  1. I whole-heartedly agree. I think SOB is one of the best roller coasters I have ever been on. I enjoyed the rough, crazy, and out of control feeling of the ride. I guess I'm not alone anymore.....
  2. One more thing we can rule out is Kings Island adding a wooden roller coaster that tops out at a height over 200 ft..... But they'd never do anything like that anyway.....
  3. My favorite ride at Kings Island growled its last goodbyes back in the summer of 2009, and in 2012 it made its final screams of agony as it was torn to peices....... But thats okay because now we get to see what this "Building towards the future" project entails!!
  4. I actually used to know where to find that commercial but for the life of me, I just can't find it anywhere anymore. Its possible that maybe someone here on KIC knows where to find it or has access to it. I know that he probablly can't, but maybe Don could somehow provide us with a video of the commercial?......
  5. As we all know, Kings Island has got its fair share of unique and "different" roller coasters over the years....... Which roller coaster that is at or was at Kings Island has had the biggest impact in your opinion? The biggest impact on attendance? The biggest impact on park guests perception of the park? The biggest impact all together?...Etc
  6. This photo from "kifansite.com" kinda shows the un-level terrain of the former SOB area.
  7. Haha, good one, makes me almost remember my old posts on this site.....
  8. Great idea, sounds interesting... Maybe that would be something that all of us here at KIC could work together on with help from KI PR?........ If an actual SOB book was made, thast could also be something for KI to put in a souvenir shop for any guests interested in it...... (Just some thoughts)
  9. ^ Mine is stuck on the mobile version on my desktop and has been ever since the site update,it will not let me change back to the normal......
  10. The updated site is giving me a problem, When I get on KIC on here on my PC, It is on mobile mode and wont let me see the regular KIC forums site.
  11. Interesting article on a possible SeaWorld buyout...... http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/01/17/us-seaworld-sale-idUSBRE90G12920130117?feedType=RSS&feedName=innovationNews&rpc=43
  12. In my honest opinion, the Paramount theming was great, The ways that they tried to cut costs...Not so much.... Something I missed from Paramount days was a looping wooden roller coaster...... after the loop was removed, I didn't like it quite as much.....
  13. I'm not sure exactly how new the video is but I'm guessing its not too old considering it was published to YouTube on Dec. 10 2012.......but who knows
  14. As far as the kiddie coasters go, I can't give much advice because I don't spend very much, if any time in that part of the parks. BUT...... I would just give all the kid coasters a try at CP and KD if I were you.
  15. He mentions trying something different with the Fountains at the "Kings" parks but starting first with Canadas Wonderland....... Interesting......
  16. I also found this video showing the park in different views.....BUT its not in english......
  17. I would like to see some more pictures of KI now without SOB......
  18. If anything, Make sure you ride Dominator, Its one great coaster.
  19. Hopefully within the next week or so, we will know whether Kentucky Kingdom will re-open or not.
  20. ^ Do you happen to know when the "Something BIG" label was added to that page?
  21. I think If I translated this correctly, Under where it says "Something BIG is gonna happen!" it also says "Tags for this ugly page. In a development". Sounds a little odd to me.....
  22. ^ I would like to see this return at Kings Island, the plant covered walkways look great in amusement parks in my opinion. Six Flags St. Louis still had theirs last time I went there and it still looked really cool.
