nhimes90 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I had to go to the verizon store today and just happened to have my camera, so I took this for all my KICers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braves0511 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Sigh...There's something oddly depressing about that. I think it's the gray skies and dead trees. Soon though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtl2013 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 talk about depressing. i go by it every day. twice on some days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Oh wow.. I miss seeing that so much. It is always nice to have my worries evaporating as I realize I'm at my beloved home park. I can almost hear Invertigo now (the loud hum with the the KA-KRAK with screaming shortly following it) as I walk toward the entrance. I miss KI so much and everyone I've met there. Thank you for that photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The first thing I thought of when I read this topic title, was that the topic was going to be related to a Skyline Chili location within Kings Island. Cool shots. And yes, I agree that I am sick of all this gray dreary weather and am more than ready for some sunshine and amusement park weather.

CoastersRZ Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 No. I do not like the chili parlor that uses a gold star for its logo. As a side note, that chili parlor`s first location was located in Mt. Washington, in what used to be a hamburger restaurant. The main commissary for that chain is located near Lunken Airport today.

alluna Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Great pics, guys... well, for a rainy day, anyhow. I was spying on the Diamondback and racer webcams today and started getting nostalgic. Soon. Very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhimes90 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 I donno if you can notice from my picture, but from what I can see the whole facade of SDatHC is still intact. So they must not be changing that. Here it is by its self.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alluna Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 ^Racer webcam? There is another webcam situated between The Racers that a local news station supports (I'm guessing it's thiers) for weather updates at Kings Island. I'd grab the addy for you right now but I'm on my phone. If you google 'Kings Island webcam', I bet it would come up. Not the most interesting of cams at this time of year...

KIfan1980 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 While I had a 4-way from Skyline just last night, I'd also recommend Blue Ash Chili (just around the corner from KI in Mason) if you want some good chili but have others in your group that are not fans of "Cincinnati Style" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofywdw Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I find myself taking the long way home as much as I can now just so I can pass by the park. Does anyone know if they are going to change the parking lot signs to names of Snoopy characters. Like for example they have row Invertigo 5 or something like that. Anyone think they will change them to the name of the Peanut Gang? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful, it was rumored that they recently changed the SoB signs to Diamondback for 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browntggrr Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Not the KI skyline, but still a great pic. Notice anything missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Nice photo! I miss Kings Island already... Thought I'd share some recent skyline photos too! DropZone99, this is now my absolute favorite KI off-season picture of all time!!! It says it all. If ever there was a photo that describes the anticipation of the end of the off-season, it's this one! (I go out of my way and take Western Row sometimes instead of Socialville-Foster, just to see this very view.) Fantastic!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I can remember walking up to the front gate, hearing the hum of Invertigo's lift, Drop Tower releasing the ring, seeing Diamondback's train go up the lift and elevators rise up and down the tower...wow, the memories you've spurred with that picture! 31 days! As for the above pic Drop Zone posted, I take I-71 from where I am to get there, so I never get to see that. That's really cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I find myself taking the long way home as much as I can now just so I can pass by the park. I'd have to take the REALLY long way home. I live 63 miles from KI. Try 120 miles for me Angie! Either way, it is not feasible for either of us as much as I would love to have that option. Loved the pics Ki4life08. I can tell we are all badly infected with KI fever and there is only one cure! April 17th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast1979 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Not taken during the offseason, but since we're exchanging Skyline Pics and talking about blue skies, I guess it's fair game.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
