From my understanding, the tolls are designed to help cover the costs of building those bridges, much like they're considering for the Brent Spence Bridge here in Cincy (for those not from the area, BSB carries traffic between Ohio and Kentucky on interstates 71 and 75) Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

Latest update from Jersey Shore Hurricane News... Fire is now 10-alarm and the local police chief has declared a state of emergency for the borough. More pics on their FB page. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4 -
Picture Trip Palooza Weekend 06SEP--08SEP
Oldiesmann replied to thedevariouseffect's topic in Trip Reports
With Madam Fatales, we weren't told to stop taking pictures until we were partway through the actual haunt itself. I just assumed they didn't want us revealing all the hiding places for those who will be going through them (I'm not a fan of haunted stuff so I won't be one of them), but given the amount of people doing the tours, the fact that they just didn't want things getting clogged up makes more sense. -
I'm surprised by the "if you do it, make sure you don't get caught" posts on here. The point is, it's not legal, whether you get caught or not. You should not be doing it or encouraging others to find ways to skirt the law. As enthusiasts I like to think that we should be setting examples for park guests, not purposely ignoring the rules.

What's Up With Snoopy's Starlight Spectacular?
Oldiesmann replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
A parking garage would not work at KI. If anything, it would make parking worse. Imagine the same amount of cars that you see at 10pm on a busy day at KI but compressed into an area less than half the size, with limited exit lanes and several levels of traffic. It would be a nightmare. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4 -
The building was put up around the coaster as I recall. There are construction pics floating around the forum or internet somewhere. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

I don't see the burgers and fries leaving Festhaus anytime soon. The burgers and fries now served in Festhaus were once served in nearby Stunt Crew Grill, which is rarely (if ever) open these days (much like that long-forgotten smoothie stand between I-Street and Rivertown). The park can serve the same food in Festhaus that they served in Stunt Crew Grill with less overhead. -
I can't even find that song do you know where I can? Look for Hugo Montenegro on iTunes. His version is the one that's well-known and I believe that's the same one used on the train as well.

Python is rough and painful. Not really what I'd consider intense.

I loved Trabant as well. Sad to see it go. I am intrigued to see what will be coming. Currently the most intense ride at Coney (at least in my opinion) is the Round-Up. If it gets more nauseating and intense than that, it's going to be a great ride.

I'm wondering how he thinks there could be swampland in southwestern Ohio.

Did you miss the news that Adobe bought Macromedia several years ago? Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

When I rode Flight of Fear last, they were holding loose articles, including bags and souvenir cups. At Firehawk they wouldn't even let me in line with a souvenir cup, yet were allowing guests to help themselves to the employee water. The line was quite short that day, but given the typical Firehawk lines, I cannot imagine why they won't hold souvenir cups on Firehawk. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

I wouldn't expect wiring to start until the track is complete. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

Six Flags: New for 2014

KI considers it a coaster. That's all that matters. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4 -

Here's a better example. Watch the guy in the black shirt (pretty easy to see here though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fn2Xm3YnIA And, for nostalgia, here's a video of the Flying Eagles at KI on the last day it operated. Sadly it's not great quality, but it still gives you a good idea of how you can snap them: Perhaps the best snapping video I could find - this is what happens when a bunch of enthusiasts ride. This is the ride that was at KI in its current form: -
Most of the attractions at Coney are low-capacity anyway (with the exception of the Round-Up and maybe Flying Bobs or Tilt-a-Whirl).

Hate to see classic rides going (especially if it's the one I'm thinking of), but a new ride should be interesting either way. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

Just because they're snappable doesn't mean the park will let you snap them. I've heard of parks where that isn't allowed, though I've only ridden them at KI and Stricker's. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4 -
One thing to keep in mind about the freebies at Holiday World. Beech Bend also has free parking/soft drinks/sunscreen, though I believe they do it because of Holiday World. It would be great marketing for them if HW stopped the freebies, even though HW and BB are much different parks. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4
