Being a new to Cincy, I have a question that maybe a long timer can clear up. When something like this is opened, is Pete Rose embraced or shunned? How is Pete treated around town? After all, it's hard to separate him from the Reds. What did he do that was so bad compared to todays MLB players? Didn't he just bet on his own team to win? Did he ever bet against his team, or shave points? Not trying to hijack a thread,just genuinely curious. I'm real happy to see a sit down go there, and glad there will be pass benefits.

I think a large part of the reason I got to level 4 was those magically delicious loaded nachos at Hanks. It was filling while being somewhat light and healthy. There's nothing more unappealing to us than heavy cheesy pizza on a hot day. I'm sure it has something to do with our age. I was told by a Customer service manager (in the room where you get your photos taken, tall young woman with long black hair, blue shirt. I didn't get a name, for those of you ready to pounce) last year when we were renewing our passes that Funperks was a big success and would be back in 2013.

A better view of the eastern skyline from Flight Deck.

Pinball....The sign on the arcade near Maverick's entrance Reads, "Pinball". We asked the attendant where the pinball machines were, he said, "In the antique section up near the entrance". Told him that the sign was false advertising. He looked at me like I was the craziest old fart he'd crossed paths with in a month. Kasich better leave my pinballs alone!!

Maybe they're trying to hide WindSeeker!

I don't think I've ever read anything Terp has written that could "interpreted" as right or wrong. I think the word is "vague". Terp may have bumped this thread as a simple distraction to refer to something else that's going on. Or Terp is just really bored and just wanted to see how much he could stir the pot!

http://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams I spy with my eye a helicopter and storage containers at the bottom right of the webcam. I'm going to take a wild guess here and say KI hasn't moved BLSC.

Geez, I much more understand everyone's frustration with the "downsizing" of the ride. That looked AMAZING!!!

^Who are you? What do you know? Why do you know it? Have you just pulled the thread bump of the millennium...and why? (I think I'm channeling Hunter S.)

I guess it's all about perspective. I've had the pleasure of eating at the original Pink's in LA, and was very excited that one was going in at CP. Trust me, it's NOTHING like the original. The CP dogs a comparatively tiny, skimpy on toppings, and much lower quality than what you get at the original in LA. With that in mind, I can't eat there again, but if I hadn't eaten at the original, I'd probably really like it. I never ate at Hanks when they served German food, but it's our go to place now. Probably the main reason I hit four funperks stars.

I think it was around October 28 2012.

Q. Will any consideration be given to increasing early ride time back to 1 hour? (@ssskellogg) A. Early rides for Gold and Platinum passholders will be 30 minutes before park opening as they were previously prior to last year. Prior to last year, the park opened on Saturday mornings ONE HOUR early. So if KI only opens for a half hour on Sat mornings.... It's not "as they were previously prior to last year" I appreciate Don's candor, but I also call it as I see it.

Loaded nachos are magically delicious and inexpensive! Shhh don't tell anyone.

Who can we contact to lobby, bribe, beg, or plead for and hour of ERT on Saturdays?

I'm just glad it's Beast/DB and not WindSeeker/Vortex. 1/2 hour is a bummer. Maybe they'll give us Saturdays for an hour if we promise to be their friends.

I would highly recommend calling the park: at (513) 754 5700. Or Cedar Fair at: 419 627 2233 for your answer. You'll get 20 different opinions here, and a possible brutal rant from a person called "The Interpreter" Welcome to KIC.

The grassy area just north of ET will have "2013" in grass grown on the hill.

Snow woman and I have been to BGW and loved every part of it. The food, atmosphere, and rides were wonderful. Got to ride Big Bad Wolf, (will muchly miss) have read about a new coaster there. We couldn't afford to hit KD on that trip seven years ago. I don't know if we'll have time to go to both parks this trip, and we want to give the KD coasters and rides the time they sound like they deserve. Thanks for all the posts, we're reading every update. Any thoughts about Richmond as a place to stay and eat?

Snow woman and I are planning a trip to KD this spring. I was wondering if anyone who has been there might be willing to share their thoughts, advice, or feelings about KD and the Richmond area. Like how does KD compare to KI? (other than one is a Dominion and the other is an Island) Thanks

I think the bird poop covered ledge on the Soak City cam should be repositioned. Yes I'm ready for the coasters to roll.

I wonder what rides will be made available to gold/platinum pass members for ERT in 2013? I'm personally hoping for Diamondback! The previous sentences made for a good couple months of arguing last year. Wait for it........GO!! April 27th!!

Lets see if Don's really a King: What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

43...... I think we liked DB ERT. Hopefully early DB rides will be offered in 2013!!

May I mambo dogface to the banana patch?

Welcome to KIC! If you have any respect for the wonderful silliness of a KI Halloween, I would hope you dress up with your young one and have a great time! It's encouraged. I give much respect to every adult I see at the park dressed up with their little tykes. Regarding beer prices, You also can get a Skyline coney much cheaper at other locations to, but the view isn't nearly as good. It is what it is. Have a blast.
