KI FANATIC 37

Actually I believe that he is on KIE. But I may be wrong...

The way I see it is that this site is for the discussions. IF you want to find out whats at KI you should just go to their website. Also, if you are on this website you are probably very familiar with all the attractions/info on Kings Island anyway.

^ I believe it still says new for 2007, Firehawk! At least it said that a little bit ago. Their is a bunch of small things that are not very important as well. Overall I think this is a great site. Im also a member of KIE but dont really care for it that much.... They still have Son of Beast listed too! Wonder how long that will satay on here?

OK, thanks. I believe that I saw those yesterday. I wonder if they will continue to update those photos?

^^ T Hose are my new desktop background! (Hope you dont mind.) I have a question for anyone who can answer; Is their an official place where the park uploads all the demolition photos? If so, where is it?

Most downtime there, from what I've seen, is fairly short (<30 minutes) in duration. It's gone down multiple times when I've been either in the station or in the queue. Having TTD running probably a huge maintenance priority. That queue is often a frustrating one to wait in. The split doesn't always result in fair wait times, and you have to navigate a station crammed with 4-5 trains worth of people. I agree. I absolutely hate the queue for TTD, and the split is the worst part. For me, it seems like the station is always crammed and its just a mess. Its well worth the wait though!

^ I love TTD, its one of my all time favorite coasters. But you cant deny it has quite a large amount of downtime...

I It is an Intamin. IM not saying all of them have outrageous amounts of downtime but they do have quite a bit more than B&Ms.Hes not unlucky, it is not uncommon for it to be down (not nearly as bad as TTD though)!

Agreed. Particularly in an election year, Cedar Fair should be more savvy than implying only Democrats are frightening. Pretty sure Reagan got me on Friday... I know they are only going by the calender, and they aren't trying to be political, but that's also a reason to have both sides. Who knows? George Washington with an ax could be lurking around. Last year Bill Clinton had the misfortune of leaping out right in front of my neice, the only thing I could think of was "Not her, you don't!" I hope he got the humor of that. If it were any other president, the thought wouldn't have entered my head. Bausch and Lombe used to have a good eyedrop solution, I don't know if they still make it, I no longer wear contacts. Fair warning, anytime you are in a situation where say, the residue of something like fog can get in your eyes, sometimes drops can only make it worse, it a gross way. They could have Clint Eastwood and an empty chair. That could be good...

I dont mind the 2 topics either. They both cover different topics. This topic is more for actual information about Son of Beast.

I hope the park continues to update us on what is being demolished. I really like the current pictures!

^ He probably just misunderstood you. Im sure he wasn't questioning you.

I highly doubt that equipment will stay at Ki for their next big attraction. If this was true, they would have probably already announced the new ride/coaster. Just my thoughts, could always be wrong.

My take on Oktoberfest is this, its more of a path way connecting Action Zone to Coney Mall. I know people probably hate hearing that but that is just my opinion. Out of every 5 visits I take to the park, I probably stop in Oktoberfest once. I personally beleive that it is one of the prettiest places in the park, just not much thrill; which is what I am looking for. I like it that way too. In my opinion, here are the real areas of the park: INternational Street, Planet Snoopy, AZ, Rivertown and Coney Mall.

Oh my gosh! Look at Don in that video! I almost didnt recognize him!!

I just checked my iPad 2, and sure enough, the YouTube app has vanished... You can download the official YouTube app in the App Store and its much better than the old one and the best part is its free!

I consider myself a hardcore enthusiast in real life. I know much much more than the average Joe. But some of you know much more than I do. As for the forums, I mostly enjoy reading other peoples posts and learning!

Thats very true, but I would have assumed that he would of told the reporters anything else the park had given him. He seemed like he liked the attention!

When I heard what happened I automatically assumed that all the people involved would get a free ticket. EDIT: About midway through the video it says what they got (or what that one guy got). Skip to 1:45 http://www.huffingto..._n_1898952.html

^ IN the report they did say that they gave them something, and it wasnt much. I may very well be wrong but if I can recall it was a free dinner at the park and a t shirt, thats pathetic...

You need to buy a flash player browser. I had Skyfire and it work on almost all sites that used Flash Player. It does cost like $4 but is is worth it. It just replaces Safari.

I was exagerating. I am well aware that those attractions are there. Great rides, just not my cup of tea..

I do not see these things leaving anytime soon. They are only 1-2 years old and even though they are a small investment in our eyes, the still cost a lot of money. I know I will get flamed for saying this but, it's a prototype, everything has its hiccups at the beginning. Yes, it is 2 years into its life cycle and it is getting too old for theses things to continue but, give it time. I am not saying they should continue to operate the WS's while this is continuing to happen. That would be an unwise and dangerous decision. They should be closed until all problems are corrected.

But the VIP fireworks viewing is still there, and we know that there are no fireworks during Haunt. So logic dictates that Thunder Alley was not removed simply because the season for that attraction is over, because if that was the case, the fireworks viewing would be gone as well. Thus, I suspect that we may indeed have seen the last of Thunder Alley. Thats a good point. If that is the case (which I hope it is), then next year Action Zone will literally have nothing. But, we might have a sweet surprise the following year!

^Isn't that because it closed after Labor Day weekend? I could very well be wrong but I think I recall someone saying that on here....
