New Park Entrance
Renderings that look like a Magic Kingdom speil, meh. Anyways, this was probably from a enthusiast's memoir of renderings of dreams, like my many renderings for new Boomerang Bay rides and slides.

Son of Beast roller coaster to be removed
If I get a piece of wood, it would be the best, if I got the Boomerang Bay sign, I would be blessed. BB1 making poetry one post at a time! Anyways back to the topic, I wonder if remains of SOB will stay with the haunt, like our very great and loved (by some) Boomerang Bay items, they will probably be easter eggs to a past, that many got back aches from, but a few found a happiness only a Son of The Beast can do.

Coke Is It!
I thought this topic was by terpy, but I am fooled. Anyways this must be a rumor, BB1 who takes everything as a grain of salt.

Halloween Haunt Questions
Two words, large crowds. That is to be expected for all of the day's events. Please refer to the best Haunts first, then to the lighter ones last. I hope you will have fun tomorrow, I know I will.

Slaughterhouse
....Or bring back old classics, like the curse of the crypt, and the Trail of Terror. I mean the curse of the crypt would fit in perfectly into a big metal box at Kings Island, its a box of FUN!

Slaughterhouse
I have yet this year to go to the nightly haunt, so this post will show my reviews on the Haunt, but if its like a few years ago, its a great haunt, it just takes the actors of the haunt, which I know are great, to really bring it to life. Look for a BB1 coming to a slaughterhouse near you...

The KIC Tradition Is Alive and Well
I feel like the tradition will be around for a while Gordon, who knows it may stick around for a hundred years even!(BB1, who will probably be a resident poster for a hundred years, hoping that is pun intended)

Themeparks on google maps
Ah memories of the past BB, I wonder, could I find myself on the map of Boomerang Bay?

What will Kings Island look like in 2022 ?
Lets list this all out 1. Boomerang Bay returned (in my dreams) 2. New SOB II to the SOB remains, a steel version of the latter ride 3. Trail of Terror returned to the Haunt 4. BB1 would have completed his 2013 Coolangatta Racers 1000 (or more) rides in one season 5. Campgrounds returned 6. Kings Island buys land accross the river, and makes 2 new areas

30 Years from 2013 2043 CONEY ISLAND whats your thoughts what will we see:
I would wish for the Coney Island itself to be again a major park in the Lunken-Cincinnatti area. Maybe new land purchases along the Ohio River, making the Coney into a more larger area. Possibly a new waterpark revamp, with new slides and areas. I havent been to Coney for about 7 years now, so a big improvement in 2043 I would think. Alas times will just go on and things will come, possibly things of today that we seem new, to be gone too.

Six Flags and Cedar Fair
What happens on meme generator, stays on meme generator. BB1 a resident meme maker, who occasionally makes memes to post to KIC. Anways I hope that this stays a rumor, its tough enough with a change of one waterpark, I dont need looney cartoons running around KI yet...

Crowds Friday 10/12
He may, BB1 who thinks the same. Anyways friday sounds like a great night, light crowds than the usual saturday visitors that approach the isle of the King. If you could of went one week earlier, you could have went to the KIC Haunt 2012.. Have fun! BB1

On-ride photos.
Have you tried the online photo option for Kings Island ride photos that you may purchase at Kings Island? Please look for them at the park when you can, I believe that is how one gets it.

Son of Beast roller coaster to be removed
Limited quantity, posted on FB and Twitter, being shared and retweeted like all get out. How many want to bet on how quickly these get sold out? Some day, BB1 who is a optimistic person, like always.

Son of Beast roller coaster to be removed
Well, I atleast want a piece of wood for my wall of KI stored away in my collection room.

Son of Beast roller coaster to be removed
If only a Boomerang Bay item sale were to occur, then I could have my own BB area. (Or is KI keeping some of the BB items for a future 2013-2014 BB return? Pun intended) Anyways I was thinking exactly what PR said, that items will go on sale, it looked like there were a few pieces stacked. Look at the Blood Drums stage for a SOB easter egg........

Old Kings Island :)
I only like the Paramount era for a few reasons... A- Boomerang Bay- Originally Crocodile Dundee's Boomerang Bay, it added a few attractions we know and love today. Also it added a australian theme to the waterpark, which I love, and miss today. One of my favorite sites now for my memories http://www.KICentral.com/bbay/ B- FearFest- This brung about one of my favorite attractions, Psycho Path.

