Mr. Christopher

I wouldn't worry at all... there are still more things for the landscapers to put out for the season.

There are 8 lights for the Tower's lighting. And yes, they are synced to the nightly fireworks this year. It is indeed something new/different.

The blue thing on top of Zephyr is it's lifting mechanism, connected to the structure. It's normally covered by a fabric of some sort. Exhibit A

Wrong. It is open to the public. Sunday, the 21st is closed for a private event.

I was referring to this year.

If you actually pay attention, you'll notice a practical change in Manor.

So, you can sing better than them?

That part made me laugh.

I always hated working that area. For most of the season, I was right smack in the center by the sound booth. Best spot in the house.

Our 80's show runs Tuesday through Sunday at: 2:30, 4:00, 5:30, and 7:00 (Off on Mondays) Hot Island Rhythms runs Tuesday through Sunday at: 8:00 and 9:00. The Monday schedule for Hot Island Rhythms is 5:30, 7:00, and 8:00.

Actually, I believe it was Dallas Moore's band that played a set before the jump. Johnny Combs played about an hour and a half before the jump. I know this much because we were tearing down Dallas Moore's gear as well as the stage and paused to watch the jump occur.

As far as past rides go, I never got a chance to ride Phantom Theater and Days of Thunder. Currently, I have yet to ride: Firehawk The Crypt (With it's new namesake) Slingshot Skyflier Thunder Alley SOB (Post accident) Avatar We'll see if I get to them this season.

Going off of what Ryan said, a burger at Outback costs around $7.99 for a No Rules (Anyway you like it) with a side, at least for my market OB. For an individual, this is pretty reasonable to me, however it would depend on the size of the burger itself. Not to mention, we're talking about a sit-down restaurant with service.

Seeing that they already have the positions to place lighting and effects, it seems it wouldn't be too hard. You've got the catwalk that lit the ice field and the Durga wall, as well as 4 side pipes that lit the rest of the wall and the lava pit. I just wish they'd revive the Technoray's for the Durga eyes. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with Tomb Raider licensing.

Maybe it's a new design.

Original: 40 Topspin 2 (Smaller footprint): 28 Suspended Topspin (Floorless, double sided): 38 Giant: 56 (New specs)

I've worked at a restaurant that's from "down under" and I can say that so far, I have not seen anything to make my skin crawl. However, talking about this reminds me of the movie "Waiting"...

1. License to Thrill 2. Forbidden Magic (Too bad Zigmont retired as a performer) 3. TRTR as it first opened (Blew me away for my first ride. However, I have yet to experience The Crypt) 4. King Cobra 5. The Back Porch

I'm no expert, but from my brief experience, a ride stop at certain points during the ride (this was with the previous program) would allow the gondola to swing free, until it would lose momentum, then the arms would bring it back to home position. An e-stop cuts all power to the ride, allowing everything to swing freely until it would lose momentum. And it's my understanding that anytime a ride or e-stop is pressed, the show cuts out. I've heard those noises countless times. Nothing that would make me worried.

At Scooby, where there's.. g-g-g-ghosts!

Simple plan with Straylight Run & Plain White T's: October 30th, 2005. Pretty sweet visually, but the mix for SP was terrible.

Three are new, two are returning.

The videos worked fine for me and I'm using Firefox. It might take a bit to load the overview though.

You need more cowbell in that slide-show.

I happened to stumble across a gentleman's recordings of his days as a trumpet player for the "Hot Hit's" show at Kings Island which looks to be during the time of KECO. The video is broken into three parts. There's also one of a cast performing to the Huey Lewis & The News hit "The Heart of Rock 'n Roll" after a number from the incredibly talented band. Check 'em out. Hot Hit's
