  1. Interesting video. Honestly, I'm thinking a Soak City expansion in 2016 and maybe a new coaster in 2017 along with some new flats. Also, not a fan of the proposed GCI location... I think a certain butcher and his family might have something to say about that as well...

  2. I voted for Action Zone, Waterworks, Soak City, Pre-Diamondback Rivertown, Hanna Barbara, Nickelodeon and Tower Gardens- Paramount years. Action Zone is one of my favorite areas in the park and I was little when Paramount's Action Zone was new. I voted for both Waterworks and Soak City because while I grew up with Waterworks, I was (and still am) very impressed by the new Soak City paint job. I also voted for pre-Diamondback Rivertown because Swan Lake was pretty cool. Regarding the kid's areas, I voted for Hanna-Barbara and Nick because I grew up with a mixture of both. Finally, voted for Tower Gardens during the Paramount years because the walkway with stars was cool and the waterfall actually worked back then!

    EDIT: Just to add: although Boomerang Bay might have been more themed than WaterWorks, I picked WaterWorks because nostalgia.

  3. When you repeat the Kings Island closing announcements/Haunt closing announcements when the establishment where you work is closing for the night (like I did tonight!)

    And for those wondering, I don't believe they do employee yearbooks anymore (I've worked there 2006-2010; 2013-2014), or if they have, I don't know anything about them...

  4. I voted a few hours ago and here's what I chose:

    1. B&M, specifically I was thinking of a B&M Floorless at the time I made my decision.

    2. Nope.

    3. 1990-1999 (probably early/mid 90's or so...)

    4. Scooby because I never rode Phantom Theatre and I have fond memories of Scooby-Doo and the Haunted Castle.

  5. Don't know how I feel about this as I rarely use my phone at the park, which is why it's hard for me to meet up with other members. :P Seriously, though, I've only used it a few times to get on KIC and Twitter and that's pretty much about it. I go to enjoy the park on my off days and take in the park unattached from my mobile device. I understand some people use their phone for the app and to take selfies and whatnot, but as Terpy would say, I guess I'm not the target market. That being said, I really don't have much of an opinion except for that I guess its good for the park.

    EDIT: OK, I just realized I also use my phone to take pictures while in the park, so I guess I use it more than I thought. But again, taking pictures doesn't require the internet as I don't immediately upload them to Twitter/Flikr/KIC. So, my point is still somewhat valid.

  6. I think this is a great thing. I remember sweeping outside front gate and hearing all those dogs bark and imagining them freaking out every time Invertigo cycles. I remember feeling bad for the dogs and wished that the pet care center would be moved to somewhere less noisy.

  7. I listen to pretty much everything. For instance, last night I was watching this old movie I got from when I was little and there was some great Mannheim Steamroller instrumental pieces that I looked up on iTunes immediately after seeing the movie (for those interested, the movie was called "Secrets at the Zoo", a 1991 tour of the Cincinnati Zoo with 2 newscasters and Thane Maynard). On the way to work this morning, I was rockin' to some '90s pop and rock tunes from a Now CD. During my shifts, I listened to some For King and Country, AA Arrowhead (a band one of my friends was in at one time), Linkin Park (Meteora), Counting Crows, more 90's pop/rock and even some remixed TobyMac songs! So, as you can see, my music tastes vary and I'll pretty much listen to anything except most country. My favorite band is Thousand Foot Krutch and I was so excited when they came to SpiritSong this past summer as I was working the concert that day. I've met them once and have seen them in concert 4 times (twice at Kings Island and twice at The Underground).

  8. I know they (the person that I bought my ticket from at the gate) asked my zip code when I went to Dollywood a few years ago, but I don't recall this happening when I went to Kentucky Kingdom last year.

    Did you pay by credit? I've seen more and more places around where I live start to ask for zip code when you pay with credit, regardless of the amount.

    I agree with Aaron, I don't know how you can accurately tell where the visitors come from.

    I paid with my debit card.

  9. I don't mind Diamondback's seating arrangement (in fact, when interviewed about the ride for my high school newspaper, I stated that I was most excited about the "wing seats"), but I would love it if they cars were modified into a 4-seater arrangement because this arrangement is what B&M first used back in the '90s.The new seating arrangement might take some getting used to, but I think I would love it if it happened! :D

  10. If Cedar Point does end up getting a Dive Coaster, maybe the selling point could be a world record in a sub-category such as world's longest/tallest Dive Coaster or most inversions on a Dive Coaster. Maybe it could even contain a first-of-its-kind inversion!

    -MDMC, who has never been on a Dive Coaster, but hopes to get to the old country this summer...
