darwyn Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Long time lurker just about first time poster I normally wouldnt even write except i have something good to say. I took my son to Kings Island saturday for a short 5 hour trip and we had a blast! Started on Viking Fury (my sons favorite ride) and then went to congo...didnt get wet on the ship but my son made the mistake of getting too close on the deck and...well...he looked like a poor little drowned chihuahua until I went and changed him! We went to Scooby next and I dont know if I majorly suck or if the gun was broken...both are possible...and he beat me 90 to 0 lol. Then we went to my new favorite ride...Avatar! My son wasnt tall enough for this last year so I never rode it before and omg its fun! Next up was reptar...jeez what a rough ride. The thing that absolutly made my day was the ride op on The Beasti...err fairly odd coaster. My seatbelt was stuck and he came over to help me...and when he looked up and smiled at me I just melted! Not only was he tall dark and handsome but jeez nice as all heck on a hot stressfull day. (I think your name is Nick and I am in love) LOL. Last but not least we rode the train and hit up viking fury one more time. Got some fries to share and made the trek back home. It was a nice little trip...next year if my son grows oh an inch and a half I will finally have my coaster buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 darwyn – glad you finally got the opportunity to ride Avatar and to enjoy it, I too have special emotions with Avatar the ride too. Also you said “it would be odd for his dad to like the hot guy“ well it was the fairly odd coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomkatt7 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Good report!!! I don't know how tough it is to find "hot" guys at KI, but I know that ALL the female employees are easy on the eyes!!!! BTW, I wanted to give a "shout out" to the guy at The Beast with the microphone. Everytime we boarded (and we rode it a lot) he was sounding very excited about our ride!!!! He really seemed to be into his job, and enjoyed doing it. That made the ride more enjoyable for those of us riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I thought all the ride ops were "on" this weekend.... on monster we got a fast ride (whhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeee) and they were hauling a$$ to get ppl in and out. They were def on their game. I got overheated waiting on both The Beast and The Vortex, and stress was low with the ops. great job guys! deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Be careful.... Most of those ride ops are underage.... But they have done a wonderful job all season, IMO!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Awwwww! These are the memories that I cannot wait to make myself. Sounds like you guys had a great time. Some of my best memories of KI are with my family. Although, I have to admit that my bro and I have had some great memories at KI, CP, and GL in our adulthood. I rode Avatar last two years and I just think it's a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Just for the record KIBeast was taking about riding the Avatar ride at Kings Island. Just do not want anyone to get the wrong idea with the way this thread was going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darwyn Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Just for the record KIBeast was taking about riding the Avatar ride at Kings Island. Just do not want anyone to get the wrong idea with the way this thread was going. lol Im sorry. But more on topic I remember the first time I ever rode a "big ride" with my dad...I was 7 and he bribed me 5 dollars to ride the Cyclone at Carowinds...I was terrified but jeez....5 dollars is a lot for a kid heh. I rode it with him and we went like 6 times in a row...a coaster freak was born that day. And yes...he did wind up paying me 5 dollars for EACH ride...I wasnt stupid....LOL. That sadly enough was the last time he was able to go with the family before he passed. I will buy a pass next year when my son is big enough and we will go a lot...he already begs to ride the coasters. I will never forget how much fun it was hanging out with my dad like that. It is odd though that it is the opposite for my son...i love the rides while my husband just takes a book and waits for us....my mom NEVER rode anything either. They dont understand what they are missing out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
