Doesn't it seem slightly dino-shaped? I can sort of make out a neck, torso, and the beginning of the tail?

If it were about SoB, the hints wouldn't nearly all be about an area in Coney Mall, unless they're moving SoB.

I have never found visits to KI on a weekday to be very crowded. I love driving down there after school- even Firehawk was walk-on sometimes.

I kind of doubt they'll install a Setpoint. Exhibit A:

See What's Round In Sandusky
CedarPointer replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I did *not* know that was there! I will most definitely have to make a visit there next time I'm in Sandusky. -
Personal Belongings On Roller Coasters at KI
CedarPointer replied to KILateNighter's topic in Kings Island
I got some on sale a while ago at the Van Heusen outlet, they've worked really well, and they have multiple zippered pockets. -
Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
CedarPointer replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
It was something the German club brought in, not something the school brought in. I can't imagine if the school made it- it might be worse than their chicken barfesan. What I'm saying is that I doubt German food would be more popular than pizza and Chinese food. Just a guess. -
Is "Coney Cafe" today's Jukebox?

Onpoint! blog
CedarPointer replied to PhantomTheater's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Or, she volunteered to do it so they reopened the blog. The Facebook posts always seem to have a lot of comments- far more than I ever have seen on the blog entries. -
Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
CedarPointer replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
If Festhaus smelled like sauerkraut, I would never step foot in there again. I remember the time they had sauerkraut at my school and everyone thought the sewer had backed up. -
6. They're trying to mess with enthusiasts who like to start rumors.

I think I see Action Theater, behind about halfway up WindSeeker's tower. There's something that looks like it has an Action Theater shaped roof. WindSeeker's circle of swings is at the top of the tower, so that's not what that is.

2011 Rides Guidebook? Rides Employees, I need help.
CedarPointer replied to skaterboy22101's topic in Kings Island
Unless something really changes this season, the website isn't nearly as helpful as you may think. Check out the Meet our CEO page, it seems a bit confused about just what park he's meeting... -
2011 Rides Guidebook? Rides Employees, I need help.
CedarPointer replied to skaterboy22101's topic in Kings Island
You get the guidebook when you process or during your training. Unless, of course, rides is like food, where you never get the department one. -
Old Paramount (Viacom) vs. Cedar Fair Managments at KI
CedarPointer replied to KILateNighter's topic in Kings Island History
And this is why I think anyone who complains about something unreasonable and asks for free stuff should be banned from the property. There's some customers not worth having- if all they are going to do is complain, their money might not be worth the stress it causes for Guest Relations and the employees. There's a lot of companies where I don't think realize that managers overruling the employees makes the employee unhappy. If I say no to something which policy says we can't do, and one of the managers comes up behind me and says I should do it, it makes me look like an idiot in front of the guest. I don't think anyone appreciates that. For example, a guest once asked me to give him water in a Coke cup, which we aren't allowed to do unless they buy it as a soft drink. Don't ask me why, but I'm paid to follow the rules that the park makes. Then, one of the managers comes up behind me and apologizes to the guest for my "attitude" (EXCUSE ME?), and gave him a 32oz cup of water, then says "Sorry" to me and walks away. Sometimes, the customer does, in fact, need to be told that they're wrong... politely, of course, but still... -
Old Paramount (Viacom) vs. Cedar Fair Managments at KI
CedarPointer replied to KILateNighter's topic in Kings Island History
There's some cases where I think guests need to learn that they need to be polite, too. I refuse to be polite to someone who just accused me of stealing money from a small child, or someone who calls me an "stupid idiot" because she didn't realize a free drink wristband got her free drinks. We aren't punching bags. I wouldn't be obviously rude, but I'm certainly not going to say "Thank you, have a nice day!" after someone insults me. -
Old Paramount (Viacom) vs. Cedar Fair Managments at KI
CedarPointer replied to KILateNighter's topic in Kings Island History
I've seen Paramount handle things badly too. I never went to KI under Paramount, but I did once see multiple ride associates ignoring a crying child who had fallen and scraped his knee. (and no, they weren't ride ops, they were greeters) The only time I've seen anything bad at KI under CF is during the first few weekends. It's impossible to expect perfection out of someone who probably has never held a job before and has almost no experience dealing with customers. They can't train you on how to deal with a lady screaming at you because she thinks the free cups of water are too small. You need experience for things like that. BTW, I doubt many of the employees are trying to give wrong information. I have said things which I honestly thought were correct, but turned out not to be. -
Seriously, this topic has NOTHING to do with Diamondback or Beast. I'd like to see some upgrades on Crypt, but I'd like to see a new ride even more.

I think it would be easy to upgrade the park's lighting by just adding some LED floodlights onto the top of the buildings. Looks decent and it would create a lot of light.

Men Accused of Stealing Scrap Metal From Kings Island
CedarPointer replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
My punishment? Make 'em work at KI until they pay KI back. Should only take 7 years or so... -
Or not break the posted rules. But, oh well, whatever...

Perhaps because it's a picture of a sign. There's a difference between a sign and a graphic used to draw visitors into your website...

2011 Gold Pass ERT includes WindSeeker and Vortex

This sums it up nicely. -
2011 Gold Pass ERT includes WindSeeker and Vortex
CedarPointer replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
Agreed. As far as I can guess, the rest of the park isn't finished with their opening procedures by 9:30/9:00 and they don't want to just open the whole park and disrupt that. Also, I think a lot of people who have day tickets would be upset if they went over to a non-ERT ride and there was already a huge line because of ERT (Like TTD at CP).
