"When you think of Kings Island, you think of world-class, thrill-inducing roller coasters, action-packed attractions, 15-acre water park, seven-time award-winning kids' area, high-energy entertainment and great times with family and friends," said Don Helbig, Public Relations Area Manager.

...NOT what I think of!

^Then what do you think of?

blueberry ice cream?

I thought Waterworks originally debuted at 15 acres, but has now expanded to over 30 with subsequent expansions? (Or, did it start out at 8 acres and expanded to 15?)

Nice find. Cool when KI gets publicity.

It really wasn`t a "find" considering the author of that article was none other than Italianchef himself!

[JacksonPKI]

^ impressive!

Jackson, this is THE LAST TIME i am going to warn you. Since yet again, you have ignored any private messages sent to you and continue to violate the TERMS OF SERVICE (http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4128), I am forced to remind you....again (just as i did yesterday) that one word responses void of content are prohibited on this site. See the third terms of service rule:

One-word responses - One-word responses are unacceptable for anything with the exception of the forum games. This is simply because it's unusual for a one-word response to actually have any merit or thought put into it. If you agree with someone, let us know why, don't just leave us hanging with "^agreed". This is also specifically hard on our dial up users who have to download the whole template constantly with really no content in it.

This is the final time I am going to warn you, myself and other members of this site who have complained have been patient, but you have failed to listen when anyone tries to help you learn how to post properly.

You know how the business works, the park scratches my back, I scratch their back, they scratch Infosino's back...

[The Interpreter]

All that scratching going on....fleas?

The park did expand to 30 acres back in 1997. But I have heard that 15 acre fact thrown around alot of times in the past few years. I also thought when Waterworks opened in 1989 it was 15 acre's? Anyone know more?

[CoastersRZ]

In case people were confused, PKIVortex was referring to a quote in that article from Don Helbig. He referred to Kings Island`s 15 acre water park.

I seem to recall that when WaterWorks was expanded in 1997, they claimed that it was doubled in size, from 15 acres to thirty acres. I`m not sure why they are now claiming that it is now 15 acres, especially with the 2004 renovation to make it Boomerang Bay which filled in some of the empty space between the old and new WaterWorks sections of the park.

[jzarley]

^ that's what I was thinking as well. I did a quick internet search to see if I could find anything, but everything (recent) refers to KI's waterpark being 15 acres. Really odd...

[PKIVortex]

Thank you CoasterRZ I guess I should have said Waterworks, I was making it sound as if the park was only 30 acres. LOL. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that about WW in 1997. Kinda weird indeed.

It was a nice read, but I found it especially sneaky that Chef was able to sneak that one in on us.

Well played Chef, well played.

I love KI when it makes news. It makes me feel warm inside.
