WCPO anchor (and former Kings Island intern) becomes free agent

Can't be any worse than who they have now[emoji6]. Very few could be imo. Sent from my SM-F946U using Tapatalk -
Wow, what a scumbag. Never did care for him (chad). I personally know Dustin as I used to work with him when he was a regular rides associate (great guy). Yes, he is the rides' operational manager, which is why Chad was yelling at him to find the employee. Chad has done nothing, it seems, in this situation. Poor excuse of a pr rep. Sadly, it's not surprising, though, from other stuff I've heard/seen from him in the past. I don't blame ya for wanting to leave the company after all of that. In my opinion, he should have been doing a lot more/helping out to smooth over the situation instead of hiding and being lazy/blaming others for his ideas, but what do i know. It's crazy how ki used to have, in my opinion, one of the best pr people in the industry, and now they have this mess that is chad. Sent from my SM-F946U using Tapatalk

Former supervisor for Dinosaurs Alive! Here. You are correct. All the Dinosaurs Alive! Animatronics were leased from a company that was based in Canada. The dinos themselves were very hard to maintain. The park would have to call the company and have someone from the parent company come out for repairs which didn't happen often due to price if I remember correctly (at least from what I was told so take that with a grain of salt because how much of that would be true and told to a seasonal associate). Squirrels loved to make nests inside of the dinos and would wreak havoc on the internal wiring. Honestly working the attraction was my absolute favorite time while working at the park.

The seats for me poked me in the legs as I sat there. Just sitting there it was painful but as the ride was going (for me at least) it felt like the pain subsided for me. I'm not sure if I just got used to it or if while riding, the forces resituated me better into the seat. I actually got off the ride feeling like it was lackluster. I had it to be more intense on the g-forces in my head than what it really was. I'm glad I rode it but for me it's probably not something I will ride all that frequently. Definitely not in the summer with the long lines. I had only a one cycle wait during winterfest (only cause they closed the gate just before I got up to it while they were loading). I could see myself getting on it if thr wait is very minimal but I don't really see that happening often wjth the low capacity. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I could see a zamperla multi launch going in if top thrill 2 works. I'm not so sure of an rmc any more due to multiple of their rides having reliability issues. I just hope that whatever goes in that spot eventually will be as photogenic as Vortex. I've always wanted a single rail but one capacity and two rmc's current reliability issues I think will make it not happen. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -
So how long do we have to wait to see Don in ki's hall of fame or whatever they call it? Lol if anyone is deserving of it, it is definitely him. I loved talking to him any chance I got when I used to work at the park. Such an awesome person and I wish him the best of luck in his next chapter. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I just realized this hasn't been posted on here yet. This was posted on King's Dominion's youtube channel but it's the same video as Kings Island. This is the "newer" full video as it doesn't talk about the outer limits name. A few lines of dialog were changed when the alien would talk when the outer limits name was dropped which can be seen in the shorter video version. However this has the prank and everything in it.

I've got a really dumb question... Mostly cause I've never tried renewing this early. If I renew my pass now, will I still have my current drink package available until the end of Winterfest and then it just goes away (I have the paper cup version) or will I have to buy a new one as well if I want it for Winterfest?

I have to admit... Tonight was the first night I actually got to see the show in person and it completely blew me away. Watching a video of it doesn't do it justice. This is the type of shoe I wish Kings Island always had. I hope they continue this type of show in the future instead of just for this season. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Wow didn't realize how big this project was. That's crazy! Depending on how smooth it becomes I will have to debate on finally riding it. Definitely will be interesting to see the reviews next season when it reopens. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
