muppetfan1999 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I went today for a short visit in the afternoon after a 2 week absence from Kings Island. I had recently gotten stitches in my knee, so my list of rides I could ride safely was very limited, being limited to mainly Diamondback, Delirium, Drop Tower, and WindSeeker. When I first got to the park I noticed that the 'Throw the Ducky in the Fountain' thingy (the name escapes me right now) was back, except this time instead of Rubber Duckies, it was Rubber Snoopy's, which is pretty cool. I ended up buying one later in the day. Afterwards, I went to go see Ed Alonzo's Psycho Circus of Magic and Mayhem, which I love so much. Especially funny today, when the little kid "accidentally" knocks over the microphone stand, Mr. Alonzo said "Oh no... You killed Magic Mic." (B-Dum Tss) After the show, I rode Diamondback, which I both love and am also terrified on, because the restraint just barely can't fully pin me in (if that makes any sense), so when I go down the hill I rise up off the seat to the point where I'm practically standing up. Must admit, can't say it's my favorite feeling, though it's still a fun ride. Next, I went to ride WindSeeker, which was, well, WindSeeker. It's a fun ride, it's just I can't say much about it. By that point, I had realized that Delirium was closed, which I was really disappointed about, since that's one of my favorite rides. I was going to ride Drop Tower, but I was pretty hungry, so I decided to go to the Festhaus to get some Larosas and watch British Invasion. I'm always surprised at how filling a slice of pizza and two cheesy breadsticks can be. British Invasion has a lot of great songs, including the entire section just for The Beatles, but they do sound pretty weird, since they aren't being sung by British singers. It might sound like nitpicking, but I find it to downgrade the performance just a tad. Also, there's a song revue centered around bands and singers from The UK, and they don't sing Bohemian Rhapsody? I for one, I'm appalled! I know that it's an adult song, but The Muppets did it, and it worked out great! Finally, I went to the candy store and got some frozen lemonade, which tasted a lot better then I thought it would, and it was a lot of frozen lemonade for the price. I also rode Diamondback again. All in all, a fun afternoon at the park, even if I couldn't ride most of the rides there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Sounds great. I went to Ed Alfonzo's Psycho Circus of Magic and Mayhem a while back, and I really liked it. With all the big rides my brother rides (hes only 7, and he rides whatever he can get on. The biggest one he can get on is The Beast) Ed Alfonzo's is his favorite thing in the park. Its nice to do somthing everyone can do, that doesnt go 65 mph. Its the "calm-est" thing in the park we do, since we never go to Planet Snoopy. (exept Boo Blasters, and wet rides) Hope your knee heals up soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
