  1. Who? Your close friend Ed Hart? Or Chuck and Dale? I haven't seen ANYTHING, Many stories on my local news stations? Your full of BS man
  2. I really don't care about your opinions. If or not Banshee was added, I don't see Kings Island having any difference in attendance, and that is just my opinion. You can say my opinion is ludicrous, but I really don't give a darn. Tell you all the truth, in the terms of Dollywood, I've never seen advertisement specifically aiming towards Dollywood here in Louisville. Their latest coaster was never advertised here in Louisville as well. All we see is Gatlinburg and Smoky Mountain commercials with clips of that park from time to time. But that place still has success so whatever their doing is working That's rather... specific. Do you know something that we don't? I live in Louisville. That is when the commercials start to pop here in our area. But correction, we usually see commercials two weeks prior to King Island opening for the season. Holiday World usually starts about a week before they open for the season. I've always been the one who love seeing roller coasters during my commercial breaks growing up.
  3. Been on here since day one. Most people here are against the reopening of the Kentucky Kingdom than supporting it. If several non-opinionated users have claimed this over time then it must be true. In the terms of Banshee, That ride was never advertised in Louisville what so ever. Yes, it was on the news once in August, but we have not seen anything advertised here in Louisville and other markets about that ride and we may not see anything until the second week of April. I personally feel either way, Banshee will not have any sort of Impact on Kings Island just because I feel like Kings Island is sitting in a comfortable place right now. Just like Banshee being shown here once on the news here in Louisville, Kentucky Kingdom was featured multiple times over the past couple of years in Cincinnati. The last and final time the park was featured in Cincinnati and other markets was the big news from last June. You could say Kentucky Kingdom should be advertised right now in other markets, but I feel as though that is would be a bad move. I am about to declare my major of ISC in the creative field. Lets think strategic, This is the New Kentucky Kingdom, not the old one, nor Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom . Why not wait and show other markets the NEW Kentucky Kingdom? family's and friends enjoying what the park has to offer? Footage of friends in family enjoying whats is in there back yard is a reality. I would want to see actual people going on the new rides and down the new slides and Lightning Run in action, along with refurbish rides, a refurbish smooth riding Thunder Run, and guest interacting with the sea lions. If you was to show somebody the old Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in a new TV ad, how would you think those people will respond?
  4. May 24 is over 4 months away. Don't let social media worry your hopes.
  5. Thunder Run/Twisted Twins could be taking The Beast's title of the worlds longest wooden coaster...Someone posted this on Themeparkreview
  6. Because only 1/7 of those who submitted an application will get hired http://www.wlky.com/news/local-news/kentucky-news/kentucky-kingdom-no-longer-accepting-applications/-/9718420/23812328/-/1497skhz/-/index.html
  7. When I worked at the park in the final season under the Six Flags era The park was busy (or what I thought was busy) on Saturdays and was not busy on weekdays. On one Saturday there was a free concert for Toby Mac. The park had at least 15,000 guest inside the park that day. Usually during that time the park held 5,000-10,000 guest on Saturdays. The park was so crowded that day the lifeguards had to push forward the pool divider in the wave pool. I've never seen lines so long at the Kingdom. I remembered working alone in this shack rushing, panicking as I worked alone. Supervisors and management preached on how that was a normal day under the Ed Hart era. Several of my co-workers had walked out on the job. I am not sure how many other workers walked out on that day. For any jobs, first days are usually the hardest. So I wonder how many will be strong enough to make it through the first day.
  8. First day of the parks reopening is going to be far from pleasant in my opinion. It is going to be hell.
  9. I've seen one, on Fern Valley right before I had to go back to college from Thanksgiving Break.
  10. The reopening is coming like a bullet. 165 more days. Construction on Lightning Run will begin early January, according to their twitter and facebook.
  11. An Interview from Ed's Office http://rustysatelliteshow.com/ed-harts-kingdom-joe-arnold-sings-rusty-23/
  12. When Ed Hart operated the park the first time in the 1990s, did he have any problems with the fairboard?
  13. Well, Kentucky Kingdom took itself to the media today. Kentuckiana is thrilled about the news.
  14. They posted a response on facebook. But I guess they're waiting in for the statistics, etc. They maybe waiting for the press conference.
  15. The only thing about Banshee is that announcement for that ride was anticipated with a date, So the public knew about it. Right now, I bet not even a 4th of the Louisville area in my opinion is aware of KK announcement since it happened last night and the media hasn't taken converge of the story. But I will guess that all change tomorrow and Ed will have a press conference But hey, we all should have known something unique was coming, it is Ed Hart
  16. I have been questioning before the announcement on here if Hurricane Bay would be better than Splashin Safari. I questioned that because some information was LEAKED a month before last nights announcement, the link is below http://baseballnationals.com/elizabethtown/kentucky-kingdom/ (note: this information is not 100% accurate) Also, I am a bit stunned to be honest that more coaster critics are more interested in Lighting Run over Banshee, even several of you KI fans. But hey, we have two great new coasters coming to our region in less than 6 months. Lastly, I have seen a picture on twitter of several slide pieces already on site at the park.
  17. One day tickets to Kentucky Kingdom are $34.99
  18. ANNOUNCEMENT IS HERE!!! http://www.kentuckykingdom.com
  19. Just seen a new video of the new coaster....Check out themeparkreview if you want to find out
