For the past few years Haunt weather has been freakishly perfect. Except one night each year where it rains the entire time.

Yes, and than some.

Kings Island to debut new kid-friendly Halloween attraction

Nov 1 will be one of the busiest days for Halloween Haunt. Land of Illusion goes till Nov 2nd

Going nowhere.

For those who haven't seen it.

Thread backfire!

In the beginning of time there was Guide to the Island, PKIGuide.com(now KIGuide.com) and than PKIUnlimited. Than early PKICentral came up and gained popularity as PKIU was always drama drama drama. Guide to the Island and PKIGuide shut down. PKIC than acquired PKIU and merged the boards. PKICentral came KICentral per Cedar Fair buying the park. I feel like a dork.

When I rode the Adventure Express at Night on KICentral Day I clearly remember A loud Bell and two bright blue flashing Lights. There was a bell in the first tunnel, years ago.

Wait till you get SOBTOM in here. He will write you a novel.

Construction has begun on the gigantic Hay Bale Maze for the all-new family-friendly HOWL-O-FEST event at Kings Island. HOWL-O-FEST opens Saturday, September 27 and is included free with park admission.

The first piece of track on the 230-foot lift hill of the new Diamondback roller coaster at Kings Island was installed today, September 16. The tallest and fastest roller coaster at Kings Island will be 5,282 feet long and reach speeds in excess of 80 mph. The $22 million steel roller coaster opens in April 2009.

Mr. Helbig said that that piece will be the last peice to be installed. And to keep your head up into next week.

Diamondback Construction Update from Sept. 11th in Photo Gallery

They used to not be "lined" scarezones. Speaking specifically about CornStalkers, it used to be ALOT smaller and was ridiculous to walk through, as guests would walk through over and over, stand around, and mess with the scareactors.

I figured I would post this to get a different view of Halloween Haunt. This post is on a Halloween Horror Nights Fansite. It from a woman that lives in Florida and has never been to Kings Islands Halloween Haunt/Fearfest before. Look at how her views are different than some people on here that go every year. http://forum.hhnvault.com/index.php?showto...ost&p=58040

Flight of the Conchords?
