HTCO Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I had one last night. To sum it all up, Vortex was repainted, HEAVILY and I mean HEAVILY themed to Spongebob! It had water cannons on one side of the train, where it would go into The Bat element and squirt people with water. It looked REALLY good, like Disney good! ... But yet again, that was a dream...

flightoffear1996 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 they do very slowly degrade over time, but the point is they just dont work one day and then fail the next. they can almost definitely monitor how strong the magnets are and when they need if they ever need to replace them. its not like an on and off power switch. magnets are just magnets... Actually I think if the earts magnetic poles switched there would be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 That would suck if the ride was dropping... Well, it would be bad no matter what because many, many, many things on earth would be really messed up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Last night, I had a weird dream where they tried to destroy Son of Beast with explosives. KABOOM! The smoke cleared...and Son of Beast was still intact! And Son of Beast came alive (started moving) and was ****ed off, so they had Diamondback attack it by wrapping around SOB like a snake, and Diamondback "bit" SOB, whom roared in pain. A massive battle ensued, and the Action Zone rides all came alive and started to run away (Invertigo and Delirium were screaming as they ran!), but Son of Beast grabbed Drop Tower and began smacking Diamondback on the "head" with it like a stick. Then Beast came up to help his Son, bit Diamondback, then SOB did the same and Diamondback was ripped in two. Don Heilbig(I think I spelled it wrong) said "Oh ****" because SOB was coming his way. And I woke up. Weirdest dream I have had in a while. Not kidding. Terpy will have a field day with this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle-By-Request Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 When I was really little I was terrified of Phantom Theatre...yea I wouldn't even go on Pixie and Dixie's Swingset because it was ride next to it.

Coney Islander Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Last night, I dreamed that my family and I were going to Kings Island together for the first time in 7 years. Soon after we arrived, my sister took the elevator up the Eiffel Tower, alone. When my sister got to the view point, the Eiffel Tower started bending over until the tip of the tower reached the ground. I attempted climbing the tower, trying to save her, but she let go and the tower catapulted me all the way to the west coast. In the rest of the dream, I learned a life lesson from a construction worker, did all kinds of water sports, and discovered tiny martians in the pacific ocean. Methinks I shouldn't have eaten dinner at 12:00 last night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 My KI Off season blues kicks in hard after Christmas every year. Starting in Januarary I dream about KI almost nightly till opening day. So I will probably have many posts in here. Last night I dreampt that my dad and I were at KI and waiting in line for Firehawk. The ride broke down one ride ahead of our turn. The manitenance guys brought a plamsma cutter out and was cutting on the track. They were running wire down the track as well for some reason and I stripped the end for them to attach it to whatever they were needed to attach it too. I ended up helping them quite a bit. They did a few test runs and found there to be another problem. I talked to the maintenence guys and he said that the part was to expensive to get in that day and CF had to decide to order it or not. My dad and I decided to head to Beast. The maintenance guy was walking with us out of X-Base so I asked him if SOB was going to reopen. He said yes, but there were some legal issues and some changes to the ride that they were going to make first. I did not ask if it was going to be this season or not.

kjkjkj Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I had a Kings Island dream last night. It was opening day, and we were walking around the park. We were somewhere in Coney Mall, when we saw Son of Beast start running with people on it! So we sprinted all the way over to the entrance, and started to get into the line. Then I woke up. I wish I wouldn't have, I would have loved to finish that dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I don't know whats wrong with my mind, but all my dreams are about tragedy and stuff. Because I had a dream that Delirium flew off and went around the Drop Tower (like a ring) and then it popped back out and into the Congo Falls water area. Why would I dream that????

IslandAddict Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I had a dream a few months ago where Kings Island was REALLY hilly. Like... vertical hills going up and down non-stop. People were walking up and down like there was nothing wrong with it. I just kind of sat there like... okay... And then I ended up walking down by Action Theatre and ending up back by the fudge shop. I went to the top of a hill and started to fall somehow. Pretty funny. I can't believe I still remember that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIMonster14 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 i had a dream that i was riding Diamondback and on the watersplash we went underwater and discovered Kings Ocean with like the oppisite of the rides (ex: Drop Tower= Lift Building) I Dont Get It Either!

XGatorHead 8904 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I rarely remember my dreams, but I had one this morning that I do remember. I dreamt that it was the first night of Haunt, and all the scareacters, myself included, had been living for several days in Kings Island Theater. It was getting close to opening time, so I brushed my teeth. When it came time to spit, I accidentally spit it on another scareacter (I forget her name, but I see her a lot at our late night Stake 'n' Shake outings). It was time to get into costume and makeup, but then I realized that I was never told which haunt I would be working in, and I hadn't even been fitted for a costume. That's when my alarm went off again and it was time to get up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessie8 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 i had a dream that it was haunt but it was in the summer, and cut throat cove was right next to FOF ,and had the Queue line to Flight Deck, but when i went inside what i though was Cut throat turned out to be ALL the haunts combined in one ,which was extremely long i might add,and for some reason i never left x base all the ride just appeared before my eyes. i looked around and everyone else acted as if this was normal!lol also about a year ago I dreamt that I was in the Eiffel Tower and every thing was normal so I leaned against the bars to get a better look at DB but and then they dissapeared and I was falling (in slow motion). all i could think about was hitting the ground so I did what spider man would do and shot webs out of my finger tips and crawled back up the tower when i was safly in side the tower i looked around and everyone didnt even noticed what just happened. I turn around to look at where the bars had disappered and they were there again. I was so confused to say the least! This is what happin when you take Nyquil before bed!!!lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeriewench Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I had a weird dream the other night. But it didn't involve the park itself...... but it did involve Son of Beast and it obviously wasn't in KI anymore..... wait for it.... It was in my grandpa's backyard. ._.

