How would it really be wrong? The area would be like others in the park, in fact many kids (whom I knew) loved the fanatics of the skeletons every season.

Maybe a good idea for the next up coming Haunt is a rollercoaster area themed to Haunt. Example: Diamondback field- skeleton scene/haunted area

Fast Lane "Plus" Comes to some of the Cedar Fair Parks
BB1 replied to CoasterGeek101's topic in Kings Island
I'll just keep to my ERT on The Beast.... -
Well, for me that is really a varied thing. Perfect Kings Island, a BB1 perspective. Coming upon the Island, you may notice the old sign that stood in the Paramount era, with a slight change to the KI skyline. There is no WindSeeker popping out of the scene, Diamondback is now gone, and SOB is there in working, non threatening condition. When you enter, you may notice that you may go one of two ways, Kings Island, or Crocodile Dundee's Boomerang Bay, for now we will go left to the main park. As we venture through, we park at the usual Gold Pass parking, located right next to the inner walkway. After, we take a ride on the trams, which take us right up to the front gate. We enter to the music of International Street past, highly themed architecture from all around the world, with trees in "planters" in the middle of both sides of the walkway. A breeze of cold water hits you as you meander through the street, now we take a right to Hannah Barberra Land. The Phantom Theater is to our left now, with all of the classic rides of HB still running. As we make our way through, we make our way into Rivertown. Rivertown is a highly themed region of the west, with the KK ride up and running, as well as other favorites of today. A western show is performed at noon and five, featuring a shoot out and a few other western favorites. Swan lake still is the center focal point, a watering hole for the forest. The old walkway to The Beast is still up, with many trees surrounding us now, it is still upon a lake, which now is more cleaner, equiped with a filter. As we make our way through the area, we come upon the Antique Cars. Then we come into the region of Coney Mall. The Eagles still fly at this fine estate. We walk towards the Happy Days Diner, where it still is the Happy Days of yesterday. We walk by some of todays rides, as well as the red and white Racer, with the blue car going backwards once more. The X-Base now has a X-Files theme, with all the rides themed to as they were. After, we walk into Oktoberfest, where a German festival is always in season. The old german restaurant is here now, with a great biergarten over looking the lake. The Festhaus now has its clock back in working order, with inside a festive german show, and germanic foods for all the family. The fountain which was a planter now runs as a fully functional fountain, being a focal point of the area. Along with the old sign of Oktoberfest back in its original place. Adventure Express now has more ruins that it runs through and escapes. We are now entering the last area of the main park, the Action Zone. All of the rides are in the original names and paints. Top Gun now has more props and a new quene featuring more naval items. As we begin to walk out, we take the train to Crocodile Dundee's Boomerang Bay. Which on the train, we find another western show. Upon entering the Bay, we are fully immersed into Australia with Crocodile Dundee. Which all of the rides are in the old conditions and are running smoothly. All of the old props are in their respected places, with the paths being in in sync.(Note, no bad theming here!) Now as we begin to wind down in the day, the Bay stays open, lit by tiki torches by the walkways, as well as paths. BB1, just sayin'

Either that or it's meant to fall apart. Or ironically take naps on the lift hill, BB1 who encountered a nap while riding in the front row.

It was mainly cold today from the wind, which just made it hard to be outside today, but that is what happens when you exercise outside.

Steel Dragon 2000 receives B&M trains
BB1 replied to Maverick00's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
The Racer and Diamondback don't have leg restraints. Well, what I mean is the lap bar, it just hurts on the second air-time. -
Steel Dragon 2000 receives B&M trains
BB1 replied to Maverick00's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Restraints are not fun on The Racers and BLSC period, the D-Back not so much, but for those, it doesn't feel fun. -
I collect many things, while I do actually collect KI items as well, the BB still lives on where BB1 resides. BB1 who has to many things to count.

How long has it been since you've been to Kings Island?
BB1 replied to KIfan73's topic in Kings Island
Too long, BB1 who needs to go back to his natural environment, which is a small area now. -
I believe, that since it is updated once again, it updates by the hour, not by the old by the post.
-
...Or Don playing baseball, BB1 cross threading/siting. Also, you know BB1 takes mostly photos of Boomerang Bay, although I may have some of Soak City in my files somewhere.... Also thanks for the tip, I will use this in my own challenges.

From what I understood it showed every new post, from this I don't think so. I think it is a glitch or a bug that needs to be fixed ASAP.

New Logo Coming To KICentral!
BB1 replied to LMHConcepts's topic in KICentral Footnotes & Small News
Confused a bit. Sorry. I meant it would be cool to see a KIC Souvenir Shop, with your logo on a sign hanging over the door. "Welcome to KIC's Souvenir Shop! To where you can find merchandise of all your favorite rides, and posters of Kings Island Central. Want a T-shirt of BB1's own avatar? Buy it here for $10.99, with a price that low, you'd have to come from the land down under! Want your favorite quote on your car? Then buy a quote bumper sticker for $5.99 for all your posting necessities. KICSS, the first and only." -
I'm still waiting for those tikis and tiki torches that I want at Soak City . Anyways, I am glad for the new wood for the 2013 season, Racer is a classic that I hope sticks around for many years to come.
-
What would be a good idea is some sort of more darker "magic" show at Kings Island's Theater at night, I would probably see it myself. Its not like that ever happened before at any other Cedar Fair park.

......Or 8 mm films, BB1 who has 8 mm films himself.

Downtown Disney to Become "Disney Springs"
BB1 replied to jzarley's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Well, I think another name wouldn't be bad, but it will do with the lake; I always have liked the region of Disney, and I am glad it is moving in a good direction. -
New Logo Coming To KICentral!

I like the new over hang as well, great work on KIC! -
Oddly enough, no one really has said something I didn't miss till last year. Many of us probably still remember these, the old boat and monster truck games, although they were nickel and dime games, they were classics of my days at KI, I still see the old remains and think about what if, which I think about many things..

New Logo Coming To KICentral!
BB1 replied to LMHConcepts's topic in KICentral Footnotes & Small News
I like the new shirt ideas, some of the already said thoughts on the shirts do sound plausible. If I may intervene, I would like to pose a idea to where the back is anything you wish, for example, if one wanted a drawing/sketch on his or her's shirt, then one may do so, or just a username/name on the shirt, with those ideas there can be a bit of extra work, so I would think that a proper price should be made for each choice, if each choice can be used in an accurate process. It is always better to have options sometimes, while at other times it can be a problem. While on the topic, welcome to KIC, we are happy that you came, also, excellent work on the new logo, it makes this professional site look more and more like the best site for anything KI or other parks in general, I expect great things from your excellent work that I know you can achieve on this site
