People Eating Tasty Animals.

Did anyone else read the title as "Tasers"? How about a roller coaster made out of.... wait for it... chocolate! Just don't ride it in the summer... "Welcome to the county court office ma'am. what can I help you with?" "I was riding on some chocolate and it must of been to hot because the chocolate began to melt and the ride feel apart. I went to the hospital and found out I popped a blood vessel! So I would like to sue Kings Island!" (lady at the desk) "Oh my gosh! That's terrible! (picks up phone and dials a number) Hello? Ah yes I need you to come and take this lady to a insane asylum... (hangs up) Have a great day!"

I have plans of doing Ride Op assist. I have a high level of patience and very nice. I used to do admissions at a family ran place and was during the fall season so i'm used to the colder weather and used to the occasional upset person. Hot will take some getting used to (like warm/hot weather over cold any day though). Rain, I think it would be kind of fun to work in rain! I remember riding The Beast (Paramount era) in a down pour, it was really fun I thought! I think hardest part for me might be turning away the lil ones that want to ride...

Thank You everyone! I hope to get a job their this summer (if not defiantly next year or a Haunt actor) Even if I made min wage I would still be happy! 7.85*30= $235.50 A lot better than not making any money! (that is before taxes but still)

Calendar isn't working right.

Thank You! Sorry I didn't think of this earlier but do you usually get free tickets for friends and family's and any discount on in park merchandise and food? Not trying to sound greedy cause free entrance to every CF theme park is more than I expected and is very nice, but I was just wondering if you get anything else.

I have 2 questions. 1. Do they hire even more people in the summer? 2. If you have a job their does your name badge ID card (I don't know if you get a ID card or not) get you into the park for free? like the days you have off and want to go to the park will your name badge get you in like a gold pass?

To be honest i'm surprised with the amount of people who don't care as long as park is open. so many were happy with CF running KI instead of Paramount, but yet their is so many that don't care as long as KI is open... note: that is not judging anyone but I find it a bit odd. P.S. Like your pic HTCO.

Do you think KI will continue to be owned by CF? I think KI will stay with CF.

Another factor could be if the population near KI increases. I think a increase in amount of attendance for this year.

I think things are really looking up for KI, or down depending on how you look at it.

Sorry about poor spelling and double post but having much trouble fixing it from my phone. Sorry about that.

When the power outage happened o. July 4th a few years back I think guests should of got a free ticket. King of ironic story fo go with it. I was getting ready to get of FoF like 3 people away aand ride closed due to power outage. Waited a good time for tht too.

Imagine your in line for The Beast been waiting for an hour+ and ride breakes down. You will be pretty upset. What if to ease some of the anger the park offered a one time use free Fast Lane ticket to everyone In line? Stuff like that I think it would be nice if the park offered a free one time use Fast Lane ticket.

I wonder how much it would be to get the rights back for Backlot at least? I loved the name, the fog, fire, water spraying, even the doors that closed on the Mini Coopers to make it feel like a car and a movie style ride! It would probably make the ride decently more busy with just the name change back to Italian Job. Control panels and clip boards still say Italian Job last I checked.

Can anything be said about the Fountains that Mr.Ouimet said their will be changes to? Will it happen this year?

In a way I'm a bit glad SoB was never reopened... I say this because I gotten older since 2008 (last time I rode it) and I could of had bad experience(s) on the ride in 2010-2012. I got taller broad shouldered and what not more between then and now and lord knows if the ride reopened I might hate it now. So all in all I'm glad I my last ride was on a high note but I do wish I could of rode it one more time before being torn down. I actually had a dream that they reopened it and they were testing it with some new themed cars. You could ride in trains that looked like monster truck, taxi, and a police car (I think their was others but can't remember).

I really like all the things they said. The fountains, I wonder if we might see a nighttime show with them...

Add a few zombies too! Everything is better with zombies! I've had zombie fever ever since Walking Dead and I don't know what day I'll change into one...

I like the train idea! I think could do reenactments of wars or something as the train is chugging along.

Has their ever been talk/plans of changing Kings Island's name (in year's past)? I'm fine with the name but I'm just curious if their have ever been plans. If their were plans could you say what some of them were?

Anyone know what CF had before they had the peanut gang?

That is true... OK something (that sounds simple) that could be done with the fireworks is sync. some music with fireworks and sync it with the Peanut light display. Have music played all thought out the park too.

Fireworks would problay be a great way to save money on amusement/theme park(s). Let's say it is around what $10,000 each night they launch fire works? Then x the 70 days they said in the article (for KD). About $700,000 in fireworks to be shot off in a season at KI. Then 4th of july problay double possibly triple of a regular night. So guessing here but KI spends anywhere from (if fireworks cost 5,000 a night out of 70) $350,000-1.4 million+ (if fireworks are $20,000 a night or higher) Just think if KI did fireworks just two times out of a year (ounce problay on 4th of July then possibly memorial day?) It would cost problay under $50,000 a year. Which would suck only two firework displays a year but would give them quiet a bit of extra dough to play around with. Would also save The Beast 30min in downtime because of fireworks, but I like fireworks just as much as the next guy... For something positive you get something negative in this case... Note: my math could be totally off, could be to high or to low.

Seeing a wooden coaster back in the woods, with snow covering it has to be pretty beastly!
