  1. idk if they are going to do thursdays again or not as last years thursdays ended up being closed due to weather...which wasnt KI's fault, Id like for them to try it again with thursdays

  2. New website! Awesome!

    Kings Island Website

    Edit- Adventure Express, The Crypt, and Backlot Stunt Coaster are '5s', even though they are marketed as family rides... dry.gif

    I work Adventure Express....and I ask myself the same question all the time and have people tell me im lying when I tell them the ride rating is a 5....I could see it as a 4

  3. I have a bunch so here we go.

    Wake Me Up When September Ends-Green Day

    Time Of Your Life-Green Day

    What I've Done-Linkin Park

    Animal I Have Become-Three Days Grace

    Bring Me To Life-Evanascence

    I Wanna Be Sedated-The Ramones

    Boys Of Summer-The Ataris

    End Of The Summer-Theory Of A Deadman

    Those are just some of them, I have a couple of CD's in my car of all the songs I've heard that make me think of KI.

    lol thought so... I do have to say I thought dead awakening was better than hot blooded but thats jut my opinion...but yeah I know what you mean... It was the same for me with most of the songs from that show...some of them I have never heard before but now every time I hear them I instantly think of KI

    could some of those be due to dead awakening? lol main reason why I ask is because I have always loved those songs but they never reminded me of KI until I saw dead awakening :P

    Yes most of them are actually, that show kind of got me hooked on a bunch of them as well. Like I said thought there are a ton more that make me think of KI but Dead Awakening kind of helped them out too.

  5. looks like to me its at the corner of I-street which is where the wood shop is at..great pics btw..I love seeing old pics of KI...makes me remember the memories that I have had in the past when I was really young..

  6. One and only one answer: Flight Deck B)

    There's not a single ride where I absolutely have to be in the front seat. Although the one I find makes the most difference is Flight Deck.

    There are only two rides that I will ride ONLY in the front seat, or not even bother...for totally different reasons:

    * Maverick. The ride is simply awesome in the front seat. In fact, it is my favorite steel coaster, by far. In other seats, I find it to be an incredible bore.

    Maybe that's why I wasn't all that impressed with it. It's a decent coaster, but it doesn't rank near the top of my favorites. I've only ridden it once, and that was in the back seat. It just didn't seem to live up to all the hype to me.

    i agree...i love the front seat on flight deck....although i usually find myself at the back of the coasters more than the front except for Flight Deck...thats the only one i have to ride up front no matter what

  7. I agree. Ohio has some of the most bizarre weather around. I love to travel and what not and always constantly get weather updates as much as I can while traveling so I know what im in for. but nothing so far that i can remember beats ohio weather...but im gonna make a guess..im gonna guess that it will be a light drizzle of rain on and off throughout the day with a temp of........58-62 degrees...now watch since I made my prediction I will be completely wrong lol...

  8. When I was really little I was terrified of Phantom Theatre...yea I wouldn't even go on Pixie and Dixie's Swingset because it was ride next to it. And I would have nightmares with the Phantom <img src="http://www.KICentral.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />

    oh I know how that is...I was the same way when PT first went in...I was so terrified of the ride..but I think since I was real young and I loved the smurfs that I thought that all the people in PT killed the smurfs cause they were all blue as well...only thing I could think of as to why I absolutely hated that ride when I was younger...as I got older I loved the ride and was sad when it was taken out...but now I am also sad that they are taking scooby out :( I used to have dreams about ki all the time but for some reason I havent had any lately...wonder why

  9. I've said it before in similar situations and I'll say it again. In a situation like that, that security officer should have been fired. There are so many security people who do such a tremendous job, keeping one like that does bad things:

    * It breeds disrespect for all security people everywhere...as if their jobs weren't tough enough already. It teaches people like the ones in the example here that they can do what they want without fear of enforcement of valid park rules. It's the old "camel's nose" theory. If I can do that, I can do what I want...

    * Had those people gone on to do a major, violent act, the park was already on notice of their bad behavior and failure to comply with legitimate park directives issued by its staff. That is not a place where the park wants to be.

    * It also contributes to the general rowdiness perception issue the park has during Haunt. Oh, it doesn't have one, you say? Please explain why the NO RE-ENTRY policy applies ONLY during Haunt (as it did during the old Grad Nights, which had similar issues).

    I agree terpy, it does breed disrespect for all security officers, I work security at paul brown stadium and I know how hard the job can be but there are times when you do have to put your foot down as a part of security and take charge. unfortunately it wasnt done.

  10. My sister-in-law's sister and husband got kicked out in 2008 for assaulting an officer, but it all stemmed from smoking in line.

    The story, as I've heard it, is that they were in line for either Firehawk or Italian Job (can't remember exactly which) but they were smoking in line and some people complained and a staff member told them to put it out. They refused and got unruly, cussing and causing a scene ("I'm allowed to smoke, it's a free country...blah blah..*hack* *cough* *choke* *expletive*...blah blah!") and Mason police were brought in to escort them out and the wife was cussing at them and hit one and then her husband got in and pushed one so they were handcuffed and taken to cool off in the jail.

    All that over smoking. I seriously can't understand how people can go so overboard over putting a little puff stick in their mouth. I mean, I know it's an addiction, but to go nuts because you can't do it in a crowded line with people having to inhale it is just stupid. Of course, they still hold to it that they were the ones who were wronged and Kings Island is a bad place.

    well thats just like when i was at haunt one night in line for urgent scare...the group behind us was smoking and cussing up a storm and what not...i asked them politely to put it out and they started getting in my face and cussing at me saying that they could do whatever they wanted and i wasnt their daddy and i couldnt do anything to them to make them stop. whats sad is i got one of the scare actors pulled them aside, showed them my park ID since i work there and told them the story and they told them to put it out also...problem was that they started cussing the scare actor out and then got into my face saing bunch of things i wont repeat lol..but i ended up even getting security to come over but they still refused..bad part about it was that once the group told security where he could go to, and that they werent going to listen then the security officer left it at that and walked off and didnt do anything about it..what made it worse is the went through the maze with me and stayed behind me shoving me and what not...i decided that it was best to not give in and do what i wanted to do because i decided that it would not be wise and what not...nothing was ever done to make them obey the park rules...but i suppose its best to leave it be and just move on...i was hoping that they would have been kicked out for being so unrulely but they never were

  11. still a good looking sign IMO...even if there isnt much to it...absolutely love to see history photos of KI...makes me wish sometimes I was older so I would have gotten to experience some things that Im too young to have ever experienced...

  12. To be honest I have asked myself the same question on if they were still doing it since there hasn't been any updates... I figured they still were doing it but I would lime to see how they Are changing some of the rides...And welcome to the site

  13. I will agree to that lol I have hit the point in the dreadful OS where I recap the history of the park... And that pic made my day and possibly my week lol... I have always wondered what the first sign looked like...
