Oldiesmann Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 For some reason, everytime I hear about the show, I'm reminded of the classic 1966 surf movie (The Endless Summer). Will have to check it out though Quote
Dalefan Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Being open till midnight is a plus. Means more night rides on The Beast. Quote
Fear the Four Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I watched the first show today i was the kid in the very back clapping loud as i could. Quote

coaster_junky Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 or one running between Son of Beast and Diamondback. Quote
SOB_TOM Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I'm going to take a wild guess and say the path will be the same, Eiffel Tower out past the gate (or to the gate) and thats it. Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Sunday was Worlds of Fun: ...After he concludes his theme park tour, he will start making plans for his next big accomplishment: walking across the Grand Canyon on a high wire.The event will be televised and will be held in memory of his grandfather, who fell to his death during a high-wire performance in 1978. http://www.kansascity.com/679/story/125209...nk=omni_popular Quote
House Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 For some reason, everytime I hear about the show, I'm reminded of the classic 1966 surf movie (The Endless Summer). Will have to check it out though Thats a great movie, I have the DVD. I also enjoy Endless Summer 2!! Quote
Oldiesmann Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I have that one as well, but I like the original better. Quote

Thrill_Biscuit Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Sweeter still, and a feat of endurance... would be this: Eric Liming Only people who are familiar with Mason, or who approach Kings Island from Tylersville Road might get this one... Quote
goofywdw Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 ^hahahaha I used to live in Mason and pass that almost every day. Maybe that is why SOB is closed, he is going to walk from the structure to another ride that is always closed....The Crypt! Quote
standbyme Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I just looked at the park's e-mail about the walk... it appears that it will be about the same set-up as last time, from the tower to the entrance. I was hoping for something a little different...but on the other hand since I am going to KIC Day the following week I now won't have to drive back and forth 2 weekends straight. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Well it did say over 200 ft compared to the nearly 60ft Rick did. Quote
standbyme Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Well it did say over 200 ft compared to the nearly 60ft Rick did. Yes...I read over that little "fact"...but on the other hand, the park back then hyped that the height was 112 feet high for Rick's walk, not 60...so what will the 262 foot height REALLY be? Quote
