In a perfect world there would be no need for any TOS rules on a forum If everyone would just "Treat everyone like they would like to be treated". (Yeah I know, John Lennon and I can imagine.)

The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, bloods, wastoids, dweebies....they all adore him.

It's nice to see a new generation discover this thread. I did have a good time doing it. I started a new job 4 years ago and do not have the same amount of spare time/vacation time that I did back when I created this thread. I am sitting on a couple of sets of older slides that I do plan on giving the "standing within' 3 feet" treatment to if I ever get the time....but there never seems to be enough time to do the things you wanna do once you find them...

Nice nice report....it sounds like a very good day at the park. (And I agree, that's a very good ride photo!)

A nice Christmas present...thanks for taking the time to do this, your aerial photos have always been one of my favorite things about this site.

Freudian slip?

There is...just not next to Kings Island....just kidding, just kidding.

In case someone would like to know just how well Give Kids The World rates as a charity: http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=3753

I have held my tongue up until now...so here goes. Even though I am once again registered for this year's Coasting For Kids event, I did not join the KIC team. Why? The main reason is that we wouldn't even know about this event if we had to rely on the mods of this site. (The main site is still warning us that the 2012 season is about to end. ) I do not feel the need to promote a site that doesn't even care to help promote the cause itself. It is Jonathan that I thank for taking the time to keep us all updated on this event. (If the team were named Members Of KIC I probably would have joined! )

(I am really beginning to worry where Paul is. )

^I really hope that Fred and his car were not destroyed, that would be a major crime.

By the way...Happy Birthday Paul...wherever you may be!

Nice photos Josh...i'll add one that I don't think i've ever posted: Perry Meek, the main guy in the photo now designs outfits for Lady Gaga: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/from-hindley-street-to-dressing-gaga/story-e6frea6u-1226095969220 KI "Wall Of Fame" here he comes. Where is Paul? (Hopefully somewhere having fun!)

I thought there already was a book about Son of Beast...

Boy, what are the odds!

This was an eBay listing from last week for 6 Kings Island Zippo Lighters : http://www.ebay.com/itm/lot-of-7-new-zippo-lighters-kings-island-beast-Firehawk-/251222938167?pt=US_Cigarettes&hash=item3a7e0dd237&nma=true&si=X2Saj2mIa27LZqwjGmiIvlASSkA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Are these "official"? To be honest I have always thought that when I see these on eBay that they are just made by the seller.

Now I know that you know the difference between a Pacer and a Gremlin...you're not fooling anyone!

"The off-season exists only for guests." My favorite line of Don's in the Q&A. P.S. Thanks malem for compiling all of the questions!

Thanks for sharing the great photos! Unlike Templeton, I don't think I have ever seen the costume character of Wilbur from Charlotte's Web.

Up until it switched to it's Mexican menu it was my favorite place to eat in the park...nice view and I thought the food was the best value in the park.

I easily overlook small grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors...because God knows I create them myself...but is it really that hard to capitalize the first letter of a sentence? Making it easier for your fellow members is just common courtesy.

I do find it mindboggling that if the government announced a tracking program like this there would be an outcry heard like never before...but let Disney announce it and people not only will be lining up for the chance, but they will even spend more money to add trinkets to their tracking bracelet! I agree completely...know when to say when.

EASY: A shot of The Monster HARD: A shot of the map/guide rack EXPERT: A shot of the floral clock before the plants have been installed for the season.

Merry Christmas to everyone here at KIC!

It was a peaceful evening. EASY: A shot in Coney Mall HARD: A shot of "the bear".
