February 23, 201313 yr Not really an error, but the SEO text at the bottom of the homepage is pretty trite: Kings Island is the largest amusement park and water park in the Midwest. And for good reason. Start with the thrill rides. The 5,282-foot, 80-mph Diamondback roller coaster. The Beast that travels across a 35-acre site at 65 mph. WindSeeker, which takes you 301 feet above the park for an unparalleled swing ride. Then theres The Vortex, where you go through two vertical loops, one corkscrew, one boomerang turn and a 360-degree helix. Those alone are probably enough to make us the largest amusement park in the Midwest. Then theres the kid-centric fun like Planet Snoopy. Theres also Dinosaurs Alive! 60 life-sized dinos spread across seven acres of Jurassic thrills. Then theres what completes our being the largest amusement park and water park in the Midwest Soak City. Huge slides, wave pools and rushing rivers. Its what makes us the largest amusement park and water park in the Midwest. Kings Island. Thrills Connect.The purpose of this text is to ensure high search result rankings, not to be read by most visitors. Considering that it's visible on the page, less awkward wording would still be nice. It reads like a grade school paper rambling on to fill up the page.
February 23, 201313 yr Ouch. As a web developer, I always cringe at things like that, especially with so many free tools available to track and monitor searches these days (Google Analytics, QuantCast, etc.).
February 23, 201313 yr Not to mention largest amusement park in the Midwest? And what is Cedar Point? An animal park? MOST mentions add the "and water park." But, one does not...not like today's Cedar Point will be complaining.
March 1, 201313 yr Theres a few missed apostrophes as well. Those are now fixed, and some hyphenation was added. Still just as corny, but at least the grammar's right.Kings Island is the largest amusement park and water park in the Midwest. And for good reason. Start with the thrill rides.

March 1, 201313 yr Hey! The webcams are back up: http://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams Sorry if it's been mentioned somewhere else.
March 18, 201313 yr Well, I found an error on The Vortex page. It's done twice, on both the "thrill rides" page and Vortex's own page. "Adventure seekers roar through two vertical loops, one corkscrew, one boomerang turn, and a 360-degree helix." Now, can you spot the problem with the above sentence...read below if you can't: Vortex has TWO corkscrews, not one...unless something hath changed...but they still list the ride as having 6 inversions, so I geuss no...hope Don reads this and it gets fixed.
March 18, 201313 yr This has been brought up in the past, and I believe the park counts the two corkscrews as one.
March 18, 201313 yr According to RCT3, it's two corkscrews. Actually, four "large corkscrews" to be exact.
April 7, 201313 yr A strange thing I just noticed on KI's and CP's (and probably all other CF parks) web pages, is the picture banner on the top of the tickets page. It appears to show a roller coaster that I do not believe CF owns! I mean its possible that I'm wrong and please correct me if I am, but that looks like Six Flags' Viper or Great American Scream Machine. Just thought that was a little odd.

Can anybody clear this up?
April 7, 201313 yr I'm almost positive that the coaster above is Ninja at Six Flags Over Georgia..... But I may be wrong.... and chugh43 may be right....... Photo courtesy of negative-g.com http://www.negative-g.com/six-flags-over-georgia/2005/six-flags-over-georgia-2005-6.htm If you look at the placement of the 3 loops in this picture and then the placement of the inversions in the Cedar Fair ad, they almost look identical........
April 7, 201313 yr No, Ninja's loops don't have the 'truss' design in the top of them like in the ad and in some other Arrow mega loopers.
April 7, 201313 yr Strange that they would bother to photoshop in what appears to be Maverick on the far left.
April 7, 201313 yr Strange that they would bother to photoshop in what appears to be Maverick on the far left. - What the heck, Cedar Fair?!
April 7, 201313 yr Strange that they would bother to photoshop in what appears to be Maverick on the far left. - What the heck, Cedar Fair?! Lets forget about the dozens of rides that Cedar Fair own. Lets just take a photo from a crappy Six Flags ride and put in a Cedar Fair ad. Sure, that makes sense!
May 16, 201313 yr Can anyone finds the error(s)? https://www.visitkingsisland.com/dinosaursalive/dinosaurs-alive-is-
May 16, 201313 yr Can anyone finds the error(s)? https://www.visitkingsisland.com/dinosaursalive/dinosaurs-alive-is- What do Cedar Point overnight accommodations have to do with Kings Island's Dinosaurs Alive?
May 16, 201313 yr The original Cedar Point overnight accommodations, situated right on the and filled with historical charm. The original Cedar Point overnight accommodations. I don't know why, but this moves me.
May 17, 201313 yr Author That website isn't linked to from the actual website, this one is: http://apps.visitkingsisland.com/dinosaursalive/ Looks like an unfinished design like that 2013-season-passes one that someone posted a while ago. On a related note, I wonder if the cheese coney in this image might possibly be photoshopped...

May 17, 201313 yr Author I know... but it's not done quite right, so you can tell where they just repeated the middle section of the image.
