Captain Nemo

As a former mod, I hate when topics get like this. It is unfair to the user who made the topic! Can everyone just learn to use the PM or report button? Thanks! Great Interview Kirk! Love the site and love how your finding ways to inform people who love the park just for the rides to also find the Entertainment side of KI just as interesting and fun! Your doing a great job!

Hey everyone, have not posted in a while so... hey to everyone that knows me! A few weeks back I moved into my own appartment which is located a little closer to KI, well, actually it is right next to KI. I see the park about a mile away when I pull into my parking spot. Nice view to say the least. Anyway, I passed the parking lot on my way to work this morning and already knowing the the first piece of the tower came in a day ago, I had to take a glace while driving by. I must say, the tower is quite large. I would not be surprised if it was an oversize load on the truck. It will be fun seeing the construction of the tower right from the porch.

Tomb Raider The Ride. I could write a book about how much I loved that ride and how it changed my life.

Well, happy new year?

(1:03) Love the new look.

"Some kind of celestial event. No - no words. No words to describe it. Poetry! They Should Have Sent A Poet. So beautiful. So beautiful... I had no idea."

Much like Cedar Fair can't be blamed for cutting trees down. Remember IJST, and TRTR?

It's too bad they couldn't have done the same for the Flying Eagles as they have now done with ocean motion.

Dude, that's the fireworks launch site.

Monster! Case closed

What I found intriguing was the way it was announced. The Mississippi Boat, the ship which connected the two shores of the lake inside the park, was destroyed and burned into flames right in front of the spectators there for the announcement. The ship sank minutes into the burning. The announcement can be seen here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQLnLzdT8GM&feature=related ... and yes I know what everyone is thinking right now in response to this video when it comes to KI.

Mystery Mine is 1811' and is my favorite coasters. Anything is possible. Oblivion is 1222'. From what I hear, even with its extremely short length, it has a huge fan base.

-following is translated into English- New in 2011 - in the bay of pirates skull there is great excitement. In the otherwise peaceful, central Heide-Park Lake, mysterious things have been going on: the bubbling waters are awakening a gigantic monster. The huge creature just waiting for the most fearless of all pirates ventured the fantastic adventure and takes the fight to be spectacular. But beware, because with this unique opponents not to be trifled with truth. Those looking for a new dimension of thrills and fun is the most sensational new attraction just right. Germany's first dive coaster in 2011 writes not just another stunning chapter of piracy but also makes the Heide-Park Resort richer by a huge experience. -end of translation- Manufacturer: Floorless B&M Dive Coaster Trains: 3, 18 per train, Length: 1561'' Height: 134'' Elements: 1 Inversion (Immelmann) 90* drop Splashdown

Whats the obsession with Kings Island Rides and riding them over and over again? Get it?

It was fun... I guess, but 110% not worth its price tag! I think their needs to be a price check on the Intamin aisle... price check on the Intamin aisle

I don't think Chang would be a good fit for any park, it's a horrible coaster! If they get rid of the stand-up trains and put sitdown trains instead it will be much better.

I'm so done with trying to understand why Ceder Fair continues to give Intamin their money...

The whole Stride gum train takes away so much from this whole story. But congrats on El Toro reaching 1,000,000
