    So, I excitedly reported to a friend at work about the new Banshee. I spouted off specs and superlatives like the proud KICer that I am, heralding this magnificent, new attraction that will make us a

    Some years back, I went to Media Day for Kingda Ka. I excitedly told friends at work about the coaster, including that it was the tallest, fastest coaster in the world. A young lady informed me I need

^ I think I took care of it. smile.gif He's like "I don't know what's wrong with it but I know they're tearing it down." I would like some Cookies 'n Cream, please.

^I tried to quell The Vortex rumor and give what info there is about SOB.

The sinking "rumor" was sometimes quoted as to why The Bat was down and removed.

I thought the most popular reason was that someone died...

I know that's not true.

This is all I have to say. Fail?

look at the adm.'s FB page... he's like 5th or 6th grade.

^I take offense to that! :P

Today in gym people were talking about how they want to go to Kings Island. This kid said "my grandma works at Kings Island she could get us like 30 free gold cards!" The other kid said "Dude no way can I have a gold ticket!"

I could not help by laughing at them as I walked out the door.

Oh gosh, that's hilarious. I wonder if he actually thought that was true?

Basically every post on that FB page (except for the people who tired correcting) is an EPIC FAIL.

"OH NOOOZZZ DEY ARE TEARDING DEM DOWN???"

"Dey shuld make Son of Beast a Steel coaster"

"i love the son of the best! don t destory it!"

and my favorite

"Isn't Vortex Sinking" "Yep, that's what I heard" "Same Here"

Ever since Cedar Point bought Kings Island from Paramount everything has gotten dumber and dumber. They had to get rid of all the Nick. characters and made everything SNOOPYLAND for god's sake! and the new names for some of the rides? Ridiculous. Like, Drop zone got changed to Drop Tower.

One of my customers asked me the other day that they heard KI removed The Beast. I laughed and said oh trust me that is far from true, I've been there 3 times already and I've ridden it. His response was oh ok, good, it's the world's longest wooden coaster, it holds that title you know.

:huh: ok.

The following is a response to a Facebook status that a friend of mine recently posted:

- "Have a Great Trip!!!!!!! I Love Disney, especially Universal!!!!!! :-)"

I don't know what else to say.

My mom always says "When we go to Disney, we should do Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Universal." "Mom, isn't that a little expensive to do 2 different parks?" "Universal's part of Disney, Isn't it?!"

yea, people just amaze me, and good luck if you ever try to put any truth into your wall post, i've had every single wall post of mine deleted because the fifth grader running the page believes i'm lying about Vortex not sinking. <_<

WOW! I'm speechless.

This is from inside the park, and it is more of an action rather than something that someone said, but anyways....

I was at the park last night and it appeared as though there were some out of state organizations/groups (church groups?). Means to say, it was packed. Well around 8:00 I was in Action Zone and it started to rain. Almost ALL of the people took off and crammed into the small On-Location building, as well as under the overhang at ice scream zone, when the festhause was just a few steps away, and was'nt even half full. laugh.gif

Yesterday, KI posted a picture on their Facebook page showing Gary Coleman on his 2000th Diamondback ride. Several people who saw that picture were apparently unable to comprehend that there might be more than one person named Gary Coleman, as there are several comments along the lines of "That doesn't look like Gary Coleman!".

Okay, I can not find the thread for "INSIDE" even though I searched. I heard 3 kids (maybe about 10 years old) talking about how awesome Vortex was because it went as fast as DB but had 10 loops! LOLz

Yesterday I was laying by the pool and heard some 16-ish kids talking (and smoking) and heard them say that the tallest roller coaster in the world was at Cedar Point. That is understandable because it was at one point right? well they continued to say that it was 600 ft tall and went 250 mph!! lol then they started talking about the helicopter ride at ki and how they wanted to do that when they went there this summer b/c one of them did it last year and liked it! All I could do was laugh!

That has been gone for what 3 to 4 years now?

Something like that. Firehawk opened in 2007, and I believe the helicopter ride was gone for at least one season before that.

Four different occasions to be exact, Gemini in 1978, Magnum in 1989, Millennium Force in 2000 and Top Thrill Dragster in 2003. They also claimed Blue Streak was the Tallest in the world, but that was just a gimmick I believe. Finally, Mean Steak, Raptor and Mantis were the tallest and fastest of there type when first built.
