I have an old pic of me on AE thats in black and white. Good memories. I also have my siters black and whitepics on The Beastie and the first year of color photos of them on taxi jam.

^Why arent there likely to be any coaster installs at geagua lake? Attendance? Room? Conpiracy? Deceit? Murder?

Come on now interperter, scotish slang and famous tv animals cant be rollercoasters, geeze.

Klockster, according to this guy, anything can qualify a rollercoaster, so do I get credit for using a tred mill or each time a drive a differnt car?

By following the deifiniton of what a "roller coaster" is, you will find that avatar is in fact not a coaster but a powered flat ride. If you consider it a coaster by your own definition I assume you follow your own self published dictionary. That is why you work in games, not the rides department.

^While you slowly swoop over the lava pit.

^Thanks for the info Shaggy, that cleared up a lot. I've been to timberwolf only a handful of times and I never really enjoyed it. I got drug a long with my little sisters to see Aaron carter on one of their birthdays when he came and even though hes not the most talented individual, it sounded pretty bad. The rides didnt interfeer too much, but there was constant popping and static from the sound ssytem and many times there would be long periods of buzzing coming from the speakers. I remember that the seating there is awful and barely rasied. Fights kept breaking out cause kids would stand on the seats and the other kids parents behind them would complain to the standing kids parents. I dont think I've ever seen adults act any more imature that night then I ever have at Kings Island. I saw Modest Mouse there too a few years back and while this time the sound was great, the view and seating were bad, the lights sucked, and the constant roar of SOB and Drop Zone drowned out the band talking in between songs. I remember the madness that ensued when Britney Spears played, I was just visitng the park with famiyl that day and Action Zone was packed with people just waiting to be admitted into the Timberwolf. I'd much rather see almost any band at Riverben than at Timberwolf and depending on how big of a crowd they draw nothings beats Bogarts. My band has played at both Bogarts and Topcats and I could see it being much mroe fun there than at Timberwolf where its hard to interact with the fans.

A new shir tthat they hav ethis year is my favorite.......its has a bright yellow star in the middle of a red shirt and features mock russian lettering that says PARAMOUNTS Kings Island AMUSEMENT PARK with olive branches around it and looks like an old communist symbol. Join the Kings Island communist party today.

^assuming he's right abut it being open, he wasnt specific on what he saw or if he rode etc...

^Shredded part of the launch? As in the launch track, or what?

Actually Dr. Jones, theres a few, you have that one across fromt herestrooms on the virge of rivertown, then theres another one across from reptar and plankton, one on the way in across form scooby, one back in south pie near where the ghoster coaster used to be, and one by the krusty crab.

Maybe they will make them effective and efficent for both the employees and the guests or atleast well inform the guests on how they properly work since Paramount couldnt seem to grasp that concept at all last year. Disney has electronic efficent systems with directions clearly defined, while PKI didnt provide any paperwork for the first batch of gold pass holders. To get their time tickets, which they were usualyl annoyed when they found out that they had to get a ticket, they had to go to the booth under the eifel tower. Disney has the ticket dispensers right at the ride. Many times gold pass holders assume their gold passes automatically allow them to cut line and just hop on over into the speed lane (which is usually paralell to the regular lane) and assume they can use their gold passes to cut which is nto the case. Yes, there is some ignorance on the guests part but that for the most part can be avaoided by a REAL and EFFICENT speed pass system, but seeing how Paramount has alreayd cut back everything this year I doubt we'll see that. I pray Cedar Fair does a better job at this.

^So have you grown up or are you still an idiot? I see your still the later.

Nice picture Brad! As he said, I contributed 5 pictures to the Jones Soda Landmark contest, 2 of which included PKI. One was ana amzing picture of Delerium crossing over the eifel tower and it remained int he top spot for about 2 months straight. However Jones never announced a winner for the contest and still hasnt to date. Its been 6 months. They give very little info about it and contacting them is nearly impossible. Today I finnaly saw they announced some winners that were going on bottles, land mark photos werent in the mix. Apparently, you have to take a picture of half your friends face or of a babys face close up in black and white with a camera phone for it to get on a label. Wheres the justice? The contests they have are jokes and the winners are kids who jsut flicked a picture at random and kept voting themselves a 10, cause Jones' website doesnt care if the sam ip votes once each hour.

How did this happen?

^I like how that nunber gets bigger and bigger every time someone says it..........first it was 2007, then 2009, than it was CONFIRMED 2008, now its 2012. Anyone got any real proof as to when the license really does end?

What do you think the Disney trains run on? They do burn diesel but thats used to heat a steam boiler. Its not even the only one in Ohio the Cedar Point trains runs on steam as well. Pretty sure the Knott's train is steam. There is an interesting story behind the Cedar Point railroad. In the 1950s Cedar Point was going to be closed and turned into a housing development. The owner took a trip to Disneyland and decided that instead he was going to update the park and one of the rides he wanted was a steam train based off of what he saw at Disney. The board of directors did not want to spend the money so he paid for it himself and he leased the land from the park. The train went on to become the most popular ride in the park. Kings Island is the only Paramount Park to operate steam trains I belive.

A 3day visit, you'll most liekly get to ride it alteast a few times, and oh what a ride it is.

Go throught Post II then and save yourself some time

They should convert the theming into a cracker barrel that you can ride the train to.

^In the original post he said he wanted to organize volunteers to go paint and stain the scenery. Its a noble goal TG1993, but theres better things to donate your time to.

As Kenabn said, PKI still has volunteer workers come in to raise money for an organization but they dont do maintenance or repair work.

The Dayton Daily News is one of the WORST newspapers, or should I say rags, that I've ever read. The onyl food thing about that paper is the building theyre in cause its a nice piece of architecture. They are contantly getting facts and dates wrong, and their articles are poorly written. Even the Journal News in Hamilton is better than the Dayton Daily News. Boddah, Zoso, and Itlaianchef also agree about the dayton daiyl news.

^Hey wooferbear, whats left of the top gunt heming can I have? I love that movie.

They probbably shouldnt call it Nick Or Treat anymore.
