Rhetoric involves using writing to influence an audience, not letting the audience dictate your writing for you.

Bizarre, but go off, I guess. I can't imagine basing my posts around what random people think on an amusement park message board. I like to think for myself, but you do you.

Do you think every storyteller cares about the opinions of every audience member? I've told many stories in many different forms of media, and never once did I care what anyone who read it thought about it. I wrote it for myself, for whatever reason. This particular story, I wrote to tell a humorous tale of an event that happened to me. Some people will like it. Some people will not like it. Do you make every single post concerned with what anyone else will think of it? You keep the audience in your mind the entire time you type every word?

It might not be a flex, but it is funny. That's the point of the story. Some stories are written to be a funny story.

Yeah, I truly do not give a ****. Sorry, mate. Try someone else.

I have lots of stories involving my alcoholism in my younger days. This one just happens to be funny. Oh well.

Yep. That's pretty much what I remember. I thought I was just telling a funny story of my nonsense. I didn't recognize that it would trigger so many of these geeks.

You absolutely have not outdrank me. That is an absolute fact.

Ahhh, the virgins have shown up. Sorry no one ever invited you to party.

I don't think it was actually a jail. I think it was just the police room or whatever. They just didn't think we could safely be in the park any longer and had to stay in that room until our friends showed up. We had apparently caused a scene in line for I believe the Terror Trail or something? And we saw the lights flashing blue and red when we got out of the house. We knew it was for us. They stopped me and my friend, and asked us if we had been drinking and how much. I stated, "Only whatever we have been served here tonight! That's all!" Trying to insinuate we had been overserved by the park and we weren't to blame for our actions. Right as I said that, my friend had a fifth of E&J brandy fall out of his jacket pocket onto the ground. The funniest possible timing anything has ever happened. We had seen a specific cop earlier in the evening, and he told us we were going to end up in some sort of trouble then. He was the one that took us up to the front, and laughed about it all the way. When we got up there, they told us we need to call up our friends to get us at the entrance as we couldn't safely be in the park anymore. Both our phones were dead, so they gave us chargers, and we called them up as soon as our phones were turned on. The same officer took us back up to the front, and I asked him if I could run into a gift shop to buy a Haunt shirt. He said that was fine, our friends showed up, and he bid us farewell. One of the best Haunt nights ever, but also surprisingly, not the drunkest Haunt night I have had.

Have you ever been to the Kings Island jail? Raise your hand! 🙋‍♂️ Surprisingly, I barely remember it at all!

Anyone ever done that booze gimmick? $45 for drinks all night sounds insane for a place that charges nearly $20 for one drink. Is it the whole night the park is open? Just a specific amount of time? Details don't really say. Far more interesting to me than the buffet gimmick.

Yuck.

Still the best ride in the park, including night ride. Absolutely nothing like hitting that in the fog on a dark Haunt night. Just out of control insanity.

Lmao. Winterfest above Smoky Mountain Christmas is so funny.

Also, because its nowhere near as good as many of the other Christmas events.

If they keep adding a house each year as good as Order of the Dragon, the event will be better overall every year. Fingers crossed!

Who cares if AI slop is taking over? The goal should be to reverse that trend and use less of it. Its damaging to the environment and to artists alike. The only good of AI is it allows creators to avoid paying actual artists and performers. Its slop and should be shunned, as opposed to just giving in and accepting.

I’m 45. I don’t give a **** about Bruce Springsteen. My wife is 45 and she doesn’t give a **** about Bruce Springsteen. My friends are in their 40s and don’t give a **** about Bruce Springsteen. I would be shocked if my kids in their 20s had even heard of Bruce Springsteen. He was popular amongst teenagers in the 80s, who are all now well into their 60s. He had no true draw amongst people under that age. He’s basically an utter nobody to my kids.

Why would they retheme a coaster to something no one under 65 cares about? That doesn’t make much sense at all.

The exact same thing happened to us on Killmart/Dragon, too. And then it was more annoying because the lady didn’t say anymore to people on Killmart doing it after us

So, the Conjuring ruled so much, BUUUUUUUT Order of the Dragon MIGHT be better. It gave off huge HHN original haunt vibes. Just beyond the usual KI stuff. ill gladly pay extra for next level haunts like those two. Just tremendous.

Lol

Oh wow. So people can't purchase stuff online, they have to do it at the park the day of? That's preposterous, given how many people actually bought their season pass business. Egads. Has the company done anything right this year? Good lord.

Cups are needed to drink water. Paper maps aren't needed to navigate the paper. Its not comparable.
