Webcams are gone?
^ That usually happens when they nearly all go down, but it's only for a little bit of time. Anyways. I don't like how messed up they are right now.

2015 talk
Maybe We'll just have 5 year intervals. Every 5 years a new coaster. In between those 5 years we'll get a flat-ride or two.

2015 talk
There is a lot of space around Backlot that could easily be used for a flat-ride or two. Maybe even 3.

KI Pet Peeves
I bet everyone can agree to this. When people, DO NOT PAY ATTENTION to the line. of ANY ride, It be a coaster, or a flat-ride. If they're sitting there looking away, and there is a HUGE gap in front of them because they're not paying attention, wanting to take stupid selfies that they'll have to re-do. There are moments, when they don't pay attention for so long, I want to just say "Hey. There's a line here." (Maybe more obscene then that...)

KI Pet Peeves
It's still 12PM, even if it doesn't say it. Why would the park open at 12am? And then close at 1AM? Sort of a waste right?

People giving false information to scare people. Including when they try to shout it a bit, so that way they 'might scare people', and get them out of line.

Banshee line
At least the Banshee station is a cool place to be at, and not a heat/humidity bomb.

Banshee line
That's why it was only 10 minutes. What is usually maybe a 30 to 45 minute wait, is a 10 to 15 minute wait on Banshee, that's the beauty of the ride!

Platinum Pass Parking
This happened at our trip to the Banshee announcement last year. We were able to get Preferred parking, for free, because we were only there for the Banshee announcement, and they allowed the go ahead, because there was only an hour left in the park anyways. And then we were able to get a preferred spot to watch the announcement, We were able to watch the entire thing with out anything obstructing our view because the security guard allowed us to watch as long as we were out of the way, and we didn't venture too far off. The only reason I told this, was because it was about the preferred parking thing, so I thought that I could mention pretty much that you can get preferred parking if you're only going to be there for like an hour, or only a half an hour.

Club Blood being removed?
Since it's a bit of a Hault Topic, what about the Phantom Theater, and the old Crypt Building? There are Perm. Fences blocking it off.

Guests Say The Darnest Things
Guest looks at Banshee, and asks operator "Does this ride go upside down?" I heard that once, and I almost turned around and said "Nooo, that is a completely different ride."

What's the longest you've ever waited for an attraction at KI?
I've had to wait 3 to 4 on Flight of Fear. Least it was air-conditioned.

Kentucky Kingdom
Diamondback also sways. I've only seen 1 support beam do it though.

Kings Island 2014 Discussion Thread
I might have exaggerated the angle the seats got, but I know it went over 45 quite a bit, maybe 15 to 20.

Kings Island 2014 Discussion Thread
(This goes with my post saying I won't be riding it much after the incident I had with it) I don't want to drive anyone away from WindSeeker, but this is my incident on WindSeeker on 5/22. What happened on WindSeeker was due to high winds. When first starting up WindSeeker, it was the usual. Music played (Star Trek to be exact) and we went up. When we got to the top and spun about 2 times, the wind picked up, causing the swings to go from 45* to 75* and the seats in front of me, kept hitting me. I pushed it forward about 8 or 9 times while on it. Every time we went around, there was a jolt forward, which was really unpleasant as the ride kept making a clicking sound every time. I tried to wave the operators to stop the ride, but I don't think they saw it/under stood the hand signal. Plenty of other people were frightened, I was holding onto the bar with my arm locked around it, not moving it one bit, even when we were low to the ground, I was still holding because we kept swinging back and forth slightly still. As said, I'm not trying to drive a crowd away from the ride, but just sharing my experience I had on the ride which is why I won't really be riding it much anymore.

Going Thursday...
^ Could I ask what those two rides were?
-
Going Thursday...
Oh give it a rest you two. Anyways, I'm just hoping that a 'chance of rain' will hit tomorrow. keeping those crowds away, making everything a near walk on. Although, I don't mind being on WindSeeker and spotting rides.

New Haunt attraction near The Beast this year?
Why build a new building that'll only be useful for Haunt? A month long event? (Spread out into two months) When they could just use the Crypt Building?

Going Thursday...
I actually am heading out to Kings Island my self on Thursday, leaving a period early at school to head down.

Threads Regarding Rides Temporarily Going Down Throughout the Day
^ Why wouldn't it be worth discussing? People may want to go to the park today, right now. Would they want to know that Banshee was down at the current time? (It's not but it was earlier and it was the first thing that I thought of) I know that you can go to the Help Center left of entering the park, behind the Fast Pass building, and there is a list there. But it would be nice to know ahead of time.
