I should have said "Carl". Only some would understand why that answer is funny. However with the panties in a wad, people would have sought for a Carl that works at Kings Island. To clarify I am fairly certain said employee is not Carl. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is a pic of the chicken, fries and delicious garlic bread from Chicken Shack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was looking for the pics this evening. I am not seeing them yet for the event. I imagine they may not be up until the beginning of the week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've met Terpy. In fact, I met him at my first meet up on closing day last year. He was at Media Day and opening day. Maybe he comes to the park on days he knows I will be there. Some days I crack myself up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am presuming it helps because it would make you stretch your midsection a little bit. Not sure if I explained it correctly, but I can see why it would help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Once they announce the day they host A Kid Again at the park, I want to set up a meet up. It will likely be during the week if it's like other weeks. I believe it's usually held on a Tuesday, at least the last two years were. Last year was in mid June and the previous year was July 10. The park is beyond words when you see the families A Kid Again helps. It's like what Matthew described about how you can interact with the children and just be moved. We were talking to the girls I believe Matthew was referring to in line. The one was nervous. I sure she will remember your encouragement and has no clue the impression made on you. So many families going through things unimaginable, yet the people at the park are among the happiest you can meet. This year will be even more amazing knowing I helped with the fundraising.

Row 4 has a longer belt to allow non skinny people to ride. There is a seat outside the queue to try. I would recommend trying that before you get in line. I am smaller than you, but my biggest area is my midsection and it was snug. The harness has some give and it was not uncomfy. I was able to ride in every row. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They served the chicken for lunch during Media Day and dinner for the A Kid Again event. I loved the chicken. The dipping sauce is delicious. The garlic bread was amazing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't know if there is a video yet. I would hope they would give it a few weeks until they have had the opportunity to really nail the show. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I enjoyed the show. It ranged from early '90's to today and it was entertaining. Easy to sing along to (be happy if you were not in ear shot of my singing!). The choice of music for what the shoe is about was decent. Loved the audience participation and the energy of the show. I can only imagine this show improving as the season progresses.

Five is more than many people have had. (The 14 rides was UnrealNightmare's total, not mine.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The news updates were more celebrity updates and weather from what I saw. Would be cool if they did behind the scene things. The crazy looking gray haired lady in the video was the only negative thing I saw on the video. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Because I do not think Ape will say it - he placed highest of all KIC at #5. He was "beat" by four children all from A Kid Again (from what I was told.) One thing I love is there were children from A Kid Again at the event. It was wonderful talking to some of the families. It's truly amazing to see children and families facing life threatening illnesses exceedingly positive and happy. Met a family who has a son. I cannot recall what was his illness, but last Christmas time he took a bad turn and spent time in the hospital. He was going to be sponsored to get Christmas gifts and he said no. I believe he was out of the hospital before Christmas and took up donations to buy children gifts for children in the hospital because he knows what it's like to be in the hospital. A girl who has battled leukemia since she was three was there. One person donated their ride to her. She was so incredibly sweet. What a wonderful organization and event.

Banshee is worth the wait for anyone going. If all three trains are running as it should it will not take long compared to the Friday morning/early afternoon crowd. Once they got the rhythm down it moved very fast. I have rode 18 times so far. ( I rode on Media Day and Scream Like a Banshee, not 18 times today.) It's such an amazing and wonderful ride. No bad seats on the ride. I prefer front row middle two seats or row 8 right side. In line a little girl named Elizabeth asked me what I thought of the ride and I gave her tips. She found me after she got off the ride to tell me she loved it. I asked my daughter what the best thing is and all I get out of her is "Banshee". She loves it beginning to end.

If Saturday is like Friday, I would think the crowds will be crazy. Sunday I think will be busy, but possibly not like Friday. I have to give the Banshee ops credit. Once they got their rhythm down it ran smoothly and quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great trip report Lucas. I think you ate more chicken than me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love the chicken from The Chicken Shack. It is delicious. The dipping sauce is oh so tasty with a tiny kick to it. It's a chipotle mayonnaise type dip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had 16 wonderful rides on Banshee. There is not a bad seat on the entire ride. I have to say row 1 middle 2 seats are excellent. The view of looking up and seeing the track and looking down seeing the ground quickly approaching is incredibly cool. The textured lighting at night is much better than I hoped it would be. I expected this ride to be great. It far exceeds my expectation. The theming is breathtaking. I don't know if I can pick one element out as "best". It's almost as if each seat highlights a different turn or loop. It's a whole new feel in each seat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you're bigger in the belly area it will be snug, but it's not uncomfy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Official total for the fundraiser is $98,000. 50,000 tickets to Kings Island have been given to A Kid Again to date. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's so sad. I am so sorry for your loss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
