I find myself listening to "Right Now" by Van Halen while watching POVs of Drop Tower in the offseason... I don't even care for Drop Tower... But I LOVE that song. Also, every Gyro Drop I build in Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 gets synced to that song. And every Suspended Swinger gets synced to "Arrival to Earth" From the Transformers score. True story.

I like to dress in an all-white hoodie and sit between groups of people on benches. I think I blend in pretty well.

Am I the only one here with a soft spot for Arrow's... awkward... transitions? It seems people classify the coaster as "rough", but I think it's all a part of her charm. Yes, HER charm. Vortex is a classy lady.

The day Vortex leaves is the day I stop buying season passes. And no, I'm not joking. Vortex and Beast are just about the only rides at KI that I can still enjoy every single time I ride them. The others have all gotten to the point where they frequently bore me. I love Vortex so much that it is one of the central reasons I visit the park as often as I do.

Because it makes for a great location for a Haunt attraction. Wolf Pack is one of our most popular mazes. The station is pretty well hidden from view during the non-haunt season. Again, not trying to disrespect at all, only add a possible recommendation, but has Fight Commander's old queue been considered as a possible location for Wolf pack? It's even more well-hidden and while I don't know for sure (please correct me if I'm wrong) it seems like it would have as much room as Son of Beast's station.

Yes. In fact, if you look to your right on the ground just before you enter the station part of the queue, you can see one next to the entrance of the shed where they park the trains at night. And if you look to the left in that same spot, you can see a footer from the Skyline Chili-vision. But that's another story entirely.

Since he used the song "I'm sexy and I know it" which was an internet phenomenon, I wonder if Gangnam Style will be incorporated if he were to come back next year?

There's also "Learn to Fly" by the Foo Fighters.

As far as I'm concerned, it is demolished. It is in such a condition that sending a train on the track without it going airborne is an impossibility. Therefore, the ride is no longer complete, and is demolished.

Flight Deck's Anti-rollbacks, which sound completely different from any other coaster in the park, including the other Arrows.

FUN fact of the day, Woody Harrelson (Recently appearing in Zombieland and The Hunger Games) once worked in that very shop.

Does anyone know if you can use Subway card rewards at KI? I have enough points on my card for a free footlong, and if I can use it, I'd like to (obviously). My assumption is no, since the prices are higher and KI undoubtedly gets a cut. But I thought I may as well ask and see if anyone knows for certain.

In light of recent discussion, I wonder how many of the posters here are Kings Island owners? The only organization I own any part of is the Green Bay Packers. To have discussion more on topic, I'm also amazed how quick that Son of a Beast is coming down. I was hoping to get to see some of the deconstruction when I was home from school in October, but it looks like that won't be happening.

I wouldn't try to redeem the VIP Fireworks viewing though. If you don't know why, just trust me.

I love that song too. I was being sarcastic lol. Though I don't care for Drop Tower rides at any park.

The variety of music sucks! I was waiting in line for Drop Tower, and I must have heard Right Now by Van Halen at least 20 times.

I think this should be their approach to the demolition:

Just don't steal fizzy lifting drinks. Because if you steal, fizzy lifting drinks, you lose! You get NOTHING!

Glad to know I'm not the only person in the world who would prefer the lake over the Beemer...

WIth Son of Beast gone, they have a lot more room to work with if they were to decide to potentially expand X-Base. Whether or not that is how they choose to utilize the land remains to be seen, but Son of Beast's deconstruction does make it possible.

Also, you could redeem the $5 Beagle Bucks perk, and use that toward a pass if you're level 3.

There is a sign for the Baby Care Center in one of the Men's bathrooms that indicates that it is near the Phantom Theater and the Hanna-Barbera Land entrance.

I love the train. I like to sit in the very back and sometimes you'll get a really friendly ride op back there, and you can have great conversations. I really like riding it at night, and I've heard that the Haunt that involves the train isn't bad either.

The only info I have is that based on a ride on Adventure Express today (er... yesterday), it would appear as if SoB's trains have been moved from their former sitting place on the ground next to the ride. Where they have been moved to, I can't say, but they were not where they have been for most of the last 2 years, unless I just missed them.

Has anyone here redeemed this reward? If so, could you describe what it entails? Is it just a Fireworks viewing in the International Restaurant? Is there food, as is sometimes the case with VIP events? I'm trying to decide between this perk and my free Preferred Parking spot when I go back for Haunt. Will FUN Perks still be valid during Haunt, anyway? I certainly hope so! For what it's worth, I have a gold pass, not a regular season pass.
