Am I the only one who instantly recognized her as the voice of Grandma from the two Garfield holiday TV specials?

That's a tough situation though. If you're complaining about park noise that comes from things that have been done since before you moved in, then yes, you should move elsewhere. However, you likely have a valid complaint if the park starts doing things differently to create additional noise (such as, for example, extending the fireworks show to an hour every night). Also, from what others have said, ERT was not rolled back to 9:30 because of noise complaints - it was done so because it was under-utilized - there weren't enough people taking advantage of it for them to warrant keeping ERT going for another 30 minutes in the mornings.

Someone please delete that last post. I'm playing with a new app and didn't know what that did or that it would post automatically. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Forum Fiend v1.1.7.

That's a completely different situation. I believe most networks license the films directly from the studio or distributor. Organizations like KI would go through the MPLC instead.

I also had problems around 2:30am this morning - tried to post something and it never went through, and I was unable to connect to the forum again at that point (I didn't stick around to see how long it was down though).

The park doesn't open until noon on opening day this year, so you'll be pretty bored if you get there at 9. Plans are being discussed here: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/28538-kic-opening-day-meet-up-2014-ideas/

So many great pictures. Here I was thinking we didn't have many clear pictures of it. Thanks for sharing! Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Please capitalize the third and seventh Buffalo, as they refer to the city. I'm glad you know what's going on here. I still have no clue what that's about Edit: Wikipedia sheds some light on the confusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo

They're open on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day as well. I don't see why Easter should be any different.
-
The past several seasons, KI has opened on a Saturday and has been closed the next day for a private party. That is not the case this year.
-
I doubt it. It's likely more just the personal preferences of those running the park.

Who is going to try the new Banshee Ice Cream?

Charlie Brown Coming to the Big Screen
Oldiesmann replied to CoastersRZ's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
The criticism over Snoopy mostly came when the park made the decision to convert the kiddy area from Nick to Snoopy. Kids today didn't know who Snoopy was, they didn't like Snoopy, they loved Nick, etc. Nevermind that most of the shows the rides were themed after hadn't aired in years anyway. The criticism pretty much died down once people realized that the park was going to go to Snoopy regardless of what some outspoken parents said. -
Whither Conneaut Lake Park Now?

If everything they're claiming is true, it's time to fire the trustees or take them to court on the grounds of negligence of duties... -
Explain to me then why YouTube videos taken of Banshee from OFF property testing were asked to be removed from the site? Even though it was created completely legally. Is it illegal to tape the park from off property? Its more than just links and photos. They have been controlling every little thing. You don't see that being done to lets say, TPR? They have events and such all the time. They post stuff like that all the time. I don't see TPR getting hate from parks? Also, when you cited your papers in school. Did you contact every source you used, and asked if you could use it on your paper? I can guarantee that is a no. Have you ever gone over the speed limit in your car by 1 or 2 mph? Oh you broke the law. Ever casually roll through a stop sign? Ohp. That too. HUGE difference between law, and justice. The reason for the photos/videos thing is likely because the park doesn't want people thinking they can just come by the park anytime they want to get photos/videos. Most of us here already know that we're not allowed to take pictures/videos from park property right now, but someone else might not know that. The park has better things to do right now than kick people off property for trespassing, and preventing unofficial images/videos lessens the likelihood that they'll have to deal with that. The paper citation and traffic laws are irrelevant here. The point is, the park has asked us to do something, and there's no reason to complain about it. If you don't like the rules, go elsewhere or don't post things that will be affected by those rules. I cannot explain why other parks don't do this to TPR (or even if they do, as I don't visit that site much). This isn't TPR, and KI isn't other parks. Long story short, the first rule of any fan forum is to never be on the bad side of whatever official entity your site is about. They can and will find ways to shut you down if they don't like how you're representing their image.

This looks interesting. I've never seen a Cirque du Soleil style show, and this is certainly different than anything KI's put on in the past. It's also certain to be more family-friendly than Ed Alonzo was (I liked his shows, but I'm sure not everyone liked the scantily-clad women or poop jokes).

The easiest way to get around this is to either click the "Paste as Plain Text" button (the middle "clipboard" icon), or set the WYSIWYG editor to always paste as plain text by default (click the button at the far right of the top row, check "Paste as plain text by default" and click "OK"). That will prevent any HTML formatting from the source from messing you your post.

Skillet != Skrillex...

As far as tomorrow's announcement goes... Someone on the forum mentioned seeing work near the carousel earlier. This reminded me that KI posted a picture of the organ innards earlier in the off season. I'm thinking they might be announcing the return of the beloved Wurlitzer carousel organ. There was quite a bit of excitement when that picture was posted and most of us have forgotten about it now. It's definitely something that would appeal to all ages, and it would be new for this season. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Correct, same design and reorder them. Or design a cheaper, single color ink shirt. But what if we want a new design with last year's higher-quality style?

Kings Island is getting a marquee sign upgrade
Oldiesmann replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
Where did you hear this? The latest I can find is that they were in the process of looking at the feasibility of the proposed changes and what (if any) alternatives exist. http://www.wceo.us/pages/I%252d71-%252d-Western-Row-Road-Interchange.html Looking forward to seeing sign improvements. I don't see them getting a color one though as it wouldn't really serve any purpose with the sign currently being as big as it is. -
Voted, and not losing now
