  1. Just an FYI. Here are all the severe storm shelters I can remember from working there: under Invertigo, under the stage in Kings Island Theatre, in those pod looking things at BLST, under FOF station, inside the Crypt(not exactly sure where inside), under the Timberwolf stage, and in action theatre. These are the only ones I can remember, and they may have added some since 2007.
  2. News Plus Notes is having a Poll for your Favorite Operating U.S. Wooden Racing Coaster? It's on the left sidebar.
  3. Actually, most of the things that have been mentioned the park employees do not do. Have you seen a park employees making improvements to The Crypt? Or maybe park employees working on the Tower Gardens waterfalls? This is the kind of thing we will try to do. I myself will enjoy doing these things. I agree with you Coney Island Rocks. It sounds like those who do want to be a part of something like this are interested in improving/enhancing the park.
  4. That webcam icon has been on there site since before I worked there in 2007.
  5. I really don't know where to post this, so I'm just gonna do it here. I was at the park tonight and the SOB crate was gone. There was a nice little garden in its place. Also they moved the entrance gate down a little, so you cant even tell the line used to be there. It's kind of like the park is slowly erasing any remenants of the ride. It makes me think that it will never re-open.
  6. I am surprised no one mentioned Beast's Queue. They did some off-season work in there. They took down the front/ rear divider that started at the bottom of the ramp, and they also removed some of the walls in the beginning of the line. Anyone else notice?
  7. The ride was awesome! The ending really got me. It was different, but in a good way.
  8. I kept running into closed rides all day. Invertigo, Delirium, Beast, BLSC, Red Racer, FOF, Firehawk, and even Flight Deck at one point. Like I know little things happen, but closed rides was the theme of the day.
  9. Jasper I would totally help you out! I would love to see it like it was when i was younger! This sounds like a great idea. Hopefully we could get something good started. I think if a program like this was created that there would be some kind of reward . Example: like ERT or something of that nature for helping pull weeds all day.
  10. I work at Lebanon Kroger and we just got our tickets in. Here are the prices: 34.99 for a single day adult 29.99 for a single day jr./sr. 48.99 for pay once visit twice They went up since last year, but you do save a dollar if you buy them through KI's website. EDIT: and Terp was right; the further your kroger is from KI the cheaper the tickets.
  11. I really don't get why they answered this. I was just replying to a comment made by someone else, it wasn't really a question.
  12. I donno if you can notice from my picture, but from what I can see the whole facade of SDatHC is still intact. So they must not be changing that. Here it is by its self....
  13. I agree I'm ready for some warm weather and some roller coasters!!
  14. I had to go to the verizon store today and just happened to have my camera, so I took this for all my KICers.
  15. I have never ridden the Texas Giant, but I have a question for those who have... Is it as rough and/or rougher then SOB? Or is SOB worse?
  16. I know this has been discussed on the forums already, but I figured I would create a poll to see how many people were looking forward to seeing it. I for one can't wait to see it. It looks really good, plus I think Johnny Depp is a great actor.
  17. I have a feeling the site designs will go like this..... Carowinds, California's Great America, King's Dominion, King's Island, then Canada's Wonderland. My reasoning is that this is the order that the parks open. Just a guess!
  18. I can't say that I am totally suprised. When they removed Chang I thought they were gonna close. It's sad though I was planning a trip there in May.
  19. Just a little update......... Passed KI today. It looks like RR is done being painted, it looks good from the road. The Avatar car looks like it's back on there is no huge character on it, but it has a huge blue tarp around it. FOC has some tarps around it, it's mostly around the right side of the coaster. Maybe they're painting it or just off season maintanance. The Nickelodeon Store also looks like it's being primed or something of that nature. I didn't have my camera with me, but I might try to swing back by and get some pics!
  20. I worked in Merch. in '07. The video system on FoF was supposed to be up and running by May, but it wasn't til july that it even worked. When it finally did work is was soo unrealiable, plus nobody bought them. They were 21.99 I believe, so they weren't cheap. They didn't even last til August. It was one of those epic fails!
  21. I think they are going to paint the fences blue. That's just my assumption from one of the Carowinds facebook pics.
  22. Wow - they must have done a lot of work since Sunday when I swung by for a little look. There was nothing "new" visible in NU/PS. Reptar was still Green/Yellow (I think I'd like Orange actually) and FOC was still Purple (I really hope this changes). Maybe one of the good photographers on the site can swing by and snap a couple of pictures - with the bare trees, you can actually see quite a bit from KI drive/passenger pickup area. I just happened to notice reptars colors on my way to Best Buy. I pulled into the metro parking lot at KI to get as close as I could. All that I could visibly see was Reptar's color change, and it looked nice from the lot. I tried to take pics with my blackberry, but none of them were good enough to see the details. I think I might try to take my camera on Friday and get a few pics. P.S. The top of SDTHC was still the same colors it didn't look like anything had changed.....yet.
  23. Just passed ki and all I could see is that reptar is being painted orange supports and yellow track. I also could tell that either the avatar character or maybe the actual ride car itself is gone. Also the top of the nick store looks like it's getting ready to be primed. That's all I got just figured I'd let you know.
  24. Well one of my favorite things to do was always ride SDTHC, so I think I will go check and see what they turned it into first. Then Diamondback!
