  1. Well, I say it is very very worth it. The coasters are amazing, people were friendly and the atmosphere could not be beat. It is a beautiful park! I'm sorry to hear that Cameron had a bad trip, but I had a wonderful time.
  2. Indeed, it does. I wasn't aware that the Golf Center had been developed by Taft. I have stayed at the Kings Island Inn, and well, we vowed never to stay there again. Perhaps it is much different now, but at the time it wasn't much. That was when I was maybe 10ish? Not sure. I'm pretty sure I never stayed at the campground, but I know my mom did a lot when she was a kid with her family. She told me about when they visited the park and came back out to find that KI bumper stickers had been placed on all of the cars in the lot. Well, my Papaw found the employee doing so and well, needless to say the sticker was removed. Yes, the employee was only doing what he had been told to do, but my Papaw wasn't thrilled about it. So was there ever minigolf at the campground?
  3. I was just thinking this. While I am perfectly happy with what Kings Island is, it must have been meant to be so much more. I noted the guy talking about the golf courses across the highway and mini golf at the campground as well as nature trails there. Does anyone want to elaborate on those for me? As far as I know, they didn't ever exist.
  4. Well, they got it wrong. Winfield's official colors are green and black. My church rented out the wave pool and slides for a party last year, and it's not a bad community pool. I had never been on the slides before then, and they're fun. Glad to see they are getting some TLC.
  5. Glad you see you had a lovely trip! It is a truly incredible park.
  6. I did as well. I believe it was said more than once, so perhaps it is the name of a wake boarding trick.
  7. I usually do not post that often, but I would just like to say that if Diamondback's splashdown is anything like Sheikra at BGA, it's hardly noticeable, unless riding in the back where you may get lucky and feel some mist. In my opinion, it's more of an aesthetic feature than one for thrills, especially compared to the dive machines where the majority of the rows are hanging over the pool. The rooster tails really are mystifying in perosn though as I could watch Sheikra cycle all day, and that will most likely have to do until this summer You hit the nail right on the head. Diamondback's splashdown has nothing to do with getting wet, it's all about how it looks from the outside. So does that make it safe to judge this book by it's cover since it is about how it looks from the outside? Wow, it's late and I'm tired. I'm sorry for the above post. Ignore me.
  8. I have a feeling those geese won't hang around with the trains splashing past.
  9. Ferris Wheel at CP. No joke, it terrified me because I knew that at any moment I could open the door. I prefer to be strapped into a ride unable to remove the safety devices. That, and ski lifts. Back in December, I went to Snowshoe with my friends who are all avid skiers and I am a beginner. I terrified me every time we got on a lift, and nobody put down the safety bar.
  10. Raging Bull is a great ride. I still stand by that. Now...Iron Wolf on the other hand...
  11. Wait, GAd has is own gas station? Are the prices jacked up?
  12. There is a better gas station/convenience store than Sheetz? I refuse to believe it.
  13. It's good to see they got the opportunity to go...now I can't wait for the pictures.
  14. "Adena Corp of course! I have them do it all for my yard. You can't beat the quality!"
  15. Perhaps they are just fine tuning the transfer system? That, or it's the coolest $22,000,000 toy ever made.
  16. Some pictures I found of the ride online and thought I'd share. http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/th...lden_nugget.htm
  17. Imagine the possibilities. "Hey, Bob. Let's take the train, turn it around backwards and put it back on the track. That will really mess with 'em."
  18. I hope it doesn't turn out to be coo. I like the current management system at KI.
