Unconfirmed word on the street is that attendance is actually up YTD from last year, but that's just KI. The article states:

Aces & 8s was actually the sponsor of the stage. It's a Harley Davidson dealership right up the street from KI. I'm not sure which band played right before his jump, but the bands scheduled to play that day were Goshorn Brothers, 3 Degrees, Kristen Key, Marsha Brady, Catch 22, Johnny Combs and Dallas Moore.

I noticed that Thursday. They're really prevalent at KI for not being in season.

Do NOT miss riding Magnum XL-200. Wildcat's a hidden gem too. Other than that, make sure you hit up Millennium and Top Thrill Dragster. Yeah... it's kind of a coaster park.

Yep, I hope you have a dietitian guiding you in the early stages of vegetarianism. Woofer's absolutely right -- bad things can happen if you just go vegetarian and don't eat a balanced diet. Something similar happened to my sister, she started loosing hair. Not to the point where you could tell on her head, but it was really evident when she'd change clothes and a ton of hair was stuck to what she was wearing. Turned out that she was low in protein. Meat adds a lot to a diet... it's just when you get the Wendy's Baconator every day for a month (guilty) that it's really a problem. Cliff Note: Recently I have been eating better.

Do you honestly think the new names would be any better?

Would be fun, wouldn't it? A lot of people post that they're going to be at the park on a certain day and ask if people want to meet up. This is something we've always allowed. KIC used to host several "meetup days" which were informal but had a huge turnout in some cases. Traditionally it was the last day of the season, but we elected not to do it since the last day of the season was a Wednesday and we had already had the event to end all events.

Plus you MUST protect it or it becomes public domain. It's happened to Disney before. They got some bad press because they insisted that a daycare paint over a wall featuring many Disney characters. Disney wasn't trying to stick it to this daycare, but they are forced to protect what is theirs.

Actually if you really want to get technical, you really have no knowledge of Cedar Fair's agreement with Paramount Pictures either. I get what you're saying and it does make a lot of sense, but you still don't know for sure if that's why they chose to change the names or not.

I've met many great people from these forums. Actually, KICentral hosted a special event at the park last year where over 100 people showed up. Click here to see the original billing.

Wow...wow...wow...wow...wow.... Did I just get an implication that the great Italian Chef is a vegetarian now???

They used to have one of those at SFKK. It was actually kind of boring to be honest.

Fireworks will be amongst many things that happen at KI on July 4th. Without saying too much, Kings Island will be the place to be that day.

I really liked the photos, especially the one of Corkscrew that you noted that you liked.

The Red Racer had extensive track work done. That's why it can be two different ride experiences.

He meant long lines if you have to wait to purchase them at the admissions windows at the park.

It's called Dude's Night Out, and all the cast does is sit around, drink, and talk about how they don't understand the girls in Girl's Night Out.

Heh... joke all you want, but the fact that The Bat worked for exactly one weekend was sad to say the least.

Yeah... that was abruptly point out to me about 3 seconds after I posted it. lol

How can they have a Glow in the Park parade? If people want to see the lights, doesn't that require a Dark Knight? Now I'm the one running for the door.

This topic is going no where... and fast. Closing...

I am trying my best to keep this on the positive side but you know as well as I do that I can get very nasty about what was done and how so please keep those kind of comments to yourself. I felt I was being extremely nice about this. You were. That wasn't the issue. You just kind of mentioned in your first post that the issue was resolved but you still weren't happy. I just didn't want the fine folks of KIC to get the wrong impression about Don Helbig.

I thought it was really nice of Don Helbig to let you use an electric wheelchair rental for free for the rest of the season when he didn't have to. It was also nice of Don Helbig to arrange to have your chair fixed when he didn't have to. Don't you think it's a little cavalier to blame Don Helbig for it taking 6 weeks to fix your chair? They probably had to order parts, which could have taken weeks to get in. I'm not questioning your credibility or anything, I'm just saying that in hindsight, he did do a lot for you.
