  1. It seems like they are marketing Winterfest to the season pass holders. And right now a Gold Pass renewal (just renewed mine!!![emoji1]) is $99 dollars until Oct 30! Good for all next season! What a deal!!!! Soooo if you want Winterfest to be a success support the event and renew now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. The original had a line of decorated Christmas trees blocking off paths. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. ^in the original concept, they sold local arts and crafts and special Christmas decorations, along with Kings Island products. They had wood working, sculptures and blown glass decorations. They also sold holiday foods, gingerbread, hot chocolate and candies, and more. I'm looking forwards to the train ride. Hopefully the woods will be decorated with scenes and lights. I did like the Paramount version for their light shows. It was something different to experience and very fun! They will hopefully have a toy store that sells some traditional toys, I'm sure there will be something nice and unique to buy while there! I'm going to have to find my winter scarf that I bought at the 2005 version that reads, "this is as merry as I get".... Tehehe!
  4. It might come back on a smaller scale and expand later, but I'm sure it will be a fun and exciting experience. I don't care that I have to wait a year, I'm just happy it's coming back!!!
  5. I'd love to see it extended into the new year with a midnight toast and fireworks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Yes, yes, YES!!!! 100% agreed! That would be a great show in Festhaus orrrr a great overlay for Boo Blasters!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Not a bad idea but not likely to happen...I'd like to see the light show that was performed in Swan Lake in 2005, right where the splashdown is located ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. With all of the trees on I Street I'm hoping for a great light display! Maybe there will be textured lighting throughout the park! Someone mentioned earlier an overlay for Boo Blasters... What a fantastic idea! I think it could be done cheaply and easily with Santa hats on the characters and strings of holiday lights. Then the soundtrack could easily be switched over to something festive! I'm so excited about the prospect! And since they have a year to prep, they could be working on additions to come later.
  9. Thank you Santa for giving us the gift we wanted!!! https://youtu.be/0AWFppFOyBI Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Wouldn't it be cool if we got something similar to this? http://blog.universalorlando.com/whats-new/hhn26-virtual-reality-experience/
  11. It's there to prevent maintenance people from falling over the railing. It can also be found on the backstretch and first left turn of The Beast.
  12. Wouldn't it be cool to take the train all the way to Soak City, disembark to walk through a maze inside the waterpark and then ride the train back to RiverTown?
  13. Such a tragic week and such a depressing way to end the summer. No more bad news!!!
  14. I'm amazed at how KI is chasing customers out of the park early by closing food service.......dumb dumb dumb! I'm just watching all of the hungry people taking their dollars and leaving. This is particularly stupid since they are open today to MAKE Money, not wave it goodbye at the gate!
  15. Maybe it will be a resort, or campground!
  16. As a Mystie, I can honestly believe there is going to be some fan overlap.You might have just guessed what's in the shed- a really bad, cheap movie. Like the trees from H R Puff N StuffSent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Now That! Is the stuff of nightmares. Didn't there used to be a Sid and Marty Kroft show back in the day it was owned by Taft? It was! http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/30537-sid-marty-krofft/
  17. I would love to see the Haunted House come back to coney! "Welcome to the house of the dead!", and the Lost River... And just about all of the older rides...
  18. I remember my first ride. It was spring 1979. I rode it with my cousin Keith, God rest his soul, we rode somewhere near the middle of the train and I remember how our anticipation increased until we were sitting in our seat with the buzz bar pulled down. Then as it crest the hill I was terrified and Keith was whooping it up. I got that rush of adrenaline and about halfway down a second rush with a bit of terror...lol. The train flew into the shelter brake run and I remember the sound o squealing tires to slow us down but It seemed to go straight through and faster and faster. Then we went roaring through two quick back to back tunnels then a run away down hill to the second lift. My cousin was going ape crazy while I was thinking " oh no, there's more". There were skid brakes along the second drop and I distinctly remember slowing two or three times as we went down and about halfway down the brakes ended and took off like a bullet into the double helix. As we went into the final brake run my, cousin was ecstatic! I was shaken up... And then I got the question... "Want to do it again?" I was hooked and have been ever since. I have to thank my cousin for riding it with me for the first time and starting me on a life-long coaster journey... God bless you Keith! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. It's hidden in the bushes in the first picture and was used for the queue for Killmart during Haunt. It's right next to the Icee shop on the mall.
  20. It was the best place to put the flyers at one time. Guess some kind of classic ride could go there. Edit; one of these would be nice there. http://www.flatrides.com/rides/img/IntaminCoasterWheel.jpg
  21. ^as well as an occasional "1,2,3... 1,2,3... Drink..... Throw me back till I lose count....I wanna fly, from the chandelier, from the chandelier...."'and "wish we could turn back time.... To the good dope days"
  22. There's a huge lack of empathy and remorse now. People do hurtful things with no concern for anyone. I have a feeling it's going to get worse before it gets better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. ^i like that idea. Hopefully they put this tech to good use and not just for marketing purposes.
