I have that same question I think. But I think I saw it last time I rode but maybe I'm just crazy and dazed frm the light or something like that. But maybe I didn't see it and I'm just putting the thought in my head. Not sure, but I do know it was gone for awhile, so where was it?

See but now thanks to you, people can find it all in one spot..

Who said I was whining? I can give you whining if you want. And your right, peopledo whant it all put together ad not in a million different places. You send me 3 different links to 3 different places, when I put the question all under one roof. Maybe I was just saving everyones time so they can just come here and read it all together..

if ki is like pki then isnt Kings Island like Paramounts Kings Island? jw

haha darn I thought you loved the many reposts. my bad.. jeez haha. you don't seem to be doing much else with your time on these boards might as well put some new input in but hey.. haha. and no thats not a personal attack or anything, I'm just saying in general whose it hurting? There's what 2 pages in this forum, compared to the 5 in regular pki?

Your all going to disagree with me and thats fight this is about opinions. You guys talk about themes and stuff... but for what? It's a 2 minute ride way waist the time of putting something to that? If you want themes, look at the holidays. You want a scay theme? Go to a haunted house. If you want a christmas/joy theme go to the beach, if you want a story go read a book. When I go to a park, I want to be high, I want to go fast, I want new and interesting track designs, I want to go upside down, overall I want excitement. The older people and the younger usually like the slow themed rides because they can't handle the big ones. Tough luck ok? Don't spoil it for the rest of us, CP deserves best park award, they have excitement, they have joy, they have wet-rides, they have a kid-park. I'm not saying all old people can't handle the rides, I'm speaking from personal experience. My parents don't do the rides that go upside down because they get sick. People my parents work with don't go to ki b/c they hurt there backs on the rides really easy. And yes I know some people between the ages of 12-50 like themed stuff too I'm not saying they don't.. well you get my point I'm one ranting. And hey thats me for you, I deal with it so I'm sure you can too haha.

What do you think it will be renamed to? When will the site URL change? It is still www.pki.com. Any ideas?

The line would be like 3 hours long haha.. no joke.

LMAO! I KNEW IT! I swear I knew it haha.

I like that name! haha jp jp

Sorry about winterfest, are you and your family still going to stay there?

Well honestly when I was on it for my first like 2 years I cried every single time haha. I was a baby, but then I got use to it, learned to love it, and now I travel all across the state for haunted houses haha.

I don't know you, but I'm assuming you keep going back to fearfest right? Because you were upset(maybe I'm using the word to strongly.. is "moved" better?) that hauntguy mentioned some similar traits to HHN that need to be fixed to pki.. but what does pki have original? honestly? Every haunt there I can think of another haunted house in the local area that is the same thing, but is much better. Fearfest only came out in 2001.. err 2002? Not really sure. Curse of the Crypt was original but they got rid of that. Headless hollow is original in its own right, but the theme is overkill theres other haunts in the area with Sleepy Hollow who do a much more frightening job.(Sharonwoods which is for kids was a more frightening attraction then Headless Hollow) Like Headless Hollw the actors keep screaming "oh beware of the headless horseman" which gets extremely old after like the third actor, and then a huge let-down in climax when the headless horseman is just sitting there.. Now Massacre Manor uses the idea, but uses it in a creative way, heads hanging around, people w/ the disease, a pumpkin head-ed man, a headless man, etc.. Psycho Path is obviously nothing new, but its pretty hard to do something new outside or even to do that good in that short of a path. I think they are orignal on alot of spots, so kudos for them. Maze of Madness.. I'm really not to sure what to say. It's orignal.. but then it's not. It's original because of how long it focuses on that one subject, and how large the maze is, on the other hand alot of haunts have shorter versions(but most the time aren't nearly as intense as the Maze) so it has its good and bads. Once again, kudos. Circus of Horrors 3-D. It was really scary either 3.. or 4 years ago? Maybe both? I remeber one time I went I hadn't been that scared in a clownhouse in my entire life, they brought coulrophobia into me I freaked out about clowns after that. It was honestly the first haunt that made me fear something.. with a passion. I was forced to go into it the year after(literally dragged by all of my friends) but after the clowns started joking wit us I was like this is flat out horrible. Now I just think clowns suck. Why are they making it into a fun..nyhouse instad of a horrifying clownhouse? Is it for the little kids? I remember hearing parents claim i was ay to scary all those years back, but to change it to satisfy the parents honestly is wrong. If the parents failed to read the name "Circus of Horrors 3D" or to read the brochure that says this is not for children, or to read the sign out front, is the parents fault for being ignorant, not the parks. Now if they changed it for other reasons, then I apologize, butt the way I see it, that is what happened. There are alot of clown haunted houses in the area, if your interested, I can send you a list in the Greater Cincinnati area.. I'll include Dayton too because they have a pretty cool clown house in 3D. There's really not else to comment on... just don't call them original, please haha. Again this is my opinion, I don't represent anybody so if you disagree thats your buisness and feel free to try and tear it apart, but my opinion still goes.

