First thing I thought of was a parade. Not a huge addition but it is bringing something back. Maybe they just mean they are bringing back The Beast's foot prints on the midway.

Probably cutting away at some midway so no one sticks there hands anywhere near the track. -
Welcome to KICentral. If you are around roller coasters a lot then you should be fine. They will ask you some questions like what do you think is most important while doing your job? Safety. They will give you some situations and ask you what you response would be. They asked me that if they were to call my past employer what trait they would say was best about me. For rides try to have the whole safety and responsible mind set. If you don't understand the question try to make up an answer that sounds good. Don't say "Well I don't know?" I don't really remember the questions besides those. Hope I helped.

We tried to keep the SOB sign pretty up to date. When one or two of us would go on break we would check the line and move the arrow to the right time. And during the Haunt when we had one person out at greeter, I know I would always try to keep the time about correct. It was hard though to keep it accurate. Disney's system works very well plus you feel special when they give you one of the red cards to take through.

^Ohhhhhh that would be nice. Then the entrace side of the station would work well because if there isn't a single rider line over there then they don't need an attendent to tell people where to sit. I hope you are right. -

Yeah that sounds pretty good to me. At least they aren't forcefully dumping you off into a gift shop like a lot of parks. Plus I hate the build up at the photo booths and you can't get by like at SOB. I know which path I will be taking lots of times opening day. -

Why are there 2 paths for the exit? Is one going to be a ramp for wheel chairs and stuff and the other stairs? -

I think that might be because dive machine track is huge. That's just what I think. -
Where to start...sigh. First of all, it was NOT the Royal Fountain...which has never had such an incident, but rather the pond over in Oktoberfest behind what is now Outer Hanks. Second, he didn't fall in, by all accounts, but was in fact intoxicated and apparently decided to go for a swim. His would be rescuer also died. And the electrocution was apparently caused by lack of a ground fault interruption system...which was immediately corrected...This all happened the same day that the woman fell from Flight Commander and died...she was also intoxicated, and apparently may have been watching the activity over in Oktoberfest...when she slipped from the restraints somehow and plunged to her death. That day has since been known as Black Sunday at Kings Island.... When was this Sunday? I remember the woman that fell from Flight Commander but never the men in the pod. I never knew so many died at KI..... eek! Ummm actually you are all wrong. Here's what it says on the KICentral Timeline.

I've been back there on a little short-cut on the way back from break. We went over next to the FOF exit and went through a gate. Behind the race, underneath the AE station and on a path back behind the go carts. There's already a little maintenance path so I don't think it would be that hard. Just get rid of those go carts that are a waste of space. -
Ghosts on the Eiffel Tower? I've never heard that one. I think I've only heard the sinking Vortex one. Someone just started a new thread about that on one of my other sites. I'm not even going to bother looking at it.

That would be awesome but I don't even think he knows anything about it. -

A coaster that I have had different experiences on is SOB I guess. Riding it as a guest near the back was real rough but test riding before the park opened in the front with the whole train to myself was amazing.

^I actually loved Minderaser in my old park. The out of control feeling is great. Plus it wasn't as bad in the front. -
