Stepping on a skunk would be neat? You and I have different definitions of neat.

Oktoberfest Area Facelift?
It would have to be there for it to work. I believe it’s completely gone. I’d rather not see any franchised food in there. Harmony Hall 2.0 would be great!

Dollywood crowd question
It’s no where as busy as KI’s passholder preview. To be honest most passholders at Dollywood are folks who go to see shows. You can expect a crowd, but it’s no where near KI.

Nor will they use anything other than their design for it.

The Giga Speculation Thread
I doubt the park is upset about it...as they've got better things to do than worry about a word written in snow. Why haven't they cleaned it up? Probably because it's below freezing and they also have better things to do. Whoa....Holiday World and Kentucky Kingdom are fake...they don't exist. Yup....Mystic Timbers was built for people like me...I love old technology and antiques. That must be why I see a ton of young people riding it, families with young kids too. They sure do love that technology and antiques. I've ridden a great amount of coasters across the country and can tell you I believe the park should get flats before a Giga.....oh and I've ridden all 4 Giga's on the North American Continent. This is not debatable? Check yourself bud. As far as pattern of installs...what's happened in the past doesn't necessarily mean it's gong to happen in the future. If you think that maintenance upgrades, painting, etc. should be done without affecting future ride additions you must not understand how capital improvements work. They $ that would be used for such things comes from the capital improvement funds...if the improvements are more needed than a ride, the $ budgeted will go toward that and the remainder can go toward a new ride/attraction.

Planet Snoopy right? I think @pianoman is in favor of it starting out on I-Street!

Carowinds Files Permit for SpringHill Suites Hotel
I see what you're saying now....wonder how they'd deal with routing traffic to and from as well as to the tolls.
-
Carowinds Files Permit for SpringHill Suites Hotel
That'd work too. I see them placing it just outside of the gates toward the tolls....unless they move those too.

I honestly could see this going next to Cabelas.

2018 Construction in Coney Mall
Hold on, let me go write in the snow the stats for it.

Fort Rapids waterpark in Columbus closed by police
I'd say if they want to rebuild....collect the insurance and move to another area of town...that area is not worthy of anything at this point.

2018 Construction in Coney Mall
Seeing as I was no where near the park when this showed up, wasn’t me. But that’s funny! What a crazy turn of events that’d be.

Panda Express is on I-Street at KD....it'd be great if ours was too!

I mean they do have some games named "Giga" at the park....stranger things could happen! Source

Fort Rapids waterpark in Columbus closed by police
The local news is saying that it was millions of gallons of water before they could get the water shut off. Insane that it came from the 12th floor.

The Giga Speculation Thread
I would absolutely hate a number added in the name. It’s kind of cheesy. I feel like the height is what’s the attraction is about, whereas it could be about the story/theme of the ride.

Complete History of a Kings Island Ghost
Wow great insight into Missouri Jane! Would love to continue seeing efforts to trace her story!

What will replace Dinos Alive?
Ahh cowboy coaster

Best B&M Invert
I can't decide what is the best.... I've enjoy the Batman clones...but love Afterburn at Carowinds for the intensity yet smooth ending....love Banshee for the non stop action and love Talon at Dorney. Raptor at CP is okay but hate how rough it can be at the ending although I love the intensity.

That’s it, you are expecting experiences like Disney and Universal. Busch Garden parks are a competently different ball parks than KI.

Things that KI can improve on
When exactly was KI a theme park? Yes it had themed lands but a true theme park would have a unifying setting/idea/theme. You seem to be making this a bigger deal than most ever would. Saying that things should be intentional. I’m wondering according to who? Who’s to say they didn’t leave that staircase that way for a reason? Don’t forget it’s corporate that designs these attractions and the areas around them. It’s not like Kings Island says you know what let’s not put a wall here so people can’t see back stage.

Didn’t miss the point at all. I just pointed out that the faults of using Social Media Reviews as a basis of what the gp think of the park.