Halloween Haunt
I share the same feelings towards you also! I dont like haters either, so I can already tell we will have fun on KIC, promptly friending as I post! Anyways, my favorite thing about the Haunt, are the people who visit the park.

BB1's KI trip October 6th 2012
Sure, the theme correlated with the Cut Throat Cove feel, with BB paddles, boats, and other BB nautical items. While walking towards the Action Zone, one would find to their left, a whole infestation of spiders. With spider webs over bodies and egg sacks, with some spiders still making webs in the mix. This was basically a smaller version of the latter Action Zone theme of a spider infestation in Action Zone. Spiders include, black widow giants, large brown recluses, spiders that were on the KI sign for Haunt a few years back, and small black widow like spiders. The Festhaus was themed to a frankenstien castle area, with the graveyard shift stage. If you consider the CornStalkers area a part of the Oktoberfest area, one may conclude that the outter area is not themed to be like a corn maze like area.

BB1's KI trip October 6th 2012
Today was my first visit to ki for the fall season, starting off with theming by area. I-Street- It seems to have less this year, I wish that there would be the RIP ride graves that seem gone. 4/10 RiverTown- Again it seemed to have less, with one skeleton at a outhouse, which seems to fit. 5/10 Coney Maul- Less theme, I did not like the hay bales in the inner green space, give me german barons! Basically it had little carnival gone wrong theme. 3/10 Oktober Fest- Although this was not themed to Germany, I loved it! The pirate themed carried around the lake with BB items around it. Also the spider alley, which I found to have a great feel to the area, being dark. 8/10 Action Zone- Steampunk, well thats a start to say what it was. The area fiyted the band perfectly, all of it was themed properly. Look at the bandstand for a SOB easter egg. I liked the gears and the water tower having metal/construction finese. The eyes, the one part I think reminded me of a eye doctors office. I found this to be a flawed attempt to scare, although I liked the bugs and snakes. Without eyes 10/10 eyes area 1/10 Note for the whole park: Theming was lacking! Now for the tr, I started with going to the dback, and then the Flight Deck, it was too crowded to ride anything. The temperature seemed to be mild and refreshing. I ate at the over priced chick fila. Throughout the day there were some very amusing characters roaming the park, some who were dressed in little costumes, and others who said the oddest of things. I did notice that there were many people taking photographs/videos of the Kings Island today, any information upon that? Also the SOB demolition is going along well from what it looks like by the E-T, there is a large pile of just wood and some wood stacked up which one could only wonder why.... I recomend anyone with children to go to howl o palooza at Soak City(I know BB1 saying that a Soak City thing is great? Even BB1 is shocked!). A haunt report to come BB1

Bad Luck
The day of the SC announcement, I had bad news about a trip being cancelled, my favorite place is being destroyed, and I heard that Cheeseburger in Paradise may close soon. For me it runs in cycles, good luck, good luck, bad luck then repeat.

Dinosaurs Alive Changes
I want to see Dino walking around, maybe with Freddy Flintstone. Actually I could only ask for some more tropical/cold hardy tropical plants in the area for the patrons to feel like they are in the dinosaur age. Also I would suggest to have a more stable kind of gift shop. When it comes to the movie, I would suffice with the movie Dinosaur by Disney (Pun intended). While I like Iguanadons, I have no other suggestions or comments upon the subject.

Traveling Trash
One day I found a guy talking about how he was excited for BB a few hours away from KI, anyways I have found maps in parking lots of gas stations in Cincinnatti, but basically that is it. Although if I throw away a 2012 map, into a trash can, in Tennessee, would that be the farthest I have seen KI trash? I wonder...........

Soak City Construction Continues
i miss bb too but you have to admit, there are some good changes. Lets break this down, to many other people, yes they are quote unquote great changes to the waterpark. When to me, its just un needed changes, now as I said once before I know BB needed some sort of revamp, but not a whole overhaul that would change the park in a whole (In my mind). Now I am inbetween on how it is a mixture of my own likes, being of that I like Florida, while I like the Australian theme (See SurfSide Supplies). I see how this new step can bring new ideas and new events to our waterpark but I can only wish that what is left of the BB chain will stay, which its a chain that I can see major enhancements in the years to come at CGA and CW. The one (1) thing I would add is tikis, it seems fitting for the areas, in example where the austrian pines used to be. BB1 who shouldnt be asked about how he thinks SC has good ideas, he may rant.
