The Racer kicks puppies, does not keep itself presentable, only half shows up to work most days, and The Beast is going to raise taxes, and shoot Grandma. I'm Diamondback, and I approve this message.

Both parties are campaigning at Viking Fury and Delirium, each trying to get swing votes.

Yes, it will be retired soon. Vortex is still sinking......

When I first saw this I thought, oh no, politics on KIC...there will be some huge war then a bunch of people will end up being banned... ..then I realized it was about rides at Kings Island.

There are nicer ways to tell someone they are wrong than being a know it all dick.

I'm swinging towards the Suspended party. They've had a rough history, but I feel they're a third party that will lift us up longer than they'll let us down. They won't fatigue us by bending the words of the other parties like back in the 80's, and I think Flight Deck has got a chance to crack through the opponents' leads by just a hairline. The Arrow's pointing to the Suspended party, folks. They won't leave your feet dangling! Plus, I heard the Wood party's got a candidate with an illegitimate child whose poor reputation they're trying desperately to hide from the public eye. What's up with that, anyway?

Face Off is Invertigo now....

They are also opposed to letting civilians use a restroom without crossing borders.

I'd recomend not voting for Flight of Fear and Firehawk. They seem to be hiding government secrets such as alien sightings.

You know, come to think of it, Drop Tower does look kind of bigger than most other Drop Towers.... Flight of Fear might be on to something here...

I just have to ask, why is it necessary to start a flame war and be nasty online?

Updated post You can update your posts all you want, you still don't and won't know what you're talking about.

Remember when Brian5475E trumpeted his inside knowledge about the future of SOB and hinted that it would be saved? Don't be a Summer's Eve.

So which ride would YOU elect as President of Kings Island? The Beast and Diamondback are obviously the major party candidates, but there's a host of third-party options and even a place for write-in votes. Cast your ballot!

Don't be a

Oh really? And you've seen the budgets? Did you get this information from "people you know?" The information you supplied about budgets to steel coaster maintenance is just plain wrong. Seriously, just stop.

Monster, Scrambler (Family Party). I expect them to "Dodge" all the hard questions, it will "Bump" them up in the polls.

Flying Eagles for the Defunct Party.

Thanks, jcgoble3! This is a great, fun way to get through another off-season day!

Hello im Flight of Fear running in the Launched Party! I choose BLSC as my V.P just 3 months ago! Im currently caimpainging in the Action Zone area. An area hard hit by corruption and the resignation of Son of Beast. I promise i will lower taxes and bring parties together! Im also working with Senator White Water Canyon and Congresswoman Congo Falls to help. White water canyon is investigating reports of Diamondbacks Tax fraud! Congo Falls is investigating Drop Towers Steriod abuse. We must not elect these people. Me and BLSC will work together and lower taxes on Kings Island and stop being dependant on Cedar Point! Im Flight of Fear and I approve This Message!

The Vortex campaign has accused Diamondback of "eating Rivertown," and using it's vaunted splashdown for political expedience. His closest ally, Senator Shake Rattle 'n Roll, was too busy raising three issues at a time, only to spin them and bring them back down to earth, which helps the Steels somewhat, but leaves the Woods seeking support from other areas of the park.

As much as I love the Monster and Scarmbler I gotta go with the wood party. The Beast and Racer are my two favorite roller coaster at Kings Island. Gotta love the classics.

That smarmy commentatrix makes me want to vote for the guy just because of her condescending and vituperative vitriol. Jeez, wake me up when this crap is all over!

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, steel to steel. The process of life, one is made, runs, and dies, for example a few of the slides at the latter WaterWorks. To me, this is great news! With the ride gone, a new ride put in, like a clone! *as BB1 said in a sarcastic tone* If it goes, it will be missed, but if it stays well congratulations Vortex riders, you may ride on

Darn ... and I was just starting to like it.

Oh my God. Stop it. All of you. You are bickering over minute matters that don't even matter. Spiders? They are animals, not even haunted. But scary. Show me a spider and I'll run away faster than hell. Spandex? Well....that really depends on the person wearing the spandex if it's scary or not BAM.

You must be new to the Internet.

Updated post You can update your posts all you want, you still don't and won't know what you're talking about. And you know it all, Correct? No wonder membership has dwindled here. With douche bags like you jumping down people throats and acting like you are the know all, end all in roller coasters. I never said I knew anything for sure. This was my guess. Or perhaps membership has "dwindled" because of supposed know-it-alls like you.

Updated post You can update your posts all you want, you still don't and won't know what you're talking about. Let me get some popcorn. This is getting good.

Too soon?

This sounds like a fun way to ask yourself a question. You could do it for other parts too, like: Nose, why do you struggle to maintain an air passage when you have a cold?

Brian, if wooden coasters are cheaper to maintain, why do steels far outnumber them?

Oh really? And you've seen the budgets? Did you get this information from "people you know?" The information you supplied about budgets to steel coaster maintenance is just plain wrong. Seriously, just stop. I think you need to chill out and walk away from the computer for a while. I have no idea what you are trying to say, but I was just stating that simple logic would be that wood is cheaper to modify and repair than steel. And the "people I know" comment??????? As I stated in the previous comment, I take it as rumor. So should you.

Simply put; no and no.

Adventure Express is kind of an Independent: leans a little Wood, leans a little Steel. AE is also admired for having a unique perspective on coasterdom; what with its lift hills in the middle and at the end of its track, always providing an uplifting future to its riders.

Political spins make me sick..... Thus- I will not vote for the Teacup party.

They might be old-fashioned, but they've worked for a looong time! Wood Party 2012.

The Wood party suffered a dip in the polls when Son of Beast crossed over into the Rubble party. I'd say moderates who sit on the Wood/Steel fence (Adventure Express) can bring unity to the coaster race this time around.

can't decide between these two: and The second one's got a catchy toon lol

Vortex has nothing wrong with it, I hope that this is just a rumor.

So if Hollywood makes a movie about people in morph suits then Mysteria is automatically related to Halloween? You are missing the point. The point of the haunts is to scare people. To you Mysteria might not be scary, but to a nine year old working his or her way up to the scariest haunt it is a good starting point.

Maybe they're taking a cue from "The Nightmare Before Christmas"

Christmas music all year on Pandora. Don't even judge me.

^ What influenced your conclusion more? The line or the cheeseburger?

How fast does Hell run? Oops. Wrong thread. I think.

I personally disagree, I mean if you think about it, Son of Beast may have failed but it was a wooden hyper-coaster reching speeds of 78 mph and topping at heights over 200 ft. with a vertical loop.

Truer words have never been spoken. Ohio is the spoiled little brother to all the other states during the election.

Regarding seasonal merchandise in a retail store, what is your suggestion for between halloween and thanksgiving? The stores have a dedicated location for whatever the current holiday is, and there is very little non-food thanksgiving related merchandise. The other options would be to leave it empty, or fill it with something that is wasting valuable selling space. It makes sense to put christmas junk out as soon as possible after halloween.

But we haven't even met, yet! Terp, an inside joke at KIC?

Well seeing how there is no catwalk or set of stairs anywhere near the cobra roll for them to safely evacuate from, I'd say no.
