If this thing is going to somehow get close to The Beast, I begin to wonder if it will have a theme related to SOBs ‘return’. Perhaps it will finally get to snuggle up near its mama after all these years... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Leaving one night at closing, I noticed the lot was filled with cars who were idling and had lights on. I was curious. It turned out those cars were picking up kids that were dropped off earlier. My guess is that it is extra parking for pick up at night as to not block the road in front of Kings Island. However, that is prime parking and you would think that the park would also want that for their paying guests who fork over a good chunk of change to park. Not sure what the solution is, though.

I second, third and fourth the sentiment on the music. Mrs. Festhaus and I were milling about yesterday and were taken aback by the music. It almost brought a tear to my eye because it was majestic. Made everything seem different. The fountains and Eiffel Tower felt grander and what has become routine, walking around I.S., felt like I was on a vacation. When you go to a park it should feel like an event. Having different music, instead of the same pop stuff, takes you away from outside life and make the area you are in now more special. It was amazing what happens when you spice up one of the 5 senses that I think gets forgotten. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, download the LiveStream app and search for the Kings Island channel. You will find it there. It will go live at 9:55. FWIW, I downloaded the LiveStream channel on my Roku and it looks like it will work great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure, tbh. I know if you swing around to the left and look across the bottom of the lift hill, you look directly at the opposite side of the reservoir bank that has been cleared. I am assuming based on the drawings that have been hypothesized that the coaster will come flying across there. I don't remember any markers and will be interested if they clear this area once WWC closes for the year or if they attack this area when customers are present. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Took this picture yesterday and thought that that, if the predictions of layout are correct, this view is going to be drastically different very soon. Bittersweet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Total decoding mode here.... Possible animalish face in top right hand corner? Kinda has two teeth sticking out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thinking about the name... All of this falling trees and then possible lumberjack type names being thrown around here yet the countdown on the KI website talks about "nature taking over. " Completely different lines of thought going on. Me thinks Mother Nature is not happy and she will have her revenge somehow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rollercoaster "crashed off it's rails". Nothing else more to the story, yet. BBC News - Rollercoaster crashes at M&D's theme park in Motherwell http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-36635086 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't want any more teasers. Quite simply, I need more teasers. C'mon Don, l bring them on! This is great stuff! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jdawg... Could it be either Hillary Duff "All About You" or Stacie Orrico "Stuck"? Just a shot in the dark. Similar lyrics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Customer service and common sense. People make mistakes and that is okay. Everything doesn't have to be black and white. Was on Disney property in April. I missed my turn off and didn't realize it. Staring straight at the gate to Animal Kingdom with no turn around. Talked to the lady. 30 seconds later I am through the gate following signs for the exit. No $$$ out of my pocket and heading to my destination. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been to the park many, many times over the years and perhaps I have not been paying attention but today was the first day I have noticed the people parking at the end of each row illegally, on the yellow lined areas next to the trash cans that clearly is marked for no parking, receive a parking citation. Each car parked that way had one on their windshield, about 5 that I could see. Perhaps this has gone on before but it was a pleasant surprise and probably a unpleasant one after a day at the park for some. Maybe this is how they are paying for our giga log flume.

The northern entrance and exit truly is a problem. Here is another story for posterity sake [emoji6]. Yesterday, a car was slow turning left from the north. The car behind assumed the car in front would quickly enter and followed. Because the first car was slow in turning the car behind was left in the middle of the intersection. A northbound car was speeding and had to swerve out if the way. Something bad is going to happen. This entrance is just weird. Also, exiting from the north exit and turning left was awkward. Normally turn right out of there but decided to go left at the last second to run an errand. As stated earlier, the first little pole was bent over but it also seemed that those poles came over into the exit lane. Hard to explain but here is a picture... I can't imagine how hard this would be to navigate at 10 when it's dark and a bunch of cats around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