Yeah when I go on fridays the longest wait I ever have is like 10 minutes when 2 summers ago it was like an hour and 10 minutes so I don't know what that means but in my book it means attendence dropped alot this year.

Again hauntguy, good ideas you honestly should apply to be a manager for fearfest if you had the time. My all-time favorite idea would be to get rid of the family-oriented horror as hauntguy said. FEARfest.. why take away the fear? Yes, they spun a name on it to funfest, but the park is still advertised as fearfest, so stick with it. Let the other parks focus on having kid events, the beach is, pumpkin patch is, etc.. I also think they should open the haunts back up at 3pm. I know some of the actors hated that.. well no offense but its a job, if you have passion for it you'll love the extra hours(etc.. you get my point) it was better in those days. It was scarier, the lines were shorter at night, it made fearfest a whole day event. I miss those days haha.

Thats all I've been thinking about so far haha

I can't find any info on the pirate haunt yet, I'm slow at finding things haha but I found a few pictures of the 2002 pirates.. http://www.graphicaddiction.com/Scully/Images/ff17.jpg http://www.graphicaddiction.com/Scully/Images/ff39.JPG found an article on it! http://www.cincinnati.com/halloween/vr_pkifearjack.html

I wish I had pictures, I'll try to find them for you. I'll post again if I find them, I know some people have them on here.

I really enjoyed haunt-guys idea for a house of jigsaw haunted house. Also his idea(i think it was his) to Picnic Grove which is a very large area and good for a haunted house. I'm not to creative myself but I think we need to get rid of Headless Hollow. It's a good idea, but failed at making it well. Someone mentioned that fairly large area under top gun. It's a good idea except for the fact patrons must ride the ride so that won't work. I think they should build something under that tower in Action Zone because that a huge space with nothing there. You know those barns around maze of madness and pscho path?I think they need to clear one out and make an alien abduction barn of terror.. or something like that. Some of the other fearfests have an Alien Crypt 3D.. Idk we don't have anything alien related in the area, I've never been in an alien haunt. We have haunts in the area just for clowns(terror park has a clown haunt before you enter the real haunt, theres "Clown house 3D" in dayton.. or somewhere around there. Theres "Killer Klowns" at Middletowns Land of Illusion(which was avery intense haunt, if I may add). We already have a headless horseman haunt.. in sharon woods or however its spelled.. yes a kiddy haunt but still it was just as scary as Headless Hollow. Psycho path we already got alot of trails in the area oviously, etc.. you get my point. PKI needs something original again like they were a few years ago. MoM is fairly original, but the freezer was even more original. The sewer up in the tower was original. The pirate haunt or w/e it was called was original, etc.. Thats just my opinion, whoever said it counts? haha

What makes the difference between 15 and 16. 16 year olds can drive, which in reality is more dangerous than a 15 year old being able to work past 7 pm.. isnt it? haha. A 15 year old either carpools or has mom and dad drive when a 16 year old can drive by themself.. hopefully yo understand where I'm going with that. haha oh well rules are rules. i have to wait another year then.

I wish they would change it to 15. they did 15 before didnt they? one year?

Slingshot goes by so fast you don't feel it in your stomach at all.. I was honestly extremely dissapointed. On my extreme scale I give it a 3/10. Skyflyer is amazing especially if you pull the ripcord. On my extreme scale I give it a 7/10. Especially the fact you feel to safe on Slingshot, your in a ball, sitting down. On slingshot your sitting in a vest held by strings, plus your laying down... so thats just me I guess. I got my moneys worth on both though, but I find skyflyer much more enjoyable.

"Your looking into this as if Kings Island has commited a criminal act. The media has made this a lot worse than it actually needs to be, and is ultimately the ones to blame for the negative responses. " With all do respect, people WERE hurt. It doesn't matter if the media portrayed it wrong or anything like that, what does matter is people were hurt, and that isnt okay when the ride has gone through many problems before. Last summer they had to close it for roughly a month to fix the track. The fact that they closed it down before, and people are still getting hurt, especially that accident, then some one needs to take action on the subject, I'm not saying its failure to take action, but failure to do what needs to be done. If you want to ask me what I think should be done all I can say is I'm not in charge and theres a reason, I don't know what to do in this type of situation, regarding money, media-portayal, etc.. But what should be done right now is the ride needs to be secured and watched more closely, which is exactly what they're doing, so I think we all need to let it rest until we find out what really happened, and what pki plans to do about it.

Wow that was awesome haha. kudos. If pki used that I would be extremely excited, that is creepy. The only thing you should do--if you dont mind* is make another one, and say the point of the game is to keep your sanity.. that is if they keep the maze of madness name. if they change it to house of jigsaw, then keep what you got because that really is awesome.

Withall do respect they need to get rid of SOB. I like the ride, I find it fun, its a good addition to the park.. almost. Alot of people get hurt on it, only serious injuries every once in awhile, but still more than any other coaster in the park. It's a fun ride but don't risk peoples safety just so people can have fun. thats just my opinion though.
