Wow, I SO read that wrong. I was thinking "Run KI for a day? They are letting some random person take over the park for a day?" My mind isn't right today.. but then again, when is it?

My dad works at Copeland in Sidney, and he gets one day tickets for $10 because they have their annual company picnic in the picnic grove. I agree with the slam on Meijer. I worked (er, slaved) there for 2 years. I'm surprised I stayed that long with the way they treated me.. I'm disgusted with the place to the point where I refuse to shop there. I wouldn't go back if they offered me $20/hr.

I can't wait to see all of this in person.. I bet the photos (amazing as they are) don't do it justice. Things like this really make you appreciate all the hard work everyone puts into the park and the website.

ZOMG THIS IZ MY 1038TH POST, LOOK AT ME, I WANT ATTENTION AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously.. who cares? I'm going to laugh so hard when this pointless, idiotic, and rather immature thread is finally locked.

As far as B&Ms, I've only been on Raptor (floorless) and Mantis (stand up). Mantis was painful on my calves. Raptor pulls some sweet Gs and is a lot of fun.

Gosh it seems like yesterday that I was looking at a muddy clearing thinking they were building a new log flume.. then refusing to believe it when I saw rumors circulating about a B&M hyper being built at my beloved home park, and screaming in delight when I realized it was true. We get to ride it 1 week from today.. it all seems so surreal.

I vote YES! I always have to get either blue ice cream or a blue Icee. My addiction is borderline severe.

That seriously made my heart skip a beat. This is going to be the longest week of my life.

I'm taking it as it comes.. I don't really plan my day at an amusement park. There was one time, on my way up to CP, I was stoked about riding MF until I got there, and then for some reason as soon as I got to the park, TTD looked supremely appealing. I rode it 6 times that day and only rode MF once. So who knows? I do want to ride DB at least once, but I also want to hit Drop Tower, FOF, Beast, Slingshot, first ride on Skyflyer, Invertigo (yes, I like it), and Delirium. Gosh I miss KI so much.. that and several of my CP friends are coming down. I'm so excited for opening day. I miss you guys!!

I wasn't talking about you and you know it. *points* Terpy is being mean to me! *cries and runs away* I do appreciate the grammar correction though. I'll correct my post as needed.

I joined a little over 8 months ago and have over 1k posts, but that is because I am a very enthusiastic and opinionated person with a lot to say. I couldn't care less about post count.. I post so much that I don't even realize when I make it to the next level on here. It irritates me how some people think this is a posting race, so they litter the forums with 946 billion irrelevant one word posts, and make it worse by announcing in bold italic 96 point font that "Z0MGZ they has reached they're 100,000th post." Honestly, who cares? I've seen people with less than 10 posts make a heck of a lot more sense than a lot of what I read on here.

I had one ride op push my lap bar down so hard that it cracked the sunglasses I had in my pocket. They just happened to be my Fossil sunglasses. A friend of mine had the touch screen on his cell phone cracked when a ride op did that to him.

Kudos to Cedar Point. As if I wasn't already in love with the park enough.

That first hill intimidates the living heck out of a lot of people, so that is why they staple. One night I rode very back seat on MF, left like 2 inches of space between myself and the bar, and gave my seatbelt a few inches of slack. My butt left the seat for 3 straight seconds on the first drop, and got some nice air on all three hills.. yes, even the bunny hill by the station. I highly suggest riding in the extreme rear seat, especially at night. Getting yanked over that first hill and through all the elements in the dark at 93 mph is an experience.

It is mainly due to the fact that people staple themselves. Leave an inch or so of space between you and the lapbar, and don't yank the seatbelt so tightly that it cuts off your circulation. I have always gotten air on MF. Heck, I even get air on TTD's top hat because I DO NOT STAPLE MYSELF. Even so, there is more to a ride than airtime.

Coming from the same person who said the first rider tees look cheap, I see. You must be a hard one to impress. The sign looks fantastic, I like it.

All I have to say is that after riding DB, if it is comparable at all to MF, it will very definitely be on the top of my list of favorites. - Angie, who bolts for MF first 9 times out of 10 when she makes her 3 hour trips to CP

I too am sorry that some people fail to understand that the website caters to a wide audience which includes people who prefer serious, educated, and understandable coaster discussion. It is amazing how some people will throw a tantrum instead of realizing that you are trying to help. My first posts were horrible: all lowercase, no punctuation. It didn't take long for me to notice that I was not getting a serious response to my posts, so I started typing properly because I want to stay here. I believe that proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation is a reflection on how well educated you are. It's even worse when people are educated but choose to type like "z0mg meleniem f0rc3 is t3h pwnz0r." No serious coaster enthusiast wants to come in here and read something that looks like a cat just walked across someone's keyboard. I say if you are serious enough about Kings Island to join this website, you should be serious enough to follow the rules and guidelines.

Wow, I haven't checked this thread in a long time. The QUEUE is coming along nicely.

LOL I'm the same way. I drank 4 beers and got right on Vortex and Drop Tower, and was fine. On a blazing hot day at CP, I drank 3 bottles of water in line for Raptor and was fine. My friend and I also stuffed ourselves at KI's Backyard BBQ last year, then hit BLSC, FOF, and Firehawk, then she got sick.. I was fine.

Rain schmain, it's just water and it goes away eventually! Ain't nothin gonna stop this girl from visiting her beloved home park on its grand reopening day!

Ugh.. I remember my first trip to Cedar Point. It was literally a downpour from here all the way to Sandusky for 4 straight hours. When we got there, there were people in raincoats leaving and telling us as we walked in not to waste our money.. it was raining that hard. I'll wait out whatever weather is thrown at us. I'm not missing opening day for anything.

How will members here have a way of proving at the gate that they are a KIC member, much less a member before February 1, if they are not a member of any other approved coaster club?
