Yesterday, I heard Flight of Fear called "Space Mountain", "Alien Encounter", and "Fear of Flight".

Coaster Battle #3: Red Racer vs. Blue Racer vs. Blue Streak
CedarPointer replied to McSalsa's topic in KI Polls
Blue Streak by far. In my opinion, The Racer is boring in most rows. Blue Streak is a true hidden gem. -
The sign was most likely removed early to end the confusion of people going up FD/SoB's exit thinking it was SoB's entrance.

-Action Theater's spiel no longer works. -Action Theater plays in 2D about half the time. -Action Theater's lights no longer turn off one row at a time. -When Flight of Fear is broken down, the queue video freezes and the music turns off. -Firehawk's queue is miserable in the heat. -There is currently a Spongebob plush toy on top of Flight of Fear's UFO. -The Beast doesn't seem to open for ERT every day. -During ERT, the center fountains on I-Street are off.

I now understand the negative sentiment about KI's food service.
CedarPointer replied to CedarPointer's topic in Kings Island
Yeah. It seems like, for every shining review I hear about KI's food, I hear five negative ones. If KI's food were cheap, I wouldn't be as disappointed. But, when a burger costs over $8, I would expect at least decent customer service. I've gotten better service at a hole-in-the-wall rundown restaurant than I got at I-Street's Skyline. Not to say that it never has good service, but it didn't today. We got cups of water with cheese and chilli in them, and had to go nag the employees to get another box of forks out. Oh, and I got yelled at for taking two packets of hot sauce. -
Sorry, I was going by the Coney Island billboard for The Racer. Forgot that it wasn't accurate.

Vortex: First to have six inversions. Flight of Fear: First LIM-launched coaster. Reptar: First kids inverted coaster. Racer: Tallest/fastest.

^Really. I've been to Skylines at Dayton Mall, Kings Mills Rd, and in Centerville, and all three were better than KI's. They had forks, for one. It was truly a teen-run show. I think the employee forgot to go and check. -
My group waited 30 minutes today for milkshakes at Jukebox Diner. Yes, 30 minutes. And it was not crowded. In fact, we were the only ones in the place. We went up and complained, and suddenly, there they were! Apparently they had been sitting outside for quite a while. That made me happy, considering how many bees I see swarm around the ICEE machines. (The food at Skyline was good, however!)

Six Flags Over Georgia goes green
CedarPointer replied to KIfan73's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
And raise the admission and food prices even more? I care more about the green in my wallet than whether or note KI is green. -
Don't forget Action Theater. Pictures of SBNO SoB:

CedarPointer replied to KIfan73's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Many attractions at KI use CFLs. Some of them are Diamondback, Flight Deck, and Thrill Seekers. -
Why are we assuming that something will be put in SoB's place? Leaving it SBNO is cheaper than reopening it, overhauling it, OR tearing it down and immediately putting in a new attraction.

LSM Launch Coaster for Kennywood
CedarPointer replied to Beast1979's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
There was also footage of a Vekoma Boomerang, lol. -
It never breaks down? Yeah, and SoB is "glass-smooth". (I actually have an article written by an ACE member that describes SoB as being glass-smooth. Did he actually ride it?) Action Theater = "Moving Seats: THE RIDE" Shake Rattle and Roll = "Spinning Wheels" The Beast = "Forest Runner"
-
Coney Mall looks completely different now.
-
Firehawk could be named "Bird On Fire That Breaks Down A Lot".

LSM Launch Coaster for Kennywood
CedarPointer replied to Beast1979's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Maybe they'll finally offer season passes! Looks interesting. I couldn't help but giggle when the word "Delirium" was used... -
In other words, different from a similar event at Cedar Point. I inadvertantly visited CP during it. Never again. It... was horrible.
-
That's not a good reason. They're getting almost as bad as Six Flags.
-
At least they're honest about SoB's fate now. "We'll decide what to do with it..." and not "It'll be reopening next year"? Bye, SoB...
-
There is no reason that Firehawk can't have bins in the station. Almost all the other coasters do.
-
"It is extremely noticable!" "Diamond-Back" ...wow.
