son of beast
I remember the first looping coaster I was ever on, I was so on edge but after the ride I was wanting to go again. I found it is not the loops that everyone should be scared of, it's how intense it is. If you can handle intense rides you will love SOB.

What ride would you ride first?
I usually go in the circle around the park. Action Zone to Coney Mall to Rivertown to Nick Universe.

Whats your favorite part of Face/off?
Face/Off is not a coaster I go on alot but every time I do I always feel the forces of the G's on my body. According to PKIC the ride pulls 5 G's. 5 is the Max most amusment parks will go for when it comes to pulling G's on a coaster so that is the main reason Face/Off is a 5 on the park scale. So my favorite part is the G's pulled throughout the ride.

It is still the same as when it opened. The only difference is the themeing.

Worst ride
I'm sorry to hear that man. I would like to hear why you think so.

Worst ride
Well, eXtreme Skyflyer was called Drop Zone before the one we now know came in. I have no ride that is on my "worst" list. Every ride gives something different from the others.

Cedar Point Videos
That video is not going to be anywhere near as good as what Indy and the lost Acers will be. It was an ok video, I didn't really enjoy it for my own reasons. It is no where near as good as the Jaws Skippers... Go Jaws Skippers!

What if you were hired to rename KI rides & shops?
Anything with the Paramount name would have to change. The Beast on the other hand, is not a paramount name.

De-Paramount-izing in progress?
I'll buy it. Nick, you made me laugh at the quote"Prototype= Yes" Even the fact that Combat spelled "Part" wrong is aprt of the joke.

De-Paramount-izing in progress?
LoL, as much as I laughed in line when you said you said you were going to do that, seeing it now is just as funny.

Avatar: Coaster or not?
Wow, the polls are close. Great poll! IMHO I think it is a coaster. Just looking at it, it has the features of a coaster. Also saying that it is called a Zamperla Skater Coaster 36. The Zamperla Website even calls it a coaster. Look at the PDF here.

Vortex's Destruction
The first year Tomb Raider: The Ride opened; there were on-ride photos you could buy. You could get the photo to just be of you on the ride rather than what people thought was the whole gondola. I am a proud owner of my own pic of me on the ride, I wish the cameras were still there because the pics were priceless and worth getting.

SOB Fire "Scare"
^Agree, Son of Beast is my favorite coaster at Kings Island.

Here are the Height restrictions for the water park. Baby Swap's are done this way. Some rides have a waiting area in the station for little ones. Rides that do not have this area for them to wait have the Baby Swap Policy. One parent rides while the other is with their kids, when the parent who just rode exits they look after the kids and the other parent will be aloud on the ride. I don't think you will have to do this if you are in the kid’s area the whole day.

Lots of info needed please!
It's great to hear your making a trip to PKI; I hope you have a great and awesome time! I have some information for your questions you will find useful. There are many Hotels in the area in general; some hotels do accommodate Kings Island. Hotels listed offer a Paramount's Kings Island room and admission package that include General Admission tickets to the park. Packages are based on availability, most are valid weekends only. Package prices are at the sole discretion of the hotel and are subject to change without notice. http://www3.paramountparks.com/kingsisland...comodations.cfm Some additional information, some cool news, your 1 year old can go in the park free. For the rest of your kids it's $29.99. Now there are ways to lower this price. Other than what the hotel you stay at does price wise, you can see if they will accept coupons. Coupons are found in most products the park is partners with. There partners are all here... Partners The Park web site does it's best to help you with your trip, enough to give you some list of rides your whole family can enjoy. http://www3.paramountparks.com/kingsisland...isit_kids_6.cfm Strollers, no problem. I have never had to use one... I'm too old, but I know from what I have seen and heard no one has had any problem with them. They are made of basic hard plastic and come in doubles or singles. Strollers also come with an extendable sun-roof! The shuttle bus should allow you to bring your own stroller on the bus to the park but the park stroller can't leave the park. Hope this helps along with the info given by other posters. Have a wonderful trip!

Speed Pass?
Flight of Fear may work if they added another train to increase capacity. Face-Off is one of those rides that are hard to make a speed lane for. That ride itself needs to work hard to get the line moving at a good pace. Now the crew this year is doing a great job and the line has been moving quite well so it could work. But why buy a speed pass when you can just go on a day the park is not crowded?

Wow...Just, wow
This article is a tough one for me to decide on, do I agree or disagree? In most cases during my read I did not agree 100% with what BENJAMIN ROODE had to say about our park. His constant know-it-alls really got on my nerves, and I also did not like how he compared every ride here with a ride at Cedar Point (Face-Off being Wicked Twisters answer?! I don't think so). You can tell by the way he wrote this he was bashing our park, or he just want to make his home park look better which is understandable. As far as the statement about Cedar Fairs children’s area being "better", all I have to say is... Golden Ticket Award!!! Now any person whose home park is Cedar Point is obviously going to think that it is the best park and see what ways their park is better than others (admit it, you probably do it to when you visit another park).

Mystery Mine
Maybe it's that Mine drop ride from RCT3 ... I would think this is a coaster, most likly a dive.

Mystery Mine
Mystery Mine -The Journey Something was seen up in the hills long ago... something. No one is to go into that area. Is the rumor true, or just a made up story to scare children? It is said that whoever entered this "place" never got out. What is this place? ...The mystery continues! ~The June 9th update can be seen by scrolling down~
