Kings Island 2015 Discussion Thread
Fireworks usually are 9:55 and by the time they finish it's like 10:05 or something like that. But they probably did it early for as you said, incoming weather. Plus the park wasn't THAT busy at all.

2016 announcement?
There isn't much activity that has gone in in Soak City. I've never noticed any markers. BUT, that doesn't stop them from using the grassy are between the gate and Tidal Wave Bay. By the way, The reason I didn't mark the whole area is that I am smart enough to know that Kings Island has to be cautious with the power lines that run right through the middle of Soak City. I know the Kiddie pool in the middle is pretty close, but it's still far enough away. That's why I didn't highlight the entire area. But anyways, I could see a new 4 person slide thing, or maybe 2 to 4 individual tube slides right there.

Interesting Things Ride-Ops Do
Was listening to the Drop Tower and I heard as the ride was at the top "10. 9, 8, 7, 6, 5" -ride releases- As soon as the ride slowed down the operator said "oops, sorry I miss counted.

Children Who Are or Seem to Be Afraid
^ Locations are important. I really couldn't tell what parks you were talking about until you said Kumba, and then I knew it was Busch Gardens. (Not that it's a bad thing, but it's still a good suggestion to state where 'down here' was at.

Next New Ride?
I believe Kings Island should try to use the Crypt building for it's advantages. Like a ride like this? Or, if you want. I can just make a ride using my skills. haha Also, is anyone else noticing a lot of side advertisements?

Kings Island trip June 18th/19th
I want to say what everyone probably thinks. That Ride operators do not know. But in fact, they TRULY do not know what is wrong. The only people that do know what is wrong with the ride are the park mechanics. So when they do say they don't know. They REALLY don't know what's wrong. If you listen to the radios from park supervisors (Green shirts) you can sometimes hear when a ride breaks down, and most of the time it's electrical of mechanical. That's it.

^ KI Five is usually at Diamondback around 11 or so, and at 12 they walk back somewhere else going through Snoopy. And the Paint Department usually goes out every day, or every other day. something like that.

Shockwave closing at KD
If FoF can perform inversions with out the OTS Restraints. Then SO CAN Vortex. Grr Am I not the only one that speaks of behalf of Vortex, that the ride would be MUCH more enjoyable with different restraints

Yes, that's most definitely a rare FOF Rollback. (Or it might be a bit common, and only happens in the mornings or something)

It's possible for both to happen. If you saw it then it rolled back. It almost did it to me a while ago.

Shout Out Some Good News about KI
I am also working at Kings Island, you'd be surprised how often I see Alex while on break. haha. Good guy. He's worked at Backlot, and Banshee as well as Diamondback. But Diamondback is his main ride.

I know the Adventure Express crew will sometimes, maybe most of the time. Will wave at you on Banshee as you go into the drop. I always wave back. (This is only during ERT)

It is the only ride of exception from stage 2. (That, and Boo Blasters)

Too Large To Ride?
Any ride that has a height limit will be posted. If you feel like you're too tall jus give it a quick check. Rides like Diamondback, Delirium, and Banshee have a testing seat if you want to give it a quick try out.

What Kinda Music You like to Hear in PKI
I believe the music line up is perfect. At least to me. I do know that this thread was made in 2003. But it's still good to toss it out there.

Next New Ride?
Just like with my Intamin Launch Coaster "Horizon" There is plenty of places you can place a roller coaster, or ride at the park. Especially around the Eiffel Tower! (Exclude an area around the Carousel. Obviously Kings Island wouldn't get rid of that. Not for a very long time. With just that area alone, I can come up with many concepts for rides right there! Maybe add the Gerstauler Sky thingy. Or What ever you guys are suggesting! Maybe try to have an old ride make a return like Woodstock Gliders.

Kings Island's Food Truck Festival
I will try to state this a lot. This is going to be hard for people that clean the park to work. Please toss any food you are not eating away, and try your best to clean up after your selves! It will be a busy festival. Especially with Food Trucks involved. We all love food from Food Trucks. But do a favor, and pick up after your selves. Try to at the minimum, or do your best! We want all guests to have a fun time and enjoyable, memorable weekend at the park. There is only so many people that can clean the park. Guest can help out the Park Services by cleaning up after themselves once they are done! Saves time, and helps us get more done. It'll be a long two days.
