Hey, we're dealing with the masters of hiding things guests shouldn't see here. The only reason I doubt that is that it seems like it'd have a pretty big impact on the capacity of the park. And the number of people who would be upset about Star Tours and SM being closed. Also, the monorail is in TL.

Wasn't the 1998 Astro Orbitor supposed to go on top of the Rocket Rods platform, but they discovered that the platform couldn't support the weight?

My guess is because guests wouldn't realize it was broken down, wonder why the line wasn't moving, then be angry that they were allowed to enter the line and waste their time.

I don't think your friend is being totally honest with you.

At least it looked somewhat decent in concept.

Some of those look suspiciously like someone bought the sticker set and stuck them on some lighters. The only "official" ones I ever saw were etched, not color.

You're supposed to save your 2012 pass, because it has been reactivated for the 2013 season.

It's Woodstock Express.

What an interesting diversion this will be...

Well, there goes one of my sources of entertainment.

I might be wrong, but I thought Jukebox Diner sold the same seasoned fries that Hanks used to.

I'm not Don, but in the past you were always allowed to use old cups, as long as they said Kings Island on them. Nevermind, interesting...

The platinum vouchers work at the "wrong" parks, but you'll have to fill out the information sheet again most of the time.

KD really likes one train op. They won't run a second unless there's a line.

That's what I don't like. If they had NextGen initiatives that fit into the parks well (Haunted Mansion queue is a perfect example of this not being done- Space Mountain queue is an example of doing it right) and weren't so creepy (George Orwell is rolling in his grave), I wouldn't mind it as much. But the whole xPass/FP+ thing is a mess. Between adding it to rides that should not have a FP line (Spaceship Earth, Imagination, Seas, Haunted Mansion) and forcing you to schedule much of your vacation months in advance (dining reservations, anyone), they've gone a bit far. A centralized FP system is a great idea, but scheduling set times might not be the right answer.

NextGen is so lovely.

Keep in mind how close Knott's is to Disneyland. Since CF knew they couldn't compete with Disney at theming, they tried to go after those who want thrills instead.

No.

Does this mean we can speed the bumper cars up now?

Next time we hear that Mr. Ouimet will visit Kings Island, we should get a group to gather between Jukebox Diner + the ball toss and start shouting out things like 'Great flying number 3!' and 'yeah number 7!', while a few of us run in circles periodically jumping.

If you look in the grate in the center of the ship, there's ceiling tiles. They're not very well hidden.

I applied for Admissions Associate, Dinosaurs Alive Associate, and Rides Associate. Admissions is a really great team. It can be a bit stressful, but it's one of the better departments.
