i found out that they have indeed sent out only food and games so far next will be Rides. no word on the yearbook. Chris Ps Rehire is still there i dont know what that one person said but they are in the prosess of sending them.

yah i didnt get my Yearbook. But as soon as i get out of school im going to contact KI to find out the deal on both questions.

Someone told me that when he called about the rehire packets that they said that ALL RETURNERS have been scratched off so the would have to go threw the hire process to get the job back. If they did here are some things that would mess up 1. Sups, Crew leaders exc. 2. Returner’s 3. # of Employees in the park Did anyone else that earned rehire status find this out? if this is true when are they going to tell people? But I also wonder if the only people who earned rehire where the people who finished out the season. But if any of this is true how would u react if you are/were a returner wanting rehire status? Chris

last year CF people took pictures of every paramount logo at Kings Island and i asked them why and they told me there takeing them out at the end of the season

hows this for you Demon drop fans click here

WHAT!?!?!?!? Why would they do that the ride is good but cant they just design a lighter train and that worked with the track? i wonder what it will be like with out it. and what about the logo? the SOB logo has a loop showing. i wonder if this was KI idea or CF's idea.

All i care about is a Nice good thrilling Coaster we need one!!! (think how the busness will do if they were to get one)

in this post you pretend your in charge to place a new maze for fearfest. Where would be a cool place to put a fearfest attraction (it could be under ride stations like Vortex or buildings like the old rock shop) so what would be your place to put a maze.

I’m surprised that no one mentioned that the Maze of Madness (Asylum) exit is now the entrance!!! I think it was a good idea and a bad idea because you’re more interactive because people pop out by the fence and scare you while in line!!! The bad thing is it attracts allot of people and so does Psycho Path, and there next to each other plus the crowd for Flight of Fear. Doesn’t this make it a little crowded? I don’t know it opens to the public tomorrow and ill be working fear fest (Psycho Path)

well im now in the psycho path and im the ScareCrow lol

lol thanks but i had no choice Drew forced me to go home. but after it happened they took a picture of the area where I fell and they were talking about putting something down. so we will see this weekend!!!!

Well I did hit it real hard. and yes i got to ride that cool little ambulance thingy. that floor always gets wet when it rains and it gets wet in the middle from the rain over top the walkway, plus it also gets wet from peoples shoes.

As anyone may have noticed that The Vortex Floor is smooth and slippery when wet. The wood has been there since The Bat days. Saturday I was working at Vortex when i slipped on the Floor I was sent home that day early. But the reason for this topic is should The Vortex floor be replaced or have added grip like Grip tape or something? If you were wondering how I’m feeling I’m doing fine, just a little sore.

i know it is for FoF not sure if it is for SDATHC

Lights are now on to minimize fights that happened alot this year and its for safty reasons

I know but i like that pic Oh and if you want to check out my fearfest website Click here Forum Included

Im just wondering who on PKIC will be in FearFest this year. I will be in this year as a Cr33p3r!!!!! and i was just wondering who else will be doing cr33p3rs or anyother maze

referring to freshly painted green boxes on load and Now Unload

So no employee passes it when the train is moveing or entering the station

WARNING: (lol) Coasters are Getting Boxes on the Floor well paint boxes Coasters i know of that have the lil' boxes are Vortex, and Beast!!!!! The managers said that they were trying it out on The Vortex Crew and now it Spreads to Beast? is there any other Coasters that got the Boxes? I really dont see the use in them I mean we (employees) will not jump over the track when there is a train coming. I asked the area managers why they now putting the boxes in and they have said they dont want us moving when the train is. Couldn't they just tell us that and not waste the paint? Plus it whould save money without the paint.

Can anyone confirm this? From Paramount Carowinds Park News - (7/21/06) A local area reader tells me that the park seems to have installed video cameras on the Top Gun trains and now now selling DVD videos of your ride to guests, similar to the system put into place on the Canadian park’s Top Gun earlier this season. Anyone care to share their video to show off the quality? (7/13/06) Carowinds will be offering a special lunch with the NickToons characters event from August 4th to 6th, from 11:30am to 1:00pm.
