In response to Smurfs sig, Artax don't let the sadness of off-season get to you! (I love that movie BTW)

Thanks for the great comments guys. I really appreciate them. More to come this off season guys!

You taking over my idea? Not cool. JK, don't care, idea is cool.

Whether the record was made or not, it sure was fun!

~BYE~ Best Year Ever 2008 On April 20, 2008, Kings Island opened up its gates for the season. We were all overjoyed to see our favorite rides returning for another great summer, but little did we know this would be the biggest summer ever for Kings Island. Welcome to the 5th annual ~BYE~ topic. Where do I begin, this past summer has been nothing but spectacular. Kings Island may be closing for the season but lets take a look at some of the accomplishments made this past year! April -Kings Island opens for its 37th season! -We are treated to new ride names and cool new logos! -Cinnabon Opens on International Street! -The Festhaus receives its first live show since the mid 90's, The County Line! -Nostalgia returns to Racer as both Race as they did when they first opened! -Tomb Raider is brought back more darker and more terrifying in... The Crypt! May -Robbie Knievel successfully jumps 24 Coke Zero trucks! June -Flashback:Totally 80's opens! -Girls Night Out opens in the Festhaus! July -Rick Wallenda beats his grandfathers High wire record! -Kings Island offers its greatest 4th of July fireworks displays ever! Augest -Diamondback is announced! -KICentral hosts its second event! -The Bradys return to Kings Island! September -Major League Eating! -Carmen Electra makes a special appearance at Kings Island! -For the 8th year in a row, Kings Island receives the Golden Ticket for best kids area! -World's largest line dance makes it into the Guinness Book of World Records at Kings Island! -Halloween Haunt returns more gory than ever! I think it is clear enough the Kings Island had the Best Year Every! Like before, This years ~BYE~ will have no poll, only a set of questions that you can answer. Answer each question giving feedback and reason for your decision. Let's get started! As seen above, every month this year had some spectacular event! What month was the best out of the 08' season? Did the word, "Nostalgia" Have its best year ever? What roller coaster in your opinion had its best year ever? What thrill ride? Did Halloween Haunt have its best year ever? What restaurant had the best food? What crew/area was best? The Crypt could be considered the new ride this year, did it have its best year ever? What new show in 2008 was the best in your opinion? What was the best thing that happened this year at Kings Island? What change from 2007 to 2008 was the best? Did Kings Island Central have its best year ever? Was 2008 Kings Islands Best Year Ever? What was the best park about this season, what about 2009 do you look most forward to? You may add more reason of why you think 2008 was the best year ever after these question. Please respect others opinions. Till next year, Have a great rest of your year! -Captain Nemo

I'll do one every week or two

I know I am missing supports in the ravine but I cant figure which one in which in the pic.

You know what really gets me? That right there is not the tallest support! I think we can all agree the animation does this ride no justice.

Very High Quality photos!

I thought I would never fall for this again! Guess not.

That would make sense wouldn't it? I'm just not sure how many would travel to HW for an event like that though.

Good for them! They really are a great park, especially for a park that really needs visitors from out of state and city as they really can't rely on just the locals to bring in income. Speaking of, I will be visiting HW this Sunday. I will provide some photos for all of you!

I personally loved Mean Streak. So much more than Son of Beast! I only rode MS in the front but I can only imagine how rough it is anywhere else.

I was unaware of this. Even IF parents have to pay I think it is well worth it. The new Howl-O-Fest is a major improvement from Nick-or-Treat. You get the costume Parade, Dance Party, the Mazes and so much more all free with park admission.

I know someone who is a KIAddict!!! These are very enjoyable doodles you make and I along with everyone else appreciate that your doing this. Thanks!

Just the sight of the thing gets me in goosebumps.

I felt it is a good time to bump this.

Boy did they put those in fast.

Everything track wise should be done by the last day. Do I really have to explain? I hope to flyover sometime soon!

From the look of it, the whole post swan lake area will be done by the last day of the 08 season!

Beat me to the punch Railrider.

With Halloween Haunt around the corner and off-season approaching, I think we should see some updates during that time. Even if the're barely no updates to the blog need I remind you the updates KIC did during Firehawk!

I have not been, I guess that is a good thing. I must say that the new train designs are nicely designed.

I have full confidence that Coney will do what is best to rejuvenate the waterpark.

This is exactly the kind of designing I like. Something unique, special, one-of-a-kind. I truly love GCI's work.
