I'll take Disney-like polished theming and upkeep over a "home park" feel.

Yes. I'm still a big fan of the park, and will continue supporting the park in what little way I can by visiting again this year. Voyage is very rough since last time I rode, but I'll still go on once or twice. I agree that something big is coming to replace Girrafica

Lots of pictures! Makes for a great trip report! Thanks! I can't believe I didn't see the new name plate for Festhaus despite me being in there all three days.. *shake head* Hopefully Drop Tower will make its way into some trip reports soon.

Some sacrifices must be made for the creation of puns every now and then.

Miss no longer, my friend

Waiting 30 minutes before riding? Not a problem for Banshee! Everyone can easily wait at least 30 minutes.

The season pass plan sounds like a good bargain to me. $72 or a season? Uuuhm, yeah! I'd have to limit my out-of-park dining, but I totally could spend that amount of money in 6 months on food.

Having only played saxophone for 2 years before I left, and currently the keyboard (which is very capable in any key), I just didn't realize that playing certain keys with certain instruments was a roadblock for some people. Even difficult keys, usually with practice, is very do-able.

How long is the feature currently? And what does it showcase specifically? I've yet to view it. Might tomorrow if it's a short enough program.

Most of the music in the show is in their original keys though. Why does marching band change the keys? Shouldn't instruments be able to play any key? And you sound like you have perfect pitch if it bothers you passed the initial few notes. Like, I can usually notice if it's off, but it doesn't bother me once it's in the middle of the song and everything matches.

Nice trip report! Sounds like you had a great day, aside from the amount of walking harbored by the way you ended up getting on rides. And that does sound very weird, the lights not being on for that much of the park. Anyways, thanks for the report!

What kind of stuff was shown on FunTV?

Presumably. *clear throat*

Meanwhile on all other rides.... Fun was had, not anticipated.

Be that as it may... As Hannah Montana has taught me.... Nobody's perfect.

Oh yes, it sure does! I wonder if the line will wrap around and make it's way back through the direct route for Banshee.. -- Also, if anyone can post a pic from the tower from their phone, that'd be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, it'll be interesting to see the line in person when I'm there!

I'm glad it's gone in all honesty. It was billed as the tallest water boat ride, which it was, but it was supposed to be so much greater with a huge splash.. It ended up with a splash much smaller than normal boat rides. The ride didn't look nice either during the serpentine areas.. it was just baron. It's unfortunate that such a great park bought from a manufacturer that didn't exactly deliver, but at least it won't stand there looking ugly any longer. Good will come out of this based off the hints, I presume.

Ooh, THAT'S what was going on over there.. I couldn't figure out why I heard screams while I was leavin' the park. I forgot that fundraiser just not ended! Glad you had fun!

What's the color of the third train supposed to be? I've only seen two train operation with the purple and the blue. Is the third train green? -- I've been wanting Kings Island to get an inverted for so many years, I'm glad that it has finally happened, and that it's an awesome one like Banshee! If only it had better seat restraints though.

But Adventure Express uses colored lights itself.. so perhaps it would only enhance the experience.. maybe.

So, for anyone that was worried about the roar this ride would have, are you satisfied? Ever since I heard it in person I've thought the roar of the ride sounds great!

Yes! That's exactly what I thought. My sister refers to the sauce as Cane's dipping sauce so... I don't know what generic name to give it. It tastes like it has horse radish, ketchup, pepper... mayonnaise? I'm not sure, but it sure does taste good! Wittlew baby twees!

I'm confused.. Is the Delirium arm orange or yellow? Towards the white ring it looks yellow.. but then at the seats it definitely looked orange.

A much better POV than was given for Diamondback. Illegal POVs won't be nearly as valuable.
