40th Anniversary...how about a History of KI area?
I went to the park with some friends and really enjoyed a ride on Skylab...in 1995.

I'd like to see it as part of a shop or eatery on International Street...

Nashville: new theme park?
Kings Island itself is a World of new Frontiers, as I understand it...well, it at least prevented a new Frontier, I think...

Could this make things go South at Ole Kings Island?

Nashville: new theme park?
I had never really thought about that...and moving some of the actual rides to there sure didn't hurt!

People pay a lot for nostalgia..something that a new park has a hard time providing...

What is the newest theme/amusement park in the U.S. that is currently operating (not counting Disney additions)?

What was your Expirience on King Cobra?
In addition to what has been posted above, I really liked how KC looked...I liked its setting, and it was a fun coaster to watch operate.

What`s next for Son of Beast?
During my visits to the park last summer, I couldn't believe how many people were still being drawn to the park by Son of Beast.

The Crypt: Gone for 2012!
One of the best things about it, too, was that you had no idea what was coming up when in line for it. The first time I rode it, I had no idea what kind of ride it was.

What is your Expirience on The BEAST?
I would travel the same distance I do to Kings Island to a park named The Beast whose only attraction is a roller coaster named The Beast.

What is your Son Of BEAST Expirience?
Son of Beast adds a lot to the KI's skyline, even when it's not not operating. There's got to be some value there, and I can't help but think that's one reason it's still standing. There's a lot of people that visit the park that see Son of Beast from the the parking lot, and have no idea where it is once they're in the park. For all they know, when they ride The Beast or Adventure Express, it could be the ride they saw from the parking lot, which was SoB.

Freestyle Coke machines...the painting of Invertigo...new magic show...new focus on food items...all the clues are pointing to an remodel/expansion of Action Zone. Sorry, I just had to do that

I think that what is currently in that building is pretty sad...from the time you enter until the time you leave it..I think that it and the former Paramount story area of the park are two areas in desperate need of some attention.

How will $4--$5--$6.50? gasoline affect theme parks?
You know, as I sit here typing this on my iPad, I know that things that, at one time, sound impossible, are indeed possible. I found some interesting solar energy figures on a quick Internet search. According to this site http://solar.smps.us/solar-energy.html, the average amount of solar energy available on Earth is 15 watts/square foot (more of course in very sunny areas, and less in very non sunny areas). According to Motor Trend, it takes 70,000 watts to move a Chevy Volt 100 miles. 70,000/15=4,666 square feet, or about 70 by 70 feet.
