  1. WindSeeker, or any form of cable cars.
  2. I've always been curious as to why Kings Island closes for 4 days during the week leading up to Labor Day weekend. Is it because all the schools around are back in session? I know that in Michigan, where I reside, the state passed a law prohibiting the schools from going back before Labor Day. For several years I always took a week of vacation during that week so as to maximize my time away from work (weekend before, week, long holiday weekend) and always thought that that would be a good time to get back to Kings Island. But when I would look online I would discover that they were closed. And of course, I would forget about this little problem by the following year. Upon further research, I found that this was not strictly a Kings Island thing. I noticed many parks, with the exception of Cedar Point, were closed during this time. I hadn't been since 1996, so I really had a desire to get back, as I always found Kings Island to be a beautiful park with some great rides. Needless to say, I was a bit perturbed every year. After all, it was still August! But, on a positive note, I did finally get back for one day in 2013, and 3 times this year.
  3. I appreciate that. I found a couple of t shirts I would have purchased, but not one shirt in my size. And I am not an odd sized, difficult to fit individual.
  4. My complaint about the 80s store was they had nothing in men's sizes. The biggest I saw in there was large. If they're going to sell retro 80s gear, how about stocking some sizes for middle aged guys like myself that were not only alive in the 80s, but remember all the things being sold. Just some extra large stuff would be a good start.
  5. Not one single mention for the first drop on Gemini. It may not be that tall, and it does only go 60mph, but the forces pushing you into your seat at the very bottom of that hill are pretty strong. Throw the racing thing, and the headchopper effect, and it is definitely in my top 10. Desperado at Buffalo Bill's Casino in Primm, Nevada is pretty good, too.
  6. As a locomotive engineer, let me just inform you that the air compressors on our locomotives are bigger than a smart car. Or at least pretty darn close. Those air horns require quite a bit of pressure.
