I saw those too. I saw what I think was the same plane 2 seperate weeks on weekdays with a Geico ad flying behind it. I find that weird that they were A. Doing it on a weekday. and B. Flying a faded Geico ad? I have also seen the helicopter before. I dunno what that means.

I don't think you can find Don's specific Kings Island email on the site, but fill this out, and you'll get an email soon. Hope I could help! http://www.visitkingsisland.com/contact-us

I remember at Firehawk last year, the seperator at the main queue was giving us the employee water (the water in the big cooler holder thing). They were handing out the little cups to us, and when we got to a certain point, we would just put the cup under the spicket and they'd give it to us. How nice!

Um, they don't have a choice. And who doesn't love green, red, yellow, blue, and white plaid? That was the point...

^They didn't really do anything for Drope Zone / Drop Tower or Face/Off / Invertigo when they celebrated their 10th birthday.

^As opposed to a fake park? In regard to Shaggy's post, I wish the park was like that, as well. Next year, I'd love to see a refurbishment of International Street, back to what it was intended.

Well, that's what they did when I was there. They shut it down for something, sent an empty train up the lift, and stopped it.

But that would mean that if Cedar Fair paid enough cents (I wouldn't imagine it'd be too much), then we should be able to get it back, correct?

But the Fair Board has no use for it, so why keep it? If there's potential buyers, why not sell?

So why is it we cannot get the Flying Dutchman back?

I vote for Statix, shirts, coins, and defunct ride collectables. What about you?

Most likely not. Who would want to negotiate with the Fair Board?

The wait from that point is only about 15-20 minutes, ya know... Same is true with Adventure Express. It's only about 10 minutes for front row with a line starting at the covered walkway.

^Hello! I agree with you, kingsrattler. I think that even though ride operations (upkeep) is somewhat lacking, I think the park is on a great note this year!

^^So we're not allowed to get new landscaping, or new theming? How about new food or paint?

Girl, you did not just say that. But put in a nice pond and trees, pork flavor! Girl? I'm not a girl! And you can't disagree that that ride was starting to suck in recent years. I loved it as Tomb Raider, but that past couple of seasons have been just pathetic as The Crypt. No offense. Sure, the ride cycle was a bit lackluster, but I always went because it was fun for me. I wasn't expecting anything big, so I was not let down each ride (I must have taken over 100 rides on it last season!), but rather surprised with the upkeep of what little they had. That's what won me over, not the dissappointment, but the surprise of the little things added. Could it have been improved? Heck yeah. Was it pretty good towards the end? For me, yeah. It was nowhere near my avatar, but at least we had something.

Yesterday, the ride ops seemed to be in pretty good moods! Zephyr- While I was waiting, the ride ops said "We hope you enjoyed your 20 mph adrenalin rush on the best ride in the park." As we were riding it, the ride op had a screaming contest throughout each color section. "Now, when I say your seat color, scream as loud as you can! Green! Goood... Yellow! Wow, that was terrible. Blue! Pretty good! Red! You blew Blue out of the water! Now on the count of three, everyone scream as loud as you can! 1,2,3!" On Linus Launcher, the ride op had a game of Simon Says going. At Ice Cream Zone, this cashier (I hate myself for not getting his name!) was very energetic and lively. He made us laugh so much! Diamondback crew was doing the "When I say Diamond you say Back. Diamond...Diamond....Diamond....Enjoy your ride on Diamond..." which was nice, becaus I haven't seen that since early on last year. Speaking of Diamondback, that reminds me of last year. "You're about to go up and down, do a turny thing, go up and down, do another turny thing, and go underwater!"

I corrected my Spanish teacher on that once. She said something to the effect of "It's not an island belonging to a king?" So I guess people assume that it belongs to someone. More Online Enthusiast says the Darnest Things! Spring Break 2011. I said "Wow! Did Kings Island repaint Invertigo?! It looks like new!" Yes, I said that seriously...

^That doesn't necessarily mean that it was stuck on the lift. The Vortex crew puts a train on the lift to let people know it's down.

Lets start with the thing that can't be found on a park map 2010 or newer, has no ride name, located in Action Zone, and has a Halloween Haunt walk though in it's station. Still can't guess it, here is a hint: "Fire you SOB!" Yeah. 'Cause we always need to bring Son of Beast in to the conversation.

Facebook is there because (if I remember correctly from a few months ago) they pay in part to keep this site going, thus making the Facebook at the bottom of the screen their advertisement.

I rode Vortex just fine during the beginning of the day today (before 11), but the park got really busy for some reason today...
