The Interpreter Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Well, Jonathan Livingston was a book devoid of content...and sold very well. And it was about Gulls, so it wasn't entirely Pointless... Terpy, who thought some bird of a certain age would note we weren't necessarily speaking of Dennis....

TheCryptRaider Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The dive coaster made me laugh when I first heard it. Also, somebody on the news said, "I heard it's gonna be 500 feet tall and its going to have 600 loops," I was like, "If you rode that you'd die." Ugh, people are so ignorant, making stuff up. When the guy did say we were getting a dive coaster, I thought, "Yeah? And its gonna be from B&M? At Kings Island?" And I laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgshredder33 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 O haha many of my friends have said that if you fall in swan lake or international street fountain you will get electricuted(sp?) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgshredder33 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 ^ Nevermind I just read the whole thread and found out that is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 No, more correctly, it was true as to one pond because of electrical problems that have long since been fixed. That being said, guests do not belong in the fountains or ponds, except they skate on the I-Street fountain pool during Winterfest...oh, wait... Well, as of April 18, they can glide across Swan Lake in a coaster train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIPoodle Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 No one is aware of that incident, which I find interesting, just as nobody was aware of Karl Wallenda's walk in the 70's until his grandson recently walked a tightrope at Kings Island. Anybody know that an employee has been struck by lightning in the parking-lot before? i heard something similar (if that one has any basis in truth, this one is probably the usual rumor mill sorta funny addons) that someone was struck in the lot and tried to sue the park for not warning that that might happen in a storm at the park.

XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ^See #7 here. #7: Shawn Perkins of Laurel, Ind. Perkins was hit by lightning in the parking lot Paramount's Kings Island amusement park in Mason, Ohio. A classic "act of God", right? No, says Perkins' lawyer. "That would be a lot of people's knee-jerk reaction in these types of situations." The lawyer has filed suit against the amusement park asking unspecified damages, arguing the park should have "warned" people not to be outside during a thunderstorm.

CincinnatiCyclone Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I heard that The Vortex was sinking. I also heard a stupid one that said that KI imported all new rides called Invertigo, Flight Deck, Drop Tower, and The Crypt. And That peaple who own the park designed the rides.

The Interpreter Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Technically, Invertigo, Drop Tower, and The Crypt could be considered imports.... And The Beast was designed in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincinnatiCyclone Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 No, I mean that some peaple think that Drop Zone was demolished and Replaced with Drop Tower, Invertigo was put in the place of Face/Off, Top Gun was torn down and replaced with Flight Deck, and Tomb Raider was shipped back to germany and they sent a new one called the Crypt.

kjkjkj Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I love Son of Beast, it's one of the most thrilling and fun rides in the park. The only way I'd be willing to let Son of Beast go, is if Maverick got put in it's place . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZukoGirl Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The funniest one I've heard was that they were going to build a Stratacoaster pretty much like TTD or KDK which ever you perfer, right behind The Beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTools Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Ive heard that they are putting SOB's loop on Vortex. Don't START!
