Queue question
Does anybody on here have a photo of this they are willing to share? I don't remember ever noticing it, but I am intrigued now!

1 last ride--what would you choose?
I was there one evening when there were tornadoes, or at least funnels, in the area. My buddy and I were forced to take shelter in the freezer of the International Street Larosa's. We did get free pizza our of it though.

Guests Say The Darnest Things
Walking by tombstones near construction fence: "Wow, they are setting up early for Haunt this year!"

How is your cell phone coverage at KI?
Straight Talk here. And no service if it is crowded. If it isn't crowded I usually do okay, but it does that to me at a lot of high-density places (ballgames, parks, etc)

August 15 kings island trip!
I made an impromptu trip today! I was more upset about not seeing the legend himself, YoungStud. Good day to be at the park though.

8/15 Early Evening
I was there today as well! Lots of activity over near Banshee, and a beautiful day at the park.

Halloween Haunt 2013
Seriously though, that would get you the job for sure!

TTD: Most Influential Coaster Announcement?
It looks like somebody used Microsoft Paint to make this video

If you owned Kings Island
One thing I would do is put signs on I-75 North and South. I get to KI by getting off on exit 22, but there are no signs there that say "Hey! Kings Island is here!" When I drive to Cedar Point I see signs everywhere, and there is nothing on I-75 that says to go this way to get to Kings Island.

Hold up. Did you just say to get rid of Panda Express? That's not ok!

Tips for Introducing someone to coasters
Don't start on a coaster. Start on Drop Tower, and tell him, "If you can get up here and free-fall, everything else will be cake." Go big or go home!

Banshee Construction Progress
Don said on WLW that we should see it going vertical this week.

If you owned Kings Island
I would call up Cedar Fair and sell it to them immediately. That way, I know it would be in good hands, and I'm sure I could work a deal to maintain a small portion of ownership. I trust them

Kings Island Announces The World's Longest Inverted Coaster for 2014!
Did you try holding onto the vest itself so that it would stay gently rested on your shoulders? I know that helped me at Gatekeeper's media day, but I am far from 6 foot 4 so it could be very different for you

Banshee will be the first invert with these restraints, right?
-
Diamondback restraint thoughts
Those have OTSRs and go upside-down. I don't see how they apply to this conversation at hand, since those are entirely different.

Banshee Queue Music
I can't help but think of the theme music from the Call of Duty Black Ops: Zombies page, Darned. (the name isn't actually Darned, but it automatically edited it )

Kentucky Kingdom
Anytime an advancement is made here is a shock to me. I didn't think KK would even make it this far into rebuilding!
-
Banshee Construction Progress
Where in the video did you see it? Am I just blind? (which wouldn't surprise me) Also, it looks like someone was a little ambitious with Firehawk's height at the 0:56 mark
-
Banshee Construction Progress
Umm, might wanna take that down. Language issues like in that video aren't something that are taken lightly here. Just a heads up! Edit: Posts I were referring to are gone now, so I'm not calling anyone out or anything!

Geauga Lake Documentary
I started the video not realizing it was 42 minutes long. I'll save it for a rainy day

Don Helbig on WLW 8-9
Vertical construction to start next week! And he called it Raptor on steroids

Starting to Decode 2014
I thought it looked like a pretzel. But I am also hungry right now...

Please help settle an argument between my wife and I...
Well the way it reads to me is that... ya know, you could just kinda... skip the line I don't really remember, but didn't there used to be a separate line at BLSC for gold passholders? Or something like that?
