New Name, New Look, New Attitude, Same Great Place!
Captain Nemo replied to Dane's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
There was the Train Tour, the Kitchen Tour, The Great Wolf Tour, The Flying Tour... It was the thought of bill being there that made him there, except for the train tour. PKIC did a... Oh wait I mean KIC (I'm going to have to get used to saying/writing 'KIC') what we call an 'overhaul' because the whole design of the site is changed. New browsing, layout, content... it's all new. Enjoy the site! -
I'm with ryan, either your going to attept to tell us what you have or your going to back up what you are saying.

By the way, they is only because I worked at KI.

I find that buying a pass depends on the person getting it. Truly if you visit the park more than 2 times the pass pays for itself. If I made the choice and lived where you are... I would go for the 2007 Cedar Fair Maxx Pass- $120. The reason being is that if you visit each parks more than 2 times, like I said you made a great deal. I feel I don't need to pay for a Plus pass for admission to the water parks, I go for the rides and if I want to get wet I go on river rapids rides. Don’t get me wrong, water parks are great I just don't think it is worth the extra money for the plus pass. This decision for you is what I would say is a... "Deal, or no Deal" situation.

I did not mind the cats... infact they are what imho keep Kings Island togeather. I never knew the world hung by such a thin thread of 'Dancing-singing-kitten' chaos! The dancing cats always reminded me for some strage reason of a quizno's commercial of a singing...armless... hamster looking thing. ...just watch.

There is no way to post in this topic without sounding like a complete fan boy, I'll try not to sound like one. Mine would have to be my PKI employee work shirt.

Knowing what Kings Island has done in the past... they have followed a pattern to keep everyone coming back... 2000- Thrill 2001- Family 2002- Thrill 2003- Thrill/Family 2004- Family 2005- Family/Thrill 2006- Family 2007- Thrill Kings Island has to keep everyone coming back. Let's look at the rate of major coasters... Vortex (1987) - Top Gun (1993) Top Gun (1993) - Flight of Fear (1996) Flight of Fear (1996) - Son of Beast (2000) Son of Beast (2000) - Firehawk (2007) Major coaster installments came in an average of 5 year increments. So the next major coaster installment for Kings Island will most likely come around 2011-2013.

Thanks for sharing donniejb, I can speak for everyone when we say that we will be more than happy to see more of your memories at KI.

There was some confusion that happened tonight, untill we could find out what was aloud that was a temporary rule.
-
RCfreak, the announcement is taking place on the on the 5th, aka this monday. Until then let's nit jump the shark because the fact is that the 07' attraction has not been announced.

Wonderful report Chef! I can see your face when you first walked into the waterpark, it was probably the same as my face the first time I walked in there. I have to agree with you that Coyoty Cannon is the best ride in the park. BTW I think you got Coyoty Cannon confused with River Canyon Run. The kids area of the park is just greatly laid out, little basketball hoops, little water buckets, and 5 slides for them. Good thing you went during the weekday, weekends are crowded.

I don't see why not. We have the launch area, and the fireworks can be seen by basically the whole park. I would not worry about it.

I have been on a flight, but not on X-Flight; However, I have been on Batwing at Six Flags America, and Superman: Ultimate Flight at Six Flags Great Adventure. Batwing was a crappy experience, the restraints were uncomfortable, and that took all the fun from the ride. Ultimate Flight however was a grand ride. While not worth the hour wait for a one-minute ride, I did enjoy it.

Coaster Track Spotted at Kings Island!
Captain Nemo replied to Gordon Bombay's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Yup, I saw you. I knew you HAD to be from PKIC, or EPKI. I knew because as you drove away you were still lookin at the lot. You... you PKI addict you!! -
what is your ideal rollercoaster?
Captain Nemo replied to pkitrumpet08's topic in Coming Attractions
My ideal rollercoaster! My Ida-coaster! Well, to me a roller coaster much like it's meaning is what I look for in a coaster. But if I had to make a choice. My ideal rollercoaster would have a teaser drop, AKA a predrop just like SOB, or Vortex. It would have lap bars. And of corse needs a good twisted layout that is original. -
We forgive you, unlike that Strong Bad... he would have torn you apart with the lack of spelling and punctuations and don't think that "I'll be your best friend" will fly! Sorry, I looked at tubaman's Sig and saw the SB userbar and had to comment.

This plane was not ours. We did not fly over.

Uncle Henry has to be joking cause he is a white nerd who can't say anything of that caliber, unless he is joking. I got to give props to this guy to take the time of editing those pics, but here is where I get thinking. Do you think he knew we would end up seeing through him? We are all PKI pros. I'm just saying that if this were some sort of test, do you think we passed?
-
Wow, how come it snowed at KI but not anywhere else in Cincinnati? Oh Maureen you are very sneeky... trying to put artificial snow around the Island so we dont go thinking that KI could have stayed open this winter. If that is not the case, Maureen is the Grothar, God of weather. And erACER, he must be Chronos, God of Time!

Continuing the dismantling. http://www.geaugalaketoday.com/ The site has now put up a gallery of all the dismantling pics. -
Last year most returners did not get the packet till January, but that was because of Winterfest. I hope Rehire still happens. And yes Combat, I also want my Yearbook or my money back.
