Those guys knew how to work a crowd!

I'll try to take some photos while I'm there this weekend.

If you can afford to get drunk at Kings Island, you probably aren't the type to cause trouble. Now Halloween Haunt when the parking lots garbage cans are full of $10 handles of vodka and cases of beer, different story.

I mean, what do you think they are doing here? It's not like they are letting the public pick a specific ride or layout. They are very general descriptions (Subject to Change, Caveat Emptor, etc). It's not like the highest votes are going to win, it just gives them a general idea of what their passholders would like to see.

Not Great Bob!

Taking the Supermarket strategy it looks like. Staff the bare minimum, in this case it'll be rides and lifeguards which have minimums to operate. I wonder if they will use those employees to fill other departments. I remember back in my Rides days they would send people to Ecology (Park Services). Will they use Lifeguards in other departments until the waterpark opens?

Start the letter writing campaign!

I don't think I could even do 10 days in Orlando, much less 10 at CP.

I can't imagine the capacity being better than before.

10 days at Cedar Point? That sounds exhuasting!

Katie is amazing, I worked with her back in 2010 and 2011. She deserves it!

Kings Island attracts a Dollar General crowd on average.

I'm glad they were able to keep it. My wife and I really enjoy the Summerfair.

Franklin finally getting some respect in the park. His unofficial ride Franklin's Geezus Gerbils didn't last very long.

I'm glad the production value is so high on the web series.

Unfortunately, no, it's not a Marvel property even. Closer to an Amalgam comic type than anything else. While looking this up, I had no idea it was actually a web series.

As the resident Action Theatre enthusiast: Action Theatre History Secrets of the Lost Temple was there in 2003 only. Days of Thunder ran in Side B of Action Theatre for about 2 weeks in 2004.

I'm sure someone from Tech Services can chip in here, but Action Theatre was a pretty high cost attraction. The seats have a lot of hydraulic moving parts and they would break down fairly often. Also, when I was there in 2004, the projector was still film. Occasionally the film would break or burn out and they had to splice the film back together. The main reason it still stands is probably the workshop for Tech Services underneath, which basically handles all of the speaker and microphones in the park.

That is pretty wild, because back when I was still at the park in 2011, the restroomers were the highest paid non-supervisor spots in the park (aside from skilled trades). They made $10 an hour then lol

I will say, I lived near Coney and it was pretty busy most days with good weather.

Would be extremely difficult to extend hours with all of the minors that work at Kings Island. CP doesn't have that issue as much. You'd almost have to plan ahead with schedules.

I use a ton of the pizza coupons in there, aside from that, not much.

Please have me and Ronny on to discuss our history of Kings Island if Six Flags bought them instead!

I stand corrected.
