Backlot Stunt Coaster Trains Being Stripped of Their Theming
Jason B replied to DBru's topic in Kings Island
It is really a shame that is seems like every another feature of the ride stops working or is turned off. -
2009 Attendence at Major Parks
Jason B replied to PhantomTheater's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I would be neat to see a break out of the numbers such as how many people come for Haunt. -
That is the main problem with the Starlight shows, the look during the day. I found the "look" of the Frontier Trail last year during the day to be just fine, the lights were hardly visible unless you were looking for them. As far as the tower's concerned, I doubt the look is ruined. If Disney can get away with draping their castles with light netting every winter (which is painfully obvious from Main St, USA), the lights on the tower shouldn't be a big deal. Don't get me wrong, I love the starlight experience. I guess it is all a matter of person taste. I thought the lights took away from the Frontier Trail during the day. Of course some of that maybe the area is themed as a frontier town and has all of these high tech LEDs hanging all over the place. I am just one of those people that notice things like that such as all the wifi bridges that go from building to building so the system talks.

I would volunteer to help on this! I think the music currently played on I-Street takes away from the whole experience.

I know I may sound lame but I have always liked AE. I usually end up riding it alone because the other 1/2 hates it.
-
Planning on spending 2 days there actually. I have not been there and looking forward to it.
-
I would love to go but I am leaving for Gatlinburg for a week first thing the next morning. I am trying to work out how to do both......
-
I agree with the thrown together part as far as the station. To me the getting to and from as well as on and off SOB has always looked like afterthought.

Backlot Stunt Coaster Trains Being Stripped of Their Theming

I like that the trains are now all one color. I do admit they could use a bit of theming. -
I did not make it there before the rain set in on Saturday. I was hoping to try again this weekend but the weather does not look like it will be much better.
-
I agree that Race For You Life Charlie Brown is a long name but I do think it is one of the better ride name / theming tie ins in PS.
-
I do not see Club Blood leaving anytime soon from the Haunt ling up. I do think Death Row needs to reach it execution date.
-
Overall I liked PS, I just think they cold have done a few more things. As many other I think Surf Dog needs a Snoopy on a surf board where Avatar was. I also think that they could have done more with the "pumpkin patch" then just putting a cut out in the middle of the coaster.
-
I was walking in the grass on Saturday to read the little sticks to see what would be where. It looks like it will be a nice show, I was very impressed with it at CP.
-
I think Scooby was better. The need to turn down the volume on the guns, you cannot hear the the narration on the ride.
-
I have never actually "ridden" Spongebob 3D. I may actually have to try it this year.
-
I generally do have a small bag for a few items and the souvenir mug as do many others. I understand going in that on some rides I have to pay for it to be held and I have no problem with that. Is the increase going to be the end of my world? no. I usually just take my pocket change from the week for this anyway. I do hope with the increase that they are able to better maintain the lockers. I know sometimes it can be a challenge to find an empty working one at FH / FoF.

On Dollywood's 25th...
Jason B replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I am glad we are spending 2 days there since it sounds like there is so much to do. -

Going this fall for the first time. -
Yes they do have their own firetruck. They have both KI Security and KI Police vehicles.
-
According to Google Maps I am 135 miles away. It generally takes just under 2 hours but that does not stop me from making trips a couple of times a month.

KINGS ISLAND, CofC Vow To Fight Admissions Tax Proposal
Jason B replied to The Interpreter's topic in Kings Island
im not sure where you live in indiana and what boat you went on, but argosy casino, grand vic, or belleterra never offered anyone a 5 dollar chip for compensation nor did the cost to get on become to high as a matter of fact the cost went down to 3 dollars and after that it was free to get on all boats starting with grand vic then argosy casino.. and belleterra never charged anything. Also the casino boats to this day still pay the $3 per person for everyone that enters them to the state, they just no longer pass on the cost to the patrons. -
Urgent Scare souvenir photos not showing up
Jason B replied to gigacoaster2k's topic in Kings Island
I had the same thing with Urgent Scare photos. There were not taking pictures the nights I went through Club Blood.
