^I believe they do. I can check tomorrow for ya.

Not just Breakers. All of the CP resorts gets you ERT. (Not sure about Breakers Express)

Looks like this isn't exclusive to KI. http://newsplusnotes.blogspot.com/2014/10/scott-and-carol-present-fright-fest.html

Banshee. Vortex. International Street.

I doubt that happens, but I agree with you on the Universal thing.

I am 6'3" and I have been on it recently.

That is the best thing on the internet. I was kinda making an homage to the Onion article that was popular when Blackfish came out. http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-documentary-reveals-seaworld-forced-orca-whale,34449/

I'm not sure you understand PETA's issue with the treatment of Shamu... I'm not sure you understand sarcasm.

I feel worse for these dogs than PETA does for Shamu. I'm sure these dogs love being exploited in their costumes.

I was thinking tonight at work about this topic and a question hit me: Why is there no public outcry at Disney every couple minutes when they show a guy hang himself in the Haunted Mansion? Why are some things from some companies ok, but not others?

The Coasterbuzz crowd is the only group of people who have said good things about the park. http://coasterbuzz.com/Forums/Topic/three-hurt-one-in-medically-induced-coma-after-fright-fest-fight-at-six-flags-america

Paging GoodYellowKorn....

Could Kings Island be planning a throwback year like Kings Dominion did this year?

I'm starting to wonder where the Ebola outbreak mazes are! Keep up KI!

^I'm so excited for The Walking Dead! Stephen King wrote an essay a few years ago about why we like going to horror movies. I think it can be applied to things like Haunt and Halloween Horror Nights. "We also go to re-establish our feelings of essential normality; the horror movie is innately conservative, even reactionary. Freda Jackson as the horrible melting woman in Die, Monster, Die! confirms for us that no matter how far we may be removed from the beauty of a Robert Redford or a Diana Ross, we are still light-years from true ugliness. And we go to have fun. Ah, but this is where the ground starts to slope away, isn’t it? Because this is a very peculiar sort of fun, indeed. The fun comes from seeing others menaced – sometimes killed. One critic has suggested that if pro football has become the voyeur’s version of combat, then the horror film has become the modern version of the public lynching." Full Essay can be read here:http://faculty.uml.edu/bmarshall/Lowell/whywecravehorrormovies.pdf I didn't find Universal's show over the top. Is it for everybody? Of course not, but neither are the Call of Duty video games and plenty of people enjoy them. The key to me is that it wasn't real. Everyone knows that guy isn't really dead. And that is the problem with KI's display. Those people in the display were real and they are really dead. That, in my opinion, is when it is too much.

As someone who never had the chance to enjoy Phantom Theater, was it actually a great ride or is it just the nostalgia and rose colored glasses that makes everyone crazy about it? Be honest.

Did you stop by guest relations and let them know of your problem?

There is nothing wrong with the 3 Point Shootouts.

"The unnacceptable behavior and events that occurred yesterday, acted out by some unsupervised youth, are in no way typical behavior for our park or the surrounding area." Haha, ok.

The only thing about that ride that interested me was the props in the line. Walking through part of the Hannah Montana set brought back memories.

I rode the Backlot Tour for the first and last time today. It will not be missed.

29th for Astro and sometime next week for COP. At least this is what the signs say.

COP and Astro Orbiters are actually closed right now.

Wasn't that price for the whole Magic Bands and My Magic+ thing? Wifi surely wasn't a billion on its own, right?

Then in theory, you could only count FoF one time, no matter where you rode it, or any other cloned rides anywhere else right? I mean its the same track layout just in different place..... For me, same track LAYOUT =/= same ride (IE, clones). Same track (as in, literally the EXACT same structure) == the same ride, even after relocation or a change in trains (IE, X-Flight and Firehawk are one credit no matter where it was ridden). Racing coasters are one credit. Dueling coasters... I'll have to think about. Never ridden one, so it doesn't matter to me right now. IF the Hartland makes it to 2016, Stella and Lola will likely be my first dueling coaster(s). Would any of you two-credit people consider the Kennywood Racer as two coasters? Would Voyage be a new credit if the Timberliners had worked out? Heck, let's say T3 opens next year with Vekoma's new trains with the vest restraints a la Fly - The Great Nor'easter. Would you count T2 and T3 separately? I wouldn't. At the end of the day, there's no right or wrong. How YOU count it (or don't) is up to YOU. Just remember that if you and a friend were to compare your coaster counts, an agreement should probably be made as to how you will count them. Timberliners wouldn't be a new credit because you are still in the same riding position. No one has (comfortably) sat down on Mantis before. Changing it to floorless is completely changing the whole ride (from unbearable to enjoyable, presumably). Would Sheikra count as two when it changed from standard dive trains to floorless? No, because you are still in the same position. Just my two cents. I couldn't care less about credits. I guess that makes me a credit nun?
