Opinions can have flaws or be based on flaws. Contrary to what some believe some opinions can be wrong, and other people can tell you why that's wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn't realize that 2999ft or less qualified as a kids coaster. Good to know. I always thought rides like Invertigo Top Thrill Dragster were adult rides. Thanks for the education. Also there are what, less than 100-150 coasters world wide over your 3500-4000 mark? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk All I'm saying is less than 3000ft seems too short for a wooden coaster that's being hyped this much in a park the size of KI that's not directed specifically at children. This is just my opinion. I guess my opinion offended you in some way. So for that I apologize I thought that's what this forum was for discussing thoughts and opinions to try and figure this out. Nope not offended just pointing out the flaw in your opinion. You are allowed one just like others are allowed to point out when an opinion has flaws. Plus saying a ride may be too short for the hype versus saying 3000 is a kids ride is two completely different things. Have a great one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tv time out. Everyone take a breath. If there was an easy answer to this it would have been decided a long time ago. I don't need a car than can do 160 or 220 but it doesn't mean it can't. Also the guts of what this thing used is no different than a glock or other semi automatic weapon. The rounds were slightly different. Just banning this type of rifle won't stop this type of thing from happening. Instead of a bullet of that caliber it will be a couple of hand held guns or a modified other rifle or gun. I can get a semi automatic .22 or 22-250. Just like this gun that was used or a glock or other hand gun or rifle or shot gun. Banning one type will just lead to others becoming used. Gangsters used tommy guns or machine guns. Now you can't own automatic weapons. Maybe banning certain guns is not the right direction. Maybe it is. But if you are on a no fly list you should also be a on gun no buy list. Gun sales needs to be shored up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well done on the picture side!

Tbh for the most part the general public won't care if it's made by GCI ICG RMC GMC or the GCL. If it's something that can add memories for a family and is fun then that will be good. If you ask the general public who built The Racer, Banshee, or The Bat you'd probably get a look and an answer that says Kings Island. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe in the Brussels or the Paris attack last year the gun check did keep the thing from exploding the device inside the stadium. I don't have answers either. I could see how a person outside the park could cause damage at the security check, but I would think the damage would/could be more in the park? The parks big enough that a person could theoretically hit an entire section before being apprehended Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let's not forget that this is the same water that allows you to water ski in. At one time you could swim and canoe. The dad and son were in (according to some reports) about 1 foot of water. The dad was holding the kids hand. It's a man made lake that they wanted you to fish in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't engage small minded people making terrible statements. Just report it or ignore it. Don't engage it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are connected. From what I have read over the years is that swimming was allowed but over time swimming may have became banned due to some of the following reasons: Increase in boat traffic Bacteria in the water Increase in gators So I can see if you have been to the park many times over the years you would let little ones into the water a bit. But my open water life guarding instinct tells me that it's never a good idea to swim where you can't see the bottom or where you have a clear line of sight for the area around where you are swimming. The dad could have been right next to the kid and the gator could still have got him. Gorilla mom is very lucky this didn't happen to her boy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And let's not forget that because in the past we have been good allies to the park, the park has returned favor as well. That's how relationships can grow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/15/us/alligator-attacks-child-disney-florida/ A bit more info: Earlier that night there was a movie screening on the beach but it would have been over by this time Childs 4 year old sister was in a play pen on the beach Child was splashing and either walking or playing in the water (water is marked to not swim) Dad wrestled with alligator to try and get son back Mom had entered the water but was not able to locate 2 year old boy No incident like this before *************** opinion coming ***** This is heart breaking. Why was the kid allowed in the water by his parents. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I had read that Disney monitors them for size and aggression and when they get to big or aggressive they will capture and send them out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What do you mean something will have to happen to The Beast? Like following an accident or age or something? I believe it's been talked about on these boards that the track and supports are replaced as needed. That long shed was also a brake run if I recall my Beast history. When I was little it still had the kicker tires and could be used as a blocking section as needed. That's why it's so long straight and covered. Plus wasn't there someone who stood out there? The ride is still immensely popular. Lastly I think the trim thing is such a big thing about his ride is because there was a story or truth that the designers of the ride ride it once and decided the speed and such had to be adjusted. But the only time I read about this story was then the ride was just finished not even open so unless you were a park higher up you never rode it that way (from what I remember of old foster stories). And just because the majority don't agree with you doesn't mean we don't get it. It means we don't agree Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well said! I read about this after attending my friends' same sex wedding. It was a great time. I come home to read this. To go from a place where love and laughter and music and joy was playing to read about this... I still don't have the words to put together that this just doesn't make sense. Isis or homophobia or both or whatever.... It just doesn't add up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Trying to be nice. The more you interact with these sad people who are only posting to get attention the bigger their ego gets. The only way to get rid of these things is to ignore them. Don't talk to them don't talk about them just ignore them. Maybe they are lonely and feel that when people talk to them they are useful. Maybe they are little kids. Maybe they are old loners. Just ignore them. They are trolling for responses. Just report them and and ignore them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have every intention of going and buying my printed copies on Monday. Will make a nice souvenir to add to my collection. I will not be posting them in any forums or social media until the park make their announcement. By that time, it won't matter to anyone if I did or not and would be no sense in doing so. Wait... How far back do these plans go back? It would be cool to get a copy of say The Beast blueprints for my basement... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you a DVC member? We just started so I would love to hear your thoughts about the program as someone who has used it for a while. We were explained that the points change base on only a few things. So for example if a room changes from say a non preferred to a preferred view. Say the room went from a view of the woods/parking lot to a view of a park expansion. And the other thing is if the prime time season changes. I'm sure I'll have more data as the years progress though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some people enjoy "fixing" or "making things". So for some greener pastures can always be something that needs to be fixed. They enjoy it. Other people love to fix something and then continue to shape it for the rest of their career. No idea which one is our current CEO. Maybe they offered and he turned it down? Less they pay him he more they can pay other people to keep them on board rowing in the same direction? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed. Since my little guy is almost 36 inches and will hit that mark this summer, my view of what we can or can't do in the park has severely changed. Maybe this will add something else for everyone to enjoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fake enough for you?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I agreed with Nick till this post. I had no reason to believe a random Facebook group that may just want likes or subscribers.
