italianchef Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 What if you were to get married - or renew your vows if you are already married - at Kings Island? Which area would you chose? And specifically, which ride/attraction/place would your wedding be at? How would it be special? Italian Chef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOFirehawkFAN Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 No question the Eiffel Tower for the scenic view and romance and all that. Now for a spontaneous thrilling wedding do say your vows inside the slingshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browntggrr Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 From the humorous side of things: If you are going to do the big splash, it would have to be on Amazon Falls. If things have been rough, renew your vows on SoB. Getting cold feet? FoF would be the way to go. Not your first attempt at taking the vows? Do it again on AE. Expecting a competitive marrige? Let Racer decide who will make the decision. (Just leave it to the imagination of who will do it backwards .) Pain in the a$$ mother-in-law? Show her that you are dropping into her family on DT. With a smile of course (and the threat of her restraint becoming undone)! Are you a fat white guy with a super-model future wife? FOC makes the most sense. Getting married to a much older person? Take a trip on the Crypt. Ahhh. the list could go on and on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Drop Tower. Say the vows on the way up and then kiss the bride after the ride is over. No wonder I'm not married................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Drop Tower. Say the vows on the way up and then kiss the bride after the ride is over. No wonder I'm not married................... ..which is kind of the way the ride opened on media day. For some reason, most of the couples were on the hefty side..so much so that some were not allowed to re-ride later in the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'd get married on International Street, next to the Foutians and everything. P.S. I'd propose on The Beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 (We went to PKI right after getting married!) We'd probably renew our vows atop the Eiffel Tower, because it's a landmark of our hometown and favorite park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor Man Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 i think that if you would actually consider having your wedding at Kings Island I would say your love and devotion to this 500+ acre tract of land is likely reaching an unhealthy level. That being said- Festhaus. I have known of people who had their reception there... actually just one. And it was a key adm. employee many years ago when Mr. Fudd was a wee one. I don't think they are in the habit of renting that out. It was Nov. 1986 or 1987. The college age park security back then had a real power trip over a pre-teen that tried to venture outside a buillding. Almost like they were waiting in the bushes waiting to ambush when the door opened. Prep for Winterfest was in full swing so during daylight it was busy, but by dark it was CREEPY. sorry a bit off-topic. I had forgotten all about that.

Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 But the 500+ acre tract of land is so happy, and full of fond memories! Sure, it's a commercial enterprise where people spend lots and lots of money, but it's like no such place on the planet! People get married in Wal-Marts for goodness sakes. Places are special to people because of the good memories they have there. Now, wanting to buried at KI...that would be unhealthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLorean Rider Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I dont know why but this topic reminds me of a lite version of this topic: Mod Edit: Link Removed I guess we've become more censored since PKIU. Mod Edit: Sorry Nick, KIC has come a long way from that, and now that may not be so appropriate for everyone on here, yet humorous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit judgemental, eh? I've seen weddings and proposals happen in very odd or unusual places. I think the idea is to try to be unique. Case in point...I was at a Huntington Blizzard hockey game and they were giving rides on the zamboni during intermissions. Apparently, this guy had set up his girl to get a ride and about half way finished, the zamboni stopped on the ice. The driver was feigning a problem with the zamboni and her boyfriend came out on the ice and proposed to her. I thought it was pretty cool. Italian Chef, I would say International Street right in front of the fountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I have attended more than one wedding in parks. And Disney, in particular, charges a pretty penny to get married in their park(s). People get married in the chapel at Dollywood, too!

But I did get this really cool hat there, so that's probably why I remember it. Anyways, I'd have to go along with getting married on International Street, and since I'm doing my wedding on an unlimited budget (yeah right) I'd rent the park for the entire wedding party for that day.

dare-to-fly Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I chose Rivertown on the poll--specifically The Beast. Not by The Beast, but ON The Beast! Now that would be a very memorable 4:50!!! We'd have to go back every year and ride The Beast on our aniversary at the exact same time as we were married. Then when I kick the bucket--cremate me and sprinkle my ashes as you come out of the long tunnel and drag them out until the base of the second lift hill. That is my favorite stretch of the ride. PS--The proposal would also be on The Beast, the vows said on the first lift hill, the rings exchanged on the second lift hill, and the brake run would be the kiss. Everything in between would be prayer, as it is for many people! Unhealthy--that's an understatement. KI is my home away from home, and it's going to stay that way!

Touchdown Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 As much as I love amusment parks, I never want to get married in one (however, it will be up to the future Mrs. more then likely.) But if I have any say, I want it in a church. I would not be opposed to finishing the honeymoon (after a nice Caribbean location) at Disney World for a few days.

Which area would you chose? And specifically, which ride/attraction/place would your wedding be at? How would it be special? Italian Chef You know, I have to throw my hat to this topic italianchef. I believe that it is excellent. It has got to be one of the absolute best topics that I have ever seen on KICentral. ( just in my opinion ) And you know what, I think that if Cedar Fair reps. are reading this, they should consider making an area of the park just for weddings. Someone commented on Dollywood having a chapel. And I don't know about Dollywood, but Disney makes a fortune on their weddings. ( I have a friend scheduled to get married there this year. ) But in all seriousness, Kings Island should invest in making a chapel and surrounding theme for people to rent out for weddings. Shoot, it would even be an excellent transformation for the Paramount Story in my opinion. But to answer your question, if the picnic tables were cleared out, and some flowers and lights were put up, the one place currently in Kings Island that I would choose to get married would be the Vine Tunnel just to the left of Nickelodeon's Entrance. It would be pretty. I remember how beautiful it was back when you could walk all of the way through it, especially all decorated for WinterFest. In a way, the location of this tunnel being right between Nickelodeon Central, and The Main Park kind of symbolizes the step between being innocent and being a child, and taking that deep breath before the necessary plunge of adulthood and the maturity required for a successful marriage. Plus I have really good memories of the place all through my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
