Lose enough weight to fit my fat butt on Drop Tower

I still think they should do a New Year's celebration now that they are open through December, guess I'll just have to hope for it in 2019...

Awesome! They are having it the day I plan to be there in July!

Usually they are able to be fairly accurate with the temperature this far in advance, for things like if it's going to be rainy or sunny though that's usually within 48 hours. I'd say in the 70's should be pretty good day unless it rains of course.

I have no problem with the shed, like others said it was hyped up to be much more than it really was. I do think it would be neat to change the videos every now and then especially during special events like Haunt & Winterfest, but I do understand the point that there is costs associated with that.

I'd say Potato Works, I see a lot of comments on here about how much people like it, never saw the appeal.

Any plans to expand outside of iTunes? Would be awesome to listen on Google Play during my commute to work

I would guess the reason of not going after murder charge is due to them not wanting to over-charge to make sure they get guilty pleas. Plus for it to be murder it would of had to be pre-meditated, I think he knew very well that his negligence could possibly lead to death but I doubt that his intended to kill anyone, just a poor business man that is going to pay dearly for his mistakes.

I agree, Beast is a completely safe ride if you follow all posted rules including the expected health of the riders which is also posted. Son of Beast unfortunately had a somewhat similar timeline of events as this water slide and we see where Son of Beast is today because of that. I would be surprised if they don't end up getting guilty charges for all 20 counts.

My company picnic is the Friday after the end of the Ferris Wheel being there... oh well, I probably couldn't of talked my daughter into riding it anyways, not the biggest fan of ferris wheels.

Not too many probably compared others on here but here's my list... Kings Island Coney Island (Ohio) Cedar Point Carowinds Family Kingdom This year I will be almost doubling this amount by visiting Dollywood, Hersheypark, Dorney Park, and possibly NJFTP.

I am totally for a multi-launch coaster... but in the space of Adventure Express... no.

Just makes you appreciate even more the acrobatics that they put on not only at the Cirque shows at Kings Island but worldwide just for our entertainment... may he rest in peace...

I came across this video today and thought I would share it, sorry if this has been posted elsewhere on the forum, feel free to remove if it's a duplicate...

I'll be the first one to submit my picks! 1. Diamondback 8. Adventure Express 4. Mystic Timbers 11. Backlot Stunt Coaster 3. The Beast 5. Flight of Fear 10. Vortex 2. Banshee

So I've been thinking about doing something like this for a while but didn't know how well received it would be on here but I figured why not give it a shot, the worst that could happen is I get no replies and the thread just slowly fades away. So what I am doing is creating a March Madness-esque bracket for Kings Island. I have created a 128 "team" bracket that is broken up into the following "regions": Roller Coasters Planet Snoopy Water Rides Halloween Haunt Culinary Options Entertainment Flat Rides WinterFest The teams in the bracket will consist of rides, attractions, and locations that were active as of the 2017 operating season. The seeds that I picked for each bracket were based off of my knowledge of the "teams" and some of the feedback I've seen from others on the forums. In case anyone is curious, the bracket regional winners will square off in the following order: Roller Coasters vs. Planet Snoopy Water Rides vs. Halloween Haunt Culinary Options vs. Entertainment Flat Rides vs. WinterFest Roller Coasters/Planet Snoopy vs. Water Rides/ Halloween Haunt Culinary Options/Entertainment vs. Flat Rides/WinterFest Finals being the latter two winners facing off against each other I will be tracking the scores for these weekly, the first round will be going region by region and then the 2nd round will be 2 regions at a time, 3rd round will be 3 regions at a time, etc. The scoring is pretty simple, I am going to put up the match-ups for the first round and all you have to do is give a list of the winners for each match-up, if you don't feel you know enough about some of the attractions feel free to pass putting a winner for that match-up. The match-ups will go from Friday @ 12:01am EST until 10pm EST on Thursday where I will then announce the winners and reveal the match-ups for the next round. So without further adieu see below for the first round match-ups in the first round of the Roller Coasters regional!: 1. Diamondback vs. 16. The Great Pumpkin Coaster 8. Adventure Express vs. 9. Firehawk 4. Mystic Timbers vs. 13. Invertigo 6. The Racer (red) vs. 11. Backlot Stunt Coaster 3. The Beast vs. 14. Woodstock Express 5. Flight of Fear vs. 12. The Bat 7. The Racer (blue) vs. 10. Vortex 2. Banshee vs. 15. Flying Ace Aerial Chase

Those are pretty cool, would be awesome to see some then and now type pictures with those

That's underrated by Kings Island themselves, not by us

While I agree that the placement doesn't really fit the theme of the ride, it's nice having a water ride on that side of the park as there really isn't any other ride to cool you off in that area unless you want to just stand under the mist on the Banshee sign

I like the trains for The Bat... it's something different than what we got for Banshee & Flying ACE (yes, I just put those two coasters in the same category) with your feet hanging. Variety is the spice of life

I think Zephyr is a very underrated ride, never has a line and is always a fun ride to go on.

Backlot Stunt Coaster!!

I couldn't imagine working that cleanup, I'm sure it's an absolute mess that will take a lot of time and manpower to complete.

But... how would it find its wind it seeks and finds so much?

Flying ACE already has long enough of a wait time due to only running one train, adding VR would just increase that even more. It also tends to always have a pretty long line so I don't think it's popularity is fading at all. I do agree that adding VR to The Bat might be a good idea just because the ride never has a line and it may get some more traffic with it added, but I don't really think it's the layout of that ride that causes it's low ridership, it's the location.
