Considering it was closed for a month of track work at the beginning of the season, I don't think they'll close it down again anytime soon.
-
"has had minor changes"... in other words, it's been shot to hell.
-
This is clearly not real, the sign points to northbound U.S. Route 4, which is in New England. Everybody knows that the road to Sandusky is actually Ohio State Route 4
-
The guy writing the article didn't have much of a clue, but I don't think anything he said was that darning toward PKI.
-
EDIT: forget it, couldn't get links to work...

Okay, you said the Tribal council background music...and they don't sound like they came from one another at all...at least to me. In any case, it doesn't make sense for them to use Survivor's music, when the Tomb Raider and Baraka movies have great music already, plus Rob Pottorf's stuff
-
Preshow background music does not come from Survivor, they're completely different.
-
Does it still have ride photo?

Here are some things I remember hearing in Coney Mall: "Gonna Fly Now" - Rocky "Sussudio" - Phil Collins "Walkin' on Sunshine" - Katrina and the Waves "Unchained" - Van Halen (this one I've just started hearing this year) "Working for the Weekend" - Loverboy "Blue" - Eiffel 65 "We Like to Party" - Venga Boys
-
Yeah, the issue with the gun was really a nonincident. It didn't really contribute anything to the ugliness of that night. You won't see Kings Island scheduling more rap concerts anytime soon.

Delirium is much more likely to go to down than Son of Beast. Also, usually (not always) when Delirium goes down it only lasts for a little while (30-60 minutes at the most). Son of Beast has been relatively well-behaved since it has reopened, aside from a few late opens.

About Tomb Raider...due to the nature of the ride, the line only moves every 7 minutes or so. Unless you hear an announcement to the contrary, you can assume the line is running even if the line isn't moving

Isn't there a company somewhere near Cincinnati (Batavia comes to mind for some reason) that manufactures steel coaster track? -
I have to give them credit for the effort they've put into this ride, now if only they would give TRTR the same treatment
-
First off, ecology is responsible for the open areas of the park, not the rides. It is EXTREMELY bad form for a ride to call on ecology for trash cleanup. Second, every ride is cleaned every night after close. This is generally sufficient and I think it's the best the park can do. It's not realistic to clean the rides during the day: you just can't sweep a queue when there's several hundred people standing in it. Voban's and major spills are the only exceptions.
-
Heh, I thought they were doing it so we wouldn't notice the shabby condition of the antechamber theming...but staffing reasons work too.
-
Yeah, I notice and understand exactly what you're saying. However, I actually like Nick Universe; even though its not something I'm terribly interested in visiting I still think it's a solid upgrade for the park. This year is looking like its going to be an off year. But if the rumors I'm hearing are true we'll be very happy with who the new owner is going to be.
-
North Tolls are usually used only during the morning rush, or on busy days.
-
I don't think plans will be decided on until KI gets a buyer.
-
Ah, don't be too hard on him...I had to look twice
-
They clearly forgot to update for this year...they also messed up the fact that this year, the gates won't open until 10 am...no more hanging out on I-Street from 9 to 10.
-
Nope, sorry Just know it from maintenance calling me every 5 minutes asking "Is it 50 yet?"
-
This past season maintenance refused to even start testing the rides until the temperature was right.
-
Sorry, should have clarified...obviously FoF doesn't count for that And I forgot about Taxi Jam. The major outdoor steels (F/O, TG, Reptar, Vortex, IJ) won't run below 50.
