Dbfan Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I noticed that the building that Flight of Fear is in has a big 18 on it. Which I think refers to Hangar 18, which is a sick megadeth song It's actually a reference to the rumored Hangar 18 at Wright Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, which many UFO conspiracy theorists believe houses evidence of the 1947 Roswell UFO crash. The Megadeth song is also named after the supposed building at Wright Pat. Im pretty sure Hanger 18 isnt in wright pat. They say it is in Area 51 in Nevada.

XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 ^Nope: http://ufos.about.com/od/ufohistory/a/wp1.htm As a kid I was VERY interested in UFOs. I read many a book on the subject and always thought it was so cool that the remains of the Roswell crash were so close to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 QUOTE (Jason B @ Oct 17 2009, 11:03 PM) The Coke Bottle at Coke Oasis has been removed (as is sitting in the grass between Racers and AE). I never noticed that it was removed they should have just put a body out of the lid. I strongly suspect The Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta, Georgia might have a thing or two to say about that....just as Chick-Fil-A did about something else during the Boo event at Kings Island a couple of years back...

Wrght-Pat is where the aliens from Rosewell were supposted to had been flown to. Hangar 18 was said to be at W-P and had an underground complex.

Also worth noting is Department 47, the fictitious department where all this extra-terrestrial activity is occurring. It's a reference to the year 1947- the year of the first reported modern UFO sighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Interesting conversation going on. I would just like to add that all hangers at Wright-Patterson have been reassigned since the early '70's. Some are gone and new ones are in there place, others are still there. The older section of the base, (Wright field) is mainly made up of research buildings and the AF museum. It did (or may still) have a hanger 18 with a research building attached to it, this may or may not be the Presidential hanger or the rebuild and fabrication hanger. If you look at Bing Maps and look at the Wright field section it might be obvious to you, but you will not be able to see an underground research facility that may or may not exist. I hope that I have been as clear as the Interpreter is? What I do know is that Wright-Patterson has the BEST medical facilities of any base any where, always have. There is at least one person on here who owes his life to those people. (I wish they had an Alfred Hitchcack emoticon.) (sp intentional, I hate *) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Ok. Sol I have a list from yesterday and a couple weeks ago when I went to Kings Island: -There was a cloth basketball on a building to the right of Diamondback (seen going up lift hill) -There was a skeleton with a snake coming out of it on the net under Diamondback's first drop (not there yeasterday) -There were tons of hats under the first drop on Flight Deck -People get into the line for the Crypt and think it is Dimaondback -It is a little (just a little) chilly while riding Diamondback and it is 40* outside. -From The Racer entrance to Adventure Express there is very little Haunt stuff (and even beyond AE) The Flight of Fear entrance (over the outdoor queue area) says "Fort Kinzel / Press Area / Enter Here" (the '/' is the next line) And, the most astonishing is.... *drumroll* -The trains have been removed from the storage track on Son of Beast!

tweetybird 1 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I noticed sometime this year that on the side of international street that has the LaRosas, on one of the facades of the buildings,down low at street level, there is a relief sculpture of Don Quixote built into one of the walls. Pretty cool ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTCO Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I was riding the train last Sunday around 2:00ish and on the way back to the station, I looked to the left only to find the lake was drained! I know it was there during the beginning of the season. SPECULATE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VortexJunkie Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 on Sunday I was in line for DB under the track between the station and the lift hill... I looked up and noticed a lot of gum in the net. I could only assume it's because people on DB are attempting to spit their gum on the people in line. Sticking it on walls and rails is bad enough, but spitting it onto innocent people just trying to have fun? That leads me to ask... has anyone had gum spit on them while waiting in line for DB?

Diamondback FOF Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I noticed the lights on The Vortex are still on during the offseason and the lights on the top of the first lift hill for The Beast are on during the offseason. Other than that, it was pitch black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 It may be that those lights are on a timer to where they are on everynight. Or someone missed a lightswitch on the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondback FOF Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 ^^I was going down Kings Island Drive and couldn't see DB's station. I thought maybe I had seen a tall lamp post like light on, but I wasn't sure, so I didn't mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coney Islander Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 And the Drop Tower lights are not on? What about plane traffic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The flasher light at the top was on, but it just flashes. Also, the flasher on top of the Eiffel Tower was on. I didn't mention those because that is normal and I didn't think the other lights were normal to be on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
