I was at the park last night and about 9:00, Surf Dog was stuck on the other "dip" (not near the station). What happened? It seemed like the people were on the ride, stuck there for at least 30 minutes while maintenance worked on it.

Just get there when the park opens and you will be fine!

I have to admit that when I took my nieces and nephew to the park today, they wanted to go to "Scooby Doo" and I explain that it had changed and they might not like it. They insisted on going, and they hated it. I know I am in the minority, but I liked Scooby better and I was glad the skeletons were off.

But think of how great a PR move it would be for the company that could fix the ride the right way. They would be know as the company that tamed Sob! TRUE!

Wouldn't it be NOT funny if that new company does not want Peanuts in the CF Parks! (I know there is a contract in place, but certainly it will expire at some point)

They just fixed the "lava" pour, nothing comes out. Just the lighting in the lava is back on and the stone soldiers are moving their arms again...

I am part of the minority, I liked Scooby

I would never endorse the removal of Flight Deck. I like that ride too!

I personally think the entrance is just fine the way it is. I can still hope for a new midway connecting X-Base to Action Zone. Maybe with new rides too! A boy can dream!

I love SB. Who else lives in a pineapple under the sea? I watch it every time I visit the park. I am always rooting for him to get that pickle back from Plankton!

Perhaps the most Freudian spelling error in the history of KIC.....LOL! beatle, would you please explain to me what i did wrong? english is my weak point, and i'll happily take any pointers on how to correct the language i speak. "genitally" instead of "gently"

If they take down SOB, I'd love to see X-Base connected to Action Zone....

I would like to go to Cedar Point, but I figure I would go for one day. One day + Gold Pass is cheaper than going Platinum.

Very well said.

I'd imagine that the packets "last" until they are used. HA HA

If it was that big, I would be able to see it from my house (15 miles away).... LOL

I totally agree.

I agree. It looked GREAT!

Maybe they are still using up old ketchup from last season?

The crate is there, just empty!

Again, no one know for sure yet, but I think the fact that the rides entrance has been "permanently" closed and all signage removed and all the trains just out in the elements for almost a year now is very telling that the ride will either be closed or completely reworked with new cars.

I doubt those trains would be used again. They were there all winter... If they do use them, they'd give them a complete overhaul anyways.

I work Adventure Express....and I ask myself the same question all the time and have people tell me im lying when I tell them the ride rating is a 5....I could see it as a 4 It may not have the thrill of DB, but I still ride it every time I am in the park. I am also one of the dorks who move my arms up and down as we go up the final hill.

There is an app called Ride Hopper which provides ride wait times for hundreds of parks including Kings Island. This is free and is available for IPod as well as Android phones. For all those who use Blackberry, unfortunately it's not offered yet. I wish it was available for BB users

That photo was taken opening day of Nick U, many things were not completed for opening weekend. The "Wave" panels were added a few weeks later. Awesome picture, thank you.
