Holiday World 2014 Park Map
I have yet to see any HW Billboards in my area this year. There is a KI Billboard for Coke and Banshee near my house. First time I can remember seeing one down here.

Kentucky Kingdom
Depends upon which way you are heading towards the park. 264-W STILL has a Six Flags sign. SMH.

The Chicken Shack!
Salty and Seasoned need not be the same thing as well. Know how to tell that someone is not used to the joys of seasoned food? The only seasoning they are aware of is Salt.

Koch Family Have Purchased Alabama's Splash Adventure
Good news. Nothing warms my heart like a Coaster Comeback.

Color Me Rad 5K
Will be there with the family and some of the better half's co workers. Wife and son did one of these last year and had a blast. Those of you scared of a little color...it washes off.

Season Long Dining Plan
That was a moot point to us. We normally avoid the park during Haunt.

Falcons Fury at Busch Gardens Tampa
They have known for a few weeks that the ride would not be open on May 1st. The park blamed on going construction for the delay in the article I read. I expected this ride to be way different than it actually is. Maybe they will have it worked out when I visit the park the first week of June.

1/2 priced draft-beer during Reds games
I don't go anywhere (except maybe the Legion) for Liquor because it is too expensive. Can by an entire bottle for the price of a couple drinks. Always envied those that could drink responsibly. I was never one to have a drink and relax, especially spending 8 years in the Army. One relaxing drink leads to a dozen or more. Drinking on Fri/Sat slowly turns into all week, all month, all year. At 25 getting wasted was fun, hangovers were easy...not so much these days, lol.

Awesome 1993 News Segment on What to Expect at the "New" Paramount's Kings Island
Hanna Barbara? While I love Scooby Doo and The Flintstones, the rest never really appealed to me. I was always a Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry fan. Being nearly 40 I fondly remember spending Sat mornings in front of the TV. Except for the times they would play that horribly cheesy, wrestling junk.
-
Anyone know why Kings Island is closed this week?
The time is approaching that makes me really wish I lived closer to the park.

...and we will call the Big Noodle
Like it or not, the Noodle is doing what it was brought in to do....draw a crowd, I saw LOTS of people clamoring for a photo op with it.

Season Long Dining Plan
Most places do indeed know exactly what is on the plan and what isn't. The problem I have is with clueless people at the register that do not listen when you say, "I have the season long dining plan". They look at you and ring you up for the meal. The program is new so, it will either work or not. No big deal. Apparently they are having to deal with LOTS of angry/yelling customers. Such a shame that people today are so high strung.

1/2 priced draft-beer during Reds games
I haven't really looked very hard. The few that I have tried, all tasted the same. Give me a good Bourbon any day. Although, getting drunk, buzzed, whatever lost its appeal to me a few years ago.

1/2 priced draft-beer during Reds games
Never understood the fascination with Beer. Nasty, vile, disgusting concoction. One sip makes me wanna vomit.

Season Long Dining Plan
As of our trip yesterday, the plans have paid for themselves. The folks at Chicken Shack are hit and miss of the entire thing. Skyline was on it, even asked if we had the plan when we first walked up to pay. Nerver did get charged for filling up our Souvenir cups.

Drop Tower? (update: now open!)
Am I the only one underwhelmed by that Falcons Fury POV?

Your Banshee Experience
I tried keeping track a few years ago. Was just more work than I felt was necessary. Plus, no one else I know really cares how much I ride the things that they are terrified of. Those of you with friends that actually ride are lucky.
-
...and we will call the Big Noodle
It's not a freaking spaghetti noodle. Just wanted to say that the day you see me put a pound sign in front of anything is the day a Pig flies.

Your Banshee Experience
Probably the only one here with this number.....1....my Banshee ride count is one. I have my whole life to ride it.

His Noodly Appendage
The thing in the park is a Macaroni Noodle. His Noodly Appendage (The Flying Spaghetti Monster) is a Spaghetti Noodle. They are not the same thing

Kentucky Kingdom
The storm did it. The lightning has been nuts for the last 24 hours.
-
Season Long Dining Plan
So they still do not have this straightened out? Wow. Not doubting your experience at all. We were told by Guest Services that the plan is only an entree and a side. No drink included because the park feels that the Souvenir Cup is the best drink value. Perhaps it has changed, yet again. That is to be expected.

Season Long Dining Plan
Our kids are 10 and 11. They are eating machines, lol.

Kentucky Kingdom
Oh I can have fun in them for sure, Just not more than once a year. I am most looking forward to Lightning Run and a trip on Thunder Run after a 24 year break. Just saw a new commercial for the park on TV. Things are ramping up.

Kentucky Kingdom
They are really going for broke with the Water Park. Those aren't really my "thing" but lots of people love them.
