ahank

In terms of where it was placed, yes. Diamondback ruined one of the most beautiful areas of the park with the removal of Swan Lake. Is it a fun ride? There's no question, it's one of the most fun in the park, but it along with other factors (I'm looking at you, big white box) was very detrimental to the feel of the Rivertown area.

^Cedar Fair under Kinzel (and a perfect example of Kinzel placing a high thrill ride in a place without considering location)

Just because it may be a ride that "parents will ride with their kids" doesn't mean whatever we are getting won't be thrilling. Rides like Gatekeeper and even Cheetah Hunt come to mind. If we are honestly complaining because what we are getting may not be a 300+ foot Giga coaster, it makes me wonder if we'd rather have Kinzel back just so we can have a roller coaster placed without meaning or consideration to other sections of the park. It is possible to focus on more than just the family/just the thrillseeker without just "stooping to the lowest thrill denominator."

New estimated wait times signs for BLSC and Beast (maybe more?)

This is probably a good time to remind everyone that the block option is really really awesome.

^ I believe Sandstorm got moved next to Gwazi and this is occupying it's former location.

The fact that Bad Day by James Blunt was playing while re-entering the park yesterday seemed, uh, out-of-place. I don't know if that'd be considered a little thing though! Edit: Daniel Powter, not James Blunt. Thanks TTD!

^Because rides like The Beast, Maverick, and Kumba aren't consistently regarded as some of the best roller coasters in the world.

Whatever you consider Lana Del Rey, Amy Winehouse, Daft Punk (especially their new album holy crap), Riff Raff, Tony Bennett, Fall Out Boy, Phoenix, blink-182, and Sleigh Bells to be is my music taste.

The search function is really cool. Especially when it's on a topic that has been thoroughly discussed recently.

I guess Kings Island really is turning into Disney World.

I guess it's technically been 2 days since the last challenge so Easy: Beast going up the lift Hard: At least 3 members in one photo (large group pictures don't count!) Expert: Photo booth across from Boo Blasters

Who is "SH0X"? Isn't that some kind of shoe?

2007. It's weird knowing I've known some of you for 5 years.

Wood/Steel party for life.

What's Delirium?

Good things come to those who wait.

Some of those trees.... ouch.

Is Son of Beast closed for good?

That's like saying putting makeup on a lion makes it less vicious. While shops, rides, etc. may bring more crowds to the area, it doesn't hide the fact that the path would still be extremely long and totally unfeasible for the park to consider.

The station of Son of Beast is meant to reflect Outpost 5, the same outpost that Adventure Express is meant to "depart" to. See below: This is the side of the SoB station. Now listen to track number 3 below: http://kiextreme.com/kitunes.php
