You guys know what's going on with that crane by the queue?

Time for a ferris wheel.

I'd rather they eat themselves than eat other parents. For goodness sake, it's a buffet, they HAVE to be able to find something more to eat than other people!

Hope you get better soon, Kitten.

I think KI puts out info on when they're hiring for the Haunt.

To the upper right of the dude in the blond hair, green shirt and sunglasses?

Yeah! Smurfs! And yeah, Trevor, I remember the concession at The Beast line. That was always a nice touch. Right now, I miss Diamondback. I want to go back and ride it.

lol, I'm having trouble finding you.

I'll just let you guys scare me.

When in line for DB on Saturday morning, we ran into someone's gum on the steps leading up to the station (someone had stuck it on the wood on down near the ground). My fiance kicked it off and to the ground. Really, the trash can is right at the top of the stairs. I mean, the ride was only open for about and hour and 40 minutes by that time and someone had already started with the gum. It was ironic because just a couple minutes before that when we were in the queue where you go under the lift; there are those wooden walls there and I jokingly made a comment that we should admire these walls now because in a few months they were going to be covered in gun and lord knows what else.

It's never too early to think about anything.

Yes, buy a season pass when I only need one day at the park... You need more than one day at the park or you'll get worms.

I agree. The more events like this the better. I like that they're making KI more than just a park for rides, but a venue for events.

How long do you guys think the temporary queue will stay up?

Why are they called "action sports"? Are they supposed to have more action than football, or soccer or Nascar?

Woohoo, the cam is back up. I was going through withdraws not being able to see anything. Got a new view of the exit and entrance close up, I guess so we can see people trying out the test seat. Edit: Seems like we're getting a longer cam cycle.

Great report. I may need to put one of your panoramic pics on my PC background at work if you don't mind.

lol, thanks, I thought they were pretty sweet. I may have to try and win one this season.

lol, your friend sitting next to you looks freaked out.

Thanks Ashers. Yeah, I guess we'll find out from those that go this Friday and Saturday if anything has changed. It was a real mess trying to figure out which crowd was the right crowd to be in for a while there. It was kind of funny while in that crowd by Scooby's; we were packed in like sardines, but then every once in a while there would be this big rush of people moving forward. I was like, "How did this space just open up? Did someone just collapse up there or something? Are we trampling people?!"

1. Kings Island (Since I go there the most) 2. Disney World (Since it's where I want to go the most) 3. Cedar Point 4. Holiday World 5. Disneyland

Hehehe...Good luck.

I actually got mine from the dispenser up by the front gate. But then, I did see one of the girls in the very yellow outfits carrying a bunch of them in her pocket to be handed out. That seems like a nice touch.

I would say so. We haven't gotten past the frost season yet.

Yeah, and this isn't a topic about the webcam currently having problems like the other one is. This is a topic about what it is doing when it starts working again.
