welchce Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 *EDIT* Sorry I meant to put 6/25... Northern Warren Ohio was under a Thunder Storm watch tonight till 5:45. The rain stopped about when my brother and I arrived at the park (about 6ish) yet the rides started to close. On our way to the construction site, we saw the 80s show going on. Check out the awesome wigs: We got there just in time for the finale. Afterward we walked around BLSC to Ol' Swan Lake. It's good to see that they've already started to landscape the ride and it hasn't even been announced: Since The Beast was closed, we decided to walk back the Crypt exit to see what we could. It looks like they've started to store rebar back there: ...and they are marked. Like "LOAD/UNLOAD STATION": "KINGS IS. RIVERTOWN PH 3" And probably the most shocking and awe inspiring picture from the trip : and o yeah, this might help... All pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Do you think anyone ever thinks "maybe someone with a good zoom lens is going to zoom in on this tag and read something they shouldn't." Apparently they dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welchce Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Haha, yeah. Because it's not like it was that far away either. They had a open field but chose to put it right by the path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just post them on here for him. But I'm sure he'll appreciate your applause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Very nice find with the station tidbit i would have never even noticed that. So does this mean that the station is going to be behind The Crypt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_heart_pki Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 What is the rebar used for? and does anyone know what DR and PH 3 mean? If these are really stupid questions I'm sorry I'm just a lil confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these are really stupid questions I'm sorry I'm just a lil confused. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar I was guessing PH 3 might deal something with like Phase 3, but I have no idea.

Coasterkidman Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 ^Yea, it's made to cast concrete, you could see them using it while pouring footings at Swan Lake in April. So why they are saying Station behind the Crypt, that's wierd. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Theater Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 ^Yea, it's made to cast concrete, you could see them using it while pouring footers at Swan Lake in April. So why they are saying Station behind the Crypt, that's weird. . . Maybe its just being stored back their until its time for it to be used.

Coasterkidman Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Why not just store it at Swan Lake, there's a lot of room over there. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Bombay Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 All paddle boats have a load and unload station. Paddle your way to fun at Kings Island in 2009. Where else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dare-to-fly Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 All paddle boats have a load and unload station. Paddle your way to fun at Kings Island in 2009. Where else? ^ Paddle boats would be a great fit to go with those neat flower pot holders. I've heard the "where else?" a lot less these days. Is it my imagination and I'm not paying attention, or have they slacked off on daring the customers to go somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I think they have. Maybe they finally did some market testing and found out their customers weren't even thinking of going anywhere, much less going anywhere else...until the ads reminded them they still have other choices...so far.

Coasterkidman Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 King's Island, Where Else? Wait, what's that? Beech Bend, Holiday World, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, Indiana Beech, and Cedar Point are all within driving distance? Poo. Well, Kings Island! We have Footings and loco people trying to figure it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Mr. Kinzel would prefer that, of that list, you select Cedar Point if not Kings Island. A nickel is a nickel, and it matters little which of the company's parks it is spent in, as long as Mr. Kinzel can see a fair return....
