100% incorrectly interpreted! Not only has Wings Diner served Montgomery Inn ribs up until the transformation into a buffet, IR also featured Montgomery Inn catering during last year's Winterfest. You might want to find something new to interpret! He was saying that the "Montgomery Inn ribs" served at Wings were just branded that way featuring the montgomery inn sauce. The quality of food at the actual Mongtomery inn boat house compared to wings diner was quite a strong contrast. While the sauce was the same, the meat was not. You didn't get the same food you could get at The Boathouse or the REAL montgomery inn. Interpreter didnt say that montgomery inn ribs were never suerved there, they were montgomery inn, just not the same as the real ones. Maybe you should find a different bible to write.

Yes, that song thats played is "Freedom" by Rage Against the Machine, except the opening verse is edited out, and for good reason.

condos are usually built with beautiful location in mind too.

^I'll second what shman said, a lack of talented musicians was definently not the case in any situation at the School of Rock show. PKIC had the wonderful oppourtunity of speaking with Scott Hayward, one of the entertainment employees, many times and got to meet several of the actors. There were a few times in the season when you would even see the actors switch instruments and roles and they always did a fine job. As a musician myself every now and then I would notice little musical slips and mess ups on the guitar but those guys always really impressed by how well they recovered and improvised. School of Rock was one of the best darn shows I've ever seen in an amusement park.

^No, the one this topic is about: The Beast 25 years of terror.

Is it just me or is that song during the end credits the song from Pirates of the Caribean?

I have this thing memorized. Don Helbig....nicest enthusiast and park guest ever to step foot in Paramount's Kings Island!

^It would all depend on how and what they re-opened it as.

And how do you know it was Paramount that changed the name? I think it was just called the carousel room because when we were in there thats all we could think to call it since theres no markings giving different names to the rooms. That one just had the carousel horses in it, so we nicknamed it the carousel room. I dont think theres a paramount exec somewhere taking a leak on a plaque that says "taft suite". Like JZ said, I kid you, because I like you.

Yes, but with a very limited and expensive menu, and I believe the food was catered in by an outside company, not prepared by the park.

^In the Kitchen.

^Thats a misconception, but your not that wrong. Stealth, was originally slated for PKI instead of PGA. Park manager at the time, Tim Fischer rejected the idea and concept in favor of eventually developing the SOB concept to a reality. The Stealth concept then went to PGA and the first flying dutchman was born. Paramount had made agreements with Vekoma to eventually purchase two more flying dutchmen for their other parks. After Stealth had so many problems, paramount broke off the agreemetn with Vekoma and although payed vekoma to develope plans and designs for two more models, decided not to build any more. Six Flags then seized the oppourtunity and purchased the designs and now you have what is known as X flight and Batman KNight Flight. When PP decided to re-locate stealth to build a new waterpark at PGA, the original decision was to move it to PKI. Overburdened with the rising SOB problems, Stealth was rejected a second time by Tim Fischer, and the decision was made to move it to Carowinds.

Oh, you meant KI's Eiffel Tower....there used to be some pictures on guidetotheisland.com and KI used to show a training video to new hires that featured construction video of the eifel tower but I dont remember helicopters in the video. However, the use of a helicopter would nto be unreasonable, I have a VHS video of a helicopter lowering the stop of the Star 64 tower in Cincinati into place.

Bleeeeerrrhhhnnnt! Wrong!

Where has it ever been confirmed that "new trains" were coming? All the press release said was that the changes were being performed to make way for "lighter trains", those lighter trains, could be current ones re-modified so that they are not as heavy. It would take quite a lot of money to purchase completely new trains, and no one wanted to make trains the first time when there was no accident, whos crazy enough to make trains for that ride now after there has been an accident?

Are you kidding me? Sure they hear stuff from time to time and get to know certain people like AZ did and so did myself for doing the same work, but in all honesty the ride ops and supervisors are at the bottom of the food chain and any giant corporate secret awesome decisions are not going to be leaked to general seasonal ride ops.

Yeah just like they adressed those problems at GL? I went to GL this past season in July at the peak of the season on a friday. Not only were half the food stands and nearly all the game booths by x flight closed but it was even hard to find a bath room that was open.

^Exactly. It's no secret that eventhough CF has made many improvements to GL it still isn't pulling in the numbers CF wants and it certainlly never had, nor are they going to pay for, the infrastructure to better maintain rides like x flight which require quite a lot of maintenace attention and experties. I'm not saying that the crews up at GL are incompetent, tney are just spread too thin. PKI, has maintenace staff in their ranks who have come from both PGA and Carowinds and have experience with the same type of coaster. PKI also has a larger maintence staff. Geauga just isnt performing and X flight was hurting them more than helping them.

I would like to see HUSS in business.

Speaking from similar personal experience, that is one of the the worst sounds in the world.

Ahhh good times riding the chaos ride at CP with Uncle Henry..... "who needs maXair when you got this thing?"

You cant beat southern weather during the holiday season. I'd give anything to be in Texas right now....right around Austin.

That DDN video is terrible, but whats to be expected from them? Like Bill said, the master blaster is absolutely fantastic. The water park is so good. ALmost eveyr inch of it always has water on it.

^Dane, Ryan, Bill, and Robbie work extremely hard alongside Maureen and Mike and the rest of the marketing team to make this site the best out there and it shows! Thank you guys for your hard work.

^And to furhter a new reputation I think they should add some tunnels and give it a new name.
