Columbus coasternut

All I can say aout SixFlags is they are terrible of running parks they bought Wyandot Lake here in columbus and it's been a joke I thought that they would at least try to make some imporvements to the park instead they just ran it into the ground I'll be glad to see the day when the Columbus zoo takes it back over

No idea whats going in at greatwolf

the offical Opening date is out May 22nd I can't wait this is one of the biggest things to happen to columbus in years amusement wise http://www.fortrapids.com/

Yes it's shaping up real well I drove by tonight on my way home from work slide's are being assembeled on the lot to the left of the main water park area.You can see connected tubes comming out of the front of the building and there is alot of construction going on on the family suite's on the right side. Looks like it's going to be a great place when it's finished. Holiday inns website is booking packages for $109.00 a night right now. Also there have been rumors that when the hotel is not booked up they will let in the general public for a fee not sure what it will be though.

Let me see if I remember right or not wasent the last time KI had winterfest they we a family owned park? Hmm now PKI is a corporate owned park if my memory jogs me right just how many people are still working there that were employed when it was KI and had anything to do with winterfest this year. My point is how can you compare the 2 to each other.

I know it's been discused before about PKI being haunted but I found a cool link and thought I would share it with you all http://www.forgottenoh.com/Counties/Warren/kingsisland.html Search the entire state also http://www.forgottenoh.com

Being the lawn and garden guru that I am I can tell you that you have nothing to worry about with theese bees. they come out in early spring feed off the flowers and then become trouble for wooden structures they are known as borers and are as big of a pest as termites. Basically they will drill there way into what ever wood they can find leaving behind large amounts of saw dust and large holes. The best way to get rid of them is to use plumers puddy and fill in the holes that they have made but only do this at night as they are in their dormant stage.As far as personal protection use any product containing Deet (Cutter or Off) this will repell the away from you. And just a friendly heads up don't wear any sweet smelling cologne as this will attract them to you I've never herd of them stinging they are more of a pest than anything.

I have to agree it is sad to see it go. but on the other hand I've introduced my kids to Boomerang and they all love the Hanna Barbera toons.

Goto go with La Rosa's they just don't make pizza like that here in columbus.But what I really miss is the international street resturant they had great food along with a great view.

I was wondering if House Of Blues was returning in 2005? I personally though that the entertainment line that they brought in last year was terrible.

Yes it's being repainted red white and blue and they are changing the name to Captain America.Just kidding no the reflection from the sun in this picture makes it look Blue and Silver.

All I have to say is read the sign before you ride SOB duh it's a woodie it's suppost to be rough if you don't like it stay off of it. Woodies are not suppost to be smooth.Beside's if i was PKI I would go after this company for false accusations.

Is it making a return or not in 2005?

Demon was very basic I rode it back in 87.The only good thing about it was if there was a show at Timber Wolf that you wanted to see but didn't have tickets you were able to watch part of it from the Que line.

Fearfest Winterfest Personally I thought Winterfest was because kids could enjoy it all day long

I must admit I'm suffering from with draw and have gotten boared to death playing RCT so I started surfing the net. I found a site that produces scale Rollercoaster kits which I thought was cool and wanted to share it with everyone. http://www.coasterdynamix.com/

Expanding is a good thing you have to spend a little to gain a whole lot

I never stayed there or ever planned on it. Round trip from columbus is only 170 miles.

Take a look at it this way Sandusky now has two of theese types of resorts and another on the way Kalahari.Columbus has Fort Rapids in the works and is scheduled to open in october.Cincinnati/Warren County is giving everyone another option plus I do recall everyone wanting Winter Fest to come back there might possibly be a connection with theese 2 Just a thought. Now as for pricing goes yes I personally think that Castaway Bay and Great Wolf Lodge are charging crazy prices expecially when you have a family of 5. I think the reason that they are able to get away with this is that they are building most of theese resorts next to big amusement parks. With Fort Rapids it is going to work the same way as Great Wolf you have to stay at the resort in order to use the 58,000 square foot water park but it's $139.00 a night for a family of 4 instead of $250.00 thats a little more reasonable. Hopefully they will come up with some kind of package deal but will they do anything for season pass holders or will it be a combined deal room and both parks for one price.

As far as I know no flowrider has been talked about.There highlighted slide is going to be similar to Taz at Pki.It looks more like a big toilet bowl where you slide down the tube into a giant bowl and go around and around till you reach the middle and fall into a splash pool.I do know that Kalahari Resorts is building in Sandusky. I know like Sandusky needs another indoor water resort! but they have a Flowrider at there resort in Wisconsin Dells and if it is a mirror image like it is suppost to be they will have one. http://www.kalahariresort.com/sandusky/index.php

Ground was broken before christmas but with all the rain and flooding construction has come to a hault.

SOB to Whiplash

I know this it off topic of PKI but I thought I'd let every one know that the Fort Rapids Indoor Water Park is finally under construction. Finally a indoor park that is reasonably priced.This park is being constructed by the same company who has done work at PKI, The Park Up North, and Great Wolf Lodge. http://www.watertechnologyinc.com/ Anyone wanting construction updates feel free to E-Mail me I will be passing by there every day on my way to work and I have a friend who works there.

Winterfest was cool but if they bring it back it will need more spunk than it had. Grant it I was only 12 when I went to it last but it was bora bora if you know what I mean.

Sounds like a neat idea.I remember years ago here in Columbus the used to light up the elevator on the nationwide insurance building and drop it at midnight.Pki could proubly do the same thing with the tower if they wanted to have this type of celebration.
