Any plans for it this year? I need to check up on my old KIC brahs...

The only place KI would move Crypt, would be to the scrap yard.

Outer Hanks fries are SOOOO good if you ask for a little extra seasoning on them (they should be able to do that if it's not extremely busy), especially if they're right out of the fryer. Other food related notes: 1. Half Sprite, Half lemonade. Only thing I drink there, but make sure the lemonade is put in first. It makes it less fizzy if they put in Sprite then lemonade. 2. Yes, your 2000 Son of Beast cup can still be used. Cups from other parks technically can't be used, but a lot of the employees don't know that and they'll fill them anyway. 3. It surprises me how many people don't know they can get a souvenir cup refill of ICEE at the places that sell just red/blue flavors (Coney Refreshments, Subway, that place in Planet Snoopy). It's $3.18 but soooo much more refreshing than a soda refill. 4. You can refill pretty much anything with water, but please don't bring a gallon jug, and if you do, don't get mad when you get a huge eye roll. 5. If you get food and there's something missing/something wrong with it, PLEASE tell the food people. They can't do anything about it if you don't tell them, and most of the time it's a mistake caused by being tired and/or giving someone the wrong food, so don't get mad, it's usually an honest mistake. 6. Jukebox fries are amazing, and the container you get them in is slightly bigger (if filled properly) for the same price as other places. (unless something's changed, they're served in a regular container instead of a cup) 7. 20oz drinks are 4 cents cheaper at a cart than at a fountain drink location. Are you a food service worker?

I was excited until I found out there will be four announcements tomorrow for the exact same ride at each park. Sounds exactly like something CBS would do. Too bad KI isn't a flagship park anymore. :( EDIT: Wow, didn't know this was my 1,000 post, sucks it has to be a bitter one... EDIT 2: Lol, I just watched the channel 5 news story with super fan Ryan. Good job buddy!

If you need to ask people over the internet on how to propose, then you don't need to get married.

Paramount did this up until Cedar Fair made changes to the music. International Street had the classic epic entrance music soundtrack, Action Zone had upbeat music, I'll always remember them playing Jitterbug by Wham, Rivertown had country, and HBL had kid songs that I used to sing along to while I worked there since it would loop every hour.

*Oh hai there Brad*

Haha. Sweet shirt. If I saw that in person I would hop in front of you in line and be like "Score: Dan 1, You 0! I kick ass in the sport of line jumping! Wooooooo!" And then I would hop back out of line. It would provide the lulz for sure.

Ryan, when did you start sending out texts about broads??!

I had a dream a couple weeks ago that I was riding Top Gun, when we were going up the lift hill I noticed something was different, then as we crested the top I saw the layout was changed. As we were flying by I was thinking to myself why would they change the layout and I saw that they were rebuilding SOB and adding not one, but two loops! Haha. I was psyched, until I woke up and realized it was just a dream.

a. No, it's "The Racer" - http://www.visitkingsisland.com/attraction...l.cfm?ai_id=163 http://www.KICentral.com/photos/displayima...m=45&pos=19 b. Some called it "recaR" not "cecaR". c. No, it was Cedar Fair's decision to follow these recommendations that caused this. d. Obviously you are being sarcastic.

That was just a rumor. It was never confirmed. Now, it has been confirmed. *Yes, I realize there were screenshots. But, it was never confirmed. It was information from the official KI website. Just like this "confirmed" new is from the official CF website. It was already confirmed. This comes at no surprise to anyone. The only thing we are speculating is if Scooby will also be replaced or if he will stay.

This was already confirmed last week??? There is a thread talking about it already.

I think back in the day Screamscape used to be a terrible site for accurate information and much more of a joke. But now I think it has become much more reliable.

I think the reason we haven't seen an official media announcement from KI is because the marketing and PR gurus up there are asking themselves how the hell do we tell people that SOB will not reopen again, PLUS the beloved Nickelodeon characters are being replaced by the outdated Peanuts gang without the GP getting up in arms about it. Those are just my humble thoughts.

Tom Katt and Stand By Me, thanks for being the voice of reason.

In 2001 KI added Nick Central. Thus started the beginning of the Golden Ticket awards for best kids area. In 2006 KI improved on their kids area by adding Nick Universe thus retheming every ride to Nick, three more years of golden tickets. I seem to recall CP added Planet Snoopy to CP last year. Let's see, Nickelodeon Universe won the golden ticket for best kids area and Planet Snoopy did not. Now CF wants to replace Nickelodeon Universe with Planet Snoopy? Come on fanboys, let's say goodbye to those golden tickets. There can only be one flagship park in CF.

SDaTHC is on a separate licensing agreement than Nick. CF is replacing Nick with Snoopy to save money. There is no cost saving on retheming SDaTHC or putting in a new ride in it's place. I will place any amount of money that SDaTHC will be untouched and operate normally.

From Kings Island's OFFICIAL website: SIGH.

Sigh. The quote I posted came directly from KI's website. Sigh.

http://visitkingsisland.com/events/event_d...44&ec_id=00 Goodbye Golden Ticket Award. Maybe CF only wants CP to receive any golden tickets...

I'm more excited about this Intimidator than the other. It seems to me CF said "Okay we have a budget of $2X million for Carowinds. Let's buy the best roller coaster we can get for the money." And with KD, they said "Okay we have a budget of $2X million, let's make the height above 300' so that we can call it a Giga, but less than 310' because we don't want it to be better than MF. Now that the first hill is over 300' we've used half our budget so now we need to keep the coaster close to the ground and just give it some twisties so we can save money and be within budget." I like the Carowinds approach. The fact that he gets death threats is comical, not the actual death threat.

There's still hope. http://www.instituteforhumancontinuity.org/

Didn't he used to get death threats everyday?
