So we're calling it Action FX Theater again now? I doubt many people outside of KIC will care. Honestly, when's the last time you saw Action (FX?) Theater not nearly empty.
-
I thought it was on purpose, but the sign at RPW is spelled right. Remember, we've had an "Airbrush Tee's" sign for quite a while... Seems like spelling on sign's isn't exactly King's Islands strong pointe.

2011-2012 Offeason: What would you like to see? THE POLL
CedarPointer replied to McSalsa's topic in KI Polls
I'd love to see a coaster and general park improvements. I don't really enjoy visiting Boomerang Bay (not a fan of waterparks here) so I don't know what it needs, from the walking around I've done there it seems like a small slide complex, another restroom (?), and another food stand (Outback Shack has looked jammed whenever I've been there). I think some repainting and repaving in Action Zone would do wonders, and some new lighting and new paint on International Street (including a revamp of the main gate) would also look amazing. -
I wish they'd integrate Timberwolf into Action Zone. New name, new paint with brighter colors, and new seats would do a lot for it. Also, the old lights that are a holdover from the pre-AZ days need to go.

The fireworks go off at 10pm on midnight close days.

If they played country in Rivertown, people would complain about that, too.

Ky's Floral Clock Turns 50....and
CedarPointer replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I miss the rest of the floral clock. I would rather have the full clock than Christmas lights on it. -
They must have had different hiring or training techniques this year, because I can't think of a single rude employee I saw, as opposed to quite a few I saw during the first few weekends last year.
-
They sold them there last year, I recall seeing the signs that say "We Use Peanut Oil", which they use for the fresh-cut fries. I kinda miss the old name, Coney Potato Works is rather generic.
-
I can't remember, did they ever say who the people in the video clips actually were? I know from reading here, but I think a lot of guests might wonder who they are. A introduction to the people in the clips might help. They might have had one and I just forgot, though. I did like that they added a common theme to the show.

If you had a chance to "fix" the somewhat disjointed theme of Oktoberfest, what would you do? Try to keep it somewhat realistic- tearing down Festhaus and installing a stratacoaster isn't probably something the park would do. I would eliminate Oktoberfest entirely. Outer Hanks is pretty much part of Coney Mall anyway, so Coney Mall would extend down to Adventure Express's entrance (I know it doesn't fit the theme of Coney Mall, but it doesn't fit the theme of Oktoberfest either). The remaining area would be considered part of International Street. Viking Fury would stay unchanged. Festhaus would get a new name but keep LaRosa's and Panda Express. I would install a third food stand in place of the current restrooms. restrooms in place of every empty spot in Festhaus. I'd also remove the current tables and benches in favor of seating similar to a mall's food court. The stage would still be used for the current shows. Edit:

Don't the legacy CF parks not have metal detectors at all? They're doing okay... (The ones I've been to don't have them. I don't know about Dorney, MA, or Knott's though.)

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
CedarPointer replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Maybe they're more concerned about the ride being open on time than they are about fixing a webcam. -
Nope, it was Midway Treats and Eats last year. (and this year's map still refers to it as that!)
-
People would just throw trash in the pond instead of the empty trough. This is why we can't have nice things anymore.
-
That's a great pic. I'd bet many people who ride The Beast have no clue that the trough that's filled with trash and silly bandz used to actually have water in it.

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
CedarPointer replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Am I the only one who would rather have those lights on the Eiffel Tower than WindSeeker? They look great on WindSeeker, but I'd like way more to see the Eiffel Tower lit up at night again from the front. -

Just like every year, it's a buyout day. Edit: Every RECENT year.

Ah, I see they've updated the Shows page since I last looked. Thanks
