No, I think upstop believes Banshee is no longer in its solid state. I'll bet he thinks it's a liquid.

A new practice pad would be nice, but I don't really "want" anything fancy for Christmas.

Local artist. Multi-year attention to a historic attraction. Me likey.

If only... Glad they're getting theirs back.

Capital for repainting a sign could (and will) be spent better elsewhere. There's a Wurlitzer, glock, and a racing wooden coaster in need of more than a cosmetic repair.

It's been awhile since you've Terp'd me! I edited the post.

You have to remember that most of the shows featured in NU are no longer on the air (though there are a few exceptions: Dora, Spongebob, etc.) This begs the question of what is really important: a current theme or a sense of nostalgia?

Why bother? Half the lights don't even work anymore.

43 & married with a good paying job that's putting my daughter through college. I was just messing around....guess from now on I'll only post relative information to KI. Sorry if I offended anybody. Peace out Crypt, I will say I value alot of what you post, you do contribute alot to these threads and I value your knowledge on one of my most intriguing flat rides ever...however you really do need to lighten up and relax. If this offended you I'm sorry but still. No way to retaliate with low and stupid jabs like this. Just relax, it was meant to be funny ( I chucked a bit), but if you didn't find it humerus (see what I did there lol), it's ok, you're not the target market of it. Just...everybody love everybody ok Lets not be like Pointbuzz...lots of bickering over there for whatever reason...maybe they need snickers over there Sorry for being indignant. I guess the offseason and stress have gotten to me! I still don't find the joke funny, but I do retract my statement about MantisMan. Sorry for getting riled up, everyone!

I guess I speak for myself.

Obviously a kid at heart.....that's why I'm posting on an amusement park forum. Probably a middle school kid.Seriously, those jokes aren't even remotely funny anymore.

Sparsely scattering a few gravestones under the ride and building a station that looks like a church doesn't make a ride well themed. Adding fog, tunnels, theatrical lights, and props make an immersive ride.

A tidbit about shows: if you are interested in seeing them up close and/or with little wait, you might want to invest in the QBot. QBot is Dollywood's version of Fast Lane except it is integrated far better in my opinion. It allows not only for faster coaster lines but also for great reserved seating for shows.

Some of us can't choose.

So is your optimism.

Slow down. If you get caught up moderating us, you miss half the fun! The off-topic conversations usually find their way back to the main conversation anyways, so why not let it run its course and enjoy the diversion?As for your second point, I don't believe Kings Island would take your idea. IIRC, if Kings Island takes someone's idea the person in question could come back looking for money for "their" idea. KI wants to avoid any kind of trouble they can. Don't quote me on that, though.

Record breakers do not set your future in stone.

Oh boy.There are two things wrong with your thesis. 1. Cedar Point is NOT running out of room. They still have a lot of room left for expansion. Consult Google Earth for more information. 2. Disaster Transport was a mediocre ride located in a hot and ugly building. There was nothing classic or beautiful about it.

A shootout probably would not go over well in this day and age. This ain't the '70s. If we allow it in movies, theater, and other amusement parks, why can't we allow it around the KI&MVRR?

I'd rather Kings Island not become anything like Cedar Point. Nothing against Cedar Point, but the atmosphere is so much more welcoming at Kings Island than it is up north. There are certain rides at Kings Island that are far superior than Cedar Point versions as well. There is just far too much about Kings Island that I would hate to change to emulate a lesser product in my opinion.

Are we talking about the same area? The area the OP in this topic is referring to is over near WindSeeker/DA. I think lopan's photos are over near where Son of Beast used to be, as indicated by him referring to it as the "old safari area."

That image is several years old. I would not be surprised to find that most of what you see in the picture is no longer at the park.

Pilgrim's Plunge is also not located in Ohio.

They would actually be the world's highest go-karts.
