Banshee Construction Progress
Nice picture of the station; the turn out of the station reminds me a bit like the start of Wild Eagle. Only 52 more days...

Action Zone Re-theming for 2014
(in response to Tuskin's "live action" post) Did someone say "live action"? Better call the Turtle Man to investigate The Bat problem in Action Zone! EDIT/NOTE: The Bat was automatically capitalized; but in this sentence, it was intended to be left un-capitalized (as in, "The Bat" I'm talking about is not necessarily referring to the ride, but the animal)

KI Throwback Photo of The Day
Here's a pic from 2004 (I think? *See EDIT*): Fun Fact: This was my first ever profile picture on Facebook. EDIT: I'm not actually sure when the picture was taken, because the picture's file says 2008, but I'm pretty sure it's before that as this picture was taken with a disposable camera and scanned into the computer. I think it's at least from some part of the Paramount years.

Kings Island Dreams
I had a dream last night that I was outside the park and noticed that some parts of the skyline had changed (The Eiffel Tower was skinnier and had the top roped off; there was also another (observation?) tower ride in the direction of Action Zone (don't know for sure where it was as I could only see the skyline of the park as I was standing in the parking lot). There might have been other changes too, but I don't remember.

Glencoe Algebra 1 book
^ Good point about the stripe being towards the top of the train. I looked at BB1's picture again after reading the above post and I now think the mystery coaster is Demon.

Glencoe Algebra 1 book
I'm thinking it's (the first picture of the non-inverted coaster) either Vortex or Anaconda at Kings Dominion because of this picture: http://rcdb.com/92.htm# EDIT: Just realized my link just takes you the Anaconda's page and not the picture. The picture I'm referring to is the 2nd picture (a whole view of the ride when it had an older paint scheme)

What Live Shows Can We Expect In The 2014 Season?
I really hope Blood Drums comes back for Haunt as I thought it was awesome! Also, I'm pumped that Playlist Live! is back as I really enjoyed this show last year

Banshee Construction Progress
(in response to the picture of Banshee's car on the track) I call dibs on one of the inside seats This makes me so ready for April, though I'll most likely be experiencing Banshee's awesomeness in May. EDIT: Those trains look pretty awesome!

New for 2014 - Platinum/Gold Passes & Unlimited Dinosaurs Alive Access
Personally, I think the trail itself is pretty cool; for those who haven't been, you should do it at least once!

Week VII: After Park Dining
I don't usually go out to eat after a day at KI (whether it be for work or play), however, I have gone places other than home upon leaving the park on at least one occasion. After one trip where my uncle and I rode only 4 rides (I remember we rode Drop Tower and Vortex as our first and last rides, but I can't remember the other two) and ate some dinner in Rivertown, we decided to see Despicable Me 2, which was hilarious!!!

Hot new items!
Is it known if the hot sauce will be at various food locations throughout the park or just at one location?

Banshee Construction Progress
(in response to BB1's post about the importance of capitalization during web site coding: "Pay close attention to your HTML coding, capitalize all the necessary codes, because if you don't, poof. Your website will not work.") Exactly. I know first hand the consequences of not following exact HTML syntax. There have been a few times when I've coded and wondered why my site won't load, but then I've found a tiny little syntax error that I overlooked. So, the lesson here is this: always double-check your code! Oh, and more on topic, 69 days till Banshee opens; Woo-hoo!!!!

Invertigo Station Music
(In response to FoF96" 's post about shuttle loops being loud) Maybe this was because I was young at the time, but I remember King Cobra's brakes being super loud when I was waiting in line. Did anyone else (yes, someone probably did ) think that King Cobra's brakes were super loud?
-
Delirium Music?
Delirium music is "Sweetness" by Jimmy Eat World and Drop Tower music is "Right Now" by Van Halen

Coaster Crew and Media day
Got my stuff Thursday night and I was so pumped!

Invertigo Station Music
I love Invertigo's music as well as the other station music that's been mentioned. I've actually never heard (or maybe I haven't really noticed) Maverick or Wicked Twister's station music while in line for/on the rides; however, I have heard both Millennium's music and Dragster's music while in line for in the station of those two rides.

water park improvements
I think a perfect place to add a new slide/slide complex would be in the grassy area in the vicinity of Tidal Wave Bay (the new wavepool), near the sand volleyball courts. This area is (imo) plenty big and the placement of a new slide(s) in this area could add to the skyline of the park. As for a certain type of slide, I'd like a slide where the bottom drops out (like the new one going into Kentucky Kingdom). Also, I really like the old wave pool.

What ride are you going to ride first in 2014?
I'm thinking Firehawk, then Banshee

Flashback Till February 2014
I just thought of a different idea... maybe it's an old picture of the train's bridge during construction
-
Flashback Till February 2014
As for TopGun1993's new picture, I'm going to guess it's part of White Water Canyon's line.

Banshee Construction Progress
Sorry if I'm a little late to this (my internet wasn't working this morning...), but I'm so excited that Banshee's done. Now time for testing, more theming and all that other good stuff! 85 more days!!!!

Flashback Till February 2014
I don't remember The Vortex hands, but definitely remember The Beast's footprints!

You Know It's the Off Season When...
I started a countdown on my calendar a few days ago! As of right now, only 87 more days until Firehawk, Banshee, Adventure Express and all the other great rides KI has to offer are officially open for the 2014 season!
