You Wanna See The Brady Bunch at Kings Island?
Hank replied to DeLorean Rider's topic in Kings Island
^ Alice didn't fix them that lunch! I think that's the first time they've eaten' out! -
Man Built Own Coaster In Backyard
Hank replied to arichmann's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I wonder if he's using "G" trains? Or Premiere? Or PTCs? Or a Whirpool box with wheels? Hey - maybe they should try the Whirpool box thing on SOB. Wait - use a Maytag box...fewer repairs! -
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that those G trains will be used for Top Gun!

What is your favorite location at Kings Islands?
Hank replied to PKIMAN!!!!!!!!!!'s topic in Kings Island
I've always enjoyed sitting on the patio at the pizza place in Rivertown. (eating pizza, of course!) -
Very nice. Question...there is a pic of the first turn. I heard it was re-profiled after the ride opened. Can you supply any more info on that?

New Name, New Look, New Attitude, Same Great Place!
Hank replied to Dane's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
You guys do good work! The Beast pics are a real find. And I forgot how smooth KC was at one time! -

They HAVE TO power wash that track - need to get the "Cleveland" off of it! (hey, I was born there so I can comment if I wish!) -
Flight Comm. was too slow and it got boring after the 2nd time around.

Last car - middle seat (it's not over the wheels!)

Hey - I started a thread a while back about the Coke/Pepsi thing...look it up! Maybe the machines needed to get their signs replaced, or maybe CF doesn't want machines that don't work (seems like every time I try to get a pop out of the machine, it eats my money). Or, maybe this is a hint from Maureen? -
Put tunnels on every coaster!
-
Thrillnetwork has a posting saying the name for the relocated coaster will be Firehawk. Anyone else hear this?
-
We'll probably end up with Snoopy and the Haunted Dog House. Good grief!
-
I think they should do a Brady Bunch/Partridge Family reunion at PKI. They could all stay at Great Wolf Lodge, and Alice could fix them all a good dinner!

Pepsi Cola hits the spot Twelve full ounces that's a lot Twice as much for a nickle Makes my body tinkle (problem is, it ain't a nickle and, with all the ice, you'd be lucky if you got 8 oz.)
-
I have had over 15 spinal operations and I can't take cold water, as it cramps my back in a really bad way. I have no problems at PKI. This should speak volumes.

I can just see it now... Icee/Frozen Coke...$6.00 (price includes tax)

I know a lot of you are youngsters and money is either easily had or given - in other words, you're wealthy. Those of us with families who are just trying to get by (quite a bit of the country, I'm told) almost have to float a loan for a day at an amusement park. Hell, it's a fortune to take the family to a current movie at a theatre! Any day I'd pay $3 for a bottle of pop - I'll drink water. And the parking prices suck big time, too! One day - and it won't be too far in the future - the parks will price themselves out of business. Mark my words...some parks have already seen a drop in attendance and some have closed. Even the great Universal Studios is doing rather poorly, as mentioned in other topics. I love coasters and such, but believe me; if it's a matter of paying my bills, keeping my house and car, and educating my children, the parks drop to the bottom of my "must do" list, as do buying a new car, going out to eat, getting new clothes, taking vacations, remodeling the kitchen (with the leaking ceiling), even giving to church! So, even though I started this thread, I guess it really doesn't matter what they sell in the way soft drinks. If I do, indeed, go to the park this year, good old H2O will have to quench my thirst for the day. It's all I can really afford.
-
Sort of off topic, but I think Holiday World used to have Mt. Dew sponsor the park and all Mt. Dew drink was free all day long. I don't know if this is still the case. I realize that HW is small compared to KI or CP, but couldn't they (CP & KI) get a sponsor too? I mean, come on - at least give something like Diet Coke away at no charge. They'd still sell tons of the other varieties.
-
Has anyone heard if Coca-Cola will be the soft drink at KI this year? I know the other CF parks have Pepsi, and I see that Coke is still advertized on the KI website, but I wonder... I know that it's a personal thing when it comes to pop choice (as it does pizza), but I enjoy having a Coke when my tummy gets upset on the "choke & puke" rides.

Paint it bright red and call it Transplant!

^ Dearest Santa, Don't you know how to properly spell your name? Or are you the "new" Santa - with all the exceptions?
