Much of the HB merchandise has "Paramount Parks" on it. That's why it's on sale.

I prefer the Front/Back, but the Front/Back is also okay.

There's also one across from Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle in Nickelodeon Universe.

It couldn't be worse than riding it forwards!

Does Phantom Flyers at Carowinds operate the same way that the Eagles did at KI, or did they "tone them down"? (Why couldn't they have made them OUR Phantom Flyers?)

When you think about it, Action Theater has had Spongebob for almost half of its life. They could also add some theming- a few crates spraypainted bright colors with "Krabby Patties", "Pickles", etc. written on them. That wouldn't take too much out of the theming budget, would it?

I would like to either see SoB be totally revamped with new trains, new track, and maybe (I know this would never happen) the readdition of the loop OR removed and replaced in a few years. I honestly would like SoB to be an enjoyable ride.

I hope Action Theater gets a new movie. I think a return of Smash Factory is in order...

Both of those seem to be true on KIC as of late...

The Fun and Safety Guide pole has literally been removed? Bad sign...

There were people in the IR?

Steel: 1. Diamondback 2. Flight of Fear 3. Vortex (5-1) 4. Vortex (7-1) 5. Flight Deck 6. Adventure Express 7. Firehawk 8. Rugrats Runaway Reptar 9. Avatar The Last Airbender 10. Little Bill's Giggle Coaster Wood: 1. The Beast 2. Racer Red 3. Racer Blue 4. Fairly Odd Coaster 5. Son of Beast

GCI is probably the track work on Mean Streak. Aren't they supposed to be doing major work on MS this coming offseason?

One of the things that I like is when a crew handles downtime well by making it entertaining for guests. Flight of Fear's crew is great at this. The unloader came into the UFO and was announcing to the crowd in the hangar that "some aliens got the last train full of people and we need to go make sure that the aliens aren't still hungry!"

I think the only thing that could have been handled better was that it wasn't exactly clear that you couldn't watch from the area between the bandstand and Tower Drinks. There were enough employees, one of them could have told everyone that they had to move instead of expecting us to ask. Still got a good spot (across from Glass Blower's shop) in spite of that, though.

I think the removal of the entrance and Fun and Safety Guide are more of a hint than the removal of the main sign.

I honestly didn't think that FOC would get more votes than SoB. And, there's no need to be so touchy about SoB. It is not built from gold, you know. I don't flip out if someone says something negative about FOF or Diamondback, my two favorite coasters at the park.

That photo line moved slower than Firehawk's.

I have to say, I would not be surprised in the least if CF removed it without warning. They already got loads of bad press after the SoB and FH incidents, I could just imagine this splattered on the front page of a certain newspaper: "Kings Island to Remove Unsafe Rollercoaster After Two Broken Necks, One Death".

CP already has a hyper, so the only thing I could see them getting is a flyer. Maybe it would even have a high capacity!

Does it say "Paramount's Kings Island"?

Good Time Theater is a former IMAX theater. In fact, you still walk through part of the IMAX while going in (preshow?). Note that the ticket stub on ESOI's prosceneium arch says "Beaglemania- Good Time Theater- Aug 2006". Also:

I have a feeling that they already know the fate of SoB. Don't be surprised when you see a topic over the winter titled "SoB IS GONE!!" with pictures of a wrecking ball in its spot. King Cobra what?

Snoopy's Big Bow-Wow is a horrible name, but a good show. (I really didn't want to know how big Snoopy's bow-wow was...)
