Purchased a meal on Friday and the sauce/bread was included in the meal.

I believe Firehawk has them as well. Just because I remember seeing them more "exposed" to the elements and not under the tents directly like most other rides.Oh - and can't forget about Diamondback. I also can't help but feel like FUNTV is just part of a larger marketing campaign to include the "fun" branding more predominantly throughout the park(s). I noticed almost every transaction I made Friday ended with " hope you have a FUN rest of your day!" and even a guy collecting trays in Festhaus took ours from the table and said "hope you guys have FUN!". Maybe I'm just over thinking it but I don't remember that from last year.

Yeah I saw those actually haha. We first thought we could just use the stroller but it was to big to even fit on the one we had. So I volunteered to carry it back to the car. Let's just say it was it was "interesting " just trying to jam it into the car. Eventually after pushing, pulling, and cramming I was able to close the doors. Just then someone walked by and asked if I would sell it. "sorry man too little too late".

I know exactly what you're talking about - because I was "lucky"enough to win one for my 3yr old daughter this year. It's name is Ooo-EeeAhh. It's so big she actually still is kinda scared to go near it alone lol. But man the one time we didn't take our truck to the park this year we won it and we had one heckuva ride back with that thing tied down(but basically hanging out the back of the trunk) . They look big hanging from the ring toss stand - but it's hard to put it into perspective until you try squeezing it through a door. ]

See the Camden Park Big Dipper... And should you get the nerve for a closer look -- The box of what appears to be "spare parts" visible in the station will certainly make you realize you'll never get a second chance... To make a first impression that is

Cedar Point's Tony Clark Twitter Q&A
ChaneLift replied to coasterfanatic83's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
" Q & A is on with Don" Or "KI Bird's Eye" to keep a tweet/twitter reference Or "Racer-King Question-ing" Ok I'm done now -
Little Dipper at Camden Park in the late 80's. Too scared that the Big Dipper was going to fall apart for another 10 years or so (sometimes I still wonder if it could just looking at it ). But I rode as a teen and again this year (it's actually a good ride) We always had to bring my best friend to any park or fair when I was a child because my dad and he would actually ride the rides( novel concept eh?). By the time I was 16 my Dad had passed away and I never got to ride a coaster with him- just any flat that spun like crazy. But somehow now all these years later finally finding the love of coasters that he had it makes me feel a little better that it seems I'm not the only one that was scared to death until some random ride caught me hook, line, sinker. Thanks KI

Guess we just keep going out along the edges, always where I burn to be, but then again the further on the edge, the hotter the intensity.

What ride would you remove from Kings Island?
ChaneLift replied to GamesAndRides's topic in Kings Island
I think Backlot gets the hate for what it replaced As for me -because of that location my wife and I ended up there this year for the first trip to the park since both of us were in middle school and by taking that random ride it started the fire for us so much so that we are planning a trip to Dollywood to curb the offseason blues. So for me it will always be a favorite. -

ChaneLift replied to GamesAndRides's topic in Kings Island
I'd have to say the attraction Snoopy's Flash Dance is only thing I would change. Mainly because of the entrance/exit problems mentioned above that just really makes me uncomfortable when my 3 year old wants to go through; it just really would work so much better as part of the water park if you had to keep it Even moreso because I could envision a set of flyers fitting there nicely(maybe there's enough room or maybe not --but in my mind it fits perfectly). -
Thanks CoastersRZ! Wow. That is just crazy to think about the speed through that element - forceful or forceless - fast is good enough for me
-
So aren't the next few pieces of track going to be where Banshee hits top speed?
-
Sure hope so - as that's what happened to me as well. And I've seen part of the marketing for renewal is that " you get to keep the same card as 2013!" I really wasn't sure about getting mine so early at first, but when I realized I could keep the card all winter.. = sold!

My encounter with a wild animal during Haunt
ChaneLift replied to KI-ORIG-EMP's topic in Kings Island
The wife and I have seen two skunks this year as well - one walking up to AE and the other outside the cavern of terror a few weeks ago. But the best encounter so far was two Fridays ago about 12:30 while getting in line for The Beast. Just above the vending machine at the end as you turn right up towards the ramp - a raccoon stuck his head and paw out just above our heads. I walked back to tell the girl at the entrance and she said "yeah I keep telling them he comes out here at night but I don't think they've ever tried to catch him" We are used to being around wild animals(originally from WV so that's just the norm) but if I had been about 8 inches taller it probably would have ended differently- they definitely aren't as cute and cuddly as they look. Moral of the story is watch the clearance next time you get thirsty in line for The Beast -
Hey more power to ya! It's a good PR move so I don't think it's a problem to find the good in it and take it for what it's worth --- $1. -----
