  1. They need to advertise ring side seats more. I'll be sitting ringside this upcoming weekend. I mean when are you going to get to see midget wrestling again? Might as well get the best experience that you can... And I kinda figured that this would be treated as pretty funny. It's a SHOW for crying outloud. It's supposed to be entertaining, and if the crowd liked it then the entertainers did their job.
  2. Great to hear! I'm one of the people who would like to see Cedar Fair step up and take it back, clean it up, and install it at one of their parks. I don't know, I'm just glad to hear that it isn't getting destroyed just yet.
  3. I would also like to see some german food. Like others have said it just makes sense. All I know is that if the food quality at Kings Island was better then Cedar Fair would have made a lot more money off of me this season (as first time passholders). Better quality food at the other resterants, authentic German food at the Festhaus, and cheaper prices with better portions would make a day at Kings Island an awfully lot more complete.
  4. We took a week long trip to WDW when I was in 3rd (maybe 4th) grade. I liked Magic Kingdom the most then, but I think if I was to go back today Epcot would be my favorite. Magic Kingdom is every kid's dream, but Epcot is amazing and has something that everyone can enjoy. Diseny's (MGM) Studios was fun for the shows that they had. I liked Animal Kingdom, but of the four it was my least favorite. Great properties, and I think that they should be looked at as much more than just theme parks.
  5. You won't see him. Cedar Fair has no ownership of GWL. Lol. I mean a different episode where he works at one of the parks as a food service employee. (I meant it as a joke) Although it isn't reality so it doesn't really matter. No one notices the cameras getting shoved in their faces while they're disciplining their new "employee"... It's all a joke.
  6. I might be there Saturday (my first Haunt ever!) I can't wait to ride The Beast at night. I haven't done so yet and I've been itching to all season long.
  7. I've only seen one episode and the idea wasn't very appealing to me. However, I'd watch this episode just to see what all is said about the park. It would be interesting to see one where Dick Kinzel works as a food service employee.
  8. Great shots! People really don't give KI's landscaping enough credit.
  9. He was looking through some online forums looking for feedback, and he found some. Pretty professional if you ask me. All he was doing was defending what he likes doing and there's nothing wrong with that. He wasn't threatening us. Shoot, I may go to the show!
  10. The Raven gets my vote every singe day of the week. It's a ride I can ride again and again, I love the area it's in, I love the pacing, I love the airtime, and I love that it's jerky enough to be fun, but not rough enough to beat you to death. The Legend is a fun ride, and the Helix is awesome. There's enough stand out moments to make it rank with the Raven, but I still prefer the Raven. As for the Voyage, I understand why people love it, but it just isn't my type of coaster. Too rough, too intense, too long. When you combine so many good things you'll eventually get a null. Just my opinion.
  11. I can't wait to see what the surprise is!
  12. It wouldn't surprise me to see WindSeeker included in the ERT, but I could be crazy.
  13. Kroger and Meijer all have pretty good deals, and this is coming from a person who lives as far away as Richmond, Indiana. Finding a good discount at these stores shouldn't be hard. Online offers pretty much the same discounts.
  14. Great to hear that they make improvements other than adding ride after ride.
  15. "Made some time in advance"? You can SEE them making it right in front of you! Through the tiny window that you almost have to get down on your hands and knees to see in and speak to the cashier, it's impossible to see much of anything. Seeing someone making food in the back doesn't convince me that it's my food, especially when the food I get is cold. Every time I've eaten at the KI Skyline (in Coney Mall) I get cold food, smaller portions then you can get outside of the park, and a terrible (almost burnt) taste. The buns aren't fresh and the fries are soggy. Simply not worth it in my opinion. I'll try the Skyline on International Street sometime in the future, but until then I'll stick to LaRosa's for lunch.
  16. Yeah.. what he said! Maybe the "tug" over the drops would have been a better thing to say than speed.
  17. I'd argue that it doesn't have ANY airtime hills, but from what I understand there was a time when you could actually get airtime on the hills. The speed of the ride is different depending on where you sit and how many people are on the train with you. If the train's full, it's going to be a fast ride. Anyone who's ridden The Beast alone (which I've done many times this season) with an empty train will tell you that the ride is a lot slower. I'd recommend second to last row for the most speed. Never cared too much for the front. I'd rate the ride as phenomenal in the second to back row (good everywhere else), with minor pain (although the wheel seats are a little bit rougher), and I don't believe in ghosts.
  18. "Tame by today's standards" Probably the most overused way to describe something old. I get so sick of people calling anything "tame by today's standards". The Big Dipper at Geauga Lake had similar stats and that thing felt out of control as can be! I wish old Coney was still here, but I guess Kings Island is the modern replacement.
  19. Honestly, I'd like a redo of the park before we see any new attractions. There are so many loose ends that need tied up it isn't even funny. - SOB is still not running... - The Racer needs some attention - It needs painted, and there are WEEDS growing up through the cracks in the concrete. - Flight Deck needs painted. - Themeing on several rides are still in need of some attention. - We need paint in several areas other than rides (the Action Zone water tower comes to mind right away) - We could use some more shade in many areas of the park, especially in Coney Mall, Action Zone, and parts of Rivertown. Call some of these nit-picky, but SOB just sitting there is unacceptable, and The Racer needs a lot more attention than it has been given. EDIT: After the park fix-up, I'd like an expansion of the waterpark since it hasn't had one in so long. An X-Base expansion would be nice in a few years, and a floorless coaster would be pretty cool. As far as Haunted Houses go, I'd like to see the Phantom Theater back, but that won't happen.
  20. Definitely gives the pages a more modern look. Cool!
  21. If it was a coaster then we'd see construction by now. Supposed "construction" rumors basically died when WindSeeker was announced as the new ride.
  22. - My favorite meal that I've had there this season has been my couple pieces of Pizza from LaRosa's on International Street. Good location, decent portions, ect. If I visited with a larger group (so we could split a whole pizza) I'd eat there more often. - Outer Hanks is pretty good as far as location and food is concerned, but the portions could be a lot better. I do like the fish there though. - I've never been a big fan of the Skyline at the park. To me it is a watered-down version of the regular Skyline (maybe I always eat there on a bad day, but the food is always cold and obviously made some time in advance. Regular Skyline is made on the spot.) I guess it should be said that I've only eaten the Coney Mall location. - I've never eaten at the Buffet in Rivertown, but I hope to try it one day if I'm at the park later in the day. I've also never eaten at the Juke Box Diner or the Stunt Crew Grill.
  23. Sit in the back for the most airtime. Up front or even in the middle doesn't do much for me. The front is the best for views, the back is best for speed and airtime. Diamondback has more airtime, but the speed on MF doesn't stop. That's what I like about it.
  24. Watch them replace HallowSwings with a starflyer... I'm being sarcastic.
