King Ding Dong Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 ^ It pains me greatly to say this but I know what Mr. Avery would have to say to this person and I would tend to agree. 4 Quote
stashua123 Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Oh yeah! I used to work this ride back in 2001, it was called Tomb Raider! -In line for AE What's that coaster inside the building? Oh yeah it's flight deck! 6 Quote
Tien Shinhan Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 One thing that always bothers me about my Uncle is that he calls the Backlot Stunt Coaster the "Backyard Stunt Coaster" event though there's a big billboard that says Backlot Stunt Coaster in the Que 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 If that's his idea of a backyard, I'd love to see the front. Terp -- once a fan of Backyard Burgers. 5 Quote
Creed Bratton Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 I often call it Backyard Stunt Coaster just because it feels like it'd fit great in my backyard. 7 Quote
Nicolasz Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 I feel Backyard Los Angeles Cowboy Coaster is better. Nicolasz, jumping on to old KI Central trends, in the worst way possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote
jdawg1998 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Someone asked me yesterday if Adventure Express "stayed as low as this platform (station) the whole ride". Essentially wanting to know if the ROLLER COASTER she was about to ride had no hills whatsoever on it... 6 Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 And Red Devil at Ghost Town In The Sky? Highest point? The station. First drop was first. The lift got you back in the station. Turned out it wouldn't make the cycle. A foot or so was cut out of many of the supports. Supports welded back together. Problem solved. Once, while I rode it, a park employee was in the front seat, standing up, working on a restraint. Another time, same thing, but welding. Yep. 4 Quote
stashua123 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 "Oh yeah this one time we were with our friends and they entered a restricted area over a bridge near top gun but they didn't know it. We were telling them not to go but they just continued. Then two guards came. Arrested them and put them in "Top Gun Jail" they were in their for an hour and they were balling their eyes out. It was hilarious!" I was trying so hard not to laugh. Just 5 minutes ago while waiting for Diamondback to dispatch. 6 Quote
diamonbackandbeastlover Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Walking by Banshee the other day a little kid asked his mom "is that the Son of Beast?" mom said "no they moved that somewhere else in the park" 6 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 A couple women entered The Bat's queue just before me. One woman pointed roughly in Banshee's direction and confidently said "that's where Top Gun was!" Then there was some discussion about The Bat having been moved here from somewhere else in the park. After that she muttered a few times at different points about knowing she walked this queue path for /something/ before. I wonder if she ever figured it out. 9 Quote
WailsLikeABanshee Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 As I was leaving Racer's queue shortly after opening, and there were two boys behind me. One pointed at Adventure Express and said "I thought they tooked the Son of Beast of to build Delirium" and his friend goes "Nah, I guess they lied to get more publicity."

Beast Gal Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Two teenage boys behind us last week in line for wwc. First boy says, let's go to the front of the park and ride the water ride. Second boy says the only other water ride is race for your life Charlie brown. 2 Quote

Beast Gal Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 The difference between operations between CP and ki is night and day. CP always is the best day ever. Husband and I were on mf a couple years ago. Our Train stuck on the lift for about 5 minutes. After the lap they let us go again. Train stuck on the lift again. After our ride they marched us over to TTD and came in the exit and rode immediately. 2 Quote

Rustbucket Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I was on Adventure Express line. We were next to the last seats. There were two girls waiting for the last seats and discussion why they like the last seat. One girl said, "The ride lasts longer in the back seats." I did not know that. 5 Quote
King Ding Dong Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 ^ You didn't? It goes slower as well. 2 Quote
WailsLikeABanshee Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 ^^You also don't go over as many hills! Edit: I forgot to mention that that^ is something I've actually heard in line. A guy was telling a girl that, and if memory serves he also said it's not as tall if you sit in the back. 5 Quote
KIghostguy Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 This wasn't at Kings Island, but I overheard it and thought it would you folks might get a kick out of it. This is part of the conversation. Person 1: Why would someone buy a platinum pass? Person 2: It's for people who travel to Cedar Point a lot. Person 1: Can you use it anywhere else? Person 2: Yea, you can use it at Six Flags too. Earlier, they were also talking about how Kings Island had just bought The Beach waterpark. 8 Quote

King Ding Dong Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 ^ I thought Kings Island was daycare. Why else would they have have a drop off zone? On a serious note does KI have an unattended age policy? I don't recall ever seeing one. 4 Quote
