Go Charley Go!!!!

^^ That could be interesting!

Duh..LOL...Ok.

WKRC just announced that a "record was broken" at Kings Island.

For an I-Street revamp/touchup - How about a "World Showcase-esque" Nightly Illuminations type show....(of course there couldn't be fireworks)....maybe flame pots in the fountain. Building to building laser show. Marque lighting on the buildings that dances to music for a new dancing fountain/light show. Textured lighting from the buildings to the walkways on the street. How about a revamp of the International Restaurant with a more gourmet menu, and elevator (or is there an elevator there?)

When you see this near the entrance let us know.... (photo compliments of master PhotoShop(er) Thrill_Biscuit) http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iE2cEiFKUd4/U8PayFbc0CI/AAAAAAAAA20/9R3hlrwwYMg/s1600/Brilliant.jpg

I'm pretty sure the queue was removed to maneuver fork lifts and other equipment around the ride base and it doesn't mean the ride won't come back.

^^ and oh so fun too... I like the pumpkin pie orange color as well. It will fit in Thanksgiving very well!.

Don't give up just yet....

My understanding is his show at KBF was not as toned down as our show was during Haunt. Different community standards, I suppose.

I wonder if they will paint bloody graffiti on it so it can be viewed all season long from The Beast line?

I guess it could be worse...how about Kids Bop childrens versions of similar songs playing in PS. I jet through that area because its like listening to a demented music box while someone scrapes their nails down a chalk board.

^^ Cut down the trees??? Oh he** no!!!

Yep. They could use pvc conduit painted blue to match the pool and mask the wiring.

At KD the angle of the view from the sides, you couldn't really see the bottom...from the tower, well... some areas were rather green with algae. At night you couldn't see the bottom from the sides at all.

Keep the blue color of the fountain, but add the light show. KD's version was really nice...so was their Snoopy Starlight Spectacular.

Surely that is a synthesized voice in the video. TOMO has some crazy reenactments out there in cyberworld for certain. for example http://youtu.be/hj_CTqdv0H8?list=UUt-WqkTyKK1_70U4bb4k4lQ

and maybe get rid of that frontier Basketball game. That area has so much potential for some expansion, maybe beyond the train to WWC. Maybe a couple of flat rides in the area would be nice.

Oh yesssss....I was in the standby line two hours last night (queue was only half full). The Fastlane was backed up nearly to the main entry gate at one point. And, yes they were assigning seats.

I make my living off the evening news. Just give me something-something I can use. People love it when you lose, They love dirty laundry... Well I could have been an actor, but I wound up here, I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear, come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry... kick em when they're up, kick em when they're down, kick em when they're up, kick em all around. (Don Henley - Dirty Laundry)

I was sure I remembered four trains, oh well. The one on the course often stopped on the mcbr because there was often one in the exit and the breakrun before the exit, eliminating one block break. Theoretical capacity for the ride was originally set at 2000 riders per hour. I don't believe it is reaching 2000 riders per hour at this time.

When FOF opened it had four trains of 6 cars....24 riders times 4 = 96 riders per complete cycle.....then one car was removed from each train (I believe before the ride was officially opened to the public, correct me if I'm wrong.) leaving 20 seats per train or 80 riders per cycle. Then one train was removed from the coaster leaving 60 riders per cycle with three trains in operation. Then the over the head restraints were removed (Thank God) and replaced with lap bars and seatbelts. I believe since then another train has been removed leaving 2 train operation or 40 riders per cycle. So since the ride originally was created for 96 riders per cycle it has since been reduced to 40 riders per cycle... a 61% reduction... could this be why it takes so long to get on this coaster?

Guest relations says that any ticket purchased tonight will be honored on either of the two additional nights! Its starting to rain and lightning.....seee yaaaaaa!
