Just a little FYI, Kings Island has updated its online media kit. This media kit is now one of the best in the chain, if not the entire industry. It features videos, photos, story ideas, press releases, etc.

Check it out: http://visitkingsisland.com/mediakit/index.html

Now that is a VERY impressive media kit section!

Seeing the videos are getting me exited for tomorrow.

I really like how they've updated this section so much! Maybe, just maybe they will start putting POVs back up on the rides, on the main website!

Wow, that's a HUGE change. I'm assuming this will eventually become the complete layout of KI's page.

Edit: cool, they even used Slimbox for their photo gallery.

Upon closer inspection, Mr. Beast received some track work this offseason.

That's an older pic.

Poo, I tried.

The media center is amazing! The videos are great! CF did am amazing job on this, i hope the whole web site gets redone like that!

Renamed The Beastie in 1079???????

So very nostalgic, you know....What other park has kiddie coasters that are over 900 years old?

I'll use it for my next article about KI - which will likely be Halloween Haunt.

On The Racer photos they removed the old "Paramount"logos! lol

Does the media kit not work with firefox? I'm having trouble loading the videos.

Interesting tidbit. Most of the videos in that Media Kit do not have audio. Is that my browser or is there really no audio?

^I actually didn't have audio on most of them either.

I also had trouble getting the videos to work in Firefox, I had to use IE to get them to work.

The video player is rather screwy. In Safari it works but don't press the buttons, at least other than the playback buttons.

The videos worked fine for me and I'm using Firefox. It might take a bit to load the overview though.

i think the video of Son of Beast is very misinformative, beings it shows the loop and the old trains.

i noticed this, i think they made a small goof in the Kings Island fact sheet.

1979 – The Beast® opens, known around the globe as the highest, tallest and longest wooden

roller coaster in the world. (Currently holds the world record for being the longest wooden coaster

in the world, second only to Son of Beast.)

^ How's that wrong?

The "second only to Son of Beast" part is incorrect, since The Beast is longer than Son of Beast...

Wow I feel stupid. Guess I just read that as Son of Beast being the second longest.

Don't worry...I think that's what the person writing it thought too!
