Kings Island 7/2/14: The stolen phone
It was $169 from Verizon. Maybe I'll invest in one of those cases if I'm going to be there so much this summer. Especially if the phone is $169. Stupid me.

You Know It's the Off Season When...
When you try to find a reason to go out to Kings Mills just so you can drive by Kings Island. Sigh.

Kings Island 7/2/14: The stolen phone
What are the odds? Hopefully is was a lesson learned......not just for amusement parks but life in general. I know, I know. I still kick myself for it. Probably the stupidest thing I've ever done.Sent from my (new) iPhone using Tapatalk

Kings Island 7/2/14: The stolen phone
Yes, yes, I am aware that it is well past July the 2nd of 2014, but I have decided to share this now. I start out at the main gate, excited to get started. I have a somewhat normal day for a while, until I sit down on The Racer, pick something up from under me, and give it to the ride associate. It was a wallet. He takes it, asks me if I stole anything from it, and I replied "God no". He then puts the wallet by the ride operator. (This occurred on the blue side). I ride some coasters, until my friend begs me to ride White Water Canyon. I eventually do it, but I didn't want to buy a locker, and I didn't want to keep my phone in my pocket. So I figured, what are the odds of my bag getting stolen? (The bag contained my glasses, two CF platinum passes, and my iPhone 5C). I put it in the storage thingy and started riding. I get off the ride, and to my surprise, my bag is gone. I told the attendant, and they called security. A Warren County sheriff along with a KI Security officer came. They escorted me to the security office. On the door, there was a sign that read "Paramount's Kings Island Police. Respect and Courtesy." (Something like that, I don't remember all of it). Anyways, I go in to the office, file a report, turn "Lost Mode" on with iCloud and talk to some very nice KIPD officers. (Black uniformed, sworn officers). We talk about the how common stolen phones are at the park. I didn't let the phone thing ruin my day, so I rode Diamondback one last time before it was time to go home. When I got home, I received a call on my landline. It was my phone number. I answered it, and "Officer Daniels" from Kings Island Police Department was calling with a badge number of **** (don't remember it). He gave us a number to call security after I asked, (Since I was suspicious) and I called it. It didn't go through. I looked up security's number and called it. They told me there was no "Officer Daniels" and it was fake. It was the people who stole my phone calling. I looked on Find My iPhone and it said the phone was by the big Kings Island sign. Security went to the location attempted to call the phone but didn't hear anything. The next morning, at 5:00 AM, I got another call from the phone. This time it was a girl. She said she was another officer and wanted the passcode to get in. I hung up. The phones last known location was in a horrible area on the west side of downtown Cincinnati in some field. We attempted to look for it. We had no luck. Since then, there is no sign of the phone. Thanks for reading!!! Sent from my (new) iPhone using Tapatalk

old track pieces and zoo cages
Good explanation. If the restraints are indeed used for Shockwave, it'd be pretty cool to seem them again. (Sigh). As for the satellite image of the trains at the junkyard in KI, why were they outside? Weren't they stored inside the Flight of Fear?

It is odd. KI has been somewhat quiet about the petting zoo.

Remnants of past attractions
Sorry for my grammar error, I did not mean to start a war. Back to the remnants of past attractions, (Remember, thats what the thread is about?)... BB1 has made an interesting list. Maybe I'll just ride the back seat of the red racer (although wouldn't it be blue?) and see if I can find those trains. Don't know why, but Kings Island history fascinates me.

Week XIV: SuperBowl XLIX Ads
Budweiser one was great, loved the Doritos one, and the KIA one was ok. But overall for this year, it really could have been better.

I have been in the security office, and there are only little box shaped rooms for holding people.

Week IV: Best Cedar Fair (Owned) Kings Island Addition
In my opinion, Cedar Fair has done better than any other park owner. Paramount brought in some Premier Rides, (some sinfully replacing flying eagles). While Taft created the park, so I'm not going to argue in that area, however, Cedar Fair brought in the big rides, the B&Ms. Which really helped the park. Not to mention Firehawk. As for my favorite ride that Cedar Fair brought in, I'm going to have to say Diamondback. 2nd is Banshee, 3rd is the Soak City revamp. I guarantee to you that them Bringing back The Bat and flying eagles is the work of Don.

Does anyone have any pictures or memories of the old inflatable theater? I've never seen it in person, and in pictures I thought it looked pretty cool.

1972 Kings Island Map on eBay
Thanks! I did the same thing with myself, trying to find some good reasons why I shouldn't pay 50 bucks for a map.
