down. I said "two". Apparently, to her, "two" means "none". Also, on the Eiffel Tower elevator, going down... Guest: "This reminds me of Drop Tower, except it doesn't drop." Me: "Oh, you didn't hear? It's just like Drop Tower now. Drops 200 feet." Guest: "REALLY?!?!?!"

Interesting Things Ride-Ops Do
*on The Beast* Ride op: "If you're having a good time, give me a thumbs up! *looks around* Hey! Why are you giving me a thumbs down?" Guest: "Because you're only running one train."

Offical Shoe of Kings Island
My $17 shoes from Wal-Mart.

New Restaurant at KI and more!
There's a simple solution to overpriced food: eat before you go, or when you get there (Taco Bell and McD's are right down the road), and don't spend money at the park. I think I've spent all of about 80 nickels at the park itself this year.

Lots of gum on hand rail's & walls
I have heard that it is there so people can't spit at the train from the lift hill, but The Beast doesn't have a wall, so I'm not sure what the difference is...

poorley educated
Well, Disney teaches Traditions, but there's really no reason for a amusement park to do something like that. Rarely is the park's past important to a 16-year-old ride operator.

Kings Island and...Tornadoes!?!?
Good! CedarPointer, who is out of state for the weekend, and would hate for a tornado to make it up to Centerville.

10 Things Theme Parks Won't Tell You
"Hey, I know how I'll get some pageviews! People like to go to amusement parks this time of year, right? I'll put up a article bashing them, with lots of flaws in logic and reason! Kind of like those "FACEBOOK/MYSPACE/TWITTER WILL KILL YER KIDZ!" articles on Fox News!"

That doesn't sound good!

10 Things Theme Parks Won't Tell You
The only thing we had in Rapid City was the Central States Fair every summer. There were some gokart and mini-golf places, but not much else.

10 Things Theme Parks Won't Tell You
I love #7. One thing SmartMoney doesn't tell you is that many of the states they list (I know South Dakota for sure) don't HAVE any amusement parks. Oops!

Absolute WORST park-going experience of my life!
I am convinced that, next year, there will be signs in DB's line that say, "LINE JUMPING IS ENCOURAGED."

Son of Beast
I never rode it with the loop, but it wouldn't let me not choose an answer for that...

The Racers
Then, just curious, how was Paramount allowed to run them backwards?

millennium force cable
"Oops!"

RWCW Photo Contest Winner to Be Announced Today
Umm... wow? Really?

Future of Nickelodeon Universe
I wouldn't mind Planet Snoopy. I thought Planet Snoopy at CP looked really nice. They could even bring the Planet Snoopy flower arrangment down here! Now that would look interesting from the Eiffel Tower.

The NEW Crypt 5/15
But, knowing Cedar Fair, it would be replaced with this: (Thunder Hawk at Worlds of Fun)

Any Ride Warriors Out There?
Maybe they could have some games on the site, too. Line Jumping Olympics, anyone? Designated Smoking Area Disaster? Spitwater Falls River Rafting?

SRL policy on DP is ridiculous IMO
I noticed that the queue safety video does seem to imply that the SRL is ONLY for people actually by themselves. Next time I go, I'll try to remember the exact quote...

Any Ride Warriors Out There?
*is still trying to figure out exactly what that site is* Are they going to have a board dedicated to trim brakes?

Which Roller Coaster do you miss the most?
For me, it's a tie between recaR and Bat.

Friday May 22, 2009 TR
The problem with that is, 90% of the time (in my experience anyway), you have NO idea who it was. For example, walking by Drop Zone. Almost no way to know who it was.

Best Roller Coaster to ever grace KI
Hey, we already had Timmy's Air Tours, now we also have The Crypt!

Conquering your fears
I was quite scared of Huss Enterprises until last year, I rode Volcano at Kennywood. It was worth it. I'm not a huge fan of pirate/viking ships, mainly due to spitting...
