We probably need a new topic called "Big Circle Construction Progress" just for such an speculation!

I think that may be across the pond good chap.

That's the thing, Boomerang Bay was spacious. I felt like I was walking the whole Australian continent when I was there, and I felt like it was secluded in the woods away from Kings Island itself. I could walk around the Crocodile Run with family in the river to see where they wanted to go next, and at the same time relax in the river as I slowly rolled down the miami, something I cannot do anymore. I knew every chip, dip, and turn in Boomerang Bay, hence why I am an enthusiast of it, and why I probably talk more about the waterpark than the community. I gave a friend a tour of what once was at Soak City as Boomerang Bay, it is a great experience in my life that I will never forget. I love Boomerang Bay, I will never forget it, and probably be the first, and last enthusiast who discusses it this much.

I remember countless times of walking through that old water fountain, it reminded me heavily of Water Works too. It brings back good memories, some I believe were best caught in the dusk of July, dozing off in Crocodile Run under the looming bushes beside you, and the old water fountain, it was just perfect in that time.

From what I see in the twilight, I can point out something that looks like a truck to insert some sort of medium, probably gravel. I'm impressed on what has happened over the past months, I truly am. It just makes me ponder when we can see the theming aspects to the coaster, in which seems to be probably May.

I understand, it is just conspiracy theories that the alien junkies have created, pulling logos to my point.

To your inquisition, I am deeply appalled at such an measure. The theme is, to the old classic theme of U.F.O.s and the classic idea of the Government cover up. The theme is the only one of it's kind at the park, and to the surrounding parks. Do tell me of a coaster themed to riding in a U.F.O. that isn't a light touch on a Point attraction which we shall not discuss.What people are pointing to are not the theming of the coaster itself, but to the pre-show element, which is by far the best in the whole park. Sure, the pre-show is outdated, but it is the theme of the coaster! Do you want RiverTown to be themed to a bunch of tall buildings, some ghetto people selling tickets at the street corners, and a long forgotten history that we will never revive again? No, you want the classic "Mid-Western" style, you want old style buildings, old fishing equipment, wooden stuff and a big metal box that we called The Crypt. When you have a theme, you must look at three things, time, setting, and placement. When do I feel like I am in when I go to Coney Mall, the 20's and the classic eras, right? Where do I feel like I am at in Oktoberfest, Germany and the Northern Europe, right? When I place a few old machinery in a walkway, it looks stupid, but if I place it in a place that has overgrowth, then it would look rustic. I may be one of the last of the many retro people on this forum who cares for such an theme, or much theme at all when it comes down to a few things. Remember X-Files? I can't help but be reminded of the show when I ride FoF, and when I look at the building. Remember Outer Limits? Well, you should. The theme itself is the classic 80's-90's aircraft hangar with a mysterious U.F.O. inside. I wouldn't think I would see a HD Telle in there, right? I go into the hangar, I see a large aircraft, where do I feel like I am at? Hangar 18 of course, more explicitly for those alien junkies, Wright Patterson Air Force Base. When I am in the "Bowl", I feel like I am in space, because I see absolute nothing, though, some flashing lights or light projections with some X-Files theme techno would be fantastic. Everything in the pre-show hints towards each other, the video, the props, and the station itself, it all helps to give that idea and presence that I am in a hangar and there is something not right. It is excellent as is, please do not change it. BB1, hoping for the best with Flight of Fear than the Rock N' Rollercoaster.

Now, the procedure is that he must get a device for them, IIRC "Rivets", from Guest Services, or he will not be allowed to ride such an attraction. BB1, who sports waterpark safe swimming wear at all times. Alot has changed Nick, for Boomerang Bay, is long gone.

Wait, when did this turn into a Media Day discussion? The two days are totally separate, and for good reason!

N'oubliez pas que le nom est pour mon ami, car en anglais, il est un nom terrible.

Alright, after a bit of research, you may need a bit of French. In Canada, you will encounter French, and as well Franglais, or French with English built in. Some of the main phrases you will probably need: Ou es (oo e)_____ :Where is La salle de bain (la sal de baen) :The bathroom roller coaster: take a wild guess at that Oui je vais prendre (oui ge vais prendre) : Yes, I will take S'il vous plait rester tous les mains, les bras, les pieds, et les jambes a l'interieur du vehicle en tout temps (S il vous plai reste tous les mains les bras les pieds et les jambes a l'interieur du vehicle en tou temps): Please keep all hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the vehicle at all times. Vous and tu are for you il and elle are for he and shee Je is for I Nous is for us Notre is our Votre is your Mon, ma, is my Numbers are simple, un deux trois quatre cinq six sept huit neuf dix, etc Oh, and do not say the female version of dog, and do not be scared if someone sais "raper", that means grate, if someone tries to speak in english and says rape, well, just laugh hysterically. If all else fails, use Translate

Upgrade/update idea's for KIC
BB1 replied to Sonofbeast2.0's topic in KICentral Footnotes & Small News
I would recommend a community extension for us, but I then learned it was for, from what it seems, less users than what we have, and $40. -
I only posted once from recollection, which is still visible, but thank you for your imput, for I did not want to jump to conclusions.

I have an notification that I had a quote at 11:01 today, but I did not see it on the topic, A Friendly Reminder.

This made me laugh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I laughed at this so hard, I was coughing at the end, but I still laughed deeply. I'm still laughing at it!!! Hey, at least it isn't a ferris wheel... BB1, keeping his histoires in the mind.
-
That may have been a good thing.....
-
Me thinks green space is a good idea.
-
I prefer a cold morning ride on The Beast than Diamondback, but hey, that's just my opinion.
-
Wait, what about Boomerang Bay? BB1, thankful to see an old sight
-
I would like for you to mind that I saw a deer while on The Beast, it was frightening. I would also like for you to not look down on Diamondback during splashdown, for that may not do good for you. Humans do not like to touch The Beast cars at any time when it is in motion. They like to stay in the rules, and like to keep their appendages in tact. Plus, I don't think that a human would like to jump infront of The Beast while in motion, that's just stupid. But hey, I'm just a BB1. I like to touch The Beast cars when they are in motion! Infront or on? BB1, who wouldn't like to touch the cars at 60+ mph.

New Paramount Parks?
BB1 replied to DBInternational's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Those Murcians, tryin' to make fun of Murica. I can't stand these people with Murcia, and Murica, it's just crazy! -
Going along with a "hit" topic, Kings Island Achievements: 2014 Edition, I cannot help but think of the creativity of the achievements. From going to BB1's Paradise, to becoming the Master of The Fanny Pack, one can achieve great things at the Kings Island. So, what are some of your favourite achievements? Just a few highlights: U.F.O. Meet & Greet Man of Steel

New Paramount Parks?
BB1 replied to DBInternational's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Not by Cedar Fair of course, I mean by future Paramount properties, operated under licensing agreements of course.
