  1. Never really contributed, that's a laugh. Since Nemo is out, maybe I should start posting again, take his place. Because the fact that I live nowhere near the park anymore, and now spend my time with much better parks in California, makes me "part of the problem". Should get a lot of laughs from the people here. I've already gotten a few, especially TTD's comment, when I've got almost 3x as many posts as he does.

  2. Seriously folks - stop feeding the troll. Soak City obviously has an issue with the Ed show for some reason. Ignore his whining and it'll eventually dry up.

    Btw - nice to see some posting by Uncle Henry again. Hopefully, you will also join in a positive way in some other discussions.

    Sadly no, I've moved away from Ohio, and even before then I've been less and less a "fan" of the park. Came in here again only because I heard about the troll digging his hole deeper and deeper.

  3. i have a question about the soundtrack...

    where do they get that extremely creepy music?

    the "im a ballerina"- parody of im a little teacup, was so creepy and unusual...

    btw good scares all friday night!

    especially the guy witht the waste can, The Bat looking demon thing, and the guy with the animal bone mask

    they all got me good :)

    Thanks, I'll let the "bat looking demon" know he is doing a good job. His name is Kronos btw. Next time you see him, say hi.

  4. I'm just hoping my good buddy Kronos comes back this year. He's been hibernating since last fall, so I'm sure he'll be very grumpy when he wakes up, and sees tourists romping around his yard.

  5. Things that I used to do way back in my ride op days...

    I used to do the "world's longest water ride" joke previously mentioned.

    When working Flight of Fear, I'd do a countdown "Launching in 5, 4, 1, goodbye!" *launch* People in the station would often ask what happened to 2 and 3. I said the aliens abducted them.

    I would often say "Enjoy the rest of your day here at Kings Island, home of *insert ride no one cares about here*" Frequent attractions were "Little Bill's Giggle Coaster, and it's terrifying 8 1/2 foot drop" and Viking Fury.

    Frequently used "Please do not sit, stand, climb, or perform acrobatic feats on our handrails."

    Flying Eagles was also a fun one to work. When starting the ride, I'd do the "Shave and a haircut" on the starting bell, and the ride op at Shake Rattle & Roll would finish it off with the "Two bits". Either that, or the other way around.

    For those who are not keen on what "Shave and a haircut" is... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shave_and_a_Haircut

  6. I was actually at the theater across the street watching Star Trek. Go into the theater, great weather. Come out, lightning like crazy, winds, and Kings Island Drive packed with cars leaving the park (this was before 10, wondered if they had evac'd the park due to the storm).

  7. In The Loop, one of the biggest podcasts in the amusement industry is currently searching for a new co-host. Tonight, they will be recording a new episode with one of their four candidates for the open position... me! Make sure to download this coming week's In The Loop to hear my take on topic like Kong returning to Universal Hollywood, Freestyle Music Park, and other current industry news!

    www.coastercrew.com for info.

  8. The last ERT ride of Sunday night I turned all the way around the whole ride. It was HILARIOUS! I got to watch everyones faces and watch them during airtime it was so fun!

    Please explain. You turned your entire body around in the seat?

    This, irregardless of "HILARITY" does not sound like something to brag about.

    Shaggy

    I think I sat in the row in front of her when she did this. She didn't have her WHOLE body turned around, just her head and had her torso turned slightly.

    I'd prefer riding at night than looking backwards.
