  1. Awesome, loopity loop, wee wee wee....
  2. Yes... come downtown and ride the train through nothing to do nothing and to see nothing,
  3. If you get the chance, go see "Saving Mr. Banks", great movie. I think Emma Thompson will get a nomination for her performance.
  4. I think Ouimet is leaning towards atmosphere theming. Lights, landscape and experience...all good things.
  5. ...Or working in the city and paying more taxes for it.
  6. There is also the possibility that the chain could split and only sell some of the parks, which would then make it more attractive to Disney, et al. If this were to happen, I would guess that CF would keep the best performing parks...but who knows, they could, if times get tough, liquidate their assets to whomever has the capital.
  7. Forgot.....Antique cars...maybe hybrid this time...LOL.
  8. Memories I'd like to see return to Kings Island....Hanna Barbera characters, Enchanted Voyage, Kenton Cove Keelboat Canal, Salt Water Circus, Drunken Barrels, Sky Ride, TUMBLE BUG AND CUDDLE UP!!! Glockenspiel, WATER FEATURES THROUGHOUT THE PARK - for examples the Fountain in front of Festhause, in front of skeeball, tower gardens, and the only river in Rivertown....big plus....the fountains near The Beast (not the whole pond, just the fountains, into new structures of course....all of the unique plantings...the worlds largest hanging basket, the manicured trees and shrubs....Broadway style shows....and I'm certain I can name more later after I've thought about it.
  9. i've always wondered.... when Paramount was selling the parks, they sent out a survey asking us who we would want to buy the parks, Universal, Six Flags, Busch, Cedar Fair or Disney.... do you think they were all a-courtin Paramount and Cedar Fair offered the biggest doury? Or do you think that was only a smoke screen...diversion if you will...with CF being the only bidder? I'm curious if there is a listing of bidders for public view somewhere?
  10. One could only imagine what would be happening at Kings Dominion with Disney dollars investing in the infrastructure. They could still expand into the regional seasonal park business if the mouse in charge so delights to do so. One would also wonder if their outrageous ticket and parking pricing would follow too?
  11. ki had a special season pass for unlimited visits to DA this past year. I think it was $12. it was nice to get away from the crowds.
  12. Microsoft forced an IE update to version 11 on my computer in a background update the other night. The only way I found out was that things were not working. I found out by checking my IE version in properties. I had to manually remove version 11 and restart my computer to get version 10 back. This is the second time this has happened this year.
  13. I think it would be really, really cool if they brought back the flooded mine and the sluice box fountain...albeit not to their former full lake (stocked full of mosquitos) but as a fountain none the less.
  14. I don't think beast is looking for love, His son just died. His son didn't just die.....I believe he was murdered.......MURDERED I SAY!!! I believe there is a You Tube video showing him being murdered....sad, simply sad....I feel sorry for The Beast...but then again....The Beast could have been the murderer...It's an unsolved mystery.
  15. I resent that over 50/over-the-hill crap.... Actually I have been over-the-hill with The Beast many times......many, many times...so many so, you could say we've become rather intimate.
  16. Good points. Maybe with the process being done in house, the costs will be lower and the end result might be a better show.
  17. I hope you're right. I would love to see something a little more cohesive than quick musical revues, but I imagine that has everything to do with music licensing.
  18. Could it be this show? Fan Dancer Sally Rand Mod Edit: Video removed. Contains brief nudity.
  19. With the Snoopy Starlight Spectacular being sent to the dog pound, I wonder what could possibly be put in it's place? Maybe a new evening closing show of some kind?.... lots of space there...
  20. Its sad that Six walked away from there and apparently took it as a loss.
  21. and it's a ground hugger too....at least at some points!
  22. Here's another little fella having a bad day.
  23. My guess is that it won't have animatronics, but be more like a two or three dimensional film, and family coaster. Then it would be easier to switch out films and reprogram the bumps and grinds of the ride vehicle.
