16 different shows? Sounds like that was a really entertaining time at KI!
-
No, that's not true at all. They'll teach you everything you need to know during training
-
That figures, considering the two parks are only two hours apart.
-
I don't know how that guy can call himself a "researcher". That article is full of stupidity, frequent subject changes and there are those glaring omissions which Terpy pointed out. And NASDAQ trusts that company to provide its clients with reputable information. I guess NASDAQ doesn't take itself seriously anymore.

Maybe CF should send the bill for this situation to Kinzel, since it happened under his watch. -
Interesting quote from that article: Unique to a large urban park perhaps, but definitely not unique to his parks. Another "BB" just 90 minutes down the road also offers free soft drinks, free sunscreen and a "value-based, fun, family experience", albeit on a much smaller scale and sans free WiFi (except at the campground).

Full version of that article, complete with video of the interview with Dan Koch: http://www.wdrb.com/...-for-ky-kingdom

I'm not even sure they could operate one of those today without putting an awning over the entire thing, as the plastic would get so hot in the summer.

I don't think you have to get it processed again if you renew, even if you renew online. I don't remember having to do so last season, but I could be wrong.

Already being discussed here FUN 4Q Conference Call

Stumbled across this on YouTube earlier. Don't know if it's been posted here before, but it's still awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj02zD0dJLs

Contact Broadtexter about that... http://www.broadtexter.com/contact/ Also, FYI, it's "TracFone", not "track phone".

Soak City Construction Continues
Oldiesmann replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
The only thing KI is missing at this point are a few more good rides like The Beach has. Aztec Adventure and Twilight Plunge in particular are quite fun - a water coaster and a dark tube ride. -
This one also reminds me of KI since they started playing it in Flight Deck's queue and station:
-
Given that it's popping up at area Larosa's, I would not be too surprised if it popped up in Festhaus.
-
Back to your original post - yes, you can ride Slingshot by yourself. Just remember to get your ticket early to get the best price.
-
Interesting note in regards to the Coke Freestyle machine. It seems that the Larosas in Newport now has one, as their sign says "Over 120 Coke Flavors!"...
-
Speaking of Men at Work, I'm reminded of KI every time I hear "Down Under", which gets semi-regular airplay on WGRR here in Cincinnati.
-
In regards to what character escorts do, this is something the park can best explain. However, the title is self-explanatory. They're the people who escort costumed characters around the park. I don't know what they do exactly beyond that, but I would assume it would include things such as ensuring the safety of whoever's in the costume and engaging the guests to make the experience more memorable.
-
"Right Now" by Van Halen always reminds me of KI because of its use on Drop Tower.
-
Thanks for the correction. I didn't realize there were any other gyro drop rides, and the bottom section of Drop Tower does sort of look grayish-white from the angle that the photo I posted was taken at. I knew that the DT pieces were already painted when it was being assembled - most rides are that way.
-
They used our Drop Tower. That's a strategically taken shot of the lowest portion of the ride.

Kings Island used to open about a week earlier than it did last year. I'm not sure why it was changed though.

Kings Island Tomb Raider Media day and other old pictures
Oldiesmann replied to Vortex's topic in Kings Island
TR:TR was quite popular, particularly in its early days, when it was still playing off the popularity of the film and the video games, both of which are all but forgotten now. TR:TR was also a much different ride than The Crypt. This video gives you a good idea: -
I'd like to see more shots of defunct rides, particularly those from the early days of KI.
