Merry Christmas everyone!

Indeed! And may each of you, in your own way, remember the reason for the season. Terp, moving along...soon!

There are many here who would do it free and consider the opportunity a grand Christmas present.

Merry Christmas to everyone here in the KIC Family, I wish you all the best christmas and I hope you all have a great day!

Thank you Don; Merry Christmas to everyone

God Bless us, Everyone!! Merry Christmas!!!

Thanks Don! Merry Christmas everybody!

Seconded here, and same to you, Don!

Who else noticed the red lamp (the type used all over Action Zone) next to the loop? I found it looking rather odd in that area.

Thanks Don, a very merry Christmas to you too! Also a Merry Christmas to all of KIC.

And there are those of us who greatly prefer the Vekoma Flying Dutchmen to the B&M Supermen. Tatsu is in a much different class, technology, time and cost-wise. There are also those of us that aren't tremendously excited by a certain northern park's new addition. It appears to fit the apparent new paradigm of looking spectacular and thrilling while not being overly aggressive. This is something to ponder in this new management order. Also, remember recent statements that the park is pondering how to expand in the newly available space.

You know, that's a very good question. I actually hadn't noticed what forum it was in. This probably belongs under Polls. I made a small mistake, I meant to put it under the Polls section. Mistakes happen.

You guys should watch this video just released by ThemeParkReview of Son of Beast off ride footage and a POV of it during the loop days..... In a way, It almost makes you wish something could have been done to fix it, But I am glad for the further park expansion space that its removal has given Kings Island.

Merry Christmas to my KIC family. Also happy Yule, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Boxing Day, Festivus and any others I may have forgotten.

Absolutely!We had cats named Bernie & Manny. Their nine lives came up.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say you haven't been on a B&M flyer. I can't think of a single Vekoma ride I enjoy.I went with Mack. The things they are doing are very similar to Intamin, but I do not think the reliability issues are there as much. Rides like Bluefire, and Manta in San Diego are great looking rides. Oh, no I have been on manta, witch I'm pretty sure is a B&M flyer.

As much as I adore Voyage (I seriously need to make it to Waldameer and Mt. Olympus next year), I think I'd rather see a GCI at KI. Realistically, I don't think we're going to see any sizable coasters anytime soon. It doesn't seem to be how Ouimet works, based off the announced 2013 Cedar Fair additions (with the exception of Gatekeeper.) On the plus side, if the rest of the 2013 additions are any indication, we might see some Larson flying scooters come our way, which would make me really happy.

Son of Beast was unique. HypersonicXLC was unique. Unique can be good. Or not so good. And the typical Kings Island customer cares about whether a ride is good or even great, not whether there is another like it in New Jersey, California or China.

Or a multi-launch hugging the terrain and jetting in and out of Ravines.

Don, What's your favorite Ryan Suhr memory?

Nothing to be sorry about. It's not a big deal!

I'm sorry terpy. I didn't noticed that you said something about . so even I over look some things...

2014: Bisch-Rocco (and new paint for the ride that will be giving ride number 100 million that year.) 2015: __________

How's your pole this year? I had a good 100 % steel pole this year in my living room. How was the telling of grievances? The feats of strength? (I won that this year for the record)

Also, pictures and diagrams would make this thread lovely.

A question asked in the very second post....

I want a Miller. (PT looking for a time machine).

Bah humbug.

Racer with one side Iron Horse and one not? This from a park that prides itself on nostalgia? I seriously doubt that will happen. In fact, I think the chances of that are far less than the chances of the Kentucky State Fair Board buying Kings Island to replace Kentucky Kingdom, and having Ed Hart run it.

you named your dog Cleveland?

At least we can look at what Kings Island looks like on Christmas Day! http://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams (they should pay someone to wander around in a Santa suit!)

In my opinion, I would just like to see a new woodie at Kings Island for 2014 or whatever year KI plans on installing a new roller coaster. As far as which manufacturer provides the coaster, I guess it should just be the one who can provide the most safe, we'll constructed, well designed, wooden roller coaster that fits the needs of Cedar Fair, KI officials, and park guests.

Well where was General Grant? Ba dum dum tssssssssssssssssssssssss

Gravity Group. We need another top 5 roller coaster to fill SOB void. Something similar to Voyage, but fills the old layout of SOB.

Yes, someone has.

^ What I meant is for Kings Island to build something similar to El Toro or Voyage.

This is the caliber of the shows I'd like to see at KI. I know that they cost a bit more money, than just the current state of shows. That show was entertaining, fun and had a great story line. I personally don't go to many shows currently at KI because I don't feel that they really have a story line and they are a ton of music. While I enjoy them, I won't see them more than once. Would love to see a return of shows like this though! Gator that stinks that the show wasn't as good as the KI ones!
