son of beast214 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 got a email from KI and the first paragraph said: Kings Island’s 40th season will open Saturday, April 30 and offers new world-class thrills, fun and family entertainment. isn't 40th season next year? 1972-2012 Quote
CoastersRZ Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Ah. You bring up the old tale that needs to be described once again. Diamondback is entering its third season, but it is only two years old (2009-2011). The same holds true for the park. This is its 40th season, but the park is 39 years old. As an aside, Coney Island is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year (1886-2011). However, it is actually the park`s 126th season of operation. Quote

son of beast214 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 didnt what to make a new thread but can KI block people from posting on their FB page? Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Sure...and they can delete posts, too. Why do you ask? Quote
son of beast214 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 i know they could delete post but i didnt know they could block you from their wall. need i say more... Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 It appears that the park (or at least the administrator of that page) would really rather certain subjects not be addressed at this time. There could be many reasons for this. You might want to learn something from this... Terp, just sayin' (be advised I've been around this business for at least twice as long as many of the posters here are old) Quote
son of beast214 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 do you think thry will unblock me? Quote
son of beast214 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 I swear my stuff is not all SOB stuff i do help the public on their to and do poke some fun and SOME SOB. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Companies have Facebook pages for their FANS and FRIENDS who support them. Think about that. If you aren't doing that, many places you will be gone. There's a lesson in there somewhere... Quote
CedarPointer Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Why would they want to have someone as a fan who they constantly have to clean up after? Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Busch keeps their Clydesdales, and they have to clean up after them constantly! In fact, they even clean up the same type of stuff! Then again, they bring many, many people to their parks! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 And even that guy that you posted an image of recently lost his job, because of some of his comments and how they sat with other people (primarily the advertisers). Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 He spins that rather differently...he and his employer claim that he is staying on with that company to do special assignments (not unlike Dan Rather was at CBS, and Uncle Walter before him).... Quote
Browntggrr Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 do you think thry will unblock me? What motivation would they possibly have to unblock you? Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 They will not unblock you. I have noticed that whomever is running the FB page for the park has developed a low tolerance for SOB and I don't really blame them. They will delete any comment that does NOT pertain to the topic of their post. Keep making those comments and they will remove you. Edit--Just noticed that the Troll Spray worked. Quote
jrose530 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 LOL!!! How can you make fun or make the point that SOB is in in every thread when your the ONLY one posing about it in this topic ??? Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 ...except, he wasn't. Threads as seen at this point may not reflect all posts that were originally present...in addition, other posts did refer to the certain tendency of a dearly departed poster to invoke that subject in virtually all his posts here and elsewhere. Terpy, trying to help Quote
CoasterGeek101 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I don't understand this thread! Why is the Son of Beast guy banned? Under him it says "Group" and banned, but than you are talking about facebook? Quote
Delirium13 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 This thread was originally about how the recent Kings Island Newsletter said the park was opening for its 40th season April 30th. Not to be confused with their 40th anniversary which is next year. I do not know the exact reasons for why Son of Beast214 is banned but I would assume it has something to do with the fact that just about every post he made was related to Son of Beast being closed, were poorly formed grammatically (TOS violation), etc. The conversation about Facebook is because the same user Son of Beast214, now banned from KIC, was blocked from Kings Island's Facebook page, for presumably similar reasons.

jdawg1998 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 EDIT: Oh my gosh, I am so dumb! I forgot it was from 2009.....nevermind. If you never saw what I posted, good. I just completley made a fool of myself. Haha. DOUBLE EDIT: When did Kings Island open in 2009? Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 ^ I want to say April 18th... Can anyone back me up on this? Quote
jcgoble3 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 ^ I want to say April 18th... Can anyone back me up on this? KI's Facebook page says that Diamondback opened to the public on April 18, 2009, so assuming it opened on the park's opening day, you would be correct. Quote
ParkMake Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 That would be correct. Last year was 4/17 and the year before 4/18 and this year is now 4/30. Quote
