The Interpreter Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 See also: MASON — When Nik Wallenda performs at Kings Island next month, he’ll be following in his family’s footsteps. His footsteps will just happen to be more than 25 stories above the amusement park on a high wire as wide as a nickel. The 30-year-old Sarasota, Fla., man visited Kings Island Friday afternoon, July 24, to scope out the site of his highest stunt ever. Scheduled for 7 p.m. Aug. 15, the stunt will find Wallenda walk from the park’s entrance to the Eiffel Tower on an 801 foot high wire 264 feet above the ground. For Wallenda, reaching new heights – and walking across them – is in his blood. He is a seventh-generation member of the world-famous Wallenda family of daredevils that started performing in the 1780s. He also is the third member of the family to appear at the park since it opened.... http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/dayton...and-220414.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Cedar Point...underrated?! Ha ha ha, don't make me laugh. That's like saying The Beatles are one of the most underrated bands of all time; it's a load of baloney. Not to say The Beatles are overrated (they aren't, in my opinion), but the Point IS overrated (in my opinion), due to the fact that it's been the #1 amusement park in the world nine, soon to be ten, years in a row by Amusement Today. If anything, Dollywood and/or Holiday World should be on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Ahhhh, it's not just me...The software here apparently botched things up for Ringmaster...his reply was doubtless meant to be to this thread: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?...p;hl=underrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
