Guess Nemo isn't the only one who finds Interpreters posts obnoxious.

Considering "Captain Nemo" spent 100's upon 100's of dollars renting a plane to get aerial photos of the park for this site, I'd consider that a major contribution. (Firehawk, IJST DB construction)

I think he's being serious Terp. Why "like" it?

It's 2013 and just under four more months until Kings Island opens its gates. For the 3rd year, each day I will try my best to post a "vintage" Kings Island photo from my massive collection of photos I've saved and came across over the years. Most of the photo's I will be posting are not my personal photos and I do not claim them to be mine. If anyone has a problem with a certain photo they wish not to be posted or anything else feel free to "Personal Message" me on KIC rather then posting in the topic. If you have photos of your own you'd like to contribute feel free to "Personal Message" me or simply add to the topic discussion. And try not to quote photo's that are directly above your post, its annoying.

Well said Cody. I first met Jess when we rode up to Cedar Point together, within the first hour we were already singing to Ke$ha in my car. Very outgoing and accepted everyone. She'll be missed. (On the way to Cedar Point a train stopped, thus stopping traffic, so we jumped out and posed for a picture)

It seems as Thunder Alley is being removed now. The 2 tall lamp posts in the center of the track seem to have been removed and equipment is active in the area. (As seen from GWL)
