  1. I went exploring earlier this year. I was able to find the footers for the old Motordrome and marked them in Google maps. I also found some gas lines fro either old lamps from the motordrome. I may have also recovered some riding steel from the coaster. The parts where the coaster and motordrome were not filled in like the rest of the park in the 1970’s.
  2. This ride is only a month old. [emoji2357] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Here is the video. Looks pretty dangerous with the supports moving that much.
  4. I just wish that lockers could be paid for using apple pay since I don't take my wallet in the park anymore.
  5. So I hear KI has cinnamon bread now? Is this true?
  6. Another incident this past Saturday. https://www.whio.com/news/local/four-juveniles-arrested-following-incident-kings-island-saturday-night/W2IQJATLKFDVJF5FPOV3N4ZAQY/
  7. Having cash has no effect. You might want to research how businesses run. Most large investments are financed.
  8. The 50ft deck would be excluded from the ADA because it existed before the act. There are multiple reasons. When it rained it became very slick and there where always people slipping and getting injured m, also teens would throw stuff from that level at people down below. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I used the Sharonville Convention center in this image
  10. Here is a crude diagram I put together I think would be beneficial for KI and the area. Adding a Hotel Breakers style Hotel and enclose the wave pool to be used in the winter time by Hotel guests. Also add a Kings Island Convention Center that can hold regional events.
  11. Stimulus checks are the key to these issues. It’s Providing more spending money for those who would not usually have it. And in some cases a different social environment where crime is an everyday thing and they don’t care. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Judging by what I’ve seen this year I will take a stab and say many that usually don’t buy passes bought them with stimulus money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I had the spicy chicken sandwich at Chicken Shack. Not impressed. No spice or heat. Kinda bland and too buttery. No Mayo for the sandwich either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. You're thinking of David Long who is Cincy Photography. He also sells the video glasses and promotes taking onride video with them.

  16. That last one is a joke. That is where I believe these kids came from this past weekend. They were with the bussed in crowd.
  17. I was there yesterday. A majority of these people involved were part of the bussed in crowd and a bunch of thugs. They were not abiding by park rules all day. Smoking in the park, using really foul language, half undressed, jumping lines. I will support a raise in cost for admission and passes and do away with the payment plan. Also they need to implement a chaperone policy like KK. I hope the park reevaluates letting schools bussing in kids when it’s a 50:1 of kids per adult chaperone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Right no new construction with it. But that does not eliminate it from relocating something like Extreme sky flyer to The Vortex spot. I think that would be a smart move on the park. That would be cool to Swing over the valley that Vortex stood and fly towards The Beast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Haunt is happening this year as well as Winterfest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. They don’t make much off SS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. The park is not in the business to compete for musical acts these days. Look for TW to be gone relatively soon. I mean, check out the photos of it from Saturday, Land clearing and it literally looks like it's being torn down (just an observation)
  22. I rode it today. Wow. Best ride in over 25 years on it. Not like the early days pre-individual retrainents, but the best since then. I rode the front seat red train. Butter smooth. Floater airtime that gently brought you back down to the track instead of slamming you. I'm very impressed with Gravity Groups proprietary process to smooth this ride out. Now, maybe Beast can get some love in the next couple of years,
  23. You mean this one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Looks like another video I need to clean up. LOL
