Wow, that's the most interesting post I've read in a long time. Thanks. I'm trying to imagine the "movierail" concept.

Maybe the spirits of all the old zoo animals that used to roam that area of the park have conspired to make SoB unsuccessful. Maybe they don't like it being on their 'sacred' land.

Wow, I forgot about those bracelets. A girl I was dating and I got one of those bracelets at KI that year. Some friends I was with did. They had several people in it, so it wasn't quite as...overpriced.

Let's see... Neat jobs I would like to do just for the fun of it.... #96...caricature artist at Kings Island.

One would think that anything to do with KI has been covered at one point on KIC. However, do you ever have a caricature done of yourself or someone in your family? Have your name made out of wood at the wood shop? Do you ever play games in the arcade? Have an antique photo done? Ride the Zephyr? That's all I can think of for now!

This seems like an awfully interesting statement... http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...0107/910160339/

It's got to be the first visit of the season. This year it wasn't until June 15. After reading KIC all winter (and attending the off-season blues party!), looking at pics on the Internet, and feeling like it's been years since I've been to the park, the drive there, parking, and walking through the gates is my best memory of the park every year.

^Yes, that's true. Good point.

That's one thing I love about those rides-mostly The Beast and Adventure Express-the fact that you can't see the ride easily from the queue. I can only imagine how thrilling and suspenseful it was to ride The Beast in its early years. It seems to be an art that's completely lost now.

I got a...I think some call it a zen ride...on Flight Deck on the 25th. It was fun, but a little eerie!

BMX=Bicycle Motocross on 20 inch wheeled bicycles. FMX=Freestyle Motocross-Stunts/jumps performed on motorcycles.

I like to go to Kings Island for the rides, and the other "normal" things that are there the rest of the year. I like the fog and the music, but I could completely do without all the other mazes and the "scaracters". I would like to see more festive food-maybe like all of the pumpkin stuff you can find at the Circleville Pumpkin show. Mostly, I just like that the park is open for another month or so. I wish some sort of Winterfest would come back so I could visit even later in the year.

Lucky for me, they didn't advertise they'd extend it until next weekend. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have ended up at the park on opening night for HH.

I would hate to see what Viking Fury would look like if it was built today. Over water? Nope Intricate designs on the boat? Nope Landscaping? Probably not Nice looking wooden queue surrounded by trees and plants? Nope The same goes for Congo Falls, White Water Canyon, and Adventure Express. While these may not headliner attractions, Kings Island will feel like a much different place when they are removed.

The only thing that surprises me is that they were up as long as they were...

I've been meaning to ask that for awhile...where is the kennel? I don't think I've ever seen it...

My Beast ride after the fireworks back on July 8th was one of the best roller coaster rides I've ever had...

I'd have to say Top Gun/Flight Deck. I think I've rode it every time I've been to the park since it opened, with normally 1-4 extra rides. The Beast has to be right in there, too.

I'm just glad there's some project going on to keep everyone speculating throughout the offseason...

I know I'm in the extreme minority, but I think this is one of the neatest ride announcements I've seen. I hope Kings Island gets one.

Wow, I didn't know it was still there. Anyone have a pic?

I wondered how long it would be before amusement parks got into the "green" thing: http://www.wtoctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=10924889

It seems like seat belts are usually as just a "back-up".
