^As in, said somewhere in these forums, plans change. Things happen, and once concreate plans turn to a distant rumor.

If it was sure that we were getting the Addams Familly coaster, than he tells.

But if plans change to the Italian Job Stunt Track, it's not his fault!

Give him some space. Don't beat this guy down, he could be right!

I never realized that high prices and bad services were fine as long as others in the industry and comparable industries did the same. If Cedar Fair wants to thrive, they need to be better than the best...not slightly worse than a bad average.

Who ever said it was fine to be the same as everyone else? Certainly not me.

I just do not believe that CF should be thrown into a catagory by themselves when there are many others out there just as guilty.

Let's not give out any false impressions.

While I do agree that there are worse and comparable situations in the industry, this is a board about Kings Island, with people who will be planning trips to Kings Island and spending money at Kings Island that they could choose to spend elsewhere so the high food prices do factor in quite a bit. I'm sure if someone complained to Guest Relations about high food prices they wouldn't say "well everyone else is doing it!" At least, I hope they don't say that.

What exactly do you think that Guest Relations would say?

I believe they would say are prices have been reviewed heavily upon the growing prices of the economy. I assure you we have done everything possibly to keep your stay as enjoyable as possible.

I have had to answer this same question countless times and this is what I say(btw I dont not work for KI)

So the path from the tower to The Beast, the "cornstalkers" location, will be closed... thus creating a longer path to The Beast! Well, I'm sure that won't stop some people from getting back there! ;) You also have a GREAT view of the construction from the employees dining area behind IS Showplace... not to mention a great view from the tower... KI, there not hiding anything! -Hauntguy

"We appreciate you sharing your concerns with us, and we will forward your comments to management." :D

No no never go to geust relations till you have about year or so to get a reply lol, and there are somegreat veiws from all over the park, like Vortex and the conventuall tower but ya.......

For info on teh park, well i guess anyone that works there, but rmber most people only have to go to HR and TTP for other stuf, though if ur lucky and can find a relative of someone that works there(me) or who actually works there(me agin) or an inganerr(not me)

^Ohh, he's teasing you. Ignore him.

(If you're interested, the Cabana Lady is supposed to be the Water park Equivelent of the Dip n' Dots Guy)

And since the Dip-n-Dots guy is here, I think he should spill all of KI's plans for the next three years. ;)

^you know what, ease up man. If you want to insult the guy, (which I do not support in the first place), do it over PM.

I don't want to listen to someone insult someone else because they have a bad rep.

ok ok here we go

Year 1

Name the Oaramount rides crappy names so that they like to tourture the associates that must say the names 1000000 times a day

Year 2

The first batch of magical cards for mind controll are givin out so that you pay 7.97 for a burger

Year 3 aka The Final Solution

CF kills off all the people that woulnt pay for the 77.97 burgers, oh and FOF breaks causeing 20 deaths and of cours ceader fair tears down The Beast so that they can make a better Hyper......

Ive told all i know

^At least someone has a sense of humor around here.

^^Dude, the winking smilie means you are kidding. Guess you didn't figure that one out.

I don't beleive any of it.

Exept the part about Cedar Fair Taking out The Beast to make way for a new Steel.

^No Seriously, I Really Beleive that!)

oh and i forgot one major thing, CF charges 2.50 for rides and 89.50 for park entrnce and since yalls is under controll of CF yall pay it!

Wyhich means insted of 7.00 anoh yd hour i get 700 dollers and hour!

@Beast1779

Cant get anything past you can i? ^_^

Does anyone else feel like their head is going to explode after trying to read Dip N'Dots posts?

Dip n' Dots:

Tell me something Rediculous, (A Predicted Accident killing 20 Riders) And I'll ignore it.

Tell me something Beleivable, (The Beast being Replaced by a steel) And I'll Beleive it.

The Beast? The Longest wooden in the world? and gets at least 700 peple an hour(not toataly sure about taht but its a guesstamate) im sure as anything they woulnt get rid of it unless a massave accedent happens on it, wouldnt it be creepy that in three years theres an accedent on FOF?

^That would be Hilarious. And VERY SCARY!

:o

But, If Cedar Fair thinks that the New Steel Will get more ridership than The Beast does, Than I can see CF doing that.

mehh well look at this when FH opened i waited an entire school day yes 7 hours to ride it(kinda worth it but i dont like going def on teh way up ont eh lift hill) but other rides around there got attenction too Zypher actually had a line! so i dont think The Beast will loose any popularty//.

^^^^If you believe that, then you are pretty gullible.
