Does the Banshee rattle bother you?
Wait. You guys go to the park to have fun? I’ve had a season pass since 2004 so I can complain about things on the Internet.

8.8.20 PTR: Impulse Trip
You’re not wrong. Haha. I own around 275 vinyl records. These “kids.”

Ferris Wheel
Count me in. I don’t understand the “we don’t need one” argument comes from. It’s pretty much a standard across most parks. I’d love to see one in Oktoberfest.

Markers Placed by Old Columbia Rd.
Probably has something to do with that green Intamin track from a few years ago.

8.8.20 PTR: Impulse Trip
I had an intense Friday and woke up Saturday with a mild hangover and a sudden urge to hit the park. Amidst the chaos of COVID, I had planned to take the year off. Things change. I had two packs of Polaroid film that I needed to get rid of anyway. Also, those shiny new pins from The Emporium were calling my name. It’s important to give into impulses occasionally. I only had an hour and a half to kill so I didn’t actually ride anything (except the Beer Garden, cheers). Unfortunately I didn’t have all the luck I’m the world with the film I was using but managed to nab a few shots. I’m also a lackluster photographer. Enjoy! Or don’t.

Idea for displaying KI pin collection
Looks great. I had to restrain myself at the park yesterday and only came back with two.

Oktoberfest in Oktoberfest during Oktoberfest
This would be a great Haunt alternative this year.

Fear Fest Dry Run 10/2
Total nostalgia trip. Thanks for resurrecting this thread. Man, I miss some of the OG mazes!

I think “we” need to enjoy the park while possible. It certainly doesn’t seem like this situation is getting any better. DeWine has certainly made it obvious that a total shut down is definitely possible. What a weird season!

Bring A Friend discounts through the end of August 2020
Attendance must be hurting. Can’t say that would be terribly surprising. Tough situation.

Coney is done after this season IMO
I’m really hoping for new ownership. It sure sounds like it’s needed.

Orion Reviews
I adore the fact that enthusiast members of this website are actively going out of their way to get teenagers fired from their summer jobs because they’re offended by fanboy coaster statistics. Guys, it’s a roller coaster. In an amusement park. Just have fun and enjoy the fact that you can experience this new coaster installation in the midst of global chaos. It can always be worse. Sheesh.

Kings Island's next big coaster a ground-up R.M.C?
Not this again.

Do you have a most favorite and least favorite ride at Kings Island?
Favorite: The Racer. I’ll never understand the complaints. I’ve been riding it for years consistently and have never had any roughness issues. I also didn’t really grow up with smooth as glass coasters like Diamondback. To each their own. Least Favorite: Backlot Stunt Coaster. Italian Job was one of the first installations I closely followed as an enthusiast at a young age. I was so excited for that ride, but also sad to see the Eagles and Tiques go. The end result left the park with, in my opinion, a massively visible eye sore. That coupled with the lack of functioning effects make it feel cheap. Honorable Mention: Adventure Express. I love that ride, but it desperately needs some TLC.

Yikes. I’ll have to see it in person, but... yikes.

Coney is done after this season IMO
Any insight as to why the rides were removed? The reasoning of the expansion of more water attractions doesn’t seem to reflect the reaction of the majority of the general public. I, too, fear for the future of Coney. This summer is going to be different for a number of reasons, but the lack of half the park is a major one.

"Disneyland Fans Want Splash Mountain to Ditch Song of the South Characters for Princess and the Frog"
The theming is so loosely tied to that movie. Nothing about what’s currently there is at all related to anything that could be construed as offensive. I’m not understanding this one.

That’s disheartening, but expected. I’m really thinking this years going to be a wash.
