BB1

King Kong too was in New York. Now he's in Jurassic Park! (So maybe Jimmy Fallon's New York adventure will one day take place in Jurassic Park?)

1 plan it on a weekend with no other groups in park. 2 More tours of the waterpark. 3 Haunt walkthrough 4 ERT/LRT (Late ride times or Disney Magic Hours for my Disney fans) for the waterpark. Just a few ideas

Maze from what I remember with the lights on tour and during Haunt a few years ago. I'll be on the lookout for you soon as I will be trying to hit the Haunt soon again.

The key is to hit the park when there is no one there. I have been to Kings Island on numerous occasions during all the seasons of operation and yet I still have amazing lines and amazing service. Sure, you could argue certain criteria, but you did chose to go during an highly anticipated date for many people in the Tri-State area. That being said, expect high volumes of crowds. But then again, one is subject to the money pouch so i see the fustration. I always recommend to everyone to get a Gold/Platinum Pass just due to the money paid back. I went well over 100 times this year to Kings Island, add in the prices and discounts given, and I already have my money back. My tips? Get there early. Go on a Sunday (After church for me of course.) Hit the food before 12 and after 2:30 (lunch rush dies down, minimal lines.) Haunt Fridays, early, overcast, or late bring out the best lines and some of the best atmospheres for getting to your Haunts.

The Beast has been notorious for nods to past attractions. This is simply a nod to a loss of a son and a great way show guests the remains being disturbed during the Haunt season yet again. Also I must say that Carnevil and SlaughterHouse were excellent waits on Friday and SlaughterHouse still delivers on that iconic scare it is known for. (But I'm still trying to find out whether or not they serve kangaroo meat?)

Shhhhh, no one needs to know about that yet, it's all in.......planning. BB1, taking BB1 & Co. to new limits with new aquatic based thrills on Mars.

It's 2016, and NASA has announced that you are the lucky recipient to be a part of the founding colonists, which will only be an one way trip. Of which you could pick five extra people to come along to Mars with you. When you arrive, Mars will be beginning with the teraforming process (unknown of the completion of a teraformed Mars) and will be established as a colony that could be free from earth or under the domain of any country. As some what of a pre season episode of my annual weekly poll series this off season, what would you do if you were in this situation? (Note that this is a fictional situation with no grounds to prove such an idea exists.)

This brings a smile to my face! So if I ask Sam if he loves cows, meow meow meow. Tonight, what will he say?Better yet, what does Sam think about BlackOut

Down grading the premier attraction would be a win loose. If I go to an Haunt, with lowered standards, and it exceeds those standards then I would like it more. But If it is a Saturday night, and hardpressed for time, I would not want to go due to the lack of scares. I'm sure BlackOut will be an interesting Haunt as it could be one of the more sensory overloads with sounds and various wall styles that could evoke fear.

Are you in Connecticut? How about with a little doll named Annabelle? If so, you may or may not be in a movie, or have had the fourth wall broken onto you from an external force. *que Deadpool music*

Some good information here folks , as policies are policies, No matter what time of year. I would suggest to bring this up to guest services as they would have more information about the park's operations than we would.

I lost count of my Beast count after 100, and that was years ago.

^If you are looking into more effects produced in the golden era of Haunted Houses, check out some of Disney's Haunted Mansion literature. I have a few books at home with key effects detailed, I can't exactly show you the book, but I will say that if you are very interested, it's a good investment.

....I guess you also don't understand why people volunteer to work the Kings Island Kicks Cancer (a lot of those folks "harassing" guests to kick a soccer ball are volunteers). .....A few members on this forum are probably a salaried employee and essentially "donate" time in excess of 40 hours/week to their respective employer, of which many employers probably are making enough money and could compensate. I guess you don't understand that either?... I understand the difference between salaried employees and non salaried employees. I also understand someone donating their time/money for a cause/charity that helps others in need. Sorry but, I wouldn't classify as Cedar Fair being "in need." I love Ohio State football but you won't catch me painting the end zone just to make sure it's the right shade of red. Sure, you may, others, not so much. You acquire a sense of accomplishment and new found admiration when you work on something you already love. For example if Boomerang Bay was still around, I would volunteer to restore it and make it look better. I'm not trying to say that you are wrong in your opinion, rather, that it seems kind of rash to hear you speak of him like that. Also it's not a basis of need, but being a kind Samaritan anyways as the best is done when people work on what they love. I commend him on what he did as I too love organs. I won't lie, I've always been a fan of organs. Ever since I heard Big Bertha at the 1900 Park Fare at The Grand Floridian I always thought they were special relics to cherish and remember an era by. When I heard the Wurlitzer in action with the original Organ, it was just wonderful and amazing to hear. And alls that I have to say is wow, thanks so much for your hard work and I feel like it is safe to say that you restored life into that glorious organ.

That's what I'm doing!Well, that does go to show you how we change in life. People go through phases, seasons, all having different affects and outputs on various people. I don't know what kind of joke or pun I was trying to pull, but I'm sorry even I think that is crap. Now, at least I use proper puns and post when I can to help out whenever I can. (As every user should.)

What kind of crap was I posting back then? Man, have I matured, that wasn't even a pun!

Yes, you may still rent Cabanas in Soak City at both Breakers and Tidal Wave Bays. BB1, the salt is on. "The heat is on, it's on the street the heat is on" (Also probably one of the few who go to the waterpark as much as I did.)

Exactly why they should not touch it.

Please do not give me that mental image, I simply cannot Bear it. The Beast is good as is, it is a record breaking coaster that still (to a lesser degree) holds true to what it is and what it will be for future generations to enjoy true, classic, 70s style coasters that still pack a punch. The wood makes The Beast, a Beast. Wet wood allows for a totally different experience than dry wood, making it a different kind of coaster on different days. RMC should never touch this magnificent being unless if they were to just touch up on the preexisting structure I e add new wood as needed.

I can tell you that Henley said it best. Good bye BB, Once again.

Sorry for double posting but please note Paramount Parks on that plan board for the overall. (Maybe Paramount has been Cedar Fair all along?!)

Or boat?BB1, somewhat now a fan of Big MACKs!

Photo not found?

Or go and buy a pail of Pop Corn from Hollywood Studios (MGM for some of us older park guests), universal and interesting to carry onto a space attraction. One of the best places(and only place for me) to get pop corn, along with Mickey Mouse Ice Cream and or frozen bananas.

Anything and everything, theming, signs, cool stuff in the stores. Slides, theming along slides, etc.
