Which Coaster needs a paint job?
I meant the brown stain it does have, it looks like a wood hue.

How long of a wait?
If you get there at a good time, it is a wait of 0 minutes and 0 seconds. At max about +60-90+ min about 10-30+.

Which Coaster needs a paint job?
The only orange I want to see is The Beastie cars back on The Beastie, but a orange Beast? Please let's keep to a natural wood hue. I'd say the color of a red and white Racer, that would really bring a "Coney" feel to the Mall. (On a different note, I just noticed something from watching that Office bit, Dwight left KIC, but now Jim came to KIC )

"Mystic Manor" at Hong Kong Disneyland Video
One could say they could be clones, deja vu possibly?

"Mystic Manor" at Hong Kong Disneyland Video
Wizard of Oz+ Aladdin+ Haunted Mansion= This great ride of great proportions. This ride has over exceeded my expectations of Disney, and it really shows how far we have came from the first Haunted Mansion and the first primitive dark rides that Disney has created. I like this expansion to the DisneyLand Hong Kong, it really looks superb, and it is something I would like adapted to Disney World, possibly MGM Studios?

No More FUN Perks?
You still get the link in your post, try to just blot it out.

Twitter Teasers
On the topic, I thought I would share this bit of information. Has anyone else noticed that technically the Reds Hall of Fame Grille is a diversion, due to that 1. everyone would go to it, 2 it would take many eyes off the SOB field. A diversion, in more ways than one.

No More FUN Perks?
I thought this was a statement of a 100% full on FUN Perks, I guess that is what I get for early morning emails. This is a shame if this is true, I really did find more perks by this program than before, I saved a few shiny pennies as well. Although I could use the coupon, it may come in handy for a TR . Please, try to reinstate a program for cheaper prices in the near future, that would be greatly appreciated by me and my wallet.

Most Anticipated Thing at Kings Island 2013
It is truly hard to believe that it is now less than one week till the opening day! With a new restaurant, new dinos, a big hunk of wood gone from the park, and more, there is alot to look forward to, which leads me to ask. What is your most anticipated thing during the 2013 KI operating season?

Park map changes
Stunt Crew hasn't been open at the end of the season for the past 4 years. Instead, a family of butchers commandeer that location and serve meats of more dubious origin! I've heard they may be hiring this September, it seems like a job to die for.
-
Bad weather for opening day?
Well, in any way shay perform, I will wear what a usual BB1 wears and go to the park......hopefully. BB1 doesn't trust the weather forecasters.

Opening Day Scavenger Hunt
I actually thought of making one for opening day, but that has been long since quit, although I still have the file to work on....

KICentral T-Shirt Poll
That is great to hear! If I may inquire, when will the order placements start? I would like to have a bumper sticker with BB1 labeled on it, just the thought makes me want to get my order in as soon as possible!

Best themed Coaster in the park
That would explain why some places look "void" than others, with light coming in and etc. Sadly, with a bit more upkeep Adventure Express can be a hit ride, already it is a good experience, but it just lacks the "realism" of the ride.

2012-2013 Off-Season Improvements
Now it actually looks like a German festive place instead of Louisiana, I like it better now than the latter, although more rides would be better to make it more of a festival.

Best themed Coaster in the park
What if I were to choose other? Theme in a coaster doesn't exactly has the same implication as those on another end. For example, Diamondback, it has a western coaster station, and a western like gift shop, or possibly The Beast, it has a excellent background and theme to it. You really have to think about polls like this in various conclusions and ideas. So my vote? None of the above

Park Evolves To New Trends
Sure, it has an attraction called "Renegade River" with water features that aren't so lazy, which a bit more lazy of a river called "Main Stream" which still has a bit of splashing to it.

Park Evolves To New Trends
Your experience from Kings Island's Soak City does not speak for all waterparks.But it isn't just from SC, it is GWL, Shlitterbahn (if memory recalls), you name the big shot waterpark, it has something of the sort that I spoke of.
-
Park Evolves To New Trends
The same could be said for waterparks, it used to be where waterparks had at least one lazy miami, with one or so water jets and etc, now you can see a large move to a not so lazy river with so many jets and water mechanics to where you cannot relax, which from my whole life as a waterpark enthusiast, I took it as that a waterpark is to be a relaxing break from the park, while still bringing a thrill in slides and attractions, when now I see it as a place to where thrills and chills (quite literally) are in full reign and there is little place to relax in the water without water being splashed at you in various directions. Great find Terpy, it gave me some insight I didn't know of about the SFoNE

Kentucky Kingdom
Less lines make me happier by less time spent waiting in lines, making me be able to ride everything in one day. As well you don't get bumped around in any of the wavepools (Preferably the Great Barrier Reef wavepool, which I don't know the new name), and less wait for waiting for a tube in the lazy miami, which that can be a nightmare. It is good to me when there is less people at the park.

What do you miss from Paramount?
I remember when the slides had simple colors but great colors at that. As well as the lush walkways that I could walk, then there was the walk around the lazy miami, ah the memories of the Paramount era. I remember as a younger BB1, being the most excited of the new waterpark. I went through every part of that place as far as I could, I always liked going to the waterpark. Then I remember going around in the hot concrete feeling like I am going about the outback, which I went to after many visits. Everything was just grand The era of looking at signs that I get and decor that is part of a movie theme, the memories go on. Then when I went to Top Gun it had the best ride quene theme with the props, it was almost like going to MGM only in my own area. Every time I went to HB land I loved it, I would go there even today if I could. The Bat ride was always fun in HB land, and I knew almost every character in the park. I did as well watch Snoopy when I was a younger BB1 too. Then the backwards Racer, I rode that almost every time I got on to The Racer. The one thing I detested about the Paramount era is the extraction of my Taxis, I was saddened about this and I wanted them back, as well as the Eagles, which I did not get to experience, and was missed by many in my family. If only Cedar Fair could somehow bring the Taxis back, or possibly the Eagles back, I will miss them, and always remember them. The past sometimes are the best times in your life

Kentucky Kingdom
Good and bad in my book of amusement park FUN, with the latter of the SIX. Good in that there would be less people going to Kings Island, and less buzz around Soak City (Which that is just my inner watergoer speaking). Bad in that the Ark Encounter park will now have more competition and would really have to step up more than without the KK. I really hope for the best for both of the parks, although I wouldn't want to be the taxed on that proposal. Having many of my fellow friends being fans of the KK, I wonder how they are acting on such exciting news, I haven't been to the Kingdom, it sounds a bit out of shape, but I am sure when open I may visit one day.

isnt Diamondback fun!
I find The Beast more fun than the Diamondback, although it is a FUN ride, it isn't that fun to me. BB1 the waterpark and Beast enthusiast, welcomes you to KIC.

National geographic mess up
Leave it to KIC to rant about minor typos, I like it. I find it quite unintelligent of the most intelligent Nat Geo society to have such typos in a small article. I wonder what the first Beast is to them, Son of Beast, then the question would be "Who's the daddy?" .

Theming
If I remember correctly most of the theming did not go in untill around january, which was under his operation at that moment. Even if he didn't have much, he could have actually made a more congruent theme than what it is now.
