The main entrance is in the front of the school where the lobby is and the attendance office is right next to the lobby. There are glass windows in the attendance office has glass windows outside the lobby so they can see anything in the lobby. Also, the main doors are open from i believe 7 to 7:40 then they lock them. The only way to get in then is through the attendance office door which has a buzzer.

Today for about ten minutes out of the bell, our teachers told us our safety procedures if some armed person or stranger entered the building. We were told the usual sit in the corner routine but this time we were told that if someone entered the room, we had to throw stuff at them and try to subdue them or'tranquilize" them. That got me thinking. Since the metal detectors are gone I got to thinking of safety threats at Kings Island and the procedures that the guests would have to be safe. Even though there is an increase in security, there's always a threat. What safety procedures can you guys come up with if Kings Island, God forbid, ever had an armed intruder(s) arrive at the park?

I don't want KI to get a new gate. However, if they did, they should give it an "Ohio" theme or something along those lines. Or even something to resemble Coney Island due to the fact that Coney was the reason for KI's existence. Coney Mall doesn't really represent Coney Island anymore in my opinion.

you'd be surprised. Just ask Cedar Point

Yey!! Now I don't have to pay $5 to see Dinosaurs Alive!!

All the way through Sunday? I wish

It will be. I went last year and the weather was freezing but regardless people still went and it was still packed. now that the weather's nice there will be more guests. For me, I'll be at a Friday Football game

No, they are probably trying to do that for all Cedar Fair parks. Busch Gardens Tampa even has one.

Is it me or does it look like there is a big chunk missing in DB's lift hill?

Uhh. I still see the old crappy Invertigo. Suggestions? Just Downloaded Google Earth

This will also bring a tear to your eye. Thank you Coasterbob62

You could be right. I just pulled the dates off of wikipedia which is the most accurate for dates as I could find.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_Island

Just a fun little poll on how much you guys know about Kings Island from 1970-now. Im saying 1970 because that's when park construction began.

I was not satisfied with most of their perks. I think they should have more benefits, even though they have a ton already, for levels 1-2

A new area might eventually lead to a giga but I don't believe it will happen anytime soon. Now if KI was set up like Canada's Wonderland, the situation would be a little bit more ideal seeing that they just put in a giga 4 years after their hyper was built.

Oh how could I forget, The distant sound of Drop Tower from the far side of the parking lot.

I hope the people who take down the wood have protective gloves.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwoMq6JPQ_U

Great Pics! I never really realized how close SOB was to Firehawk. Action Zone expansion Baby!! (also, X-Base possibly becoming its own section as well)

In my opinion ,besides the stores changing, don't add, change or demolish anything on international street. Leave the buildings there, leave the Eiffel Tower there, leave the fountains there, get rid of the animatronic dinosaur for God sake and make International street look like it did in the good old days so younger people, like me as well as many others, can see what the old KI looked like.

Scenery change but not really much.

1.)DB's first Drop 2.)Firehawk's chain lift 3.)Train whistle, bell and chugging 4.)FOF's soundtrack 5.)background audio/announcements 6.)BLST's soundtrack as well as all the noise that goes on throughout the ride 7.)Water splashing at Soak City 8.)Fireworks 9.)Beast's chain lifts 10.)the rumble of Adventure Express around the sharp turns

Pretty neat. Only problems: year round gondolas when the park is open for half a year and enthusiasts getting upset of having that instead of a new coaster.
