This doesn't exactly have anything to do with the basketball issue, but I was once hit with a "billiard" bouncy ball that was dropped off of Dropzone. You can ask Beast08 about that one, lol, I had a pregnant lady right next to me and we were both sitting on a bench just outside the ride. All of a sudden I here this whirring noise, and see this small black object coming down right in the middle of us. I stuck my hand up to catch it but it just came closer and closer, I decided rather than catch it that I would try to kick it as I jumped out of its path, anyways I got lucky and got a piece of it and it just hit me then bounced off the bench all the way back towards Festhaus. Those things hurt...

Benny is your shunt glass or rubber? Glass shunts are typically strictly prohibited from any contact activities by all doctors. If it is rubber, you may be ok, check with your doc!

I've been searching all over, and have come up with a few of the songs played, but if anyone knows some for sure, please list them here! Thanks!

Such a funny situation protecting something that as others have said are so numerous. I realize the whole everything has right to live type thing but seriously, isnt it our job to stomp on them so they dont take us over and terrorize us? I am part of PETA's distant cousin, People who Eating Tasty Animals...not sure a cockroach counts though, yuck.

I've never lost anything at an amusement park. I wear my "coaster shorts"!

But see the problem that DisneQwest encountered, was people like myself not willing to pay the money to enjoy it or the time, when there was other things in Downtown Disney that we wanted to do, and when we wanted to spend time in the actual parks. It really suffered from being to close to a Disney park, not neccesarily because it wouldnt work.

I liked that story about the hotels, it kind of struck a cord with my personal experiences. Two years ago The ISOTECH chemical plant in Miamisburg Ohio blew up. It blew up about 9AM and my family was getting ready to go to Cleveland to visit relatives, we had construction across the street at the time, and thought the extremely loud burst was just a backhoe slamming the groud with the loader or something related to the work done across the street. Anyways we go to Cleveland and on our way back our radio station finally goes back to the local one and they release a news story that the Isotech plant experienced an explosion and all of my community in the surrounding area was forced to evactuate. We live less than a 1/3 of a mile from the plant, now the street that I live on was litteraly the eveacuation line. The other side of my street was told to leave and my side was allowed to stay. Well, there was just this dense smoke hanging over the area, we chose to leave, so we told the police at the entrance of my street our story and he let us enter our house to get our animals. We took 8 minutes gathering clothes and capturing the animals and left to find a hotel. Anyways we had lived in Fairborn before and knew that was our best chance at finding a hotel, so we took off on the thirty minute drive with my mom, my sister and I, two cats and a Golden Retriever all piled into a Nissan Sentra. We were able to secure a couple nights in the Red Roof Inn and since they had heard about the story they gave us 70% off and waived the no pets policy and pet fee. We were so greatful, we had no idea if we would find a hotel that would take all our animals or actually have rooms available at all. The situation is somewhat similar!

I see what you mean, I also hope there is some goodwill in the new plans not just another "church goes berserk and instead of opening a christmas soup kitchen opens a hotel and waterpark". On a side note, we have big butter jesus, is a Moses made of cheese in the plans?

^Exactly what Ronny said. I'm sorry that you had an unpleasant experience at the park Skjackson. I, like Gordon Bombay and TycoonRebel and many others read exactly what you said not what we interpreted you said, unlike others in this forum. Hopefully on your visit next year you will find that the crowd control is more...um...controlled! Personally, I dont have a problem with you listing your credentials as they were. I am glad that you feel proud to be in either of those organizations. And since your opinion stated that your well traveledness was credential enough to have an opinion in comparison on the matter of crowd control at parks, I feel like many others you were in full right to list those credentials that make you well traveled. It is too bad people dont understand what was said when they read a material. In any case, noone here could have expected the type of crowd there was this past weekend at the park unless they had a crystal ball. For those who havent been going, Saturday was the most packed event at Kings Island that I personally had ever witnessed!

YES! You especially have to of loved his performance in Hornets on the Eiffel Tower! There are mutha ****in' bees on this mutha ****in' Tower...well wait actually that one hasn't been made yet, but the ride has! HAHA

I think that I would like to see a ride themed to nothing but snakes! (Inside joke with a member that posted above me) Snakes hanging from rafters, a vehicle shaped like a snake...everything snakes!

I can confirm that I believe that Cedar Point will not be building on the lake in the near future!

whoaaaa signs, signs, everywhere a sign blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind do this, don't do that. can't you read the signs?

Yeah everything in our life is seemingly free market. You have to sell yourself, the trick is to not spend too much time or money on advertising. And, if you do, to make sure that your viewpoints are actually something people are ready for or understanding of.

Reputable...or refutable? As always im kidding Interpreter, If anyone on here deserves to describe themselves as that, it is indeed you!

Ah, no truthiness just truth, Im breathing it in real deep and it smells great! I love the fact that they called it what they wanted.

You made me smile Interp, you made me smile!

I'm personally going to get to 3,000 posts and then leave this site in its entirety. [sarcasm]

Wait we didnt get X-Flight? What the heck did we get then? It sure as hell doesnt look like a Zamperla Flyer.

Beast will be up...Beast is always up, IJ will be up, you should go, many things will be open. Besides there shouldnt be many lines, and a very fun time if you have a pass! Besides dont miss your last chance to walk the park and take in the sounds before she goes dormant for the year!

Um Ronny, Wikipedia? Now thats a scholarly source Actually if any of you can believe it, I am fairly sure that I am the first college student to ever get an A when mentioning Wikipedia in a scholarly article! Well...I guess my article was about Wikipedia...lol

Yeah, thanks for the catch CarrieR, I forgot about Scrambler being dismantled for the season.

In the amusement park business or any larger business for that matter, money is not hard to find...it is on the other hand...very hard to pay back! The question is not do they have it, it is not even can they get it; the question would be, is aquiring that sort of cash and debt load worth the hassle? Unless of course they do have that cash on hand! Post #700!

^That is wrong, everything is open except for HH attractions, Congo Falls, WWC and TR:TR. Everything else should be running!

right, it becomes "Silly Season"
