16gwoods Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 This poll is just to try and pass time until next summer so have fun! 1 Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Coasters mostly, but have to say all the above as well! Quote
jdawg1998 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 For me it's the park atmosphere. I have not been on a coaster at Kings Island since early August out of 6 visits since then. I can wait for coasters. But not a great day spending time at my second home! Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Can't really choose one thing. I miss the park's atmosphere, but I also very much miss having the ability to spontaneously take one of my passholder friends with me to ride coasters for the heck of it. Spontaneous KI trips pretty much make my summers. Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I miss the people, the park, and the very familiar Kings Island that has been a part of my life for 40 seasons now. Quote
Outdoor Man Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 not listed.... but if KI were open that would mean it would be, on average, 30 degrees warmer. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 ...not necessarily. It seldom was, for example, during Winterfest. Quote
KIfan1980 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I miss my friends that I typically see at the park. Whether hanging out or riding rides, there is a group of people I know through KI and KIC. I haven't seen most in months as I was unable to visit the park in late Sept/Oct and have not been able to meet up outside the park. Looking forward to telling everyone "Happy New Year" in April! 1 Quote
HHauntFanatic Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Halloween Haunt. I just love the atmosphere of the park during Haunt. The fog, the scenes and props, the crisp, cold air hitting my face while riding The Beast at night, the leaves changing colors. There may be better haunted attractions out there, but you won't find a better overall haunted attraction experience around than at Haunt. The atmosphere is second to none. Quote
standbyme Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 It's nice that so many people have chosen the park's atmosphere. (That was my choice, obviously.) Quote
Captain Picard Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Something there is nothing said about WindSeeker. Mr. Kinzel did say it would be a sleeper. Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 At the end of next season, Mr. Kinzel can himself be one of the choices! Terp, who remembers when we met. . . Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I miss hanging out there with friends and family, and it's only been a little over two weeks since the last time. We'll get together every once in a while over the off-season and we'll still have fun, but it's not the same as going to KI (or other parks) with them. Quote
KIfan1980 Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Mr. Kinzel Terp, who remembers when we met. . . You reference this a lot - any chance you are ever going to share more details? Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Mr. Kinzel Terp, who remembers when we met. . . You reference this a lot - any chance you are ever going to share more details? A year or specific date would be a good start! Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 A. 'twas many years ago. B. One must remember Terp enjoys being punny. The new CEO to be soon? Terp doesn't remember if we met, but if we did it would have been at IAAPA, which is, coincidentally, this week this year. Old Terp was going this year, but changed plains in Atlanta.... Quote
ohiocolts Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 I miss Diamondback, The Beast, FOF, Firehawk, Vortex, Racer, atmosphere, Drop Tower, Crypt, hanging with friends, WindSeeker, basically everything Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Atmosphere. The reason I go to King's Island is just the look of it and the enjoyment of walking around with the girlfriend. If I want coasters then I drive on up to Cedar Point. Thats the best part of living exactly in the middle of both. Quote
jlopez Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 The park atmosphere. I could go to the park and walk around all day and not ride anything. Just the sounds or the park, the food, watching rides, and walking around the shops is good enough for me. (don't get me wrong I wouldn't go to the park all summer and not ride anything. lol) My husband makes fun of me because I love Kings Island so much, and talk about it so much. But everyone has something they love. Just as someone might love cooking, sports, scuba diving, rock climbing. whatever it may be. Well I love KI and Just the atmosphere of being there at my favorite place, makes me happy. Its my second home. 1 Quote
Beastie1980 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 I miss everything about the park, especially the Blue ice cream, it's the BEST ice cream ever!! I just started riding coasters this season and now I can't believe I waited so long to start enjoying them. Can't wait to be back on The Beast! Quote

Like you said, some people have sports, TV, or fishing. We have KI! Can't wait to be back on The Beast! Here here! Quote
Dalefan Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 I miss working at the park. I worked at the park for Halloween Haunt and loved it. Was my first time working at the park. I may work a whole season next year. The people i worked with were freaking sweet too. Lol. Quote
mccarthysnerd Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I would have to say that it is a close call between park atmosphere and coasters but I would have to say that I miss The Beast most of all because it is my favorite thing about Kings Island besides everything else. I love it's woodie roughness and layout while twisting through the depths of the forest. I do also miss just being at the park all together. The employees are always so respectful and caring for park guests, which has always made me feel very welcomed to the park. I also kind of miss FOF and Diamondback along with the rest of the coaster's. Quote
Jasper Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I miss the overall park atmosphere and just being able to walk around in the park and go take a ride on Diamondback, go marathon Drop Tower, get soaked on White Water Canyon, or even just enjoy a mid summer night's walk through the park looking at the majesty at night. Quote
Tanna Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Sometimes, on a particularly nice day, I want to go to the park, and drat if it isn't closed. Makes me wish for the super future city glass bubbles over cities like you see in fifties sci fi movies. Quote
XxCannocxX Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 walking on The Beast on a Sunday in september Quote
Titan Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Atmosphere, a lot of times I'll just go and take pictures or site see. Quote
