Dan

Thanks for all the kind replies. It was a fun day indeed. Come on man, did you really need to add that? You know nothing about my lawyer and what he has advised me to do. I'm not some stupid kid posting everything on the internet. I just have nothing to hide, so why keep it a secret? I'll be sure to let you guys know if that happens or not...

Thanks for all the replies. The trial is set for August 12, which is one day after my birthday...lucky me. Yes and you can see the gas pump I was talking about. It was just a decoration, there was no use to it, but if you look at the top you can see the tank was accumulating moisture inside. This is because we moved the pump out there in the first place to be out of the public's view. I asked my boss what we were doing with it or who I should call to take it and he told me to just through it out. Well the problem was it wouldn't fit in the dumpster, so it sat there outside exposed to the elements from April to at least June. And if you look closely you can see all the imperfections with the paint, hence why I wanted to paint it. I know, it's been a long time. Last I remember you were at DAAP. Did you graduate? Is that why you're on your way to Wisconsin? But we'll get together in September for sure. Well I had to get a lawyer for the first time. But we will see what happens in the trial, both my lawyer and I are pretty confident. As said before, "the truth will set you free." I'm just happy to go back to KI and see some old friends. Last time I was at the park I was escorted out, didn't get to say any goodbyes, which was not the way I envisioned ending my employment at Kings Island.

For all you old school PKICers who remember me, I'm back! Haha. Either way, you are probably thinking to yourself right now, why am I reading this? Well let me give you some background on myself and my situation. Yes I did come up with PKIC back in 2003 and no I haven't been around or contributing to the site and a long time. All the success deserves to go to Dane and Ryan, also a lot of other people who help make this site keep growing, but mainly Dane since he actually MADE the site. So now you know a little about the beginning of PKIC, now KIC, but that was five years ago! A month after I turned 15 I accepted a position as an associate in the food department at Kings Island. PKIC was just a baby and only a few months old. Now I moved up the ladder very quickly at KI becoming a head supervisor at the age of 18. By this time I had severed almost all ties with the C, only to become a lurker. Last season I returned to KI as a head supervisor (now named assistant supervisor under Cedar Fair ) at the Wings Diner Buffet where the previous year I had helped convert it to a buffet as the head supervisor. During the post season my boss of five seasons decided to leave his job and take a position down at the new Hard Rock park. Now this is where things get interesting. My new boss was okay, I had no feelings for or against her, but little did I know she had something cooking up for me. This brings us to the day of June 18, 2007. It was a normal summer day, but I'll turn this extremely long story short. Like in years past My counterparts and I decided to do some sprucing up of our stand. We refreshened our two-wheelers by painting them black and putting our stand name and number on them. One of my assistants and I painted a picnic table outside our service area that we were using as a break table as the result of new Cedar Fair changes. A gas pump decoration left outside in our service area that had been taken out do to the conversion of the buffet and told to me to be thrown out by my previous boss was on the list of sprucing up. However I didn't get to finish the job. Also, I with a spray paint can which I received from the paint shop at Kings Island, tried to paint over obscenities on an awning in our service area. I thought I would get praise and admiration...Dead wrong. Again, long story short. Myself and only one other counterpart were fired that evening. BANNED from the park for one year and were told we would be facing charges in court for vandalism. A little shocking? Tell me about it... So here we are now, a full year later. One court case has already been resolved with no harm done. Mine on the other hand, not so much. A YEAR LATER and I'm facing vandalism charges with Kings Island claiming damages of more than $2000. A little shocking? Tell me about it... But it is a year later, and I am now legally available to go to the place that I once loved, maybe still do a little...don't know why though. But if you took the time to read all this then you might as well come join me at the park. It will be a wonderful day indeed and guaranteed to entertain. Come kick it with a cool guy, his old work buddies, and a great park no matter who owns it. No one can steal the Kings Island spirit and no one can steal mine. So if you're at the park tomorrow, hit me up on my cell phone...513.484.8392...text, call whatever you'd like. I will be buying everyone in our group free lunch around late afternoon. And just to show you that I'm no disgruntled ex-employee; the week before I was fired, I worked a total of 93 hours in that ONE week. Yes I was dedicated and as much as it hurts me to say it, KI held a special place in my heart. So let's have some fun even if you're a stranger, I promise I won't bite. 513.484.8392 Dane, Ryan, Bill...one of you better be there! Show your boy some love! Haha

If I remember correctly, an intoxicated man jumped off the bridge. His friend jumped in after him to help him, the friend was shocked and died. Also, an employee jumped in to offer help and he was also shocked and died. The first man did not suffer a fatality.

The original poster probably related the track to Face/Off because its color was red and yellow just like Face/Off. I definately saw B&M track, again the colors red and yellow, down around Florence, Kentucky over the weekend. I have no clue where it was going or where it was coming from.

I know. I dont know how to do polls yet. But I tried. Fixed.

^ They do have the chains on the saws for PsychoPath, I think. Would make a lot of sense not to have chains when you're running around and THROUGH large crowds. Nope, they could touch you with the chainsaws and you wouldn't feel a thing.

They read all surveys. Please if you just want to talk to them, don't waste their time, they have much BIGGER things to do than talk to you about Fearfest.

This is a smart person.

You are so ignorant. Do you always talk out of your ass? I hope no one ever takes this guy seriously because he knows nothing that comes out of his mouth.

You heard wrong.

No.

Headless Hollow is not located in the old spot of Curse of the Crypt. I cannot tell you anything more.

You are correct sir. This year we get to see the addition of the new "Scare Zone". I believe this will be the best Fearfest we've seen from its inception.

Whoops, I was thinking about co-oping when I said they didn't. Sorry. They do however, offer internships.

If you haven't been in Starbucks already, you HAVE to go inside. It is amazing what they did. Everything looks perfect. Even if you don't like coffee, Starbucks has something for you. My favorite is the Vanilla Bean Frapp with blended cream. Also, later in the year they will be selling the pretzels they had last year at Bakery. So even if you don't like coffee, you can still get something at Starbucks.

Nope.

Did no one read what I said?

Everybody LISTEN! Screamscape's "sources" are websites and communities like PKIC, so what we discuss on here, is what goes on screamscape. Anyone can contribute a bugos rumor on screamscape and it will be posted. Screamscape has no clue what's going on next year at PKI because I can guarantee you that no major roller coaster is going to be taken out next year. Now if you want to take a hint on what's coming to PKI in 2006, all you have to do is pay attention to the surveys PKI gives out. Better yet, try to remember what the last one you took was about.

Yes. Work on your guest relations, buddy.

I wouldn't expect themed areas anymore. I think PKI is just throwing rides themed to random movies in any place that will fit. Look at TR:TR and IJ:ST.

It has already been certified.
