Not to mention a frickin holding brake 400 feet in the air! I guess the closest anybody has ever come to experiencing that is this: Wow! Dragster's been stuck three times, but Kingda Ka hasn't ever. That is strange. (I love how off topic this thread can get)

And what feel is it that I-Street has in 2013? Hasn't it already been ruined? All people are ever doing are taking a glance at the fountains on their way out early or crossing the park to get to other rides. They might as well add to the fountains to make people stop and enjoy something in the large space and make people want to stay later. The "stay later" attempt is something that I enjoy very much at CW and hope to see replicated here at KI and at KD. However, I don't like the Luminosity form of "stay later". A light show is great, but people who really can't sing singing hit songs is a terrible decision. All it would make me want to do is leave the area as quickly as possible.

Just found this very creepy video of a park in China. It appears the developers were building a Chinese knock off of Disney World, but abandoned it. As seen in the video, it appears to have been taken over by the locals as a farming village. Several people can be seen off in the distance at times. He also has some fantastic pictures at the end. Oh! Pay special attention around 4:05. That's all I'll say.

Your smartest post yet, keep it up! You actually think B&Ms are fun. Just out of curiosity, how many names are you posting under? I'm guessing between 2 and 4, am I close? Young Stud, I answer anything anybody has for me! Answer me! I like you when your being you, stop with your other egos and I'm sure all will be good. Your not stupid so cut out your other posters. Thanks, Jr! I cant decode the coaster yet, but I decoded you, just be your nice poster and welcome! Hey just so you know JR4B, Dane the site administrator, posted on Tuesday that IP addresses have been checked for members that might be using multiple accounts. He also made mention that some members might have been banned. Has Big Sexy posted lately? It seems Big sexy has liked all three of those posts. So, while he isn't posting or banned, he's definitely still reading. (And liking.)

^ Some very nice decoding there. Welcome to KIC and thank you for your actual decoding. I had never thought of actually trying to figure out how high the lift can be. Seems like you could be a very nice new member to have around.

Maglev? As in the train? I've never heard of a Maglev coaster.

I have been on the Fourth of July to Kings Island on several occasions. It is an EXTREMELY crowded day. While the crowds are lighter in the morning, it is still a lot of people. Do you get many other chances to visit? Do you want to ride a lot? If you answered no to the first and yes to the second, I recommend Fast Lane.

^What about it? The OP of the pictures pointed it out. It's just a fourth third triangle. (Thanks Jayblazer) I like how close the footers are getting to the midway. The people who want the coaster going to where the water tower stood may be getting their wish. Even if it doesn't, coasters close to the midway are always more exciting.

Wendy's Sues UDF Over Frosty Trademark
rcwizard13 replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Your fourth sentence makes Wendy's case.If this came to you as a judge, hopefully the jury would make findings of fact (if there were a jury), and you'd make conclusions of law, both only after the case was presented by both parties and you had carefully reviewed all the applicable law in this complex field. Still, your fourth sentence would be key if you were a witness. So, given your attitude, should Six Flags be allowed to open a roller coaster named Beast so long as it's a different color and steel? Yes, I would have no problem if Six Flags were to do that. Leland brings up a very good argument extending on what I said. To go back to Shark, if my copyright isn't generic, I would be mad and sue. But as Leland did an excellent job further explaining, I believe frostie may have become too generic. "To be 16 again and think all law suits have no merit...." Um, no. I don't believe all law suits have no merit. -
Off-Topic (sorry) I see you have my old phone. I was very glad to get rid of that thing. I hope to never have to put up with Alcatel again. Terrible company. I now proudly use an HTC. On-Topic In the small print that describes Kings Island at the bottom of the home page, Vortex is described as having only one corkscrew.

A wise man in this very thread once said, "not everything is a hint."

I sure hope not. That's still part of calendar summer.... Hmm... there's also a Friday the 13 in December. But, personally, I think it will be during Halloween Haunt.

Canada's Wonderland Starlight Spectacular
rcwizard13 replied to Dom497's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I saw a video of this the other day on CWMania's site. It's a very cool show and I really do hope it can be replicated here at Kings Island as well as Kings Dominion. While we can't project images on a mountain, we can make a 300 foot tower dance as part of the show. -
No, this is not a 2014 thread, but, 2014 did get me thinking. Banshee was trademarked and everyone brought up the whole Mantis/Banshee thing. So, I thought we should have a thread around the name. Do you like it? Dislike it? Why? Post your thoughts here. Personally, I have no problem with the name. Of course, it would have to be used for a thrilling, scream inducing machine. This would make the train full of riders the "Banshee". I think it's very clever and if actually used, may become by favorite name for a ride.

I've always liked the way Millennium Force takes advantage of the year it opened and created such a great name. As for worst, PolerCoaster. Not built yet, but really? Is that supposed to be a clever play on words? The name is fine for the model type, but if the Las Vegas guys make that its official name...yikes.

Wendy's Sues UDF Over Frosty Trademark
rcwizard13 replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
The fact it took them this long to act on this is pathetic. And same colors and name, really? Who cares?! I thought frostie was a term for an ice cream drink, not something that is Wendy's and only Wendy's. As previously said they use new cups now. Also, it's pretty hard to confuse the Wendy's logo/mascot with UDF's logo. If I got this case as a judge, I honestly would throw it out. I don't think it has any merit to it. -
^I can't help but wonder what the packet of paper in the tenth pic contains. Edit: Next Paged! AWWW!
-
Sorry in advance for double post. Well, I'm really beginning to think Big Sexy and YoungStud are. They both have ridiculously stupid names and Big Sexy keeps liking YoundStud's posts, like all of them. And not many other posts get liked by him.

How about sticking used gum on one of the posts in the queue line? Such a novel idea! I now feel the need to let everyone know that my idea was not serious, either.

The GP could have as much fun as they want vandalizing it. Although, would it really be vandalizing if it's the theme? Perhaps they should let people draw on supports, fences, etc. nearby.

So, I stopped by the park today and WOW. The pictures do not give any justice to how large these footers really are. I didn't realize they were so huge. I rode Drop Tower, Delirium, and Adventure Express to get views of the work. Delirium by far gave the best and most phenomenal views of the work going on. In regards to the trees being removed by the entrance to AE: Due to their proximity to the site, it would be easily assumed it is for construction. However, I noticed places all throughout the park where trees have quite clearly been cut down. I'm not sure why they are doing it and I even noticed it deep in the woods by Beast and Whitewater Canyon's queue. Whatever it is for, it gives me reason to believe what we see by AE's entrance is not for Project Banshee.

Hey, There is currently three people who's posts I would like to block. I remember some of you talking about that before, but can't figure out how to do it. Could someone please help me?

This thread has gone to quality posts with a bit of bickering to bickering with a bit of arguing and a teeny bit of quality on the side. Like really, these posts aren't even worth my trail mix anymore. But sadly, I have no where else to go. Actually TPR really isn't that bad. But they don't go as in depth as on here. But there's all this bickering on here. So, I have a solution. When you disagree with someone's opinion, all you have to do is state your opinion. Respect their opinion. Don't attack them. Please. It makes for better reading for everyone.
