What?? SMDH!! I mean, where do people come up with this stuff? I just don't understand how this statement would even make sense in their mind. I would hope that they are just joking around, but sadly I doubt he or she really was. I mean, do they think these towers have legs and they move around at night? Ugghhh, just don't get it. I'm sure he meant 'so that aircraft don't run into them,' but was distracted by something. Beats me.

..and if THAT ever happens on Flume, well then all is lost, my friend, all is lost!

"I don't want to be up here when that thing goes off!" Guest on Eiffel Tower, pointing at the microwave transmitter (that thing that looks like a gray, sideways saucer on the SW side). And then, there was this logical gem: "All these tall towers got flashin' lights on top of 'em so as they don't run in to each other."

There are so many, many potential jokes hidden in the last few posts. I don't want to go there! ..."Go there." See, there's another one. Sheesh!

They ran Kings Island commercials in Detroit when I lived up there (not sure if they still do, though).

Closed-circuit surveillance is your friend. Throwing objects of any kind at an occupied, moving vehicle constitutes assault. I hope they threw the book at... I mean, carefully opened the book and administered level, fair justice upon said miscreant. Or perhaps they should just throw the book at him. After all, that's essentially what he did to someone else. Eye for an eye, anyone? He should spend a day laying down in Diamondback's debris net.

Some of the craziest I've seen: Rehearsed, synchronized "overreaction" on Adventure Express by about 12 guys as it pulled out of the station. Same words, arm movements, etc. "Aaah! Make it stop! We're gonna die! Aaaaaaaaaah!" Dork in front car on same ride, reaching up with his finger and acting like he's getting a little sample of the "lava" bucket in the monkey temple. Yeah I call it the monkey temple. Whaddya gonna do about it? Choir kids (trying to) sing Train while riding the BLSC. ...("Hey, soul sister, ain't that 'Mister [launch] Mistoooooowwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!")

A coaster whose authorized POVs look like they were filmed during a 7.4 aftershock certainly could use some creative re-tracking, for sure.

Shaggy, I whole-heartedly, knee-slapping-rising-to-my-feet-whistling and applaudingly agree with your conclusion. Yes, yes, yes!!! I'm sure Cedar Fair would handle the visual aspects with great care. But as I have said many, many times before: If they're going to blast music over the loudspeakers at the front gate (and along International Street for that matter), they really, really, really, really, really need to play something that evokes the same kind of emotions that the movie themes did during the Paramount era; and that the Pops Orchestra, International Symphony music in the prior years did for the entrance --like you're entering a really special kind of place! The stuff they play now over the front gate and fountains sounds just plain wrong.

I believe in a Ghost. I also believe in a "'Geist" (even though I've never even been to Busch Gardens). ...and let me reiterate: ,

My mechanic can sometimes be a jerk, but I don't know if he's on Prozac.

I think we saw water dummies on the ride last Wednesday(?) My wife asked some employees on our way out of BLSC at closing time if they knew when it was going to open, and they didn't know. A security guard tried to explain that there was some kind of interference or bottleneck caused by the WS line and the entry/exit to DA3D, but I doubt that's the reason for its downtime.

The mechanical jerk is new. What's always been there is the airtime when the ride reverses direction and "catches" you out of what was to be your inertial trajectory, I think (I slept through physics).

I love those outlandish, over-the-top (and the puns just keep on coming) top hats with the feathers. I think they're prizes somewhere.

I concede!

I said "irony," ..not cliché. ... jk good catch, Terpy

I remember the 'bring a friend free' days a few years ago, when I swear you could get in a couple games of ring toss while waiting in line for The Vortex. Yes, it's much less crowded these days, but moreso than usual.

I'm a firm believer in irony. Not that I'm superstitious; but if a tornado ever came at the park, I'd probably steer clear of rides with names like "Vortex," "Zephyr," or "Monster." Just sayin' lol...But for real, I'd like to check out where these 'duck-n-cover' shelters are located... this is the first I ever heard of them.

Yes. I saw them "fess" up to that. It would have been a real boon for northern Ky...

Just mind all the pop-tops!

^Parrothead My turn! Change changing places Root yourself to the ground Word to the wise, well you get what's coming One word, one word can bring you 'round: Changes!

I guess it depends on those things and stuff.

Boy! And they have nukes! I hope they don't have an SBNO wooden hypercoaster there!

The line went very quick for my wife and me last weekend. The line was past the picnic pad, but it only took about 20 minutes 'til we reached the inside.
