dragsterfan420 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 ^^^Yes, I think you're correct to as why no one responded. By the way, DropZone99, those are all amazing. Such great quality and clarity mixed into the great shots of the coasters, etc. It's like I took some Claritin before viewing those pics. I like the pic of Diamondback from WWC exit. Look at my pics on the first page and you'll se I took the same pic just about a year earlier. Please post more! Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 As a certified (certifiable?) train nut, I love that picture! Thanks for posting it! Terpy, who still LOVED the picture of a Diamondback train Mr. Helbig famously showed during a gathering last off season... Quote
Beast1979 Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Without a doubt the best picture I've ever taken at Kings Island. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 In the fast reply box, you hit the sixth button from the right (third from the left). Up they pop. See: It is the fifth button from the left on the bottom row in the regular reply box. For hearts, you have to enter HTML code, I do believe: ♥ U+2665 BLACK HEART SUIT ♥ or ♥ or ♥ ♡ U+2661 WHITE HEART SUIT ♡ or ♡ ❤ U+2764 HEAVY BLACK HEART ❤ (may not appear) Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Thanks. I always forget the fast reply has more options for emoticons. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Well, that doesn't seem to be working, though you can copy and paste them from my post. Go figure. ❤ Quote
Fear the Four Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Without a doubt the best picture I've ever taken at Kings Island. That's the best picture I have ever seen of Diamondback. Quote

Terpy, who still LOVED the picture of a Diamondback train Mr. Helbig famously showed during a gathering last off season... I second that. I love trains. Whenever I'm at KI, CP, or other parks with trains. I take time from day to just ride the train. One, because of nice picture oppurtuinities and because KI's train is a real steam engine. My favorite. On another note, all these pictures are awesome. Keep 'em coming. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 (Don't anyone tell him what horrible, horrible thing Six Flags Over Georgia did to their steam trains. Idiots. Sigh.) Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I've posted this in another thread, but I still like it Quote
jenmomof3 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 I dont get to go to KI often. These pics are from last year at Halloween Haunt. They are the only ones I have. The pic of the fountains from the Eifel Tower are my fave..................but I did notice that those fountains look nasty lol. my friend decided that she should grope the dummy lol And the funeral scene..........

The Interpreter Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 ^What did they do!? Six Flags Over Georgia very unwisely converted their authentic steam trains to diesel. Yes, diesel. Yes, converted. Sigh. Quote
dragsterfan420 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 ^What did they do!? Six Flags Over Georgia very unwisely converted their authentic steam trains to diesel. Yes, diesel. Yes, converted. Sigh. Wow.... Why the heck would they do that? Isn't a steam train more efficient? Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Knowing Six Flags, one or more of the boilers needed repairing, and rather than fix these one of a kind items, they took what they believed to be the easy way out. Train fanatics everywhere were livid. Quote
dragsterfan420 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 Wow. Thanks for the info. I'm truly saddened. I remember riding many steam trains and other locomotives with my late grandfather and that's the reason for my love of trains. He would sad to see the steam train gone too. At least they didn't get rid of the train! When I go to KI I'll take a full circuit POV of the train ride and post it up here for us train enthusiasts. Back on topic, these pictures that everyone's posting are really good. Keep 'em coming! Quote
pcc Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Gosh, I have hundreds of pics from KI, but most involve the kiddos...here's some from today (and Memorial Weekend) that I like: Quote
pcc Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 It's one of my favs We are gonna stay late Saturday night, and I plan on getting a bunch of night pics.....I just love how amusement parks look when it gets dark (btw, Outer Hanks is quite tasty!) Quote
dragsterfan420 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 pcc the picture of the Eiffel Tower with the firework going off is my favorite. Great pics. (Thanks for reviving the thread ) Quote
pcc Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I have more to add from today/tonight Sorry there are so many...I was in a picture mood today Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 You take fantastic pictures! I love them all. Quote
KI Kevin Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Here's a good picture from opening day. We were about in the same place. I too have a picture like that. Quote
pcc Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 You take fantastic pictures! I love them all. Thank you I need to invest in a tripod to prevent blurring. Maybe I'll remember one before we come back for Labor Day. Quote
Fear the Four Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Those pictures are great! I love the pictures of Diamondback and of the rest of the park. Quote
pcc Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Those pictures are great! I love the pictures of Diamondback and of the rest of the park. Thanks My Facebook pals just don't understand why I take so many pics of the park hehe...I suppose some people will never understand an addict's love for the place, or why we find pieces of wood and steel beautiful.

Rollercoast19 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Excellent pictures pcc! You are very creative and talented! Quote
dragsterfan420 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Posted July 24, 2009 Keep the pics coming! I'll be posting some more soon because I've just taken a few trips to KI. (I also just wanted to bump this ) Quote
