You forgot to mention that you need to jump up and down on your right foot, while holding your left foot behind you with your right hand. Holding the device in your left hand, point the antenna end toward Jupiter, and the screen towards Kings Island. (I don't know why you people buy devices this complicated, when ever I have problems I just give it to my daughter and she takes care of it, so it can't be that hard right?)

Yes, it was in the building next to McDonald's. Harris Corporation, and I think Fidelity are in that building now. Not much to wright home about.

The Raven (HW) "historic" video
Monroe replied to TombRaiderFTW's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Wasn't trying to correct you, just throwing some info out to help every one with the info they are looking for. Besides you got it part right, Allen did have a hand in the design of The Beast, but it was with Collins and Gramke (mostly Collins). Allen was approached to design the ride but declined, so Collins asked for some design help and wrote it down on some napkins, menus, legal pads, and probably some toilet tissue (though I have not seen the toilet tissue). Keep in mind that this kind of situation went on, and still goes on today. A specific designer gets credit for designing a specific ride, but in reality the actual design came from many ideas from many designers.- 24 replies

The Raven (HW) "historic" video
Monroe replied to TombRaiderFTW's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Larry Bill did most of the design work for The Raven I think with McNulty, neither one had any thing to do with The Beast. The only thing that strings them together is one of the designers of The Beast started a company that the two worked for. One last thing, Dinn was in charge of construction of The Beast not the design. The credit for designing The Beast goes to Collins and Gramke.- 24 replies

Q Investments Files Interesting SEC Form 4
Monroe replied to Leland Wykoff's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Or it could be a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl? (changed it because Terpy's way of spelling brooch sounds better than mine. I am not admitting that I am wrong, just conforming to a better spelling because of definition.) -
The football hall of fame is in Canton, Ohio. That's the pro football hall of fame, the College Football Hall of Fame was originally built next to KI after many arguments and hearings and meetings (Jersey boys never know whats good for them) but failed. The College Football Hall of Fame was then moved to South Bend In. but is set to move to Atlanta in 2013.

Are you talking on the PA system or do you have an alpha pager you do carry in the park? Alpha pager, I'm old but not that old

Do you think I can get them to page me with this info? I don't carry a phone in the park, too many distractions.

Such an innovator beyond roller coasters, he worked with NASA in the early years of the satellite programs and the Saturn space craft design. Godspeed my friend.

A Kings Park in Chicago?
Monroe replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Many plans never end up how they start, take CVG or greater Cincinnati airport, did you know that it was going to be ISZ (Blue Ash) or Northern Cincinnati International Airport? The Blue Ash area was also looked at before Riverfront Stadium was built. I had always thought that they were looking at other locations for KD, but I never would have guessed that it was in the Chicago area. I wonder how far west they looked: Memphis? St. Louis? Kansas City? Think of the possibilities. -
Dippin Dots Guy: What's His Future?

I get that stuff every time I go to the Air Force Museum in Dayton. You remember Dayton don't you Terp? It's that magical place where eagles learned to fly. -
Carowinds to get Windseeker in 2012
Monroe replied to PREMiERdrum's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Without conception there could not have been a birth, and without development there would not have been maturity. That's 2 to 1 in my book, I could go on and make it like 20 to 1. Just because 2 men wanted to go to the beach instead of staying in a valley.......ugh, I go away for 2 months and this is what I come home to!! -

In Ohio you can have a convention in Geneva, have lunch in London, fly a bomber over Lancaster, do a jig in Dublin, cross over to Delaware, eat at a deli in Brooklyn, visit Athens and Troy, have a shocking experience in Moscow and you can do that all today, or you can just go to Morrow.

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
Monroe replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Avatar when you are as well grounded as I am it all tends to pass right on down to ground, but some times you end up taking the cannon ball straight to the gut. off topic, or not. Did you ever think that if the Brits didn't wear red coats and if they didn't stand in a straight line in the middle of an open field, then we might be saying things like "put a damper on it , flyboy"? -

Because they are Monroe shocks I had nothing to do with those shocks, my shocks come from watts and generally travel and are not absorbed. -
