  1. I have been searching like crazy and can find no old pictures of The Beasts entrance. Does anyone else maybe have one they can post??? I did however post the pictures of the new sign being worked on in case no one could find it. More Info on Pics
  2. Im curious about what will happen to the queue for Crypt. Will it end up being as it always was like in the renderings, or will it continue to stay how it was in the last few weeks Kings Island was open last year?
  3. Prob for the same reason they don't even have a picture of Firehawk, and they don't have a picture of Invertigo from Kings Island, AND The Racer picture still has one side going backwards. For some reason amusement parks can never keep their websites updated.
  4. Its a pretty awesome park, but I would call it an upgraded wyandot lake as 1/2 of the waterpark is exactly the same as wyandot and the Sea Dragon is still there. Over all an awesome park worth visitng.
  5. They announced it over the parkwide PA system. You just weren't listening. When?
  6. Isnt it listed somewhere as a gold pass perk for 2008?
  7. Don't they have like a park wide PA system to make an announcement that the park will be closing so EVERYONE knows at one time rather than relying on people hearing it word of mouth from ride operators?
  8. My Favorites at Kings Island Favorite Kiddie Ride : Tie - Avatar / Fairly Odd Coaster Favorite Flat : As of 2008 The Crypt Favorite Steel : Tie FOF / Firehawk Favorite Wood : Tie The Beast / Recar Favorite Food : La Rosas Pizza Favorite New for '08 : Mix Up ICEEs Favorite Pile of Wood : SOB
  9. Well also since the beggening of the ride mirrors the ending of it, if they were to add stobes to the 2nd big flip it would give it a better "finale" I guess.
  10. Yeah I mean trust me Im not a really big complainer and I agree with Cedar Fair a lot, I used to be a manager at Six Flags so I understand how it works, but yeah even if they had just stayed open until 7:30 I would have been a much happier person.
  11. I think it's about as good as it's gonna get I don't know what else they can really add to improve it much more without spending a ton of $$$ however some type of strobe light effect durring one of the double/tripple spins would be sweet.
  12. Well if they were considering closing the park don't you think they owe the park patrons a little more notice than 1/2 an hour?
  13. As of May 2nd the Crypt was running VERY WELL! They finally have the lights on some sort of timer and have better music than the crappy techno stuff. For some reason I thought it was a much better ride today than last weekend! Although the robotic dragon or whatever it is was NOT working today.
  14. I have asked they never give out free food for inconvience of another kind. And yes when they print a time on the park map and have it out front it is not an "estimated time of closure" it should be the scheduled time, so yes I think its fair to expect they stay open. Two ride operators I spoke with who had both been there for 2 years said they have never seen the park close early before. So it's obviously not a regular occurance.
  15. No they don't close for weather apparently they close for low attendance. So the loyal few dedicated guests that drive 2+ hours or spend the money get screwed cause greedy Cedar Fair says it's not enough.

  17. There were quite a few people at guest relations when we left. The thing that sucks is I have a Platinum Pass so what are they gonna do for me give me a free twilight pass? Its like for being a more loyal guest and spending more money I get screwed, I love Cedar Fair.
  18. So it was around 1:00 today and me and brother decided hey lets go to Kings Island for their first friday and first day to be open until 10PM. So we finally arrived at the park at around 4:30 and it was drizzling a little but knowing this would only make for shorter lines we waited it out. We first ran to The Crypt as it in inside however we were met with a closed garage door. We then decided to walk around the park and see if ANYTHING was open. Let the record state that the only rides operating at time of arrival were "Shake Rattle and Roll" , "Zephyer" and "FOF". At this point I decided to buy myself a new Cedar Fair Kings Island style hoodie for $45 to try and keep dry and warm. Then we decided to wait for FOF only to find out the wait was less than 10 minutes so we rode it 4 times the 4th time practicly a walk on. We then walked back over towords The Beast and noticed The Crypt had opened so we rode that 2 times. After getting off the 2nd time we noticed Vortex was running so we walk in that directon and found out BLSC was still closed, and head straight towords Vortex which we only rode once because at the top of the hill we noticed Firehawk was up and running again. When we got in line for Firehawk it was now 6:30 and the first thing we heard when we got in line was "Just to let you know that the park will be closing at 7:00pm tonight, yes thats in about 1/2 an hour". I as well as just about everyone else in the line was very upset. I made a point of coming today because I wanted to stay until 10!! However since there was nothing we could do about it we decided to make the most of our 1/2 hour and head over to Action Zone after Firehawk. We rode drop zone once and sat on Delerium for 3 cycles without getting off. At that point it was 7:06 and time to go home. So overall not a total loss but I am pretty upset that they closed the park early with very little warning.

    The Crypt

    The Crypt

    I hope its working this weekend.
  21. I liked this show a lot, mostly of the fact that it reminded me a lot of the Red Garter Saloon at CP. Although I still think their shows are better to be honest but they have a more versatile set up to work with and real band as well.
  22. While in line for BLSC I was wearing a Cedar Point shirt I got... "Do they have any good roller coasters at Cedar Point? I think ive heard of that park before." (The shirt featured pictures of CPs top 5) Or last year after getting off Firehawk... "I still say X-Flight is better we should go ride it again this summer"
  23. I couldnt even figure out how to get to gold pass parking! So I just parked where they told me.
