Original's Disney World Trip
Nice job with the report & pictures! I should hire you to be our personal guide & photographer next time we go down there.

Mrs. Brady vs Mrs. Partridge
I always liked Shirley Jones because of her roles in Oklahoma, Carousel, and The Music Man. As for who's the cooler mom - they're both such plastic characters that if either of them ever got hot, they'd melt.

Park map changes
Stuff on the far right side of the map - the water park - has been jiggled around too!

You mean they moved Flight Deck? WOW! I thought they were gonna use that space for future expansion. (lol)

Theming
I have extremely sensitive hearing (and perfect pitch, if I may add) and I can't take much of that blaring music being played throughout the park. None of that music seems to fit with any kind of "theme" and none of it, except the ads, has anything to do with King's Island. Workers in the game booths shouting over the mic, trying to attract customers, bothers me too.

KICentral T-Shirt Poll
Do you just want to go with a silk-screened 3xL or would you like me to do a digital print on a 3xL-Tall? The 3X will be fine - I also need a large.

New Attraction 2014 Poll
I vote for a wooden coaster - it's about time we get a new one, even if it's a plug 'n play, or a wood/steel combo. However - if we're strictly talking about filling the space of SOB, I truly believe that area should be used to enlarge the park with several rides, concession stands, maybe even an enclosed/dark wild mouse (the air conditioning would be a welcomed relief on those scorching hot days). You see - a coaster takes up a lot of space, but most of that space is wasted - only the track and supports are using valuable ground. So, a new coaster could really go just about anywhere as it's customized to the park.

isnt Diamondback fun!
Welcome. Terms of Endearment should be looked at - they will help with editing your posts so no one complains! DB is a good coaster - I do find it a bit rough in the back seats. That other ride you speak of.....I always bring a brown paper bag with me when I ride it for use when I get off of it. My mind loves it, my tummy doesn't. Enjoy your time here - lots of super folks!

Cedar Point to remove Disaster Transport & Space Spiral for B&M Wing
That is correct - but someday, some company will design a racing coaster with one side going backwards, and they'll brag like it's totally new concept that they thought of - forgetting poor King's Island and the coaster that re-ignited the interest in coasters, and the times once side of it traveled in reverse.

No problem.

KICentral T-Shirt Poll
I need a 3XL - Tall, if possible. I like white, but the other colors are fine.

Theming
I would love to see some Q-met (Quimet) technology!

Theming
Now that Mr. Quimet is on board, and given his time at Disney, do any of you feel that there will be more theming at KI... 1) As a park 2) On individual rides ? I am hopeful that some of the strategies that will emanate from this man will help to make the park a little less helter skelter.

Disney Rides That Never Came To Fruition
Disney "imagineers" should invent a ride called "Fast Pass" - and then every other theme park will copy the idea. Oh - wait! This has been done already! darn!

Strange rumors you've heard
Actually, the Eiffel Tower being moved was an April Fool's joke by some radio station years back.

Strange rumors you've heard
Well, I've heard that..... 1 -The Vortex is sinking 2 - Numerous people died on The Bat 3 - the Eiffel Tower is gonna be moved across the highway to make room for other rides 4 - People were killed on Son of Beast 5 - Screamscape is credible 6 - The Dippin' dots guys know everything 7 - Almost every ride attendant has a relative that knows everything about the park's future feel free to add to my list!

Fast Lane "Plus" Comes to some of the Cedar Fair Parks
I'm not upset at you or anything like that - I'm just so tired of everything costing a buck when my income hasn't gone up in years! And I may get to the park if we have a meet-up. Can't ride any coasters, but that carousel is looking mighty fine!

Fast Lane "Plus" Comes to some of the Cedar Fair Parks
I very much dislike having to pay for parking too. Sorry, but that's how I am. (And I haven't been to the park due to health issues. I probably won't make it this year either.)
