Maybe more south like in Georgia, I wish KI was there and I lived near there. Like Phoenix? Sure they go down to Weekends only but at least they have the park opened year round.

I had just taken down my Kings Island Pin-Board so I can Update some information on it.

I was just about to say something about that. I told my mom 5 minutes ago "It's only been a day and Kings Island already has Beast cars being transported into the maintenance facility." They also got this

Pretty much on what your though the date might be. For me I think it'll be either April 27th then closed to the public on the 28th. Or May 4th and closed to the public on the 5th. Full-operation on May 12th or 19th (all 2013 of course)

Not everyone has Signatures on.

Last night a worker told me that the employees at Kings Island get these Employee days where half of them are riding the rides, the other half is operating and it rotates. I want to know, but is this true? ( I need actually employees, not people that aren't, because how would I know you are giving me false info.)

Well they were not standing, but like Hendrick said. They were pretty close.

Welcome to my final trip report for the 2012 season. I have no where to begin, because the day was pretty normal. We got there around 2:30PM to meet up with a friend. We were going to meet up with him at Delirium but we went on to Diamondback. Just to start It broke down while we were waiting, Something happened because the chain wasn't on, and people were on the catwalks talking to the people waiting on the breakrun. (Taken from my Mom's Iphone around 3:00PM) We went on The Beast, then my mom headed home while I stayed with our friends at the park. We did Vortex, then Firehawk, Monster, Racers, We did Wolf-Pack, CorkStalkers, and Club Blood for the haunts. 10X better then last time. I went. After all of that, we got a few things from the store. And went to The Beast. Now this is where the title "I spy Idiots" Come in. This will probably be the topic of Discussion on this topic. We got into The Beast line 2 minutes before the park closed the ride gates to get in. While in that line I met two ACE Members. How did I know they were ACE members? They hade ACE jackets on. If you are those ACE members, You know EXACTLY what is coming up. We were the second to last train, we were behind the ACE members too on the train. The ACE members were behind the Idiots that I will be talking about. So we got cleared, took off. me and my friends were planning for the camera but we didn't decide to do it anyways. So lets talk about these people that I know you are DYING to know why I keep calling them idiots. As you always hear "Remain SEATED through out the entire ride. Keep hands and feet inside the car at all times." Yea well these guys broke the seated rule MAJORLY. and were also risking their life all of us on the train. Everyone noticed them standing when we were going into the second turn of the ride going into that roofed section of track. I kept track of them during the entire ride. Of course I was going to tell security. They were doing something they are not suppose to do. Now best part. When we go into the final part of The Beast, the helix? They would of most likely been killed being struck by the top of the helix. Luckly they ducked, but still. They endangered them selves and others of the ride. Plus most likely shut it down. We got into the station. And sadly I hesitated to call the security while we were sitting at the station still, getting ready to get out. So by the time I tell security the guys were getting out of there quickly. They knew. They got away from security. I then ended up finding out that they were standing during the DROP TOO. In their picture they are standing. So yea. I REALLY wanted to find them or try to get more security to find them. They broke a rule, I don't want that happening. Especially since it endangered their lives, and most likely could have endangered others too.

This forum is a place to post your final ride count for any park, during the 2012 season! My Final Count (only coasters) Diamondback: 35 Adventure Express: 9 Backlot Stunt Coaster: 7 Flight Deck: 6 Flight of Fear: 12 Firehawk: 3 The Beast: 17 Blue Racer: 1 Red Racer: 3 Vortex: 10

Like wize, brand new attraction to any park in the world. Of course it's going to have problems. Not be built to the correct specs of a ride. People don't understand that when a ride breaks down for a period of time that it will never run again. If it did, it would be a stupid skyline addition to only run for almost 2 years. Besides, it's cold season anyways. It'll be the least busiest attraction at the park.

I so wish I can renew, but it seems like we won't be able to this year sadly...

My opinion. Maybe they are adding litterally a park expansion. New area? Expansion again to Action"Less" Zone? Or maybe Oktoberfest gets an expansion finally. There is plenty of room for that. ----- I'm heading there in the morning and I'm bringing my camera. A very nice camera. So i'll be getting lots of pictures, Of SoB.

I never talked about my first big coaster. The Beast of course.

It's easy to spot the new thing. They already announced it. A new skyline change. (Not the restaurant)

Everything.

I'm just saying something simple It sucked.

Obviously raptor because it's older.

Yea.. I will have to agree with CoasterGeek101 it might be out of business, sitting there with all the rides to rot.

Thats mainly how my KI route is.

West Coast people are moving to the East Coast for no reason.

For anyone wanting to know my rout I take 3. Get on 741 and just make a b-line all the way there. Or get into 75 until State rout 62 and follow that over to 741 and finish it off. Or our new favorite (Because of the new Jack in the Box) 75 all the way to the Mason exit.

I thought this would be a fun question to ask. Basically, Whats the fastest time you've ever made it to Kings Island? Fastest time I've ever gotten there was 30 minutes for 26 miles.

Whats the difference between the history when Paramount's owned it? Paramount's brought in a lot if good rides to the park.

Define, Son of Beast. Another structural failure. http://twitpic.com/b1cgrg

That'll be enough firewood to last you at least 3 life times.
