CoastersRZ Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I beat you by a few seconds with the link. From now on, when you post an article like that, it is helpful to post the link. I`m not sure what the resolution is on your monitor, but I certainly couldn`t read the article until I found it on their website!
UnrealNightmare Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 The link was supposed to work when you clicked on the picture but I epically failed at that sorry!
kiruler102 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Thanks Coaster and Unreal for the post, but Coaster got my attention first, LOL sorry Sk8tr.
UnrealNightmare Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Its cool lol im testing out my ne ipod touch lol
kiruler102 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 SO you did go out and buy one. Do they still sell the 8gb i only see the 16 and 32 gb. I am thinking of getting a new ipod shuffle there cool looking even though i already have a P2
violakat03 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 8 days out and a change in the weather forecast. Weather.com now shows a high of 62° and a low of 42° and mostly sunny with a chance of precipitation of only 10%. Expect a packed park if that forecast holds out.
tigellinus Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 ^^Which still proves the fact of how unpredictable the long-range forecasts are. I still believe Wednesday morning will be the earliest time to have the best accuracy.
flightoffear1996 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Packed or not I will be there to get my Diamondback ride in and hopefully a few others. As long as it isnt a Knevil day I do not mind.
jovigirl33 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 My sister and I are coming on the 1st of May - it's a Friday, do you guys suspect that the park will be really crowded then? I was hoping to get some of the opening day rush out of the way and go on a week day.
CoastersRZ Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I`m not certain, but I believe that may in fact be the first Math and Science Day. Which means there could be lots and lots of school kids there!
The Interpreter Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 It is: http://www.visitkingsisland.com/visit/visit_calendar.cfm Click on the right arrow labeled "next month" to go to May, then click on the day to go to events...
IndyGuy4KI Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Amusement Parks roll out attractions The writer did write a lot more on the Indiana parks than SFKK and KI's portion. I realize this is the INDY Star not ACE writing the article. I would say the introduction of Diamondback is a lot more news worthy that IB's free park admission this year, but I might be partial to KI. I will say though, IB is where I rode my first coaster (Galaxy) after being drug up to it by my parents with me crying and screaming. I got off and rode it again. I still really enjoy the park.
Diamondback FOF Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 SO you did go out and buy one. Do they still sell the 8gb i only see the 16 and 32 gb. I am thinking of getting a new ipod shuffle there cool looking even though i already have a P2 Yes, they still sell the 8GB as far as I'm aware. Last time I was at Walmart they were selling it. Aslo, I personally don't like the new Shuffle. I think it is too small and it has virtually no buttons on it. I think Apple has finlly went too far on one of their products.
kiruler102 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Plus if you go on may 1st you can meet up with gatorhead and others since he is planning a trip that same day... Click on his forum, Unofficial KIC road trip. Sorry i do not have the link for it.
FireBeast Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I have a huge shocker. The weather forecast changed again, now showing showers and 63 on weather.com
tigellinus Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 ^^WOW this weather talk is starting to get old!!
Browntggrr Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I haven't been around lately... What is this "Diamondback" ride? I thought KI already had a runaway mine car ride? Also, the answer to today's NY Times crossword for 4 across is seperated.
TheCryptRaider Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I just saw a part on News 5 about DB and KI opening. They were showing pictures of the UNCOMPLETE track.. Also, they said that it opened April 19th I think it'll be funny when people are going to be turned away on the 19th.
HTCO Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 And for that reason right their is why I don't watch local news often..
CoastersRZ Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Well, the commercials that KI has been airing on both the radio and television the past few days have been making a big deal about the park opening April 18th, and being closed Sunday April 19th. And yes, the local media can be quite horrendous at times. Yesterday, WCPO (Channel 9) had an article up where they said "considered" instead of what they intended to say which was "concerned."
kiruler102 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 the news should look for spelling errors or grammar correction, or word use before airing these articles and suchon the air.
CoastersRZ Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 This particular article was on their website. My local community paper has typos almost weekly, and has even misspelled headlines before!
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Watching local news can be amusing. "Today on Local Action News for You: The newest thrill at "The King Islands", "The Diamond is Back"...er, Diamondback, I should say, is coming to strike terror into the hearts of "tri-state," um..."Miami-valley," (dang!) "Inland Empire" thrill seekers of all ages! The 230-mile-high monster --er, feet-- will plunge divers -- riders, that is, over more than six giant hills of thrills --aw, there goes my toupé?--heh heh... Anyway, the bailout will...what the... Look, will someone please fire the teleprompter guy!?!?" Back on Topic: I see ducks in the splashdown...I think? Or Canada geese...
delirium123 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 looks as though the que house is nearing completion. i see railings
The Interpreter Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 ....Also, the answer to today's NY Times crossword for 4 across is seperated. It is hoped it is not spelled that way! There is a rat in separate....Terpy remembers from his formative years! Terpy...some things never change...thankfully
dare-to-fly Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I find this to be extremely scary, though not surprising. When is the last time that you saw "through" spelled correctly on a sign?
The Interpreter Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I remember when signs used the word VIA. You rarely see that nowadays...
