The current cycle is about 14 minutes. There are 24 light sequences and 13 fountain sequences. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To be exact, the fountain has 106 nozzles and 336 lights. I have all of the water and light sequences memorized, as many of you know already. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last week, I was standing on International Street by the fountains and a little boy asked his parents if there were stingrays in the fountain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Board To Death and Urgent Scare both being removed. They don't seem that great anymore. It seemed like last year, there were fewer monsters roaming the midways than in previous years. I remember going to Haunt in 2007, which was the first year it changed from FearFest to Halloween Haunt. There were a lot more monsters back then. This year will be different because I'm sure there will be Winterfest preparation going on during Haunt. Assuming it's like it was in 2005, they will probably drain the fountain after Labor Day to begin preparation for the ice rink. So Blood Drums might not be the same this year with the fountain being drained. We'll just have to wait and see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hope they at least turn some of the fountains on for future shows. During today's show, the fountains were off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My cousin told me that the original Bat at KI was recycled by Cedar Point and became Iron Dragon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I rode Son of Beast in August 2007, not long after it reopened from the 2006 accident. I rode it again later that year in October. And then again in June 2008. I personally enjoyed the coaster a lot, much better than Mean Streak. I'm just glad I got the credit. I would have rode it again with no hesitation had it reopened again.

Hi everyone. I'm currently at Kings Dominion and I noticed that their Eiffel Tower still has the extended antenna. I know the one at KI was removed sometime in the 90's. Does anyone know why? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was told that WindSeeker was originally supposed to go behind Vortex's lift hill. Something about the soil or the land not being suitable was why it had to go in its current spot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was at Kings Island on 7/5/17 and I noticed they changed the soundtrack that plays during the fireworks. It's all hits from 1972. The two I can remember for sure are Rocket Man by Elton John and Listen To The Music by the Doobie Brothers. It's nice to hear songs from when the park opened. It's hard to believe that Kings Island is 45 years old. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you look around, there are lots of dead or half dead trees throughout the park. Many of them are ash trees. When you're on the train sitting at the Soak City station, there are 4 or 5 half dead ash trees right there. They're probably just marking dead ones to remove. The emerald ash borer has really become a major problem in this area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just ate at the International Street Skyline for the first time this season. The setup is much better now. Now, you pay first, then get your food. Last year, it was the opposite. Makes the line go so much faster. Good job KI! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm at the park now and it's already getting crowded. Cars are pouring into the parking lot. I even bought a Fast Lane plus and it's definitely going to be worth it today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At least it's not another water main break. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I was there a few weeks ago, Raptor, TTD, Valravn, Iron Dragon, and Wicked Twister were all closed for several hours. And that was the Saturday of Run and Ride, so the park was really busy. And then none of the drink stands had ice. That came with lots of unhappy guests. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hope you have a good time at MiA. I have yet to visit that park. I thought about going up a few weeks ago, but they were apparently having issues with rides the first few weeks. Thunderhawk was closed as of a few weeks ago, but hopefully it will be open when you visit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In line for MT and the woman behind me was pointing to RFYLCB and thought that was Soak City. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm sure glad I went to the park yesterday and not today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kings Island Finally Finds Solution to Royal Fountain Geese Problem
pianoman replied to pianoman's topic in Kings Island
There was one corner of the fountain that did not have the wires installed next to the control room. On my last visit, I noticed that maintenance has put wires up in that corner. Hopefully, this keeps the geese from sitting on the edge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

The geese like to sit on the lights in the fountain to sleep once they shut off for the night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Were the lights on in the fountain when you walked by? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
