I have a new level of respect for whoever is answering these questions.

The whole 5@5 thing has really changed my opinion of KI's PR department. At first, I was just expecting them to answer self-glorifying questions submitted by park employees and other people who have a relationship with the park. I was never expecting it to turn out the way that it did.

Maybe there's a reason for that.

Ha. Someone has a sense of humor!

Most likely, imo, your friendly neighborhood ride op. Or the person who does the spiels for the rest of the park.

My question got answered- cool!

Sounds like KI thinks that's what the point is...

I've heard that they're planning a Hurlfest at Kings Island, immediately following Terpy's visit to the Panda Express!

Oh dear, they haven't noticed the "issue" with the name, have they?

And, at the same time, admitting that Snoopy is not well-known with today's kids.

There is also a van which looks similar to the Snoopy one, but I can't ever recall seeing it from anywhere but the Eiffel Tower. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? http://www.visitkingsisland.com/attractions/category.cfm?ac_id=72 Interesting... "We have set a goal to introduce Snoopy to ONE MILLION PEOPLE outside the park this year. Tri-state area residents are certainly familiar with Snoopy and the PEANUTS gang but many have never actually met them. "We want to make sure everyone in the region understands who Snoopy is," Kings Island's Vice President and General Manager Greg Scheid said."

Firehawk can be a walk on certain weekends near the beginning of the year. In fact, every ride in the park can be a walkon those days...

What was wrong with the WWC coin machine?

Isn't that the Diamondback veichle?

I'm checking out Action Theater and SDatHC first.

I wasn't saying that they didn't remove anything, but they did install some landscaping. Some of it is in a bizzare spot (the two strips around the splashdown), but it's better than how the Firehawk area looks.

You, sir, owe me one bottle of monitor cleaner.

Yes, you can get into the ERT with a CF Platinum Pass. http://visitkingsisland.com/events/events.cfm?ec_id=33

I seem to recall them planting some trees in Diamondback's area... (but not in Firehawk's... so we're one for one.)

The thing is, there are alternatives to going with a cartoon character. Fairy tales are timeless, and they would likely not require a license, which even Snoopy does! Also, they could turn NU into a Junior Kings Island (Kids Island?) area, Reptar could be Flight Deck, Plankton could be Drop Zone, and they could add a small Eiffel Tower in one of the plaza-ish areas.

I can never see IR realistically becoming a restaurant again. Because of the view, it would be just too small, so they would need to raise prices to control the number of people who can eat there.

I have personally witnessed a child vomit in the pond. The fish had a feeding frenzy. I was horrified.

did any1 els see that 1 kid on teh deamondbackh who yalled "Cedar Fair SUX SELL TEH PARK BAK TO PARAMOUND!" going down teh lyft hall?

No, that person was by himself in the park at the time, so nobody saw him.

I miss Discovery Zone. I used to go there SO MUCH! I finally found a kids product with Snoopy on it! Unfortunately, it's a small bottle of hand sanitizer from Toys R Us, which also sells laptop toys shaped like Spongebob and Dora...
