Yeah and as of Tuesday they aren't even running Spongebob in 3d. I think it's days are numbered. But I guess the theather is 15 years old. How crazy is that?

Yes this what played in Action Theater during the 2001 and 2002 seasons. I was apart of the crew in 2001.

I can confirm that both sides of Racer were open on Tuesday when I first arrived at the park around 4pm. However later in the day around 8ish only the Red Racer was open, and yes the line was all the way back to the entrance . Longest I have seen The Racer line in a long time.

WOW I was at The Point as well on Sunday, July 5th. And I was also told that the crowds was going to be insane, but I was glad they weren't.

7-1 for me. But I should try 5-1 just to see the difference. But I've been riding in 7-1 for years on end.

Platinum Passes transferable if not processed
PKIVortex replied to dec06twins's topic in Kings Island
In my situation I bought a pass for my Mom back in November, however my Mom passed away shortly after that. However the pass hasn't been processed yet, I called KI and they said they could transfer it to someone else. So that's nice that they are letting me do that. -

KI Adds Operating Days in Sept and BRING A FRIEND DISCOUNTS
PKIVortex replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
So they say all 2008 and 2009 season pass holders can bring a friend for 9.99. What about a person who has a 2009 season pass and already used there free visit? Do they have to buy a ticket that day? -
I was on Vortex crew in 2001, and the ride indeed was repainted in 01.
-
I was there on Sunday evening as well. Didn't arrive at the park till about 5:30 and of course all of the rides where closed down, at that time even FoF was closed. So they reopened the rides at about 7:30 and got on Invertigo, and just as I was about get on SOB they shut them all down again. So I stood near Skyflier and talked to a nice couple from Akron Ohio. They agreed with me that they thought some of the employees esp ride ops where rude. So finally around 8:30 I decided to walk around the park again. Rode Monster, and decided to go check to see if FoF was open, and it was this time. So I rode it 8 times in a row. So it wasn't a total bust with the bad weather, at least I got a few coaster rides in.
-
I see me in the last pic of The Racer. lol. What was I doing? I'm in the orange/yellow/grey polo. Those are my nephews with me.
-
Flight Deck had a 30 minute line easy on Saturday. Did I wait in it, no? But still it does still pull lines at times.
-
Yeah I'm pretty sure if someone was fired they wouldn't want to go anyway. lol. I hope it's a good turn out, I'm looking forward to it. And glad it's free for season pass holders, and the dinner price wasn't too bad, I would spend that much if I ate at the park anyway. And 1 hour of ERT on The Beast after park close, sounds like a blast.
-
LOL. I worked in Rides from 1999 - 2001. Hope to see some old friends.
-
I just registered for the KI Employee Reunion, and bought 2 meal tickets. Any other past employees on this board going? I'll be there on Sunday, August 31st.

Nice to finally meet you Jess. My Mom really appreciate you coming over and talking to her at the picnic grove. She thought you where very nice. She was really happy how highly I have always talked about her to you. Thanks again.
-
The Sign at the park next to the picnic grove says they can be bought at the park. It even says they can be purchased at the entrance to the picnic grove. However I would guess it could sell out, so buying online is probably the easier and safest way to make sure you make it in.
