PhantomTheater Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 They are most likely referring to Bavarian Beetle. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 The "Spider" referred to there is likely Monster. Quote
malem Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 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. 1 Quote
jdawg1998 Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Theres a few missed apostrophes as well. 1 Quote
Oldiesmann Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 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.). Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 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. 1 Quote
malem Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Theres a few missed apostrophes as well. Those are now fixed, and some hyphenation was added.

jdawg1998 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Hey! The webcams are back up: http://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams Sorry if it's been mentioned somewhere else. 2 Quote
McSalsa Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 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. Quote
TheCrypt Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 This has been brought up in the past, and I believe the park counts the two corkscrews as one. 2 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 ^ Thats almost like counting both of The Beast's lift hills as one! Quote
jdawg1998 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 According to RCT3, it's two corkscrews. Actually, four "large corkscrews" to be exact. 4 Quote
TheCrypt Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 ^In RCT3, it would actually be 4 large corkscrews. 3 Quote
DaveWorldEmperor Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 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. Quote

Creed Bratton Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I want to say it's GASM, but not 100% for sure. Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 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........

DaveWorldEmperor Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 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. 2 Quote
vortexfan Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Strange that they would bother to photoshop in what appears to be Maverick on the far left. 2 Quote

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! Quote

Diamondback96 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 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. 2 Quote
CedarPointer Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 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... 5 Quote

CedarPointer Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 I know... but it's not done quite right, so you can tell where they just repeated the middle section of the image. 2 Quote
