Schrute Family Florida Trip- 2012/2013
Nice report, thanks for sharing. Excited that my family will soon get to experience the many great parks in Florida.

Kentucky Kingdom
Louisville is currently dealing with High Crime and rampant Heroin abuse. I highly doubt many will chose KK over HW or KI. At least he puts on a good front.

Pay close attention to numbers 10 and 11. I wouldn't start holding my breath just yet. Oh well, if all works according to plan this year, my family will have plenty of parks to choose from come 2014.

Man dies after falling of Ride of Steel at Darion Lake.
Is there even such a thing as a low SEVEN figure amount of money?

How Many Visits Did You Make to Kings Island in 2012?
6 times. My lowest count since 2009. My family experienced Burn Out this season, so we are skipping next in order to recharge.

Do you REALLY have to ask? Too much liability in sending Arsenic treated lumber to people so they can store it in their house.

Halloween Events TOO Crowded?
I don't normally mind waiting, however, Haunt 2010 was insane. Have avoided it ever since. Spent my weekends volunteering at a local Haunted Attraction this October and had way more fun.

I stopped looking at the Kings Island FB page long ago. Got a few IQ points back that day.

Kentucky Kingdom
Ed Hart only wants one thing, money. He will do and say whatever it takes to get his hands on KK. Most everyone else that has seen the park as it currently sits will tell you, it is indeed a Trash Heap. Was just talking about this park with a group of people last night. They all agreed that the rides were not enjoyable and the park should just go away. The few die hard fans however, continue to keep their Blinders on.

The first 2012/2013 off-season thread!

Holiday World: "Something New" for 2013 - UPDATE: Announcement Tuesday 10/23
You guys have fun. I'll be sound asleep at that time.

New anything in 2013?
I prefer my coasters do more than just go up and down. Course, I'm not a hard core enthusiast type either, I just like to have fun.

Kentucky Kingdom
Only 3 more days til the parks Judgement Day. I have seen nothing in the news besides the recent gathering of Former Employees.
-
New anything in 2013?
There will be a large area of new Grass. Nothing new for 2013 saves me a lot of Money because we will be not be renewing our passes for 2013. Gonna try and visit some different parks next year. As for loops, I really wish KI would give Intamin a call about installing the first 12 Inversion Coaster.

Coke Is It!
I have noticed that not many places, especially Fast Food, serve Pepsi products. The only ones that come to mind are those owned by Yum. Mexican joints around town are the only sit down joints that have it also.

Now this isn't a bad complaint at all. But, my question is, was this supposed to be his character, like in all the other Haunts? (all the other people yell at me, for fun). He was a total DB the night we were there. I just chalked it up to being part of his "Act". Real Pirates weren't exactly nice people.

Vortex vs. Diamondback
I love Inversions more than Tall Hills, so it's Vortex for me.

FL Man Dies After Winning Roach Eating Contest
Perhaps the "Life of the Party" had partaken in something beforehand that lead to his death.

FL Man Dies After Winning Roach Eating Contest
There are plenty of people in other countries/cultures that eat bugs and plenty of other things that Americans would find disgusting. There is really no harm in eating Roaches or most other bugs. The linked article was rather uninformative. I read another with comments from an Entomologist stating the eating of the bugs is OK, especially those at a Pet Store. They are raised in a controlled environment since they are sold as food and must be contaminate free. I once watched a special on weird foods. Children that were eating Coagulated Sheep Blood were revolted by the taste of Peanut Butter and other "Western" foods.

Big crowds on Saturday 10/6
Diamondback was too painful? First time I have ever heard/read that.
-
How fast can you make it to Kings Island?
Takes about 2 hours and 40 minutes, give or take. The one time I tried to make it faster, I got a Blue Light Special from Ohio's Finest.

Wow, they aren't playing around. That wood is in shreds, lol. I can just imagine the big wigs doing their best "Office Space" impressions on parts of the ride.

Big crowds on Saturday 10/6
SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! You all enjoy the lunatic crowd sizes and silly mazes. I'll wait for the day of the week when they are non existent. October is the month when one can get so many rides it hurts. Of course, now that I wrote that, the Sunday we go will actually have a large crowd.

Traveling Trash
I once a smashed Diamondback Cup in the middle of the street near my house. We are over 2 hours from the park and it was not one of our cups.
