DeLorean Rider

While I was working there last year at tiques, I had a chance to walk the south track and there are a lot of places where the metal rail in the middle is broken. The lay of the course to me at least seemed to be better thatn the north side, it just seemed a little more remote. I remember being there while some idiot college kids ditched two cars at the same time and then left the course somewhere, that was interesting when all the cars stopped coming into the station.

LOL, last year they used it for the employee PKI Idol. Good times

The no smoking spiels, ride break down spiels, and handrail spiels at the new coasters are all Jeff Seibert.

Ok for one, there are no major problems with SOB. The Bat did. (oh and for the record, no one EVER, I mean no one ever died on The Bat, the worst anyone got was a crick in their neck) anyway, The Bat had little to no banking on the turns because they thought they could rely on the shocks which had to be replaced weekly. Also The Bat had the pinch breaks and break fins on the bottom of the car. this caused major stress on the body of the train. If u'll notice top gun and every other suspended coaster has the breaks directly under the track which you cant really see cause of all the stuff up there. Here is a picture of this, (lol, notice the lady holding her neck) These are all design flaws that were wrong with the actual stucture. There are no big design flaws with SOB. SOB's not going anywhere.

I swear, do you know what the number one thing that we clean up in lines at the end of the night are?, Cig butts, its terrible. Seriously, Im a nice guy and all but when it comes to other guests health in a family park w/kids everywhere, thats where I draw the line, I ask for the cig out, if it doesn't go out or another one lights up, its time to call security. I just wish it was a lot easier to enforce the rule. We need like queue line mic.s at greeter, lol.

I heard that origionally Delirium was going to be themed to an inverted log flume, this is true, ask any supervisor in the Action Zone. Also I heard that due to the magnitisim of the breaks on drop zone, people with difibrulators, pacemakers, or steal plates in their bodies are no longer past the festhaus, or the paramount theater or else their bodies will get plastered up against the tower. I heard that Vortex was going to be completely filpped upside down and get wild mouse flying trains on it and be themed to mardi gras. (because of when the girls are upside down and people look up, lol, JK) Oh and action theater is getting a porno for the other side. Sorry if I offend anyone, but I have seriously heard these things, duh they're false but still fun.

I cant vote in this one, lol, my first coaster was the Scooby Zoom, AKA now Top Cats Taxi Jam. My first time to KI was winterfest when I was like 5.

They've been saying that they are going to have a lot less concrete and a lot more sand. Does anyone know where the sand is going to go because I could see this a major problem with people getting sand stuck to their feet then going on the rides and the pumps getting overwhelmingly full of the sand.

Wow, do you have any idea how hard a decision this is, its like so close. I gotta go with sparky just cause Ive read a lot more of his posts. Drew you came like this close but to me sparky took the cake. LOL, ya gotta love these guys

Wow, that I didn't know, thanks for the info, this june may not be as plesant as one may have hoped.

Yea even in KI alone, think about how much has changed since, well Vortex was put in. Wow thats a lot. I think probably the worst place will be back in the woods where The Beast is just cause its been really undisturbed. I could see someone on The Beast getting hit by a cicada while riding. LOL the next Fabio story

Obviously this is the year of the cicadas and I kno this has got some people all worried and want KI to do something about it but really what can they do. I kno a lady in the communications and she said she has had numerious calls from guests concerned with the cicadas this year. I dont know what these people want KI to do. Just talk about this, if you have any thoughts or input on the situation please post.

that makes since teenageninja joe, in that case i take back all the mean things i said about Kings Island. Love ya PKI

Yea I get it now, I just wasnt sure cause u kno like FOF always used to have four trains before the new restraints, they would only run three at a time but they still had four. I just wasnt sure is somewhere there was a reserve beast train.

Oh and who here remembers when Drop Zone first opened, the very first year, it went around twice while climbing the tower. Like you were rotating almost the entire way up the tower, instead of now where you do one rotation to where you go halfway up and then just go straight up.

When did beast ever have 4 trains?? And hey, who can forget missing winterfest, yea good times. However, rumors, rumors, rumors, about winterfest. Oh and the totally awesomely sweet old que line on top gun with the misslies and the cockpit and everything. yea good times

Seriously how does KI expect everyone to get a gold pass before may 23 if they're not gonna be open all the time. Seems like right now at least untill after may 23 Kings Island should be processing passes when its convienent for the guests not when its convienent for KI.

Wow yea that really sucks, I could see that really ****ing some people off. Especially when KI wants everyone to get a season pass? This seems like prime time to keep the processing place open as much as possible. If those are indeed the only dates it is open then I must admit that is a bad move on KI's part.

Yea its pretty good, it has been better, like the first year was by far the best year cause the attractions were the best. Like the Terror Tower, The mummys crypt that was in the enchanted theater in HB was awesome and the one in Phantom theater was awesome. Plus the first year they had the theme of, "at _:__ o'clock, the park gets struck by lightning, the whole park goes dark, emerging from the darkness come the most terrafying creatures on the face of the earth." and they actually followed that, at i think Eight O'Clock There was a huge firework that shot off the Eiffel Tower that looked like a bolt of lightning and every light in the park went out for about 30 seconds, then out of the shops and such on international street came all of the "creatures" I must admit, that year was worth the 17 bucks at Blockbuster. However when they tried to move it all to coney mall, I think it all went down hill. Seriously probably the best move they could have made last year was make it free with admission. But hopefully good things are in the future.

Yea, um, Im definately gonna have to disagree with you there tanner, I know for a fact that I was in the top of the Eiffel Tower in paris on march 31. I could prove it cause I have pics of me there but I still dont know how to put a picture from my comp in my post.

Seriously I dont doubt that the KI Effile Tower Could fit under the real thing and yea its freaky to see it sway. Does anyone kno how to upload a picture from my computer into a post? I have a couple awesome pictures of the effile tower in paris when they light it up. Every hour on the hour 8-11 for 10 min (9-9:10) they turn on 20,000 little strobe lights on the effile tower and it is totally awesome, KI should think about that. But yea how do u upload pics?

Yea, not that the 80's were bad or nething but we really should get some new music.

Its cool I understand, Im sorry if I came off to be harsh.

Dude, ur crazy, there arent any trees to block the sound at AZ, from SOB greeter, I can hear the phone ring at both sides of Skyflier, Dot and Dropzone, mind you thats with the music playing in AZ. Seriously all the music would clash together. CP has the trees and there is a much greater distance between rides. One reason why we can have music on Top Gun is cause its so far back that you cant hear it from anywhere else.

Coney because if nothing else, they need it to bring a little more life into it, im not sayin that it is dead or anything but I think KI needs to kinda take a step away from the "coney island"genre theyre tryin to go for. (cause i mean really, how well does fof go in coney island?)
