What would you anticipate seeing in the Skeleton Key room? (jk)

I saw something near the north footer of the helix on Vortex.....although briefly....it was a pink strip of "something" , however, it flew by so fast it could have been anything. I saw a pink strip maybe a foot long, but i didn't see a stake.

Ooo...kind of like Silence of the Lambs final scene...interesting!

ORRRR.....how about this idea....why not have a sit down restaurant in the park and call it Decades with items from every era....fads, clothing, toys and Kings Island memorabilia on display from 72 to present? You could even have servers dressed in each era's clothing and sell popular food items from each era!

Video games killed the buzzing football game stars.....lol

Why not have a larger "Decades" store that has items from every decade since KI came into existence? Many items today have outlived every decade.....Slinkys, Whammo balls, and Twister games. Plus it would be cool to reminisce and show all you whippersnappers how us old guys enjoyed our youth!

Looks like a warning but not specifically a ticket. My guess is that if the vehicle were truly blocking the driving path causing a safety hazzard, it woild have been towed immediately rather than warned. It also appears that they keep a record for future references or cyob.

The new toll will be in the north lot. I wonder if the acces will loop around in front of Great Wolf and enter through the current North exit since I 71 north will have direct access to exit from across from Soak City? Or will the KI drive just be expanded into an acces road that feeds into the north parking lot from the south. Also, will those wishing only to go to Soak City have a parking bypass lane to skip directly to that area?

Thank you!

I may be way off track, but I recall that a remake of a classic rollercoaster that was similar to the Crystal Beach Cyclone was once planned for the area where Banshee's queue exists and l want to say the coaster had a plane theme. I might be wrong and that that coaster was replaced by SOB and is not the lost Dinn from 1992.

All I can visualize is this... http://www.doblu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/vacation125031.jpg

I miss the live musicians in the park. "Off the Charts" is a wonderful show with a live band. Plus the KI Band (Clowns) Id love to see more street musicians. At one time there was a rock band in the Biergarten. I remember the Country Bandstand in Rivertown too. Who else remembers the Tavelling Medicine Show (a horse drawn cart sans horse) that was at the "backend" of the park when its boundry ended at Antique Treats and (basketball) court in Coney Mall? I even thought that they could have a coffee shop type show in Starbucks. It would be fun to sip coffee and listen to acoustic guitar every few hours.

....."stay tuned.... there's more to come" Hmmmm....wonder what that could be???

Yep... I've crawled through the hatchback to the drivers seat on a couple of occasions during holidays weekends at the park .....lmao! I dont understand why I've beem blocked in from both sides, but apparently they wanted a closer spot and got it.....

If it was KI security were they ticketing them for payment in Snoopy Bucks?

Also there is the trademark for Centurion still hanging on in the arsenal.

Perhaps I should have been more clear... http://www.wrestlecrap.com/shrek/kimap1972.jpg Look at the map and determine what is still in the park and pick two "experiences" to remove. May I direct your attention to Oktoberfest.....Oktoberfest Pond and Biergarten were around in 1972 and would free up a ton of space for construction (if they actually chose to go that route).

Here is a 1972 map.... http://www.wrestlecrap.com/shrek/kimap1972.jpg Pick two attractions....

"that virtually everyone has experienced" Quite an interesting phrase....almost everyone....experienced and not necessarily ridden....what could possibly be experienced without being ridden and has been around since 1972? ....Plus...two things...My guess that whatever they are, they are in close proximity...

Yeee...hawwww. (actually kind of liked that show).

I rode Screechin Eagle (defunct) no seatbelt and only buzzbar.....just as we went over the hill......weeeeee the buzzbar unlocked. We were on our feet over every hill...and very lucky...the only thing holding us in was our death grips.

Im still waiting for the "fill your underpants with fear" plan....

Good point...I wonder if this year might bring us "Skeleton Key Plus"...you know..."for a few dollars more"...

I like the idea of a dark, tactile experience, but I wonder how that would work for crowd control.....unless it's a "pay to play" (which I hope it's not). I would like to see a Banshee haunt on the concrete pad under the Banshee storage house. There is a lot of space under there.

Good catch.....it does appear to be the Banshee loop. But im guessing its supposed to be as if its a reflection from across the midway. It would be cool though if there was more of a connection to the Banshee.....I guess we'll find out what its about soon enough! I do think Banshee should have it's own house or maybe a roaming meet and greet character.
