Jcsports Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 While waiting in line to get in the park today I overhead this from obviously two people who went to same church. "Well what are you doing here, how come you are not with your family at church?" " I dunno, why aren't you at church?" "Oh, it's dollar days. Jesus understands dollar days" 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stashua123 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 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. I do not beleive so and I do not want one at Kings Island. If they ever try to create a policy that is the same one that Tri-County Mall has, in my humble opinion, that would be outrageous...... Just because I am under 18 does not make me a hooligan who is going to cause trouble. Not everyone under 18 is going to KI because it is "Daycare", I go there all day because I want to have FUN, have memories, and while my parents may be working during that time, that does not mean I am there to cause trouble. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wish ketchup contained real sugar, Heinz for example chooses the far more nefarious high fructose corn syrup. Next to tomato, most ketchup contains vinegar and while "spicy" may not be the best description it does give it that "tangy" flavor that some may refer to as spice for lack of a better word. Whatever you want to call the flavor it is far to strong for some palates. I am the father of one that can't stand it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsislandfan1972 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I once heard a little boy say to his dad, standing by the Son of Beast sign (back when it still had the loop) say, "There is a Beastie, a Beast, and a Son of Beast, but where is mommy Beast?" I literally thought this was pretty funny because I remember his dad rolling his eyes. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnaalexis Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Easter Sunday, In Line for Mystic Timbers, Gentleman behind me...now I'm not judging or anything but he was wearing an RIP Mean Streak shirt, so I assumed he was a coaster fan...until he said "GCI is a brand new company, they've only ever built one coaster before this one and it's in europe. This is their first coaster in america." My Face lol 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I will be honest. I love rollercoasters, but I know nothing about the companies who build them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is really scary is when you meet an enthusiast that knows the names of all the engineers that work at said companies and where they worked prior. Just slowly start backing away. The only name i know is that Alan Shicke (or whatever) from RMC because everyone thinks he is up there with Einstein and Jesus and can't shut up about him. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no I totally get that lol! But... what bugged me about it was he was telling other people in line this and they were like "oh really! That's cool they would take a chance on a small company" lol no one should be told false info lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 When a few of us were waiting to ride Vortex, a woman in front of us said this was the first ever roller coaster for two young boys she was with. We all looked at each other dumbfounded and then asked if she thought that was a good idea. I'm told that one of them actually passed out on the coaster, and we all felt bad imagining him ragdolling through the ride. That's a perfect example of how not to make a new coaster enthusiast I guess. On the other hand, we also saw a young woman get off Vortex, go puke in the bushes, then happily ask her friends if they wanted to go ride WindSeeker 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOULLBEBACK Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'm assuming the train has the same songs again this year? Bonanza (cool!), Kokomo (barf), Rocky Top (nice) and Cottoneye Joe (meh)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 ^I can't say I've ever heard Rocky Top on it. Wild Wild West, along with those you mentioned, though. And they're the same as the last few years. I guess the thing with the boy passing out must have been sometime Saturday afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivertown Rider Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 An approximately 11 year old kid behind me in the MT line on Sunday was telling his father that MT was about on the same level as AE. Even the dad corrected him and said that it was better than AE. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saerenzea Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 My fiancé knows better but while on Vortex on preview day we were talking to a really nice guy sitting behind us about the old Bat coaster and she said it was a wooden suspended coaster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Ok! Also, saw a commercial for Cirque du Soliel's OvO show that is coming to Cincy and I was mesmerized; can't wait until Cirque comes back (and if things work out, I might be seeing OvO and Origins on back-to-back weekends!). More on topic, I was on the brake run for The Bat one time (it was before the repaint) and some little kid behind me said "I liked it when we went upside-down!" IIRC, I was chuckled to myself in my seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
