I think that the Kings Island preview article in the Pulse Journal was MUCH better.

I'll be there this Saturday pouring drinks as a volunteer. I can't wait to see the park.

Bring back the James Bond video.

Nice picture. I don't miss Paramount.

I got the gold for the free parking. And I don't need to travel to other parks. I'm just a temp.

They are not jackets, more like sweatshirts with vinyl material.

Over the weekend I met a lady, who has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair, at a science fiction fan group meeting. She told me that she loves roller coasters and hasn’t been to Kings Island since it was still with Paramount. This lady asked me what Kings Island’s ride safety policies are for someone with her condition (cerebral palsy and in a wheel chair) so that she would know in advance: Which rides she can and cannot ride. Which rides she can enter through the exit. I was advised to get this information fron guest relations, which I will on Sunday. But does anyone know what the policies are so that I don't have to wait to long? Thanks, IC

Why didn't Congo Falls change back to Amazon Falls? Did anyone see the movie Congo??? I did - twice. Guess what? There wasn't one dang waterfall in the entire movie! Duh!!!

I would love to have a new, improved Phantom Theater. However, those of us who desire it are in the minority. After all, there are few geniuses in the world.

I do look forward to getting the new map on Sunday. Best regards, Charles

Guntown Mountain in Kentucky. The shows will lame and the rides even lamer.

Good Morning, Today is Sunday, 4/13. In one week from today I will be at Kings Island for opening day. I shall counting down the days until then. Aren't the rest of you looking forward? Best regards, Italian Chef

Nice picture. I now look forward to riding the Red racer and the Blue racer. This is an example how an amusement park can take an existing ride, re-theme it for a minimal cost, and present it as an almost new ride. It generates excitement. Kings Island isn't Disney, but theming does matter.

The only reason I suggested removing Oktoberfest was because its German heritage is all but gone. Serving pizza and Chineese food is Festhaus it ridiculous! There should be brats, metts, hot dogs, potato pancakes, saurkrat, pretzels etc. And we ought to hear German music. And other than Viking Fury, nothing looks remotely German anymore. And for those skeptics of you who say that German food doesn't sell, visit Hofbrahaus in Newport. My first choice is to restore the German heritage to Oktoberfest. My second choice is to have it absorbed by other areas because I hate to see a themed area that lacks theming. Best regards, Italian Chef

Sorry folks, but I cannot write about breathing next to an alcoholic because I drink so much wine that I am immune to the smell. As far as star turtles are concerned, I have requested interviews from several and they all snubbed me.

Infosino may seem bias, but he has written 92 articles about various topics for different publications - not including the 25 he has done the past 3 weeks in for temporary staff writer job. Yes, Infosino does love amusement parks and science fiction. But he is a serious journalist. Here are a few articles from Infosino related to neither Kings Island, nor Star Wars, nor other science fiction, nor any other amusement parks: http://www.aakmagazine.com/Articles-i-2008...Age_of_Art.html http://www.aakmagazine.com/1editorialbody....p;-token.subpub http://www.aakmagazine.com/1editorialbody....;-token.subpub= http://www.aakmagazine.com/1editorialbody....p;-token.subpub http://archive.cinweekly.com/blog/2006/11/...ories.asp#links http://www.pulsejournal.com/search/content...familymain.html http://www.pulsejournal.com/search/content...91406loop1.html http://citybeat.com/2005-07-13/onstage.shtml http://www.cincinnati.com/freetime/100104_create.html http://www.cincinnati.com/freetime/102904_create.html

Greetings, In today's Pulse Journal there is an article profiling esteemed Public Relations Area Manager Don Helbig and previewing Kings Island for the 2008 season. http://www.pulsejournal.com/e/content/oh/s...ingsisland.html I hope that you find the article interesting. Have a great weekend! Italian Chef

SOB. That thing hurt and doesn't belong in The Beast family. I think The Beast brought home the wrong baby from the hospital.

I'm sure this will be an issue in the 2008 presidential and congressional elections.

I'm going to ride FoF alone; and Little Bill and Fairly Odd Coaster with my son first. And The Racer.

I surely will return to Coney Island later in the year. I live so close to it.

I have yet to hear of NU's exit from the park.

I have yet to see the commercial.

My son will be disappointed at the Flower Show because he loves Coney Island's rides. Best regards, Italian Chef
