EDIT: nextpage'd
Circuit City would work too.
Budweiser will sponsor anything :-)
Anywho sounds good gota see if its a day I have my daughter or not
Why not go for a local sponsor?! I say we ask Swallen's.

They manage to put millions of people on a small island on the east coast, which straddles two rivers. Sure, they may not live in spacious single-family homes like most of us on here do, but it works quite well. Not saying Cedar Point needs to take density to a severe extreme, but I'm using such a built environment as an example as to why Cedar Point isn't really running out of room...

I just bought two tickets using a MacBook in Chrome.

If it weren't for Delirium and Sling Shot being there, King Cobra gone, and Invertigo (Face/Off) changing color, you could swear this bottom photo was taken in early 1999.Thought this was pretty crazy. Props to TOPGUN1993 for the bottom photo!

Italian Chef.
He moved away... and now he's back. I don't think he goes to KI much anymore now, though.
I actually managed to run into him on KI&MVRR (the train) back in May, and it was a great surprise to catch up after a few years.

If it's called International Street, why not a modern, International Style front gate structure? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_style_(architecture)
-
I say give the structure a neo-modern make-over, and renovate the International Restaurant space. The front gate building may look dated but it still has life to it. Replacing it with a traditional-looking front gate like you'd see at other CF parks is overkill, and a waste of opportunity, space, and money.

As I recall, Surf Cincy was located in a much less desireable part of town, so that's probably why noone ever stepped forward. In real estate terms, the highest and best use of the land is probably not as a water park.
Surf Cincinnati was located in a suburban area along the northern stretch of I-275, so it wasn't so much a "less desirable" part of town, but however, a bit off the beaten path, as it was at the end of a cul-de-sac in a commercial/industrial district of Forest Park. That, and they hadn't really kept the place in great shape the last several years it was open.

Kings Island is getting a new wave pool!?
^ Yes. It will feature music from the early 1980s.
[emphasis mine]
That, right there, is theme enough. Don't see how they can't put the songs and some decor together.
-
They will most likely start their "Buy Now, Pay Later" program, where you can place your order for a 2012 pass, and print out a voucher that you can give as a gift. You give the park your credit/debit card number, and they don't charge the account until April, I believe.
-
And you're left wondering why the park would even promote an event that plays with tasers...

The posts that are finger pointing to the park's own employees aren't a happy note. From the behavior of KI employees, that would have never entered my mind.
I never went to a Six Flags to see it for myself, I never felt the need to go, and now, probably will never feel the need in the future.
Kings Island PR blocks a user if they report a theft on his fb page.
Doesn't just remove the posts, doesn't contact the user with any explanation, like, "Our security is working to alleviate this scenario, I'm sorry this happened, but i'm simply going to have to remove this nonhappy post."
Just blocks, without thinking the FB poster has friends and family members that can still post. It's not a kick in the teeth, more like a wiggling of opened toed socked feet in one's face, but still, there's the wiggle.
To be fair, Kings Island's Facebook page is for people to leave general comments, suggestions, even those general compliments and complaints. But if you have a specific, personal safety issue, you're MUCH better off calling or emailing the park. I could agree that blocking you off the page was wrong, but I'm not surprised by that action, as some issues should be kept private, off a public Facebook wall.

It will have been about 8 years since there really any noteworthy improvements to the water park. It's about time. I'd like to see more slides in the near future, I don't doubt that would happen.
-
The ideal solution, if you can: let it pass. Don't get into an argument and let this lead to a fight. Parks will NOT tolerate fighting, and they will kick you out, take your season pass away (if you have one,) and ban you from the park for a period of time. This makes you NO better than the line jumpers.
-
KI has assigned seats at The Beast in years past on a regular basis. The fact they're doing so again is a good thing in my opinion, as it helps better manage the station.
-
If I were you, I'd take the advice of the armed police officer that set you aside, and just walk next time. NOBODY is MAKING you run!
-
MagnumFan,
Usually, I don't run through the park for the sake of being first on a ride that's been there for almost three seasons.
Yeah, I'd say it's you.
If I were the officer, I would have said, "Hand me over the pass. Don't come back for about a year. Do some thinking. You'll thank me later."
-
I like the new look. As a font/graphic design geek, I like how stuff appears in Helvetica (since that font is in my system BTW),
-
It should be noted that Holiday World's investment for the 2012 season will be $9 million. There could be a small steel coaster in the plans (Just my guess, I have NO insider info or hints.)
-
I think the parking lot trams were last used in either 2004 or 05, some of the cars were repainted with a blue with yellow stars and a retro font saying "Paramount's Kings Island" on it in those last years.

Reading some of the post in this thread makes me wonder if some of you really think that if someone buys the Speed Lane Pass at Kings Island that that makes them an elitist.
Anyone with the money and desire to get the Fast Lane pass can. There are those working middle class folks who travel the distance who've saved up for a one-day vacation to Kings Island who wouldn't mind putting down $50 to essentially "extend" their park trip by simply cutting out waiting on many of the rides. Not any different from someone related to a P&G executive, or someone who plays for the Reds, Bengals, Blue Jackets, who clearly has more spending money laying around.
It's not about have and have-nots. It's about King's Island creating revenue. If you are a Kings Island fan, why would you complain about the park being able to create more revenue? You have to have money to build the roller coasters we all love.
I may never use Fast Lane in the near future, but odds are I'll enjoy some of the "benefits" from the revenue from it. I'm cool with that.

As of today, when I rode Red Racer, all of the Monster cars had been removed and placed aside.