coaster_junky Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 i had a weird dream that Cedar Point was located right on the other side of The Beast, and all you had to do was walk down a pathway through the woods, which was themed like frontier trail and you were standing at raptor outside where the main entrance is located. and then a couple of nights later i had a dream that dorney park was located in eastern kentucky.

fearfestrulz Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 ive had many wierd dreams of Kings Island... i was at ki with my mom, brother, sister, and cousin we all seperated and went to our favorite ride and of course i headed off to drop zone tower all of the sudden, a huge wave came out of nowhere and there were millions of people in it papers were flying everywhere and the intecom started playing some chant i found my brother and we hid in the entrace to the girls bathroom there was a huge wind and the people on dropzone fell to their death i wouldnt mind spending my last day on earth at Kings Island but i hope it wouldnt be as scary also, i was once on my favorite ride, Drop Tower and all of the sudden i was watching it and the people once again, fell to their death... maybe this is a sign lol because most of my Kings Island dreams involve people dying on dropzone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 i had another one of my random Kings Island dreams the other night, we were on the "deconstruction" tour of the crypt, except we went in at the floor of the ride chamber and we were surprised to see that the walls were lined with seats that resembled a very fancy theater, with balconies and things like that, and the stage looked like the one used for the country bear jamboree at disney world. but the extra weird part about the dream was even though the giant top spin was leaving, they had build everything in the giant box around it and then they were slowly removing the giant top spin seat by seat in order not to damage anything. oh and jeff siebert was the one performing the tour, not don.

coaster_junky Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 wow, just had another random Kings Island dream. so in my dream dare-to-fly was my bus driver (this was one of those dreams where everything seemed normal until i woke up) and jeff siebert was a teacher at my school. so dare-to-fly and i were discussing trim brakes and how much we dislike them when jeff showed up and asked what we were talking about, so we told him and he got a twinkle in his eye and held up a key ring and shook it. i asked him what the keys were for and he said they were to Kings Island and that they still fit the locks. so that night jeff, dare-to-fly, and i sneaked into Kings Island and removed all the trim brakes in the park and loaded them into dare-to-fly's bus. then we drove off until we got to this big field behind my high school (which in real life doesn't even exist.) and burned them all to ashes. the weirdest part of this dream to me is that i've never even met dare-to-fly or jeff siebert in person in real life. yet they both appeared in this dream.

PKIPoodle Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 i had a couple dreams. one was that halfway up the Eiffel Tower, it stopped and both elevator doors opened and i couldn't close them. i think it started going (doors still open) after that. which was scary on so many levels for me lol. i think i had that one late in my second year of working at the park (first at tower). another one i had just the other night was that when i went to pick up my rides uniform for this upcoming season, i found they went back to the old three (or 4 i forget) button style shirts similar to the paramount royal blue star collar only they were like pastel or spring green with a white strip on the edge of the collar (which i think someone in the park wears something similar...that vacation stand in rivertown across from larosas maybe?) and had a rather large circle with a Planet Snoopy logo where a nametag would go....that wasnt the funny part. turns out they ran out of uniform shirts and outerwear tops because they only ordered about thirty of each size or something (some people know why that isnt such an unusual idea). so on the first day of work some people were wearing the old paramount blues, some wore the new greens, but of course nobody had the CF red/blues and some just had nice dressy shirts on.

The Interpreter Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Perhaps the reason no one had CF red/blues on had something to do with 031610. Terpy, who also can dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countess_of_tuscany Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I was going to start a dream topic and I found that there already is one! This morning I woke up from an amazing dream! I dreamed that I was in line for Son of Beast and they weren't sure if it was going to open. They said they were only going to let a few trains go for the time being, and my mom and I got the last seats on the last train. And I felt everything, as though I was on the ride! It was so realistic, I wanted it to be real! It actually felt like I was on a rollercoaster. I was controlling everything that was happening; it's almost as though I knew it was a dream and that I could make anything happen..it was really interesting. I love that ride, and my dream just made me miss it even more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 This isn't a KI dream, but a Holiday World one I had a few days ago... I dreamt that I went to HW on opening day with Mrs. Gator. We went to ride Voyage, and I noticed that it didn't have the Timberliners. I asked the ride op why it didn't, and they told me that they were actually going to be installed in the next couple of weeks. We rode anyway and after the second hill, we hit a new patch of trim brakes and almost came to a complete stop. Everyone on the train groaned. After the fun twisty part at the far end where it makes the turnaround to head back towards the station, we came to a complete stop right before the tunnel. They evacuated us and we had to walk all the way back to the station. Here's hoping for a better experience on May 1st! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brick52 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I once had a dream, this was before Diamondback opened, that there was a waterslide connected to teh top of Diamondback, the entrance to Diamondback was the same as the crypt. It was kinda wierd, but was looking forward to Diamondback and I probably got the waterslide from the splashdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 My grandparents live 5 minutes away from KI. Behind their house there are woods. About a quarter of a mile back is some of The Beast's track. I had a dream that they cut down all the trees near their house, and I was able to see The Beast by looking out the window! I could also sit by it and watch people going by. This could possibly happen. You never know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
