CedarPointer

Courtesy of my good ol' McDougal Littell Geometry book, the same book that talked about "the Milenium Force". Does anyone else notice the three major problems with this "water ride"? And, if this is part of it, I wonder what the rest looks like!

I think the logo is okay, but... a. it's obviously inspired by the TV Guide logo. The last thing CF needs at the moment is a lawsuit over that... and, b. I was expecting something a lot more cartoony- like the Action Theater logo, sort of.

The first things that comes to mind is a certain quote from a certain yellow sponge... ♫it just gets better and better♫

No. We even have a Giant Top Spin for kids!

When the whole WWW debacle happened, I felt kind of bad for the guy. That's becoming increasingly less so.

If it makes you feel better, I once saw an adult puke after riding Little Bill (that sounds dirty). I've also seen a protein spill on Cedar Creek Mine Ride...

My Geometry book talks about "The Milenium Force" at Cedar Point. One time my US History teacher talked about the Antique Cars at KI... except he was just sure that they drove guests around the entire park... on the pedestrian paths... I didn't have the heart to correct him.

Does anyone else ever use jokes that only people who know a lot about KI would understand? For example... One time, I was in front of someone who also is obsessed with KI in my school's lunch line. I was putting toppings on my burger, and when I picked a pickle slice up with the tongs, I turned around and said "Hey! The last one!". Hilarity ensued. I've also been known to make the occasional SoB reference when referring to something bad (that test was a real son of a beast...).

Actually... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_-TvRpB3v4

That shirt has been sold in the park in the past.

I'll miss the guy. He was good for some laughs to distract me from doing my history vocab.

Rollercoasters are one of the safest forms of transportation. Millions of riders per year, with very few accidents. Oh, and, btw, if the TTD launch cable steam is "smoke", then...

That site is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. I certainly have never seen an "unskilled volunteer" working at a KI ride. And the "smoke" (steam)... that one doesn't even need my commentary, as it basically sums up the entire site in one paragraph.

I hope so. It'll make DB look a lot less like it was placed in NU.

http://www.visitkingsisland.com/events/event_detail.cfm?event_id=386&ec_id=15 Quick! What's the first thing you notice about that picture? Did someone seriously not notice that, or does one of KI's graphic designers just have a good sense of humor? (and yes, it is from 2010)

And, if you visit kingsisland.com, that still doesn't link to the park. (but if you visitkingsisland.com, it does!)

I'm guessing the postcards (postcards?) were made before the ride was actually operational. Same reason they'd use Behemoth as a stand-in for Diamondback. As long as it's at least similar (Kennywood, I'm looking at you.), I don't really have a huge problem with it. Unless, you know, they left the other park's name in the picture.

It should be interesting to see whether they carry through with all the theming shown in the video or if they pull another Maverick. Given CF's financial state, I'd lean toward the latter.

That's really sad. I guess I should have gone last summer.

And you can see "Domini" on the other side of the raft.

Says Mr. Hugh More. Remember, CF came up with "Beaver Land Mine Ride".

I recieved an email saying that the park would like to interview me, but can't until I am actually 16, and to email them back two weeks before my birthday. It seems like he should be okay to apply, but he probably couldn't start the season, since he can't even be interviewed until April.

The sad is that that particular slogan may have actually come up as an idea at one point.
