CoastersRZ Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Oh, but how it is not the most wonderful time of the year right now. Kings Island is not open (and neither is Coney). Hurry up end of April! You can`t come fast enough. I`ve had enough of the snow already! Quote
jcgoble3 Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Nice. Why does the offseason have to be so long? That video makes me want to go to KI right now. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 And its an even longer off season for KI this year because of their late opening. But some people on here have visited other parks recently. In fact, I spent last weekend down in Florida visiting Sea World, Busch Gardens and Universal. Great times at those parks, and a PTR will hopefully be coming this weekend. (And I maybe going down to Dollywood after Christmas too). Quote
The Interpreter Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Don't forget that park closes for the season at the end of the day January 1, 2011, and is NOT open New Year's Eve, December 31, 2010. http://www.dollywood.com/calendar.aspx Quote

XGatorHead 8904 Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Nice video, I want to go now. Is it April 30th yet? Robbie Let me know if you go I wouldnt mind meeting up with you at Dollywood. I really want to see the I mean the Last Showing of Babes in Toyland. im really going to miss this show. Prop one of the best Shows ive seen at Dollywood. I'm so glad I got to see it again last month. With as good as Babes in Toyland is, I wonder what they'll replace it with. Hopefully something even better! Quote
Jasper Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 That video really takes me back to all those hot summer days and those cold fall nights spent in the park. Hurry up off-season, bring on WindSeeker and KI 2011! Quote
KIfan1980 Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Cute video. I like that KI is doing things like this during the off season, although it was only when I watched this that I realized I didn't ride Invertigo during the entire 2010 season. Quote
KIfan73 Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I haven't seen anyone mention this video from KI, but I thought it was pretty good...would be excellent to show someone that's never been, or if it's been a long time... <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKdBSIJWNkY?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKdBSIJWNkY?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKdBSIJWNkY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> Quote
bkroz Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 ^^ A really nice video. But the kind of person that I am requires that I point out that what is not shown is almost as important as what is. The "dirty secrets" of Kings Island amusement park, one might say... And contrary to what an outsider might expect, all of the apparent negligibles seem to have one thing in common: they were built between 2000 and 2005 - incredibly recent attractions were left out of this promotional video (two of which were $20,000,000+ additions!). Why? Even the ride that was recently re-marketed as the park's very first [insert fine print here] was given little more than a second of promotion (which is about one fifth the amount of time that the Snoopy Boutique facade got...) ... Again, why? GYK, who only notices things, and believes there are always reasons! ... And who also believes he is known by some here to be hypersensitive and conspiracy-driven... If the shoe fits!
