The only respectable ones on there are Cedar Point, Carowinds, and Kennywood.

1. I'd say $20 and up for an adult size shirt. 2. Yes, top of my head guess would be between $5-$7 3. They have a metal replica of the Eiffel Tower which is $13, I think. 4. Vortex, Beast, SOB, Flight of Fear, Top Hat's Taxi Jam, Wild Thornberry's, Beastie (maybe even a few more) have ORPs, expect to dish out at least $10, but they had different packages including keychains, 8x10s, etc. 5. It matter which days you go. If you're going in the middle of the week, it would be possible to hit a good percentage of the park before 5:00, but if you go on a weekend, if you go all day, you may only ride 10 things. I'd say with a best case scenario, yes, you could at least ride everything that appealed to you. 6. You meet at the ACE block on International St. around 9:30AM. When you enter the park, you'll see three flags (America, Ohio, PKI) to the right. The ACE block is at the base of them. When you go there, a memeber from PKI's PR will come and walk you to The Beast. It's kind of neat because that's one of your only opportunities to see Oscar's (the employee eatery)! I hope this helps, I encourage you to ask as many questions as you need to. Regards Ryan

hmmm... interesting, they'd probably have to seperate the line before you get on the ride and all of the white males would have a 300ft plunge towards the ground while everyone else had an amazing coaster voyage.

It's always good to hear you guys screw around a little on the microphone. I mean, there is a line, you just need to know where it is. Brad mentioned that he would say that The Beast goes upside down an amazing 0 times, which is totally appropriate. I once heard a ride op on Tomb Raider say something along the lines of "...and enjoy the rest of your day here at Paramount's Kings Island, home of Rugrats Runaway Reptar!" Now, was what he said untrue? No. Was it inappropriate? No. Was it ironic and worth a chuckle? Yes.

In years past, they used to have monsters jump out at you on random midways (especially Coney "Maul" and International Street as mentioned before) but that didn't happen last year. The attractions set for Fearfest every year are officially about a PG13 rating, but I think your 9 year old will be fine. Now, with the 5 year old, it depends on whether or not he or she has a grasp on what's real, and what's make believe. It's really kind of up in the air at that age. Nothing in the haunted houses is really offensive beyond what you would expect to find in a conventional haunted house. I hope you have fun! Ryan

One possible solution for items left on coasters would be to have three different sets of shelves, one for each train. The the ride ops could tell if someone grabbed an item that clearly wasn't theirs. Of course, people have the IQs of carpet samples and putting something on a shelf that has a number on it which happens to be the same numbers as printed on the side of the train is far too lofty a concept for a lot of people.... epecially the basket ball bouncers.

It's a shame that they can't do what they do for the Garfield ride at Kennywood. They collect your glasses at a spot before you even get off the ride.. if you don't turn it in, they KNOW it.

lol... that's in terrible taste.

I think it looks pretty much accurate to me. I like it. Compare: Holy crap... good eye, Greg.

MOD EDIT: I had to delete some posts and edit some that involved unneccessary political commentary (including some of my own). I hate to do it, but the topic was edging on getting out of hand. Sorry guys. Ryan

Try the sea salt, they're excellent.

Will it be as terrible and misleading as the movie itself?

How about a "Micheal Moore's Roger & Me" topspin? That sounds like a desperate attempt for themeing that they'd do at a Six Flags park.

Worst move that a ride could be named after: Battlefield Earth

Enterprise is a funny series, half of the episodes are really good, half are really bad. Ironically enough, the really bad ones are produced by Levar Burton(LaForge).

lol.. I guess I'm a little old.. my first looper was the King Cobra.

I drove past it Friday on my way back from West by god Virginia and there wasn't any progress. I asked Jeff about it at The Beast filming and he said mid-July, so it should be soon.

If you can't say something nice...

It's really not what you think... I mean, I think the earliest they close is 10. If the park is still rockin' at 10, they stay open until 11 or so. It's interesting how they do it too, they simply start shutting down rides and people know it's time to go. They're the masters of the whole "Thank you for coming, now get the hell off my property" concept. At PKI, people would stick around until escorted out. Ryan

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.
