    They added the ability to renew them online recently, but it's still not that straightforward. Go to http://www.visitking...m/season-passes Click on the "Season Pass - Platinum" Tab Click "Buy Now" Click "Buy Now" for the adult platinum pass Click "Next" Choose your preferred payment option and click "Next" Choose the "Renew a 2011 Season Pass for this passholder" option Enter the info and follow the prompts from there.

    That's the shed at Peanuts 500 (or "kid pike" as we called it when I worked there). I believe that window is still there.

    There wasn't anything else between Beastie and Fairly Odd Coaster. In 2005, it was Beastie. In 2006, it became Fairly Odd Coaster.

    I remember that HB movie. That was one of the last times there was anything showing on that side of the theater.

    It is the water tower there by the station. My sister and I had the pleasure of experiencing this once last season.

    Tylersville Road is a few miles west of KI, but quite easy to get to - just head south on KI Drive, hang a right on Western Row Road and keep going west. I'm not sure when the Jack in the Box is supposed to open. When the news first came out a couple months ago, they were saying that it would probably open sometime in the summer. I'm sure we'll hear more about it as they get closer to opening since it's the first one in this state.

    I would imagine that people weren't as trigger-happy with the "you didn't protect me from my own stupidity" lawsuits back then either.

    This is still getting quite interesting. WOLF once again decided to accept KSL's offer, according to the WSJ/Dow Jones Newswires: http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20120419-710878.html They can't go much higher without offering more per share than what it's currently trading at (though I imagine investors would be willing to pay even more given the current trend and how much this bidding war has affected current prices).

    Lots of new food places opening in that area - the first Jack in the Box in Ohio, Panda Express and now the owner of Mellow Mushroom Pizza in Wilder, KY has announced that they're planning a second area location in West Chester.

    And the fun continues. Stock is currently trading at $7.45

    How I wish the train ride could be that way today! Looking forward to the rest of the article!

    The King's Island "dining plan" tickets are simply tickets to Backyard BBQ. Not really the same thing or even new/different. Not what he's referring to. If you look under the "Daily Tickets" tab, you'll see the dining plan tickets. Interesting. I didn't see that at all. I wonder if the park differentiates at all between a "meal" and a "snack".

    It's the same as posting a pic from a Windows or Linux computer - upload it to a photo-hosting site (photobucket, imageshack, etc.), then copy the bbcode from said site and paste it here.

    I love the bit about Kings Island being "one of the oldest amusement parks in the country". Maybe on a very long list...

    Technically The Beast has two lift hills, and the part after the second lift hill that goes into the helix would also be considered a hill by many.

    Unless you happened to be a single rider on Diamondback...

    It says "free to all guests", not "free with admission to DA", so I would assume you don't need a DA ticket to go there.

    [Frank Oz voice:] "There is no try. Do. Or do not. Roller coaster riding leads to pleasure; pleasure leads to thrill; thrill leads to funnnnnn!" EDIT: Oh, darn, there's no 'Yoda' emoticon. Look hard enough and you'll find one

    Unfortunately it seems not everyone is capable of using all the resources at their disposal. You'd be amazed how many people can find their way to the Newport Aquarium yet are incapable of researching the operating hours of the place...

    Now you have to wonder why the new bid is suddenly superior to Apollo. Is the CEO finally realizing that she has to please investors, or does she stand to get a bigger "bonus" from KSL? Hopefully others will learn from this and the FUN deal when considering to be bought by Apollo.

    EXtreme Skyflyer (or whatever it's called) at KI. Ghoster Coaster would be a close second.

    Stricker's is a lot of fun. They only have a dozen or so rides, but it's still a blast. The two coasters are tons of fun (great airtime, no trim breaks and buzz bars), the food is wonderful (and a great value) and it's generally a great atmosphere. The park is in a semi-rural location, so that makes it even better.

    Everytime I see the lines for that thing (It still amazes me how slowly the line moves) I thank God that my 3 year old son would rather ride Boo Blaster, The Beastie (or whatever its called today), Viking Fury, or basically anything he's tall enough to get on than that thing. The capacity on that thing is horrible. I think we were doing good to get 300 people through in an hour.

    It's obvious that was done by Bloomberg - Six Flags wouldn't embarrass themselves by showing their logo against a ride from a competitor's park with a crudely designed computerized train on it.
