This poll is just to try and pass time until next summer so have fun!

Coasters mostly, but have to say all the above as well!

For me it's the park atmosphere. I have not been on a coaster at Kings Island since early August out of 6 visits since then. I can wait for coasters. But not a great day spending time at my second home!

Can't really choose one thing. I miss the park's atmosphere, but I also very much miss having the ability to spontaneously take one of my passholder friends with me to ride coasters for the heck of it. Spontaneous KI trips pretty much make my summers.

^ same here

I miss the people, the park, and the very familiar Kings Island that has been a part of my life for 40 seasons now.

not listed.... but if KI were open that would mean it would be, on average, 30 degrees warmer.

...not necessarily. It seldom was, for example, during Winterfest.

I miss my friends that I typically see at the park. Whether hanging out or riding rides, there is a group of people I know through KI and KIC. I haven't seen most in months as I was unable to visit the park in late Sept/Oct and have not been able to meet up outside the park.

Looking forward to telling everyone "Happy New Year" in April!

Halloween Haunt. I just love the atmosphere of the park during Haunt. The fog, the scenes and props, the crisp, cold air hitting my face while riding The Beast at night, the leaves changing colors. There may be better haunted attractions out there, but you won't find a better overall haunted attraction experience around than at Haunt. The atmosphere is second to none.

It's nice that so many people have chosen the park's atmosphere.

(That was my choice, obviously.)

Something there is nothing said about WindSeeker. Mr. Kinzel did say it would be a sleeper.

At the end of next season, Mr. Kinzel can himself be one of the choices!

Terp, who remembers when we met. . .

I miss hanging out there with friends and family, and it's only been a little over two weeks since the last time. We'll get together every once in a while over the off-season and we'll still have fun, but it's not the same as going to KI (or other parks) with them.

Vortex and Diamondback

You reference this a lot - any chance you are ever going to share more details?

A year or specific date would be a good start!

A. 'twas many years ago.

B. One must remember Terp enjoys being punny. The new CEO to be soon? Terp doesn't remember if we met, but if we did it would have been at IAAPA, which is, coincidentally, this week this year. Old Terp was going this year, but changed plains in Atlanta....

I miss Diamondback, The Beast, FOF, Firehawk, Vortex, Racer, atmosphere, Drop Tower, Crypt, hanging with friends, WindSeeker, basically everything

Atmosphere. The reason I go to King's Island is just the look of it and the enjoyment of walking around with the girlfriend. If I want coasters then I drive on up to Cedar Point. Thats the best part of living exactly in the middle of both.

The park atmosphere. I could go to the park and walk around all day and not ride anything. Just the sounds or the park, the food, watching rides, and walking around the shops is good enough for me. (don't get me wrong I wouldn't go to the park all summer and not ride anything. lol)

My husband makes fun of me because I love Kings Island so much, and talk about it so much. But everyone has something they love. Just as someone might love cooking, sports, scuba diving, rock climbing. whatever it may be. Well I love KI and Just the atmosphere of being there at my favorite place, makes me happy. Its my second home.

I miss everything about the park, especially the Blue ice cream, it's the BEST ice cream ever!! I just started riding coasters this season and now I can't believe I waited so long to start enjoying them. Can't wait to be back on The Beast!

I find it to be my place to go de-stress and forget about everyday life for a while. Like you said, some people have sports, TV, or fishing. We have KI!

Can't wait to be back on The Beast!

Here here!

I miss working at the park. I worked at the park for Halloween Haunt and loved it. Was my first time working at the park. I may work a whole season next year. The people i worked with were freaking sweet too. Lol.

I would have to say that it is a close call between park atmosphere and coasters but I would have to say that I miss The Beast most of all because it is my favorite thing about Kings Island besides everything else. I love it's woodie roughness and layout while twisting through the depths of the forest. I do also miss just being at the park all together. The employees are always so respectful and caring for park guests, which has always made me feel very welcomed to the park. I also kind of miss FOF and Diamondback along with the rest of the coaster's.

I miss the overall park atmosphere and just being able to walk around in the park and go take a ride on Diamondback, go marathon Drop Tower, get soaked on White Water Canyon, or even just enjoy a mid summer night's walk through the park looking at the majesty at night.

Sometimes, on a particularly nice day, I want to go to the park, and drat if it isn't closed.

Makes me wish for the super future city glass bubbles over cities like you see in fifties sci fi movies.

walking on The Beast on a Sunday in september

I miss Adventure Express!

Atmosphere, a lot of times I'll just go and take pictures or site see.
