Chipmunks have taken over PKI. It is time men, armor up. This is that kind of mission where they send your medals to your familys. Dane, if you are captured by the chipmunks, there will be no search and rescue mission, but you will be avenged.

Anyone who removes a John Allen ride is doomed to 50 years of back luck and misfortune.

A lot of it has to do with selling off the Kings Island Resort as well.

I have heard that he suffered from some sort of mental conditional and was forced onto the ride. The moral of the story is to never force an unwinning partron onto a ride. Whether they're scared or don't feel like riding, or whatever. Especially when it comes to children because they are extremely likely to attempt to exit the ride while it's in motion.

Yeah, and I guess we could close them every time we saw one started, but when you are in a conversation with your friends, and something that has already been discussed comes up, do you say, "This has already been discussed." and walk away?

...and TR:TR does invert you, per se.

We would need to obtain the rights before making it available to you guys.

lol.. I saw a skunk by The Beast's first turnaround as I was exiting. I was afraid to get sprayed. And yes, I was also present during PKI's infamous SBNO dry run day.

All of the games are fun. They're worth playing if you feel like it. Some days I decide to play and walk out with all sorts of neat stuff. Ryan Related fact of the day: Did you know that it was common practice for amusement parks to pay children to walk aroud the park with prizes in the past? It would be a cheesy way of promoting the games and show that anyone can win, when in fact the small child was an employee.

SOB is really the only ride that doesn't usually open exactly on time.

Expect to see a new Boomerang Bay page including the construction pics in the near future.

Never is kind of a strong word, especially for steel coasters, but I still don't see it going anywhere anytime soon. Ryan

Exactly. I would love to see an Addams Family dark ride.

PKIC is proud to bring you 31 pictures of the 4th of July's Nights of Fire! We are brining them to you from two different angles. You'll notice that Dane's pics are from International Street, near the entrance, and I covered Eiffel Tower close ups. Click here to check them out! As always, Paramount's Kings Island put on an amazing 4th of July show that's unlike any other! A big hand goes out to PKI for such a special event! While you're at it, make sure to explore our new photo gallery. Please leave comments and rate the pics. We love it when you do that! Regards, Ryan Oh yeah, Dane asked me to tell you guys to check in tomorrow for a history section update. He would have uploaded it tonight, but he's too tired from the full 14 hours at the park.

Phamtom Theatre... can't believe they removed it! A close second would be the Flight Commander.

I also can't help but notice that the park looks vacant with the exception of the people who may or may not be on Delirium (can't tell). I don't know what's up with this. I really would like to see the web cam come back up!!

True, they can't be "rigged" per se, but it's totally fair to make things look a lot simpler than they really are. I mean, look at Jacob's Ladder next to Adventure. They tell you how to win and even show you, but most people still can't do it. Granted, the associate IS telling you the proper way to win... quite possibly the only way to win, but it's kind of an "easier said than done" situation. These guys have practice. Hope this helps. Ryan

No, because then you'd have the same kids tossing them around through the midways.

Yes, Ft. Cooper was the answer.

All of our prices are set extremely low, so even if it does have a margin, it's rarely enough to draw a check for us. Sometimes we'll mark up the shirts to $20.01 or more so you guys can use the $5 off coupons. That can be done by request, by the way. Contact the staff if you're interested. Ryan

Why am I in so many of them? Me too, you freak!!

Unless it was a breakdown, the ride never 'turns off' during a ride cycle. It's programmed to hold it's position at a certain point for a certain amount of time, as programmed in the ride control. It uses giant railroad brakes, as seen in the tour.

Wouldn't doubt it. I'm sure it costs a pretty penny if it's of any kind of detail. He has a glass train in there that's about a cubic foot and it costs $1,000.

I totally agree. I HATE those things. Especially when the kids loose control of them.

asphalt sealant - whenever I smell it anywhere, it reminds me of the park
