As the season continues, the Christmas desserts like gingerbread, buche de noel (Yule log for you english speakers), and many more are to be made and eventually eaten. So, with this week coming close to the Christmas day, what is your favorite Christmas dessert?

Throughout the year topics comes and goes. Usually laced with some puns, some great information, and occasionally some of the oddest conversations I have ever seen. So, in light of the many topics made this year, which one was your favorite?

^That sounds like something what I would (have) say. Luckily the injuries were not fatal, and this is not something people should laugh at as it could have been worse.

"I will pay you, your car, for one dollar" I can't help but think of that looking at the prices! Sad thing for it to go, but I wouldn't mind having a thing or two from there now. Luxury? Apartments? Concept? Across the street from.GWL? I have a headache.

Already 5 weeks in and it feels like forever since I have been to KI! There was a lot of buzz on our forums lately about the upcoming films and some of the films we have had this year. Now, I do suggest for you to also look at our KIC Movie Reviews posted by moi in our Multimedia section. With Guardians Of The Galaxy, and a plethora of other films that have came out, and the upcoming film of The Hobbit, 2014 has had a great running in the movie era. So, I made this topic to ask a question: What year was the best year for movies?

........Meanwhile festivals like The Salt Festival, and Wool Festival have been ever so slightly been decreasing and few even know of them anymore. Plus, once you go one year you've seen them all. I rarely even go to them anymore and to be honest, the crowd has really been dying off due to economics or due to death to be frank.

Bring The Eagles Home, that they did. This topic, no clue, but the pot, or Kegger is being stirred.

Stir the pot as they say, but please don't spin the Keggers. Pass me a Snicker's Bar too, we may be in for quite a ride.

To be honest this park has gotten far too political. The park needs to be able to pay itself off by x amount of years or it goes. The State, or whoever it was by the state, found the park to be an investment for KY to have profits with to balance out the revenues made with Indiana and Ohio. Both of which have high profit parks with major additions in the 2014/2015 seasons. Tides are turning, as you can see with this year's election which I won't delve too far in because it is too political for this forum site which is strictly not about that kind of work. The major thing that I think will make or break KK is this upcoming season: 3 good sized coasters, a good sized water park, and a fairly large family area. If the T3 project is a dump then yeah I would like to see some changes or better yet some movement to the correct changes. Sure I hope for the best, but with this economy and what is going on nationally and internationally we need to invest in parks who would succeed. Now let's say KK fails and it is a flop, what's next? I would rather see Beech Bend actually get an expansion to keep revenue and profit in KY so that one park in KY could rise above how KK did. BB (irony) could use a larger waterpark, which the water park at KK has a plethora of amazing well to do water amenities for park guests. If not that, then possibly move KK farther east to Northern KY, there are places and space where it could develop and grow more than it does in Louisville.

To be honest, I'm taking the opposite side of the majority and calling for a 110-130' tall woodie. Yeah sure, reliability, and you name it are big focal points of the steel coaster, but I mean come on, the park has added so many steel coasters and no classic wooden coaster. With the new innovations in corkscrew technology, I wouldn't mind seeing Kings Island acquiring a wooden coaster, not a hybrid might I add. Or better yet, let's get back those Antique Cars, with landscaping and all back to where it all began. But hey, with the Ouimet era, we just don't really know. He is really investing in the histories of the parks and using that to fuel the parks with some thrilling nostalgia which I couldn't say that it came too early or too late. KK just got their Flying Scooters and KI needed theirs back to keep up with that kind of attraction base. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future, as I am really banking on getting a Shoot The Chutes attraction similar to CI's somewhere because that just looks like one heck of a ride.

To be honest, from a person who has never been to The Point, that just looks retro. Times change, and the park needs new space, as people have already been discussing. If the space is what it looks like, it could easily place a new small coaster or a few flats.

Black Fish Friday deals, what a hit!

Over the few years that Cedar Fair has owned Kings Island, they have forever changed the whole atmosphere of the park; whether it be new rides, new areas, and a few rides returned as well . With this, the culmination of all of the additions now is something enthusiasts have been dying for: Flying Scooters. So, what is the best Cedar Fair Kings Island Addition?

What's the stats on this thing? It looks somewhere around 100, 120?

I got a brochure in the mail months ago, so already i knew a little bit about the project. But this isn't the first rodeo, Celebration, FL is an successful community created by our friends at Disney.

"It's Tomb Raider, The Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiide" That's all that i could think of looking at that.

That would be one of the awkward moments to ride that in GWL's Arcade.....

Great Scott! If WDW's 20K Leagues Under The Sea attraction had a baby, it's this! I LOVE the steam punk theme and how it ties in with the area. Cedar Fair is doing EXACTLY what I love, theme and plot based off of the history of the park. Maybe I should go SoCal this year?

Yes, I was stating MARVEL to emphasize that I am not a fan of DC Comics, sorry for the confusion. This comes after today accidentally saying that a Romulan ship was Klingon, from the 2009 Star Trek film. (The mind thought, and the hands posted another thing)

The animations look like RCT4 Quality! Interesting attractions, but I am not that sure on the "sellability" of these attractions except for maybe a carnival or a roadside fun place. EDIT: The last ride actually was a child's toy in the 90's too, just an f.y.i.

This......THIS is "What I Call" Dark Rides. The implications are, again, limitless with such an installation and I am already impressed (Note, I am a MARVEL fan, not a new age fanboy who only caught on after the Disney acquisition) . The Joker's face is cartoonish, but that is the same for who he really is, a cartoonish freak. Well played Sally and SIX, I may be taking a detour just to go to a Six Flags park this Summer.

(Well, I thought I posted this last week but my phone clearly did not want to I guess?) With the Off Season winter blues are here, it is hard not to think of riding The Beast or going on The Bat for the famous Fall rides that I personally love. BUT there are still thrills to be had in Cincy. So this week's question is: What are your off season thrills? Any hidden gems you want to share?

What, do you not like cows? Meow? Meow? Meow?

In regards to Terp's post, look up I See Fire by Ed Sheeran and look at the Flight of Fear photos. But I cannot discredit alot of what dtk said as I could see alot of that happening. Now of course the Haunts I believe are stationary, an alternate spot could be arranged I would believe if applicable. This would permit us to see Santa or Snoopy (Santa-Snoopy?!) in one location, cookies in another, etc. The S'mores.......yeah you need to get those passed.

I think if, IF we were to get a WinterFest, we would see it in 2015. The reason would be for The Beach to have a run with it, see how they go with it, then if it is a success, it would probably be greater at Kings Island. Secondly, the addition of the Flyers are a key attraction for the new WinterFest. The Flyers would be very nostalgic and as well the Starbucks would rake in the Bucks too. It would be the PERFECT year to do so, after a couple of years of owning KI. We already have lights at the I-Street, and lights could easily be put up in the time used to take down the Haunt props. Also, The Beach Waterpark, are you the real deal or an enthusiast? I agree that you could be put as the real deal and your posts are far but official to say the least, so clarification would be loved.
