The KIC Tradition Is Alive and Well
What kind of crap was I posting back then? Man, have I matured, that wasn't even a pun!

Cabana at Boomerang Bay and parking question
Yes, you may still rent Cabanas in Soak City at both Breakers and Tidal Wave Bays. BB1, the salt is on. "The heat is on, it's on the street the heat is on" (Also probably one of the few who go to the waterpark as much as I did.)

RMC Beast
Exactly why they should not touch it.

RMC Beast
Please do not give me that mental image, I simply cannot Bear it. The Beast is good as is, it is a record breaking coaster that still (to a lesser degree) holds true to what it is and what it will be for future generations to enjoy true, classic, 70s style coasters that still pack a punch. The wood makes The Beast, a Beast. Wet wood allows for a totally different experience than dry wood, making it a different kind of coaster on different days. RMC should never touch this magnificent being unless if they were to just touch up on the preexisting structure I e add new wood as needed.

I can tell you that Henley said it best. Good bye BB, Once again.

Carowinds' Thunder Road to race no more
Sorry for double posting but please note Paramount Parks on that plan board for the overall. (Maybe Paramount has been Cedar Fair all along?!)

2016 announcement?
Or go and buy a pail of Pop Corn from Hollywood Studios (MGM for some of us older park guests), universal and interesting to carry onto a space attraction. One of the best places(and only place for me) to get pop corn, along with Mickey Mouse Ice Cream and or frozen bananas.

A Plea for BB
Anything and everything, theming, signs, cool stuff in the stores. Slides, theming along slides, etc.

A Plea for BB
As you may have noticed, I am a huge enthusiast of Boomerang Bay. I didn't make it down for this year to CWBBand I am somewhat worried that it won't be around next year. So, this is a plea for our Carolina based members, if you have any kind of photos, or if you could, take photos, videos, etc, of BB, could you post it to this section just so that I could just see BB still alive and kicking? Thanks so much in advance, BB1, nostalgic

2016 announcement?
Some are happy, others, sad that Racers aren't getting the boot? Or that people wanted a flat, meanwhile, BB1 is just happy with future relaxing in that beautiful piece of fiberglass.

Kings Island overall food concession experience 2015
I have a bittersweet relation ship with ribs. Montgomery Inn (the last of were in the late 2000's) that I have had were of good taste until eventually I quit going there due to the economy. Since, I have been to many great places in the south where I have experienced some of the best ribs of my life. I haven't had ribs in months until I went to COASTER STOCK of which the ribs were just of a lowe quality with all of the fat and barely any meat and made me look like a fool in front of other enthusiasts. I have never been to RHOFG nor to Montgomery to see if I just got bad ribs or if the recipe has changed in bulk. I hope that I only got a bad batch, as it is not the quality I know Kings Island for.

Kings Island overall food concession experience 2015
COASTERSTOCK ribs were most definitely not Montgomery Inn quality, I can guarantee it. If so, then I need to go to the deep south for some other "style" ribs.

The ribs, need I say more? There are always ways to make a program better, as the industry is always ever changing.

Does Kings Island's All Season Dining Plan Affect Other Businesses?
I rarely eat at Kings Island anyways as I am more of a fan for other local fanfares like Potbelly's and Blue Ash Chili. But as for other guests, I see that the KI Rush has died down. I usually go to places like Taco Bell, Skyline (RARELY will I go here), Chipotle, Jimmy John's after the park is closed and I can notice that it has died down some what except with this new 8 PM Close that occurred to which there was an influx of patrons. Then let's add into the mix of other restaurants and venues at hotels like GWL to where people flock to after a day at the park and it is visible that the people would be more dispersed making the rush even less discernible. I can most certainly agree that the food administered with the ASFP works and it is a great deal after you do the math; and will probably become more of a perennial favorite as more guests upgrade for 2016.

#PlatformWatch Day 50, they have noticed me, but not of my purpose. Don tries to pry my secrets open, but I am just a platform.

Kings Island 2015 Discussion Thread
Selfish? Fish from sel? I would certainly hope not!I'm actually pretty surprised how quickly this Summer has passed by. Here I was expecting a longer time period with more planning time. Nope, it has come and will go as soon as it started. I should really try to get some more summer night rides on The Beast before it is over!

Would YOU attend a 2015 KICentral Event?
I am usually the guy to post this kind of topic. I would like to, but my problem this year is that my schedule is too volatile. I would prefer an end of summer event possibly to get some final summer rides on Woodstock and to get some Beast rides in.

Carowinds: "There's more than one way to make a BIG splash in 2016..."
Could Carolina Harbor be just a new area to Carowinds? We don't take into the idea that an Harbor does not necessarily state a waterpark, it could be a region of water coasters. Just putting ideas out there, remember me as a Centurion?

What is a "Dark Ride?"
I have basically three categories of dark rides: Dark coasters, Dark water attractions (something is in the water....), and Dark conveyors. Personally, if you put something in the dark, it's a dark ride.

Carowinds: "There's more than one way to make a BIG splash in 2016..."
Actually that's a little bit off. Originally there were 3 Boomerang Bays, KI, CW, and CGA. The first of the two now being the most themed, the first out, second one out the door, the third still around.
