fear fest 2000
I remember the Mummy one from a couple years later. Didn't they have an area where you could crawl through? I didn't go that way because I get claustrophobic.

Are You Glad Kings Island Pulled the Displays of Dead Celebrities from Haunt?
Nice attempt to use large words, but I think all of them, except for undeniable, is spelled incorrectly. Indubitably.

Are You Glad Kings Island Pulled the Displays of Dead Celebrities from Haunt?
Not that I'm offended, but I still see how people could be, but wanted to add, they also had his shirt with a #9 painted on it which was McNair's number. Personally, I hated the guy as a player because he played for 2 of my least favorite teams (Titans and Ravens) and he wouldn't stop winning; but please stop saying that he "put himself in that situation". He had a relationship with a woman. He didn't know she was going to kill him. People get married to people who are normal when they are together and then they snap and kill their spouses. Did they put themselves in that situation? Seriously, get off the high horse. People make mistakes and people usually learn from them (or hopefully get the opportunity to). You might do good to remember that when you make a mistake instead of flat out condemning.

I wouldn't say so. Like I said, I'd be fine with them showing McNair as a skeleton playing ball because it's what he was known for and what he loved to do. Everett loved football and probably wouldn't mind seeing that for himself either. Now if they had a skeleton with his jersey on and it was lying on the ground with a paramedic crew around it like a scene of him after his career ending injury; again, that's just bad taste.

Haunt Attendance Roll Call 1st Night
I'll be there. I might be in the market for some fresh meat. What are your prices like? I hope they're "to die for".

And I believe they've done stuff like that in the past. I believe they had a scene one year (or multiple years) that showed skeletons playing football and I believe one of the ones on the bench was Chad Johnson (had an 85 jersey). I mean, that's just a funny scene of skeletons acting like football players. It's not portraying an actual event.

I think the scenes would have gone over better if they had put the skeletons in positions portraying things that the celebrities were more well known for. Like show McNair with a football in hand about to pass it. Or Ledger in his Joker costume. I'd be all for something like that. For instance, if they had an Elvis skeleton, I'd much rather see him in front of a microphone than laying next to a toilet with his pants around his ankles. Why show the actual way they died? That's just morbid. If you want to use it as an excuse to "remember" the dead, then remember what made them famous in the first place, not the circumstances of their end.

Cedar Point or Kings Island for Halloween
Aww, I wonder why. It was always packed when they did them. That sucks. Okay, CP only has 1 edge over KI then.

Cedar Point or Kings Island for Halloween
The 2 edges I give to CP over KI are the scare zones where you just walk through an area that's covered in fog and scare actors. Love being able to go through a 'Haunt' without having to wait. And the second thing I love are their Poe ghost stories in the little shack back by Snake River Falls. They have different actors sit and tell very intense versions of Poe stories. They're pretty fun to watch and the performers are usually really good. Wish KI would bring something in like that.

In one of the shop windows on I-Street. When facing the Tower it's on the left side, I believe in one of the last windows on I-street.

The beast rides (2009)
I woudn't say it's hard to not focus on them just because they're talked about a lot here. I mean, take the first drop for instance. Is there any worse and more disorienting feeling on a coaster than going down a hill, you know you should be picking up speed, but you feel the coaster slow down? That just kills a drop right there.

Actually, that along with a motionless and left for dead SOB just makes me weep for the park. At least we have Diamondback.

The beast rides (2009)
I'd have to say pretty much every ride I've had on The Beast this year has seemed slow. The trims really kill it. I can see why so many people who travel across the country to ride The Beast for the first time label it as "over hyped".

Didn't they have Owen Wilson's name on Death's List the year he tried to commit suicide, but then it had an 'X' through it? That was funny but a bit cold. I had one of those "That's just not right" chuckles at it.

I got nothing against people enjoying it, so no need to apologize (that's why I always add "in my opinion"). I just think it's been very overrated and will be even more so now that it's gone.

If that was one of the best shows then that's a bit insulting, in my opinion. They had a neat idea, but then broke into songs that had nothing to do with the theme of the show and just ruined it. Just because a song is popular at the time does not mean it needs to be in a show.

There's a lot of skinless stuff in the slaughter house, eh? How often do you think people will see that skeleton MJ and say, "Too soon!"?

The Beast Lift Hill Music...
Kat's right. It's from Independence Day. I can't confirm anywhere but I know the music.

Best haunt moments
When I was going through The Cemetery with some friends, one of them ran into a tombstone and scraped his ankle and when he looked down at it through the fog, he found a dollar.

Someone really needs to proofread their articles. "The lines on those lines"? "the kids zone was Hannah Barbara Land and no complained"? Ugh.

There's a Valentine special?

Article: Save Money at Kings Island
I actually thought that was one of the better ideas. Especially if you go with kids; you'd think that the Great Pumpkin had just appeared when they wheel out those carts with the light up toys and glow necklaces. The dollar store sells all that stuff, so you can get a couple things, then when they carts come out just give the kids your own cheap stuff and you'll avoid all the nagging to buy something.

To add to this, why can't you throw loose articles on rides?
