Seeing as I already began a thread like this, I'll just use this one to post any finds I come across laying around that I am having a hard time identifying for myself, as opposed to making a new thread every time. On the 1999 brochures when Face/Off and Drop Zone debuted, what is the Drop Tower ride they used? http://i580.photobuc...ck/IMG_4136.jpg ...yeah I like filling my mind up with what some people would consider useless knowledge.

I rode the thing once its opening season, too rough, vowed to myself to never go near it ever again. 2003, I was back on it. I neither loved it, nor hated it. Only reason I rode it as much as I did, it was typically a walk-on so that and Top Gun (which I actually do love) were good time killers.

Thats awesome! Now that song is gonna spring into my head whenever I'm around the ride.

Just like I was watching a pov just yesterday of Nitro and someone commented, and I quote, "dis da behemoth not nitro"... Even though it clearly says Nitro on the zero car. and when people try to correct him he insists it's still Behemoth and insults anyone who says otherwise. Those are what I like to call "trolls". They do it on purpose just to get under your skin >.> That's why I ignore comments on YT videos. I remember one time someone posted "I used to ride The Beast when it was at Six Flags" on a POV video for Beast (yes, he was talking about KI's) I must be minority..I thought Invertigo was pretty in pink ok maybe not.

Ed Alonzo done OK work when I saw his show at Knott's. I'm not sure though I like removing the ice skating show, took KI how many years to get one back? I think it be better suited for Festhaus. :/

And here we go... US Teen with no Hands Sues SeaWorld over Ride Ban http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/295823/20120209/teen-hands-sue-being-banned-seaworld-rides.htm

^No, at least not me. PETA been trying to get SW to retire the group of killer whales that were captured in the 60s-70s for years to a sea pen if reintroduction to a pod fails (sea pen is captivity too..) One of said killer whales is about 45 years old now (been in the care of man since the 60s), blind in one eye (albeit killer whales don't rely so much on eyesight as sound but..) and has kidney problems. Also we know most of her family is dead too. Why release her? PETA and other some other real loud individuals I'm thinking of conveniently leave important bits out when they talk about the releases of Keiko and Springer. Keiko's story was a disaster, he ran away from a calf (a baby!) even seeking protection with the boat his human caregivers were on to give an idea. Springer's release wasn't a success because her natal pod (grandma, aunts and uncles) rejected her, rammed her and chased her away. She was taken in by a distant relative after being on her own for a good while. One of PETA's international groups recently attacked the food menu for patrons at SeaWorld Gold Coast in Australia (not connected to the SeaWorld/Busch gardens in the US) for using fish. " fish are intelligent, sensitive and interesting animals".

Aahhh Nox Arcana. I don't recall hearing their stuff in 2011 at the park. :/

It was a temporary structure in the admin parking lot

Who all here remembers the Titanic movie tour? and there was another tour that followed it the same year for Star Trek. I've uploaded a few pictures from both of those. The Titanic tour one I believe was the last time my grandpa went to KI, so a little bittersweet.

Cheetahs though, tend to have a more docile temperment compared to that of a lion or a tiger, but I do have a problem with the handlers being all too comfortable doing that cause if the cheetah were taken by surprise or something... could lead to problems. I been around bobcats and I wouldn't allow them ride like that in a car. Hope they're driving carefully, cheetahs are real fascinating kitties.

http://www.orlandose...0019,full.story I have to be honest I'm a little mixed on this one. Though most people from what I always seen do hold onto the restraints for some of the rides at all parks I been to (and I certainly do as well, very seldom if ever have my hands up)

You would be correct.

I thought there was one or am I missing something?

I wouldn't be surprised people injure themselves intentionally just to get money, only reason I think that cause my family has had it happened on one of our recreational vehicles.

When I hear about lawsuits for most things anymore it makes me embrassed to be a human.

^thats good to hear. So many memories. We just kept all the RVs there and go around the Sandusky/Port Clinton/ Lake Erie islands considering it burns more fuel to haul them then it would without them and definatly hard with a camper the size of my dad's taking it to a campground and finding out it had nothing large enough which is what happened at KI. I mean...that Franklin was sinking a ferry and another time its weight smashed a water line at another campground flooding a bunch of campsites We probably outdo Long Long Trailer with what that Franklin been involved with.

^We ran into that at Disney World Fort Wilderness and just a mere couple weeks after we left they changed it to "you are allowed to keep your pets at your RV as long as they're leashed and/or kept inside". A attendant offered to take our cats himself and my cat Bandit scared him till he drained of color and said "nevermind you guys did say they don't leave the trailer? ok they can stay in the camper" Bandit from what I always remembered didn't like strangers and only allowed my father and grandfather to handle him without being bitten. We always went to Cedar Point, practically living there in some ways, (since there was hardly any campgrounds in that region that can handle my parents camper) and their campgrounds were always full, even on non holidays. I doubt its like that anymore though :/

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I can not stand when people pull out their cellphones once the trains leave station, always seems to happen on Adventure Express everytime I go on that.

Windows Movie Maker, I think its the most basic you can get. My biggest thing with putting this together was trying to keep the pictures and in particular the videos to flow with the music as much as possible. Thanks everyone!

Thanks DropZone9 TombRaiderFTW, at least I know I didn't imagine it that I heard that rumor. Only other thing I know is Sky Cabin has only just reopened within the last few weeks, its been closed since right before WindSeekers construction

I was bored today and made this music video for Kings Island. All images and videos were taken by me. The owners of the music are credited in the video.

I never knew that.
