Didn't I read before that Vortex was the same way? Even without the restraints you would be safe or am I crazy and just make myself believe I read that?

You think it doesn't get cold in Orlando? I did work in 40 degree weather while at WDW. Also I'd imagine WindSeeker, DB, FH, would been replaced with family indoor attractions like Toy Story Midway Mania, Country Bears Jamboree, Space Mountain, Star Tours etc, etc. Winter lineup could be: Toy Story Midway Mania, instead of BBoBH FOF Star Tours in FX Theater Space Mountain in The Crypt Haunted Mansion in a new building Country Bears Jamboree in a new building Tower of Terror where DT is Hall of Presidents in a new building. Disney could operate in the North and Midwest. Yes Disney cast members get FREE admission to any Disney park but Hong Kong, I believe.

^Totally worth it.

Well of course Disney would of been a better operator for Kings Island. KI would be open all year round with christmas and winter events during what is currently known as the dreaded "off-season." We would have even older characters roaming the park. Great food and dining options. Great rides. Attention to detail. I guess I can only dream of Disney's Kings Island or Mickey's Vacation Getaway.

Again more insightful posts from Shaggy. Thanks for the educational lesson. I am quite surprised a controlled demo would not work on a coaster

They have the land to do so, but I'd be surprised. They have used 1/3 of their land. Another 1/3 of the land will never be developed on. So that's 1/3 land that can still be used.

Aww the one thread I didn't think to check. I looked in this one and the gold pass thread.

Is it just me or is KI still using Sonny in their ads?

^ I never knew of this.

The one and only time I ever met Keith, I was working at Magic Kingdom. It was a slow, rainy night. I had messaged him on KIC telling him to look for me. Sure enough as I walk near Pirates of the Caribbean, I hear my name being called. It was Keith and his sons. I stopped and talked to him in the pouring rain. It wasn't a long Convo, since it rained and he was en route to his wife. I believe that was his final trip to Disney. It was one of my more memorable Disney moments. I always hoped to bump into him at KI. He was a great friend and great farther. A wonderful human being. He will be missed greatly.

Even when they break?

^ Paging terpy

...and restrooms! They already have restrooms at both ends of Action(less) zone. Plus some at the Festhaus.

Last year I was trucking Rivertown and Nightmare Alley. I went to put my truck in the compactor by Diamondback and as I operated the compactor a skunk decided to walk across my feet as he headed towards Rivertown Junction. Scared me to death almost. I have a few animal stories from Disney as well.

Also he is writing for the LA Times, most of his audience will not visit KI.

I can see how that can be taken the wrong way.

Reading his reasoning I can agree with him. Plus Woodstock Express is a great ride.

This is another gem. "To the guy that was working at Flight Deck at aprox 7:30pm tonight 8/22/12. Im not the only one that brings cameras on rides. Check the internet. your just jealous because your not making enough money. People who visit Kings Island should do as they please. if they lose a camera or something its their responsibilty so dont worry about it. Another thing another worker at Delerium that hit my leg with the measuring pole to get me out of the way. THAT WAS RUDE! have some manners next time. Just because you dont like your job, doesnt mean to take it out on us! Thanks for the visit." I'm speechless.

^Indoor haunts do start at 6

When I used to clean rest rooms in the early 90's, we were assigned a group of rest rooms in a certain area. When I had the rest rooms at the front gate, we cleaned the front gate mens, mens at the start of IS, restroom in Festhause. It should be the same with the women's. As we go from restroom to restroom, we would sweep the area as we go. The locations is the same for the other restrooms in the park. We have two or three restrooms assigned to clean in the park within the same vicinity. It should be the same today as it was back then. That is still the practice today except Festhaus is under the Action Zone park services associates.

I like how Disney does it. Cast member A hands a electronic card to a guest entering the line. The guest hands the card to a different cast member at the front of the line. Cast member B swipes it. The card once swiped changes the wait time at the entrance of the line.

Diamond Horseshoe is also open on select days of the year. O the stories I have of that building.

I love how Don worded this on Fb.

I'll be late in my 6th decade at that point. Hope to be able to still ride coasters at that age.

I seriously think CP has dumber FB residents than KI. Later on in that conversation
