Is BonBon-Land a good place for familys?
I was looking up amusement park called BonBon-Land. This place is apparently supposed to be for the whole family, but the way I look at it, its definitley not. Just look at these pictures. http://denmarkjourney.com/article/bonbon-land

Interesting Things Ride-Ops Do
Well, around the 2007-2009 era, when SpongeBob 3D was still playing at Kings Island I sat in the moving seats, after the workers checked our safety belts, the ride operator said over the intercom "Ok, once your ready, push the big yellow button below your seat." I was thinking what yellow button, considering I had been on SpongeBob many times before, I was a bit confused. But then the operator said "Just kidding, enjoy your ride." It was pretty funny because it confused a lot of people.

Taking my best friend to Kings Island
Saturday I belive, for drinks we were thinking about using my 2014 Banshee Cups for 99 cents refills, I didnt know you could eat in the park, thank you for pointing that out. We were considering eating Subway in the park or just eat packed food ouside the park, before the haunt starts, is the resteraunts still open in the park when the Haunt begins?

Best moments at Haunt
2 years ago, I remember when a Clown, would come out of the mist, shake a can filled with who knows what, and scare innocent civiallians. It was also the same year of which I found a 100 dollar bill in Coney Mall near the arcade on the ground, I bought Chilie Fries in RiverTown which were absolutley delicious. Homer SImpson- "Mmmm Chile Fries!"

Taking my best friend to Kings Island
I have been to Kings Island many times before, but sadly my friend hasnt, but for the past month him and I have saved enough money to buy him an admission ticket. So I was wondering if it was cheaper to buy food in the park or to go to the store and buy food for the park. We want to do this so we wont have to leave the park. Since my friend hasnt been to an amusement park before, I wonder if I should introcduce him to some flat rides first or go extreme and go on something think Diamondback or The Banshee. I am curious what his reactions will be, so this will be good. I cant wait for this weekend!

Phantom Theater Haunt
While we are on the subject of the Phantom Theater, when you stand in line in Boo Blasters, does anybodytry to shine a light to the so called monsters behind the walls with red eyes and see the Maestro and other Phantom Theater characters? ( MaestroMan's profile picture.) This was a really cool edition to the Phantom Theaters line along with the posters and the Maestro playing the organ while also listening to spooky music, compared to the present and you wait in line and hear nothing and see nothing, ( well besides the FunTvs.).

Article: Designing Phantom Theater (Theme Park University)
I should of appreciated the Phantom Theater when it was still operating, if I knew it was getting removed, I would have at least ridden it 50 times in a row, I dont ever remember a line so I would get in line, ride, exit, repeat. The reason why I liked Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle so much was because it was themed and fit along great with Hanna Barbera Land. When Scooby Doo got replaced by Boo Blasters, I was totally unsatisfied, because at least with Scooby Doo, it told a story unlike Boo Blasters. By looking at the pictures above, you can really tell that the theming for the Phantom Theater was more creative than Boo Blasters. As with everybody else, I would love to see a return of the Phantom Theater.

Favorite Haunt? (2014)
I like the giant Jack in the Box that used to wind up and play a little song and stop, and that Clown would scare the living daylights out of people. Im going to Kings Island next weekend so I hope to get a picture next to the Jack In the Box, hopefully it winding up and working because the past two years, its just been sitting there doing nothing, maybe when I go, it'll be working.

Best Seats?

Phantom Theater Haunt
If anybody has ridden Boo Blasters recently, after the "scare tonic machine" you hear Boocifer say something but I always cover my ears because he's so loud. As for the dark part with the skeletons, it confuses me at what age level they are going for. The whole ride consists of it being a kids ride, examples such as ghouls hiding behind a curtain with a teddy bear, skeletons listening to MP3 players, etch. I've seen kids crying because they were scared of the skeletons with glowing red eyes at the rides exit. It puzzles me about the age they are trying to reach with Boo Blasters. In my opinion, a typical amusement park style haunted house is good enough for me.

Phantom Theater Haunt
Thats a shame, I takes all the fun out considering its supposed to be a haunted house, all you can hear now is the FunTvs, they keep me occupied while I'm in line, but I would rather hear graveyard sounds and organ music once again.
