Halloween Haunt 2013
There are many things even more frightening. I'd say more, but big brother might be watching

All time banshee rider?
Another thing that makes Kings Island special. A little mystery, and if you want to delve into it, find a site like this. Then once you find it, interact, and become part of the community, then you might get that chance ;-)

Draw your favorite ride!
Amazing artwork, I can't convey my envy of those who can put an image to paper. I myself have trouble drawing a straight line with a ruler *sigh*.

If Ouimet was CEO during the Paramount acquisition...
As I posted in another thread, I really don't find it rough at all, even the brown train in the back seems ok to me. I realize everything is relative, and rough to one is not to another. I won't say it's as smooth as it was in years past, but I really don't think it's shuffling so bad it's scrubbing speed.

Did some "field research" on Diamondback today.
We rode it all over Saturday, even got MrsNC to ride 1-1 Never made it all the way to the back, but we did make it to car 6, brown train, and it just didn't seem all that bad to me.

Thoughts/ reviews on new haunts for Haunt 2013
Went through Madame Fatale's and Club Blood this evening. Madame Fatale's, we all thought was good, my poor KIC shirt may never be the same from Mrs NoChickens death grip pulling on it, lol. Club Blood was lame. Backwoods Bayou was quite nice, again the shirt got a couple tugs. Edit: grammatical repairs

Season Passes
Yeah, doesn't really specify, but pretty sure. Never hurts to call and ask though.

Season Passes
If you get it online you can show receipt/printout for free parking. If your getting them at the gate, no. Everyone would just say they're buying passes at the gate to avoid parking fees, lol. This is my understanding anyway. Edit: Getting ready to head that way ourselves, see ya there, maybe.

Banshee Construction Progress
Seems logical enough to me, put the top of the loop on like a cap. I think it would be harder to thread the track though the loop if it was in place first. Needless to say I've not built one in the real world.

Kings Island Guide Needs Your Reviews
Seems this site has made an impact on themeparktourist.com, As The Beast, and Diamondback are now listed as the #1 and #2 rides in the world, lol.

What could KI do to each ride to improve it?
Amen to this. Not going over the top and saying they need removed, but they're just too much as is.

Flight Of Fear holding bins
When we went Friday Aug. 23rd, got on Diamondback with a couple guys Mrs.NC works with. As we dropped down the second hill we could see objects in the air, about the time someone yelled "change!!" what I believe was a nickel bounced off my sunglasses. I was quite happy that I had them on, as the impact was quite noticeable. I can only guess how bad it would have hurt without them.

Flight Of Fear holding bins
Mrs. NC usually has our backpack on FoF. Earlier this season I happened to carry it on. Lack of experience with this situation made me think i could place it between my legs then close restraints. I was wrong, thankfully a quick ride op relieved me of this cargo and the train left with no delay.

What do you picture when someone says "roller coaster"?
When someone says roller coaster, I can't name a specific picture that comes to mind. It is usually a flood of images, some very old, some quite recent, that flow into my mind.
