Here's a few ideas: -Put a Ferris Wheel in the location now occupied by the Action Theatre. The place has seen better days, and Kings Island doesn't have a Ferris Wheel. How is this? - Get our old/a new set of Flyers for the old Flight Commander spot. I know how much we all enjoy the DA Party Patio, but life is about making sacrifices. - Build some kind of water ride in place of KIC's favorite box over in Rivertown. (Get it? A water ride in Rivertown? There used to be some back there. A nice lake, too.) You know, a nice water ride where you're not soaked by a large trundled mammal. Or any mammal for that matter. - Update and/or overhaul Boo Blasters. It's time for a nice, quality, non- shoot 'em up style dark ride. Whether or not this is a "haunted house" or not doesn't really matter. - Do something with the thematic elements of our beloved train. I don't think we'll ever see a show again, but I can't imagine a little sprucing up would be all that difficult. Make the train more than just a mode of transportation. It deserves much better. This ones a little crazier and doesn't fall under the category of "ride," but what the hell: Complety overhaul International Street and Octoberfest. Give International Steet it's international back. I mean, geez. Look at it. It's a pathetic shell of what it once was or what it could be. Make it like a mini version of the World Showcase at Epcot. Bring in different foods, shops, etc. And for the love of what ever diety you subscribe to, change the soundtrack. Get the International Restaurant up to par with current saftey and disability regulations and USE it. We have seen how well our first sit down joint worked, so this seems like a no brainer to me. High quality food, speciality drinks, excellent service, you name it. Yea, it'll be pricey, but it would be a worthwhile experience. Same goes for Oktoberfest. Bring some German flair back to the area. The Festhaus needs and overhaul in every sense of the word. Take the Hofbrahaus (spelling?) in Newport. That place is packed. The food is great and the atmosphere is even better. Its a blast. Bring something like that to the park. Make the day memorable. In short, make Oktoberfest German. It could be a wonderfully unique experience instead of a few rides and food you can get elsewhere in the park. All of these attractions all contribute to that concept of "the best day of the summer." Why? Because its something that the whole family could enjoy, and that is something that Kings Island is lacking if you want my opinion. What's my grandpa going to do if I take him to the park? As of now, not a whole lot. That should change. If it seems like I'm being critical, I guess it because I am. It's only because I'm passionate about the park.

Why are some of you so hell-bent on squeezing coasters in everywhere? Believe it or not, other rides can be built in an amusement park. Unrealistic.

Televisions you say. Dancing and singing cats, I say.

I'm glad there is money being spent on this giant biblical boat park. I mean, there's not a heroin epidemic in the state of Kentucky or anything. And if there was, I'm sure this large sum of cash would be used appropriately.

This. There's nothing like a good nap on the train. I remember one Friday in high school my dad came and picked me up after school and we made an impromptu trip to the park. We ate a huge lunch. I mean huge. It was hilarious. We didn't (read couldn't) get ourselves on a single ride except the train. We both proceeded to fall into a glorious food coma. So peacefull!

As someone who has only ever gone through one Haunt more than once (Madame Fatale's), I can tell you that it isn't just our jadedness making us speak negatively. Many of the Haunts are extremely lackluster, even on the first time through.-Homestar92, who wants back the 3 hours he invested in Tombstone Terror-Tory, but would happily go for another trip through Slaughterhouse. Enjoy what you have before its gone.

Here's an idea. We're all fanb... Enthusiasts here, no? How many times are we going to visit Halloween Haunt per season in comparison to the general public? For some of us, a lot more! Which means that we're going through the same haunts time and time again, year after year. So what happens then? They get less scarier. We get used to it. I think it's unfair to just claim that these haunts are lacking because they're under the microscope of fanb... Enthusiasts. Scrutiny. So much scrutiny. Some of you guys just wants to rip stuff out and dump it because they don't like it. The park doesn't base it's decisions off of our opinions. The general public comes first. Just because some thing isn't scary (to you)doesn't mean it's not for others. Oh. Yea, let's get rid of the Haunt with attractive women in skimpy clothing? How about no. Thank you very much.

Take It Easy, Hank. Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.

There's some kind of old world charm to Disneyland that I just can't put my finger on. I've been to Disney World at least six times and Disneyland only once, but I'd go back to the Land before the World for sure.

I held a girls hand for the first time at Winterfest '05. Gave her a cheap ring I bought at the mall for Christmas. I think it turned her finger green. What an evening. I'd take these memories over any new ride or attraction any day of the week. It's the stuff you'll remember.

Holy Comma Splice, Batman!

I'm assuming that remnants of this attraction no longer exist?

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time.

Okay, this is cool. Really jealous. Congrats. This is a helluva piece, right here!

That is horrifying

Looks like a great addition. This will definitely get to be to the park next year.

Oh bull ****. Kings Island, are you hearing this?

I personally enjoy your liquor posts. You have a lovely taste in beverage. As far as Winterfest goes... I'd love to see it again, sure. But if they don't think it's going to bring in cash/people, there's no reason for them to do it. In a perfect world, it would be a huge money maker. There are just too many factors that play into an event like this. Look at The Beach.

This. Absolutely.

Everybody read this again.

Gee, I wish my OCD was that mild. Might wanna do some research before diagnosing yourself.

The crane should be named John Stamos.

Thanks for sharing!
