That's like saying Jimmy Swaggart was more legit than Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

As I often say, KI was there first. People who bought a house around the park knew it was there when purchasing their home; and have no room to complain about noise.

I can only say it seems to be a permanent structure being built. But I think a wooded haunt would be cool. Who knows what will happen here. Well someone knows. Lol. Maybe we can get a better look during The Beast tour at the Big Bang Banshee event? Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

From KI Twitter page Kings Island @KingsIslandPR Hmmm. https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/480407440232419328

Same here. I ate at skyline and it wouldn't work. The guy just told me to go on. So I ran out to the car later and renters with my pass. After that my meal plan worked later that night. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

In today's world of media it's better to be first to market than best to market. Therefore, small details (such as when a ride was renamed) that are irrelevant aren't thoroughly fact checked. I'm sure that die-hard Reds fans can pick apart articles about the team, Bengals fans can do the same, and so on. If you're an "expert" in the field then small factoids like that will stick out at you while the average person wouldn't even notice. But half the time they are reporting completely wrong information. Ol' Walter and Edward are rolling in their graves. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

6th Annual Coasting for Kids - Sunday, June 8
Oldschool75 replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
Ok, I wasn't going to post anything; but this has been eating at me since yesterday. I know this may ruffle some feathers, and admins may remove my post. As a continuing member of KIC, I feel this has to be mentioned. I'm not going to name the person, and what happened was confirmed as true. It just sickens me that someone on this forum would attempt to enter the Coasting for Kids event yesterday wearing last year's shirt. Without raising the minimum amount needed to participate. I usually don't like so say anything, but this event means a lot to me, an others who work hard to raise money for this organization. It's just a slap in the faces of us, Cedar Fair, and Give Kids the World. I feel it gives KIC another strike in the eyes of the park. You really need to do a self evaluation, because what you attempted to do was the lowest of the low. I'm done ranting. I know other are also fuming. Admins if you want to remove my post, go ahead. This blatant non respect that has been going on the last couple I years has to stop. I know admins can't really do much to stop it. But, I think if members that really care about this community speak up; this behavior will go away. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system. -
I've told my wife, I will probably die on a coaster. I see myself 70 years old and still riding. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Don't Fear the Coaster, Fear the Crowd (Bin Theft)

REI sells some really good quality cargo shorts. They are the dry fit material too. I plan on getting a pair. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system. -

I have my waist belt which is a little smaller than a fanny pack and have not problem. But mine is worn like a belt, so I am able to ride everything with it on. I used to have a bigger one that I never had a problem with except Banshee and Firehawk. Just depends. If it's exposed, I'm sure something would be said.

6th Annual Coasting for Kids - Sunday, June 8
Oldschool75 replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
I can't wait for Sunday. A great time, with great people, for an Awesome cause!!. For those of you that want to complain about the rule changes, all I can say is please take a good look at yourself. This is not about roller coasters, its about making a child feel good during a time of pain and fear. For those of you who are participating on Sunday( riding or not) can't wait to see you. -
That's a good thing, drink water, it's hydrating you. Grab a soda on the ride home. What is this "soda" you are talking about? I drink pop. lol

Where did you get that lol? REI in Rookwood This is what I have. http://www.rei.com/product/829847/mountainsmith-vibe-tls-waistpack But there are others, I thought about this one. http://www.rei.com/product/843404/nathan-reflective-runners-belt

I prefer my pocket belt(not a fanny pack, much smaller). Holds just my keys, phone and cards; and is looped through my belt loops. Double zipped and water proof pouch.

I bought, would be nice if you could exchange one of those meals for 2 snacks like a ice cream and funnel cake. When I go up I'm usually only there for about 4-5 hours. I don't really want to eat 2 big meals. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

I would be happy with improvements to a certain Arrow in the park; that will make the ride bearable again. I'm not sure if that would be feasible.

I can tell you the wait for Banshee is long, because it's down again. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system. **Well apparently they are removing topics that pertain to a ride being down now. The topic I started about Banshee being down was removed. ???

Yeah, they need to tell the "bigger" ride ops not to push down so hard. I made them reset the restraint the day; he pushed down so hard it was pushing on internal organs. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Unless you wear a pocket belt like I have. They tried to give my grief a couple of times. I told him I can take it off, but then I would be breaking park rules of indecent exposure. Mine is more like a money belt. If it comes off, then I would have more serious problems. Lol Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

A possible location for a flat ride?
Oldschool75 replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
At one point there was a flat there that was a little round. Hehe Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system. -
Really??? Why would they allow sharing of the meal plan? They are doing a great service by testing this at KI. But if dishonestly like this would flourish; I see the plan not being an option to buy next year. This is a for profit business. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Anyone know why Kings Island is closed this week?
Oldschool75 replied to MidnightBeast's topic in Kings Island
And I'll be heading up after work during the week.
