I have to ask about the last part, does the charger, charge like the iphone case it slips on the back and charges it that way, or what? Most of them just connect to the device via a standard USB cable. If you're curious, search Amazon for "portable USB charger".

I can tell you from experience that leaving your stuff laying around the park is not a good idea. Towels, sandals, shirts, etc. usually aren't bothered, but more valuable things are. I left my clothes in a backpack behind a random tree with my sandals and towel last year and the backpack vanished - containing my clothes, glasses, wallet, keys and cell phone. Fortunately for me the backpack turned up at Lost and Found the next day, and I only lost what little cash I had in my wallet, but that was not a fun time for me. From now on I will either leave the valuable stuff locked in the car (and out of site of course) or in a locker (though from the sound of things it will not be a locker in BB - it will either be one of the $2-an-hour ones by FoF or the ones by WWC (not sure if those are also $2-an-hour or not)).

Not available yet in Google Play Store (I still think "Android Market" sounded better...). I still have the old app on my phone, but didn't use it much last year in the interest of conserving battery life on my phone (I check-in to every ride on Foursquare and use a notepad app to keep track of what I ride). I am planning to buy a portable cell phone charger soon so I'll probably use it more this year.

It appears that most sand volleyball leagues in the area cost around $50 per person, so I'm guessing that's why they priced it at $45 per person.

I'm sure there are plenty of "top roller coasters" lists around the net, but it's always fun to discuss them either way... http://www.huffingto..._n_1522503.html My thoughts:

I've actually been twice, but it didn't count my visit from opening day, so here's where I'm at: Total visits: 1 Level: One Star Rewards available: two Free Drink Wristband certificates I spent about $12.98 at the park when I was there on Wednesday (one burrito and a $5 Sling Shot certificate) I'll check again after my next visit (probably this Wednesday, depending on the weather) and see if it gives me any additional rewards. I would assume the Sling Shot ticket counts towards Fun Perks rewards, as the ride op asked me if I had Fun Perks before he scanned my pass.

I sincerely doubt we'll see all the volleyball courts occupied at all times every weekend from June 16th to August 19th. There are literally dozens (if not hundreds) of sand volleyball courts in the Cincinnati area, so there are plenty of options available for those interested in the sport who want to play in a league. I imagine the park is trying to keep things flexible for those who are interested,

I think the best option for KI at this point would be to go ahead and order the necessary parts. That way they'll have them on hand (or at least on the way) when the parts do eventually go out.

Simple. Ask guests for their ZIP Codes when they purchase parking/admission.

Nope, not this year. Not really surprising though since the water park is no longer Australian-themed. I'm not sure if that's still part of the soundtrack this year, but since there wasn't a stop at the water park, there may be another song in there that we didn't hear this time.

The train soundtrack has changed this year. Here are the songs that they played when I rode it earlier: "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" by Hugo Montenegro "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys "Wild Wild West" by Will Smith "Theme From Bonanza"

Today was definitely a 1/5. Pretty much a "perfect" day at KI. We zipped through Action Zone in less than 2 hours, riding everything except for Skyflyer, Congo Falls and the race cars.

Here's a front seat POV of the original ride, with loop... And, for comparison, a POV of the ride after the loop was removed

I saved the PDF to the desktop on my laptop so I could print it off later when I wanted to use it. You may have to contact them to get another one if you didn't print it off right away.

One also has to wonder if the Coney Island of 1971 could have survived the 1997 flood, when the river crested at 64.7 feet - nearly 13 feet above flood stage (and, by comparison, almost 27 feet above its current level).

Now it's just showing the default IIS (Internet Information Services - Microsoft's web server application) page. The focusmark link worked fine for me, and I've claimed my free drink wristband certificate, which I will probably save for those hot summer days.

The first drop and the loop were my favorite parts. In its original form, SOB was a must-ride for me on every visit to the park. After the loop-ectomy and the replacement of the trains, I rode it exactly once (ironically just a few months before it closed), and didn't like the experience nearly as much, mainly due to the way the trains shuffled on the track.

Interesting that the CEO is now saying that she "hopes to stay on with the company". I wonder what happened to that big bonus she was supposed to get if they fired her? Will be quite interesting to see where things go from here. Hopefully this works out well.

There's also one in the rides/maintenance shop behind Surf Dog.

According to this video, it's WE-mit.

You two have too much time on your hands...

It's about the same size as what you'd get at Penn Station. Not as good, but still well worth the price in my opinion.

On opening day it was well-enforced - you had to show your FP wristbands in order to get into the line after you'd walked through the queue. I even saw two people walking back out of the FP queue at DB, saying something about the single rider line (apparently they can't read).
