Believe it or not, the only thing the 'same' about School of Rock was the show itself. Even the production company changed.

I agree -- the talent in that poster is just too overwealming. Especially the guy in the middle.

School of Rock may not be coming back but.......

I want to take this opportunity to thank the cast, crew, and everyone else involved with making Endless Summer on Ice such a wonderful show all season! This has clearly been one of the best years that the entertainment department has had in over a decade! Of course, the entertainment is FAR from done for the year! Twistin' to the 60s is still rockin' with Ricky Van, Dora still invites you to her Sing-A-Long, you can Meet the Nicktoons, and celebrate summer with the cast of Hot Island Rhythms, all until September 3rd!

I will have the official track list for you soon.

Today, Sunday August 19th, is your last chance to see Endless Summer on Ice!! Come see the long awaited return of ice skating to the Paramount Theatre one last time. School's out, so it's time to party! Follow the talented cast of world-class ice dancers as they bust out of the building on the last day of school, encounter bears and other surprises at summer camp, stop by the race course for some mid-summer racing action, celebrate Indpendence Day, and finally return to school with a good 'ol fashion back to school mixer! Show times are 1:00, 3:00, 5:30, & 7:30 and the Paramount Theatre defrosts on Sunday, August 19th! It would be very nice to see how many KIC members can make it to the 7:30 show. That would be a great way to thank the entertainment department for all of their support this season and in seasons past! See you there! Ryan

^ From what I've been hearing, the above mentioned post will not be a problem this year.

I wonder how the online renewal will work. If you have a Maxx Pass, can you buy a Gold Pass instead? If you have a Gold Pass can you upgrade? Will there be Gold benefits next year?

Oh wow, somebody had a correct guess! Give yourself a pat on the back!

I told you! Not everything I post is a press release!!!!!!!!!

Darndest thing... Fearfest will officially change its name to Halloween Haunt's Scare Fairs... Don't expect for it to be too long before you hear a lot more where that came frome.

If you REALLY want, we can delete the account, but what's the point? I mean, if you're worried about security, we can always do a willing suspension...

Unlikely -- I CAN however see Spongebob being replaced (as it used to be done almost yearly) and meybe even a 4D upgrade to the theatre. That venue is commonly used for Fearfest, so that may account for why some things were different.

They were able to reattach one foot, but one had to be amputated just below the knee. It will be a year before they know for sure if her body can fully accept the reattached foot. See previous links in this thread for more details.

I found this site a while ago and figured I'd share it with you. It's a site dedicated to everything Tomb Raider, and it features some photos of Tomb Raider: The Ride's construction. Tomb Raider Chronicles

I'm no expert, but I imagine the park will be dead since most schools are back in by then. That may be a better choice for you.

The park will be just overall more crowded. I imagine you'll see a much bigger impact after 5pm since they have the Twilight Sale + Concert package available. Of course, most people will be at the concert by 7:30, but it seems as thought the nights of concerts are typically more crowded regardless.

Good catch. Please referr all posts to the link mentioned above. When did you start going to KI and where did you hear about KIC?

1992 -- I only experienced one visit to the park in the pre-Paramount era. I remember the big buzz about Kings Island was that there wasn't any kind of major change to it, it just had the "Paramount's" name.

I wasn't so much into KI when I was in highschool (graduated in 01) however I have skipped many many college classes to do things such as TV filmings and media days. Fortunately, being a marketing major, I can be honest with the professors and they take it as some sort of learning experience and excuse it.

To answer your question (sans other variable such as picnics) days when schools are in are typically less busy.
