KI, Coney Island, and more KI 9-25 and 9-26, 2009
I enjoyed hanging with you guys on Sat night. I probably would not have stayed through the storms without you guys. Ryan stayed for 2 rides on DB when it reopened. The park was almost empty at that point, so it was worth waiting the storm out. It was steady rain so Ryan and I got pin faced pretty bad. Since I am from Indy and had a total of 4 hours driving there and back, I stayed until it closed and got the last ride of the night. Thanks to Captain Nemo who rode with me on my last few rides. I was able to get 11 rides in on DB between 12 and 1. Thanks KI for another great evening hanging with my KIC friends, Angie, Tom, Ryan, and Gabe (Captain Nemo.)

Are You Glad Kings Island Pulled the Displays of Dead Celebrities from Haunt?
Last I heard most people found murders and dead people scary. Making real life scenes just adds to the suspense IMO. I voted NO for removal. I do not believe it was the intent of KI to be disrespectful to the ones who were in the display.

I miss having the middle row on the "tanks." I always sit in the middle row on Racer and Beast if I do not sit in 1-1.

2009 Season Pass Renewal Sale!
When I renewed the 3 passes for my family I was told to keep or 09 pass for it would be good for 2010 now! Why give out new cards when the old ones are fine, saves money on printing new ones. I also processed ours in Nick-U for the line outside the park was long and we waited a whole 3 minutes to get renewed at Nick - U! KI got my money faster that way for I was going to wait till the next visit. (Giving me another excuse to go.)

I am pretty sure that was not the only typo I saw on there!

A DB Flip Flop Adventure
What I was confused at the last time I was there, Oldiesmann and I found a bunch of flip flops after the final break run as you are making your turn into the station right behind International Showplace. How do you make it all the way through the ride and lose your flip flop as you coming into the station at 4 mph?

Confirmed Snoopy Coming to Kings Island...
My 4 year old has these shows on DVD and loves them, so he knows these characters very well.

Confirmed Snoopy Coming to Kings Island...
I hope the difference in licensing rights from Nick-U to Peanuts is big enough to retheme that area of the park nicely!

Kings Island Dreams
I used to have a similar dream a lot in the off season. They had renovated the ride but made it very bad, the ride was terrible and I was disappointed. There were a few times in the dreams that I complained to management on what they did!

Vortex Row Showdown!
1-1 and 5-1 are good, but I voted 7-1 all the way baby!!

Maybe you should interview for Haunt?

Kings Island Dreams
I have read many dream books and make attempts at dream interpretations, here is my take. I think that Terpy is very close to being correct. The coaster train or (Mini Cooper) in this case represents you. Since you are not actually driving, this represents something you are not in control of like your job or school. As you are making your way up the helix (you being successful) this track breaking is a hurdle that you are going to have to conquer. There are no other routes to take, and you have no choice but to go through this (a difficult situation or decision.) Once you land you realize you not only made it without a wreck, you went to the top (success) and realize you can get yourself out as well. The dream is telling you that you are going to go thought this and you will land on your feet just fine. This is just my thoughts and I could be totally wrong, but I hope it helps!

People OUTSIDE KI Say The Darnedest Things
I had a grandmother that takes her grand kids to the park and rides with them ask me if DB was an out and back coaster! I was so impressed I gave her a hug!

Stricker's Grove August 9 PTR'S

Kings Island Dreams
I had a dream that I was called to meet with a vendor that had parts for DB. I was to meet them at 2pm. I was very excited for that meant I had all morning to ride. I got to the park and rode DB and meet with the vendor at 2. Some brake mechanism needed replaced for it was not working as engineered. (This was not a trim brake, I believe it was part of the MCBR.) In the dream it just seemed like I worked for the park somehow and seemed natural for me to go work on this? Crazy Dream!

Six Flags Files Quarterly 10-Q
Not sure I totally understand all that, but it seems like CF is doing great after reading this to me?

People OUTSIDE KI Say The Darnedest Things
That is what I want to know as well. Probably some relative trying to scare them and they take it as fact? That is the best thing that I can come up with.

Holiday World to get new ride in 2010?
Another news station's report as well, basically the same as Terpy's post from IndyStar. I hear they made the front cover here in Indy, but did not see it myself. http://www.14wfie.com/global/story.asp?s=10923814

People OUTSIDE KI Say The Darnedest Things
Someone asked me the other day. "Did you hear about that guy that died on Firehawk." I had to explain that they did not die on the ride....
