Here's something that I don't think has been brought up about the Tower Gardens demolition: Will CornStalkers be back this fall? And if so, where? Discuss. (It's never too early to talk Haunt! )

A boat was upside down at the bottom of the hill, with riders submerged in the water. If not for the quick response of bystanders, people may very well have died. Your "response" therefore shows a complete and total lack of understanding of the subject you are trying to argue about. What COULD have happened can be just as important as what actually DID happen... ...which is apparently a lesson that Intamin also needs to learn. jcgoble3, who had a snarky comment here but decided to be polite and remove it before he posted

Changes to 2015 dining plans (Update: not happening)
jcgoble3 replied to malem's topic in Kings Island
My biggest issue with the dining plan last year (beyond the inconsistent training and knowledge on what was included) was the inability to use it at the Snake Pit for a Philly cheesesteak. I loved those cheesesteaks in 2013, but never bothered to get one last year due to the dining plan. Looks like I'll be able to get them again. In my experience from last year, the three food locations with the longest lines were Chicken Shack, Hank's, and Juke Box Diner. Which makes sense since Chicken Shack was new for 2014 and promoted as part of the Action Zone improvements, and Hank's and Juke Box had the only Coke Freestyle machines in the park. I'm not surprised that Juke Box has been dropped from the dining plan, given the long lines and the availability of its offerings elsewhere in the park. Relieving the lines at Hank's and Chicken Shack is harder, unless they start selling Fast Lane for the food lines. (Would they call it a Fast Food pass? ) -
On the dress code discussion, when I was there in 2012, only Signature Restaurants located at resorts enforced any kind of dress code. Those in parks or at Downtown Disney had no dress code, and you could (and I did) eat at those in a t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. However, I chose to make a point of packing two golf polos, a pair of dress slacks, a dress belt, and a good, clean, like new pair of shoes (though not dress shoes) in my suitcase specifically for those two restaurants. That remains the only time in the past ten years that I have willingly dressed up more than required for anything. I normally hate dressing up.

^ Uh, no. A head-chopper effect has absolutely nothing to do with restraints. EDIT: Beaten.

Last year, they had a Plinko game in a corner of the Fourth of July section, near The Alamo food stand. One of the slots at the bottom earned you a set of front-of-the-line passes. The catch, IIRC, is that you got two pucks, but had to decide after the first one whether to take that prize or drop the second one. If you dropped the second one, you forfeited the first prize and had to take the second. (That's if my memory is working correctly.)

I've stayed in a couple of Super 8 motels. I've spent four nights in the one in Forsyth, Georgia, on my way to and from Florida, and I've always had a clean room, everything in working order, no issues whatsoever there. I've also stayed at the one near KI once, and while it wasn't as great of an experience, it was still fine by my standards (which are similar to yours), and I may very well stay there again for CoasterStock since I have some Wyndham Rewards points I have to use before they expire this fall.

A tree near the "It's a Small World" ride caught fire, possibly ignited by fireworks. The ride was not damaged. http://ktla.com/2015/02/28/firefighters-extinguish-fire-near-disneylands-its-a-small-world-attraction/

Trust me, for about a month I used a third-party keyboard on my phone that had no autocorrect other than capitalization/punctuation (e.g. changing "im" to "I'm"). I grew so frustrated with it that I gave up and switched back to the Android default keyboard. (I still have that keyboard, though, because it's useful for coding.) I now use the SwiftKey keyboard, which has a much smarter and more useful autocorrect feature than the Android default.

Because deep down inside, you know your posts would be twice as bad without it.

Having never been to any of these parks, if I were in your shoes I would probably pick KD and BGW. KD is included with a KI Platinum Pass (hopefully ), and having been to BGT once, I'd love to see its counterpart. On the flip side, there's really nothing about Hersheypark or Great Adventcha that makes me say "I wanna go there".

Same issues there when I switch it to source mode. Additionally, upon updating Firefox from 35.0.1 to 36.0 on the Linux computer (which I did on the Windows machine yesterday), the bug of not wrapping at all has popped up there as well, both here on KIC and on that editor. So that part seems to be a Firefox 36 bug, yet somehow it works for you. I can give it a try on a Windows 7 computer later tonight after my dad goes to bed.

It also works for me in Firefox on Linux, correctly wrapping lines at the end of the last word that fits entirely on that line. On Windows 8.1, I get one of two issues, depending on the browser. In Firefox, word wrap is completely broken and does not work at all. In Chrome and Internet Explorer, word wrap works, but it does not work properly, in that it wraps wherever the text hits the right margin even if that is in the middle of a word. In none of those three browsers does clearing the cache have any effect. The skin (IP.Board/KICentral) does not appear to be a factor, as the bug persists in Firefox after switching from IP.Board to KICentral.
-
Is there a reason why long lines of text no longer wrap in the BBCode editor? I get side-scrolling instead, even for normal sentences with spaces between the words like this one.
-
Cool! Now if there's still some way to identify which ring starts spinning first, that would be a bonus. Because the spinning while still inches from the ground is one of the best parts of the ride.

I may be there, depending on how much I can reduce my credit card balance between now and May. -
Whither Conneaut Lake Park Now?

Geauga Lake: ACE did NOT take Big Dipper

The last two posts before the thread died are a little interesting, knowing what we know now. -
^^ Wow. I'm thankful that I've never had offseason blues THAT bad...

Definitely Starting to Decode 2014. When a single thread drives site activity up from the normal ~200 posts per day in-season to 1,000 posts per day, you know it will be remembered for a long time to come.

Incorrect. The seat belts on Diamondback are WAY longer than that. A 400-pound man could probably fit in the seat belt. The lap bar was and still is the measure of whether you fit. Anyone who can get the lap bar down the required number of clicks can get the seat belt around them with a few inches to spare.
