Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
shark6495 replied to Hawaiian Coasters 325's topic in Kings Island
I think you all (the people who don’t think it’s a big deal) are missing the point either purposely or on accident. 1: It has a higher death rate than the flu 2: it’s a vascular swelling disease. Which means that if you don’t die then you have a higher risk of organ failures and strokes. So it’s not just the death rate but also the “we don’t want people to have life long illness because of this” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex

All I know is that if they put something in, RIP the trees and secluded feel on The Beast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Coney Island Cincinnati to remove all rides
shark6495 replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Coney Island Central
I think these two situations are not alike at all. Coney is still easily accessible by major highways and is part of a major city area. Many go to Coney for the pool while the rides were a great bonus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Nick Universe Remembered (photos)
shark6495 replied to CrashOverRided's topic in Kings Island History
I miss the HB and Nick days. The geyser was my favorite!!! I have kids. They enjoy snoopy but they have no love of him. Glory days huh? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
International street had such wide streets Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With the trams it’s not always going to be best for people who can. It was always a way to help people who have trouble. You have kids and no stroller? Doesn’t matter if it’s 2 rows or 30 it’s a long haul. If you are older and need frequent breaks but didn’t park in handicap, the tram helps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What if King Cobra weren't torn down?
shark6495 replied to ThrillKingsFitzy's topic in Kings Island
I think it was left if I’m right? Where it turned right and you could look down and see Adventure Express? It was the first and only ride where I have grayed out on it. Almost a complete black out. But man it was fun. I hated the bicycle seat though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
We’re here we just don’t participate nearly as much as we did. For reasons you mentioned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let’s not forget that to get to GL is/was a nightmare as well. CP is no easy drive either. But GL was way way worse. We take for granted that KI is right off a major highway. Just a few miles north from a major interchange as well. A lot of these parks were local parks that grew and people visited. KI was planned (very well IMO) from the beginning. It was time that eroded KI (loss of its hotel, camp grounds, golf course....) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wasn’t offended more like WTF. They are probably d bags but the handicap doesn’t have anything to do with that. My bad for starting a fun internet fight on a monday Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Working as an advocate I hate when people try to demean and put down those with disabilities. Your comment came off negative in that aspect. It made it sound like we should be upset because they used the access they needed. Your story about the camera could have been told with no extra comment about handicaps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
It doesn’t. The story had nothing to do with disability. Same story could have been told without the disability comment. You defending that tells more about you as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why point out that one of the riders had a handicap? Adds nothing to the story and makes you look like a d Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Victim blaming at the all time high in this thread. Defending KI? Let the courts have at it but don’t dismiss the victim because she took too long to take it to court. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I drove by today. Parking lot looked pretty empty. I hope that time has dropped a bit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The End of Americana/LeSourdsville Lake
shark6495 replied to Gordon Bombay's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I hope the options are more articles weekly or monthly, and nothing terrible! In all seriousness your blog has been a constant weekly read for me for what feels like 10 years. I found it when I was living in NY and was miss my home and wanted to know about Americana actually. This was in 2009ish. Just wanted to let ya know that it is a great addition to society!

That’s crazy! I didn’t know that. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If there was any truth to it... why would a park ship a working ride to another park and then Replace the ride with an exact copy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kings Island 2019 Announcement on National Roller Coaster Day 8/16/18
shark6495 replied to Codyfryguy's topic in Kings Island
Maybe they’ll fix the fest house clock and add back some trams? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Because families as a majority don’t plan trips based on roller coasters they base it on things for the whole family to do. Plus if it’s being touted as a destination park, then families usually do something 1-2x per year. If they choose OASIS over KI then that hurts KI Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
