Line jumping (and smoking in line, cell phone use on rides, and PDAs) should really be zero-tolerance... do it once and your season pass is revoked. But that would make too much sense. Especially smoking, which IMO should be banned from the park totally (it would make it easier to enforce, instead of telling a smoker they needed to put it out, they could simply take the offending items )

I think it's a given you will be working after school! Not with people I dislike

No, it means I don't have to worry about working after school.

They can't do anything about it if they don't see it, or if they have multiple, separate groups who agree with you. It's a lot worse at Canada's Wonderland, trust me.

I think I should point out, if you don't like the newer tall style of cup, PLEASE let GR know. They're not going to change them back if nobody complains. Also, please know that the food employees aren't exactly huge fans of them either, so we don't need to hear about why you don't like them... we agree with you but can't really tell you that. They don't fit under the drink machines, so we need to hold them at an angle instead of putting them down as they fill, which also means they overflow and get our hands sticky.

Oh, joy.

Thin is good, actually. It doesn't break as easily as the DB cups did, also the carriers and straws don't get lost nearly as easily. I personally like anything that fits under the drink machine without removing the ice tray, which is pretty much everything except the 2011 cups. If it doesn't fit under the drink machine, maybe that's a sign that it's too big...?

I can't believe that the instructions posted next to many of the phones that say PKI on them are still there. So easy to change...

1. I think the credit card thing is more difficult to change, since it's not totally controlled by the park. 2. The original logo? Yes. Not where guests can see it, but yes. 3. The PKI phone menu only showed up when you "broke" the real phone menu ("Thank you for calling Kings Island and including us in your vacation and entertainment plans...") and got into what supposedly the phone menu for the park's internal phone system. (Try calling the park's public phone number and pressing *...) 3. Paychecks don't say Paramount Parks anymore. They've said Kings Island since at least 2010, but direct deposit didn't say Kings Island until this year.

Remember how the TVs left in The Beast station looked last year? Those TVs would mostly be broken by now, and the Pantel TVs that are in DB's line are really expensive, they'd need to sell quite a few Fast Lane wristbands to make up for the cost of just one. http://panteltv.com/outdoorproducts.html

It's a glass made by a marketing person who's probably never ridden any of the listed rides. I wouldn't give it too much thought.

That reminds me... you know, it's funny seeing a shipping label that says "PARAMOUNT'S Kings Island WindSeeker 2011".

No, they actually kept it at the park. It's what the metal backings for the employee nametags are made from. (I love starting stupid rumors)

"Do you have root beer?" "No." "Ok, then I'll have root beer."

I always thought it still drifted, just a little bit.

If you look at a receipt from the bar at Outer Hanks Bar it still refers to "Hank's Favorite" as "Forrest's Favorite".

Every time someone wonders why KI's (and everywhere else's) Dippin Dots are so expensive... http://www.dippindots.com/products/lines/originalDots.html $30 per gallon... I wonder how much blue ice cream costs per gallon! (I never understood why I would pay more for Dippin Dots than regular ice cream for a much smaller portion. But I guess that's just me. Or maybe not.)

My English class had a lengthy discussion today about how Vortex is sinking and WS opened late because the water dummies all fell out during testing. I don't think I can spend the rest of the year with that class.

I still have a strong, strong suspicion that CF was going to try doing that... look at all the original Cedar Fair KI logos that have the corporate logo with the two coasters crossing and "Cedar Fair Entertainment Company" underneath.

Snoopy Rocks On Ice? Gosh, that sounds familiar.

This one doesn't seem like their fault, though.

It's a "people are going to believe what they want to believe".

Unpopular compared to the rest of the rides at CP. I'd bet that it has one of the worse operating cost to ridership/popularity ratios in the park... Although I guess means there'll be more explaining where my username came from...

I can see how this is a win win on CP's part. A new money-making attraction to replace a old, money-guzzling, fairly unpopular (with the GP) ride.

What fuel do the boats run on?
