  1. King Cobra track is stored in two locations but it is not useable, for one its very corroded and rusted with holes in the rails and such, and several places, the track wasnt even unbolted, it was just cut with a torch to separate. Ever since Togo went out of business it was near impossible to get anypart for it so a lot of it was makeshift.
  2. Originally KI bought 1200 acres of land, since then around 500 of those acres have been sold, they still have around 700 acres and only 400 are built upon.
  3. Since there are no restrictions on choices, i must say Xtreme Skyflyer.
  4. dont worry Kings Island bribes the bees not to sting people, the only time they do is if Kings Island doesnt give them theyre daily honey
  5. just so you guys know, six flags co. is 3.4 billion yes billion dollars in debt, because of everything they keep building, and i think ki is better than any of those parks
  6. A lot of KIs land is part of a national forest reserve though that they cant build on if it requires the massive clearing of it. Mainly from about SOB to the little miami river.(the back border of pki's land)
  7. Obviously if people are willing to pay it theyre not going to lower the price. Plus there are ALWAYS coupons, like AAA, Blockbuster, i was at meijer today and there were 50% off coupons. But honestly if you want the best deal, buy a season pass (even cheeper is a family pass). I know before i worked at KI i would probably go close to 30 times a season. If the pass is 90$ thats only 3 dollars a visit. The pass really does pay for itself after 2 visits.
  8. I got to see the cars fishtail, it was pretty sweet. And to me it was pretty noticeable.
  9. Six flags isnt the best at finding names for their coasters, lol, "X".
  10. Well im happy for you guys, i'd hate to see AT go down.
  11. The brady bunch episode was filmed in 1973, one year after the park opened. How i know this i cant remember but i search it once and found a lot about that episode. I have it recorded i just wish i could find it. The canoe ride is called shawnee landing which is where The Beast now stands. If you stay at the Kings Island resort they have an official copy of the episode at the front desk for you to watch if you ask. Now that i think about it, i think i got my info from that unifficial guide to KI that you can buy in like all of the gift shops.
  12. I havnt but i have wanted to very badly, I know people who have and I saw the book. Ive put many people on through the exit using those. They ride through the exit and then the right comments and information about their ride expierence.
  13. Im so glad i got my riding in cause i rode it many times in a row to committ it to memory. Still though i think they should have kept it. The reason it was so cool was cause it was the only realistic show they have ever had.
  14. This is so stupid, the only good movie they've had since the ride has ever been there they take out. I know that all the management at Kings Island reads these posts and i must say that that is a really bad move. Secreats of the lost temple, Smash Factory, heck even Meteor attack at least stayed till the end of the summer.
  15. Ah ok, yea that was what i was thinkin bout, Im sure the ride experience is very similar. My bad but like i said Screamin Squirll has been in the coaster news alot.
  16. Q: Hey this huge sign says entrance, where do you enter? A: Look at the sign again. Q: (at skyflier) If we dont pull the rip-cord can you pull it for us? A: Oh yea, we just climb the 172 foot, do a tightrope walk on the cabels, reach really far to the orange nob on ur side and then pull it, then do the tight rope again and climb down the latter. Q: (also at skyflier) Can I keep the suit? A: Sure, that will be $2000 please.
  17. you guys havnt seen that before? its made by S&S Power. Its been in the coaster news for about a year now. Prototypes have been all over the place. Ive seen a video of the prototype running with stan checkets riding it, it is completely covered by trim breaks, it looks totally crazy.
  18. Now and then if you ask the ride ops. they will stop the lift on any coaster while the fireworks are going off, its pretty cool to watch them from there on any coaster. It has to be wanted by all the guests on the train though.
  19. It was pretty cool. That little hot dog thing, the Chicowaa or whatever it was called, was freakin me out. We were right behind the seat with it in, I was so scared it was gonna break off and hit me in the face. LOL Im kinda bumed that its not gonna be aired in the US. The food was good. I hope to do it again some time.
  20. Who knows, I bet not many people bought them. Ive seen many people buy pics on like beast and Vortex and such but Never on TRTR. I never would. Its probably just like a one year thing.
  21. No problem, hey dont count on what I said, im not at all sur about who they are. There are all sorts of security people, im sure they all have a definate purpose, its just who knows what those purposes are? Next time you're at the park just ask Guest Relations or call 1-800-288-0808 the guest relation toll free number.
  22. Danny there is no way you rode Skyflier 30times this year. Ive been ridin that thing since it came out and ive only ridden it 34 times. I ride it a lot and ive ridden it 14 times this year. Do some counting DXrunner. Oh and the park wasnt open in March.
