I know. Me, too. He's got bigger fish to fry up there on Mount Olympus anyway. [insert comical music bumper from "Laugh-In" here] Tb, who's also glad, say, 3G hasn't shown an interest. Yet.

Hey, wait a minute! At 9:45 in that video, a national (possibly even world-wide) celebrity just endorsed the argument that Racer is two coasters that mirror each other. Does that officially raise Kings Island's coaster count? Very interesting!

I had to read that again before I got the gist of it.

This off-season is quite a bumpy one! Were they thinking of moving them to their locations in more "touristy" states?

That giant lodge, over there beyond The Bat, will also turn 10. http://corp.greatwolfresorts.com/history

EDIT - Withdrawn. I was wrong. Wow, memories do tend to jumble with age. -Tb Time is an illusion. It goes by faster than you think it will. When I reached my 40s, spans of 20 years began to seem like nothing. Don't dawdle, young ones: that line about "life passing you by" is no joke. Get your lives in order quickly, then savor every precious moment of every day. The mythic, false sense of youthful security will haunt you when it spits you out; and that's coming right up!

Glad all passengers are safe, and that the first responders are in constant contact.

Supply and demand, I guess. The consternation of flying is still palpable, even after fourteen years, and someone's gotta pay for the Thousands Standing Around...

I just enjoy watching the Canada geese moving in to keep watch over the park during those long, winter months.

I don't know which was more fun: emulating riding the coaster, or trying to spot landmarks to determine the age of the video...

When you break out GameMaker to design your own version of the Geysers at Whitewater Canyon ...with modifications. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I'm just waiting for Thrill_Biscuit to create an image of Gatekeeper themed to Gateway computers... Um, okay, I'll gladly oblige; it's the holiday season, afterall!

Great video, gforce1994! Yes, waiting in line for SpongeBob 3D was memorable for so many reasons. The trains racing 'around you,' one forward and one backward, while you listened to (or joined in with) entire families singing along with the eponymous character on that TV on the outside wall of the theater ("Steppin' on the beach, root-doot-doot-dooh; steppin' on the beach, root-doot-doot-dooh!") is a summertime memory that is both unique and priceless! I miss it.

For my vacation reading this holiday season, I'm weighing three epic reading options (and I'm not kidding here): Stephen King's "11-22-63," Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace," or ...this thread! Five-thousand-seven-hundred-thirty-two posts about Kentucky Kingdom... on the top Kings Island fan forum? I've been ignoring something for too long, methinks.

This reminds me of the kinds of "pump-and-dump" schemes run by the "Sopranos" crime family, but with an almost hilariously huge bait fish of $3.5 Billion!. Introduce and over-hype a plausible prospect, get investors on board, play your hand as long as you can until the Street gets a whiff of the fishiness, then sell-off and clean up.

I bug them at Guest Services so much, they never need to send me a survey.

When you drive past that construction to and from lunch everyday (instead of any of the 50 restaurants within a half-mile of work). The steel skeleton of the new plaza is up, at least part-way, now. I saw surveyors in the parking lot of the defunct KII&CC yesterday, with those telescope-looking things on tripods, scoping out towards the area behind the new B-Dubs.

My choice would require a return of the popularity of iconic Hanna Barbera cartoons.

Wow! You mean I can get rich off of having no common sense? Hit it, Satchmo! ♫What a wonderful woild! Oh, yeah!"

Makes me want to go out to the lobby, to get myself a treat.

I was expecting a Peanuts attraction.

Garfield's Nightmare:

Route 741, Tylersville and Western Row Roads, for the time being, will have to fill in.

So, Kings Island is expanding Dinosaurs Alive and renaming it Ohio Harbor? All kidding aside, I get the feeling we'll still have our leisurely, prehistoric side show at least another season or two.

Sunbathing? At this hour? Oh, wait... Thanksgiving tomorrow.. oh yeah. (Tb, equally or more slap happy because medicine )
