  1. So does every team get free tickets to KI or something? If not, I fail to see how a softball tournament in Mason will generate thousands of extra people coming thru the front gate.

    The page linked in post #9 above indicates that participants can purchase discounted tickets to KI. And besides, we're dealing with 10- to 14-year-olds here. They're going to want to relax and have fun when not playing, and KI is the obvious choice. Also, don't forget that there are teams coming from as far away as Georgia for this tournament. The kids will want to see the local attractions, and that naturally includes KI.

    Sorry but a baseball tournament isnt going to generate thousands of extra guests. A few hundred is more like it.

  2. ...This leads me to believe that the emergency stop switch does not just cut power in some fashion, but triggers the blowing of a fuse which needs replacement. If this is so, it seems odd to me that the fuses are so hard to get to.

    Where is condescending Wonka when you need him?

  3. But what do tthey do to get the train moving again - especially in the case of Vortex getting stuck in the corkscrew?

    Winch it back up into the brakes and remove each car one at a time with a crane.

    Edit: You are right Interpreter. Vortex has never left passengers stranded upside down.

  4. No, I highly doubt that they actually wanted it closed on opening day. I am, however, suggesting that someone dropped the ball on this big time. Whether that someone is at CF or Mondial is beyond my capability to speculate.

    Take off your enthusiass cap and follow me. Now maybe, just maybe, there was a bigger issue with WindSeeker that prevented it from actually operating in any capacity during a good chunk of the offseason.

  5. And yet its the same ert every year Raven Legend and Voyage id rather spend my ERT on more than just 3 woodies...

    I'm bringing the whole family. Nevermind the ERT on Turkey Whirl and their new for 2012 Sparkler. Oh and forget about the ERT on Wildebeest and new for 2012 Mammooth. I come back to Holiwood Nights year after year simply because of the orgasmic night rides on the three woodies. Even if it is "the same ert every year." The other stuff is just an added bonus as far as I'm concerned.

  6. In regards to the steel coasters, the first cycle of the season is done just like any other test cycle; empty. However, weather usually plays a part as to when that first cycle of the season is ran. There is no reason to the think it won't complete the circuit and that's really the only major concern on that first cycle of the year. Employees can ride whenever it is deemed neccesary. A state inspection is not needed for employees to ride.

  7. Seems like Kings Island took "our" complaints (seeing how a lot of the changes they make are based off of our input here on KIC), and made our suggestions even better. I expected them to just include the movie with the $5 charge for the trail, but now, anyone can get in! That's what he's saying, right?

    Don't flatter yourselves.

  8. My first year in the rides department(2000), the prices were fairly cheap. I want to say a slice of pepperoni was around 1.25 but I could be way off on that. However, with each passing season, the prices started to go up. Like someone mentioned earlier, it is now ran by an outside company. However, they charge way too much for the quality of the food that is provided. As for the naming, I would guess that the "Oscars" name came when Paramount took over because before Paramount I think the place was called "The Canteen."
