Is Cedar Fair is the new owner of Paramount Parks?
^Kong Fu Guy, your caps lock button is on, and no Kings Island is an amusement park with a handfull of themed rides. It is a themed amusent park and that title is up to debate as to what the future owners decide to do wtih the park. Kings Island under paramounts ownership has put in non-themed rides..........the biggest example........Delerium.

Brand New NU construction!
Do you work in the construction department or with one of the companies building NU or do you supervise it..........oh wait......dont you work in a games booth. Sorry to be a jerk but no one on here knows if it will be done and no one here has a worthy opinion on if they think it will be dones just because they viewed a ferw pictures or were actually at the site for a bit, simply because they dont have full knowledge of whats being done. The best thing to do is wait for opening day.

Park Vandalism?
One of my best memories of working there was when I was sweeping the line and caught two girls writing on Beast's had rails with silver sharpie I stood behind them as they laughed and when they turned aroudn they jumped and I laughed and directed them to the kidd corrall. Good times. They begged not to call security and I loved the look on their faces when two guards showed up.

^are you kidding me? IJ is much faster than the tiques.

How Busy are they?
I worked on the 4th last year and the park was actually very crowded, the same goes for the other nights of fire days. With the night of fire celebration going on there is usually quite a big crowd but theres a lot more to see and do, if you dont mind the crowds and the waits then it will be a blast and the patriotic tributes and fireworks shows are spectacular.

What other parks? Like carowinds and Canada's wonderland, care to comment on how much gas was in those areas and what other transportation is offered to the parks as well as airfare, location, loding, and availability of those things. Im not arguing that gas caused attendance drops but what I am arguing is that IJ is what kept folks from coming, thats a pretty bold statement to make just because some disgruntled rude guy on a message board doesnt like the ride. What I'm arguing is that there are more facotrs to an attendance drop then just the attraction added like AZkindaguy and all the IJ haters seem to think and I dont even care for the ride. Whos to say when King Cobra was added, a ride a lot of you like to praise and whine about its removal, that attendance dropped and if you say it didint, lets see some definitive proof. You people boggle me, you whine and complain that IJ doesnt go 80 mph and isnt 300 ft. tall, its not meant for you "thrillseekers" of sorts, its meant as a ride the whole family can enjoy. But I'll jet jzarley point out the business standpoint.

IJST
^I didnt say they did, I'm just saying that what affects their decision is the people coming through the ticket booths. So if IJ was the cause of an attendance drop then theyd learn from that. However, thats a pretty bold statement for you to say IJ caused the attendance drop, your not taking itno account other factors such as gas and rising travel costs. Even CP took a hit last year.

Its too bad that those making the decisions dont value the opinions of a rides supervisor but only care who comes through the ticket stalls........its all in the marketing in cash and driven by profit......welcome to America.
-
Concept Art?
^Concept art in amusement parks seems to ALWAYS look better or too unrealistsc then the actual finished product. Although I hate to knock Kings Island.....theirs is always a little dissapointing.......the F-14 on top of Top Gun.......the forklift on IJ....etc

How much do you miss it?
Im not denying the shortcomings I'm just saying all these people who still complain about the ealges and the tiques need to suck it up and realize that its past decision and probably wont be coming back. They should embrace what they have and if theyre truly mad at someone blame the right people.

How much do you miss it?
Yay another topic to whine and complain about how much we all hate Paramount and CBS and how the eagles arent coming back nor the tiques nor phantom theatre etc etc etc
