  1. Seeing the photo of the overflowing trash can (and many others) reminds me of how the park looked when Paramount outsourced the team that cleans up the park.
  2. I suspect that an octoberfest event at ki would have too much competition from all the other local octoberfests.
  3. Sad to see it go. I think it added a lot of atmosphere to the area. Also I am sad to see another water ride bite the dust.
  4. Wilmington Haunted Hollow Ride is really unique. You get on a bus which goes thru some haunted areas then 2 fire breating semi trucks chase you.
  5. Agreed. I also worked with her and she is a rock star!
  6. The bee issue with the outside fountain drinks is such a problem. It is not a good look for the park when guests go to fill their drink they just paid for and have to worry about all the bees around the drink machines. The same for the employees working these stations. Also you are drinking what ever was on the bees feet when the walked on the machine nozzles. And no one wants to get stung but what about people allergic to bee stings?
  7. I worked White Water several times in 2002 and 2003 and can attest to the operator having control of 2 of the blasters across from the guest operated ones. I was in the guest area last year and didn't notice any blasters going off that were not coin operated. I wonder if Kings Island changed this at some point.
  8. Millenium Flyers are great trains and i would love to see them on The Beast and Racer.
  9. Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster, a "dive" coaster similar to Hang Time.
  10. I think that Holiday World is certainly more directly impacted by the goings on at Kentucky Kingdom than KI. If Hershend treats KK like Wild Adventures then Holiday World will probably be in a better position than when Ed Hart was running the show. Time will tell.
  11. I love everything about Mystic Timbers! The theme, the layout, the logo, the merch.... Oh and the ride kicks serious butt. So smooth, great trains, fast and furious, rapid fire ride!
  12. As for Herschend, see Wild Adventures in Valdosta GA.... Yikes. Nowhere close to Dollywood or Silver Dollar City.
  13. It is out of view from the midways, I bet it will remain a haunt for quite a while. We have the old Crypt building that is in plain sight and they do not seem too concerned about that one.
  14. I vote Banshee. I am not a fan of the vests. They make me feel clostrophobic and it really does not have any quick transitions that i see could be head banging moments. Lastly it is the only B&M invert that i feel has a really bad rough rattle and i suspect it may be the trains.
  15. I have overheard guests numerous times over the past couple years asking each other what the old arcade building is for or what is in it. It certainly seems like there could be a better use of that real estate. It is highly visible and right on the midway.
