I heard that Kings Island was going to remove Delirium because of CP's MaxAir (it had more ridership and won the competition).

You are baffled by people bringing up two of the most heavily themed rides Paramount installed? What is so baffling? Should the lack of themeing for Face/ Off or Drop Zone be discussed? I am baffled that you mention themeing, but then bring up ride placement. And what is the point to your comment that some of the younger KI park patrons are growing and can barely remember the 'tiques? It really makes me belive you are trying to make the point that things that happened 5+ years ago just don't count anymore. And no, if the 'tiques were removed for a ride like Maverick at CP, there would not be negative comments as WWL was removed for a far superior ride. I understand that you must have forgotten, not only were the 'tiques removed, but so were the very popular Flying Eagles. Perhaps the 'tiques could not have been relocated in the park, but the Eagles certainly could have been. Yes, Swan Lake was removed for DB. But it was removed for a world class coaster. Unfortunate decision, but acceptable. Top Gun was not built as Top Gun, but rather Thunder Road. Paramount changed the name after the purchase. I couldn't agree more with goodyellowkorn182. I think the point was to say things change...that's the way the world works. Some changes are good some changes are bad....we've just got to live with them. yes, Backlot Stunt Coaster could have been placed somewhere else, but it wasn't. Yes, I MISS THE ANTIQUES but I realize that they were taken out for probably several reasons, but I'm not always crying about missing them. I think that he brought up the issue of ride placement because there are sooooo many people who are always complaining about where rides have been placed. KI will never please everyone at the park to where they place the rides, for example say the park owners decide to put another coaster next to Firehawk or behind it, people will complain that its too much of a walk to get to that ride. As for the removal the comment about the younger patrons that can barley remember the antiques, I believe that goodyellowkorn182 was pointing out the fact that patrons during the reign of the antiques are the only ones that who will remember them not to say that they do not remember them. I never got to ride the Flying Eagles...wish I could have though....but hey I can just enjoy the memories of others on that. I do miss Swan Lake but I'd rather have DB! I'm not sure where else it could have gone though....so I give a two thumbs up for the location! Was Top Gun really named Thunder Road?!?!?! That's cool...did not know that!

I'm with ya!!! However, having an awesome coaster right above it makes the picture all the better! I will miss Nick Universe....but I'm excited for the changes.....just looking at Nick U got bland for me....here's to hoping a great thing will happen when all will see Planet Snoopy!

They answered my question about testing the rides

I just have to say, I have a close friend who's daughter is one of the area supervisors and sometimes trains where this accident happened. Called my friend to make sure that her daughter wasn't hurt. and she told me that her daughter said this was just an accident and the whale did not grab the trainer nor thrash the trainer around like reports state. She didn't go into much more detail as she was obviously shaken up. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family/friends of the trainer and to SeaWorld Staff

They are, I know I'm going to that one on the 13th

Is anyone going to training on the 13th, step 2 and step 3? If so are you willing to carpool if you are around Wilmington, Ohio (off of 71)? Let me know!

please remove. thanks

Kings Island answered some questions on Facebook about the park in general and PS. According to KI's facebook in the note section the old Scooby Doo and the Haunted castle will NOT be Peanuts themed. Check it out http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=323533561948&comments

Hey everyone, I got hired this weekend at Job Fair. Working on Diamondback!!!!! *Insert Happy Scream* I figured I'd start this topic up, I haven't seen it anywhere else on the boards, so if it's there and I missed it, I'm sorry! But who all will be wanting to carpool with different people? I know for myself I'd love to carpool with someone. I'm on exit 50 on 71, about 35-45 min. away from the park. So if anyone would like to carpool let me know. If you are looking for a carpool as well post it! Have a great day!

I got hired today and will be working on the Diamondback Team!!!!!!!!!!!!! If there is anyone from north 71 willing to carpool.....let me know!!!

Are there certain forms I need to bring to the interview? I am 21, in college. I know the site says you may need to bring forms but I'm not exactly sure what forms they are talking about. If anyone could help that'd be great

Collared shirt and khakis or better. Just look professional in appearance. No shame in looking like you just stepped off the PGA Tour! I can do that! Here lately I have been looking like that!

I'm going in on Saturday for my interview. Any suggestions? Should I dress up or have something casual/nice?

is there actually one in the works or is this just a rumor?

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I spent a lot of time in those non moveable cars! Especially in HB land, but of course I was 5-7 when I visited KI with my family. Were they actually the Flintstone's cars or were they from The Busy World Of Richard Scarry? I'm not 100% sure because I was like 4-5 years old. Haha

your reviews made me laugh!

did not realize that! i just happened to look at the webcam today and saw that!

From the looks of, Diamondback webcam the green train is heading back to the transfer track and that the splashdown has some water from the recent rain/snow hangin out in it.

I do like the new color scheme! Can't wait to see the rest of Planet Snoopy!
