LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I think the point was, in 2012, I'm going back to Fear Fest times. Then I'll go back to the Future, only to find out that my arch enemy is now the rich owner of a huge casino and hotel, so I'll have to go back to the past and save the future... 3 Quote
BB1 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Where is BB1? I found the best post for him on there...perhaps this IS him?!?! https://www.facebook...93938367&type=1 I like in silence..... (Still the KIC fanbase has not found my whereabouts on facebook ) Its great to hear other people talking about a topic i like, it brings back good memories. 1 Quote
Snowman Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Facebook is a self serving, ego fueling, privacy invading, waste of brain cells that could be put to better uses like watching grass grow or wood rot. I'm proud to say I've never posted or looked at anything on Facebook. Sounds like the level of discussion on the KI Facebook page lives up to my expectations. That's what I thought too... until I launched a podcast magazine promoting good things in my home town. Believe it or not, Facebook is an incredible business tool and social media is the future of marketing. To be fair, many of your comments could easily be applied to people posting in a forum about amusement parks. Point well taken. What comments could we apply to people who moderate forums about amusement parks? Quote

Snowman Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 ^Has a moderator done something to offend you? Absolutely not. Purely meant as a joke, hence the smiley face. I would think a good description for you guys might be "Cat Herders" Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Perhaps, then, they need to try harder! (meow) Terpy, being catty! (I heard!) Quote
benred23 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 ...or perhaps if they want to offend, maybe they "Shouldn't" try harder... Quote
CedarPointer Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Wow if there was anyone that knew The Racers better than Kings Island's PR Director I'd love to meet them. And I have been there 10 times this season and when attendance is low why run 2 cars with empty seats. Just causes more wear and tear on a 40 year old coaster. The line stretching out to coney mall, but I am sure there were no switchbacks open, so the line took all of 10-15 minutes? In response? Sean u where not there so u need not comment on switch blades are u retarded or something. Why would u even mention weapons. That is my question 1 Quote
kingsrattler Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 This is now my favorite OF ALL TIME: Is KI on the same time as Indianapolis? We're coming on Friday & want to get there when it opens:) Two or three years ago, during the summer, it was not. Quote
Browntggrr Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 ^ Yes it changed 4 years ago. I have difficulty believing someone is competent enough to use a computer (thus FB), but has no clue what timezone a major city is in just 2 hours away. Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 The comment on KI's blog about Beast Tours is mind blowing. 2 Quote
Oldiesmann Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 A response from someone on someone else's question as to whether or not KI was going to add a new ride for 2013: They should add bigger roller coasters and take down drop zone it breaks to much Quote
TheCrypt Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Oh yeah, because a huge mondo thrill machine will fit in the space of Drop Tower. Definately. Quote
BB1 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 While commenting on the SOB dismantlement I saw this "Last chance to ride it tommorrow to ride it! I will be there!". Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 ahahah I wonder how sad he'll be when he won't be able to? Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 The comment on KI's blog about Beast Tours is mind blowing. LOL. Part of me really wants to believe they did that on purpose. A little poke at the FB users that do not read before replying. Quote
TheCrypt Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 "Shortcuts on quality does not pay off in the longrun. Since it was a popular ride why not redesign and rebuild it with safety the main priority this time." Yup. 'Cause Sonny was a popular ride. EDIT: Also about Sonny: "I remember going to Kings Island about a million times the summer it was being built, watching in awe as the track came together, and then waiting 6.5 hours for the front seat when it opened. Only coaster I've ever been on that I liked better in the back because it was actually smoother back there lol. RIP Son of Beast." Bolded for emphasis. Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 "Kings Island just lost me as a customer. After 2012, I will not buy a pass and I will not step another foot into Kings Islands grounds." From save Son of Beast page. 1 Quote
TheCrypt Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) From the Save Son of Beast Facebook page: "The Beach Waterpark across from Kings Island will Re-open for the 2013 season with a new owner!" The reply? "No it wont... they tore everything down." EDIT: From Kings Island's Twitter after the SoB announcement: "Will You Ever Open The Son Of The Beast Again?"

jdawg1998 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Ha shows how much Kings Island does for themselves! I thought the park was supposed to be for patrons of the park And we want SON OF The Beast! Well I can say, they have lost me and plenty of other visitors! I will never step foot in Kings Island again! I hope they go bankrupt in the midst of taking down our ride! That's Kings Island for the screw you will guess what screw you right BACK!!!! Quote
KIfan1980 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I had to go to Save Son of Beast and KI facebook pages today for a good laugh. It's amazing to me how some people will react to a situation out of their control. I'd also like to do a poll of those most upset that SoB is being removed - from my vantage point it seems as though many who are losing their mind upset that such a great ride is being removed either: - Never got to ride it as I was too small - Only got to ride it once or twice (normally after loop removal) I know there are others (Dropzone, Nightmare, Colonel, Agent) come to mind who rode it more often and aren't happy (although I havent seen any of them flipping out), but the majority seem to be those who have an image or a single memory of the ride. 5 Quote

Dont you just love their language? Onto KI facebook, SOB status "Dislike" times 2 "So sad". Now where is my "Bring back Boomerang Bay to Kings Island!" page? (Joke intended (For our very own commentator Long!)) Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 That's not a pun, it's a joke.... 2 Quote
KIfan1980 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 New favorite goes to the poster complaining about taking down SoB since it still holds records - suggesting instead that if anything should be removed it should be The Beast since it is so old - hmmmmm Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 SOME people. Others are brilliant beyond belief. Oh I understand that, Mr. Terpy. Just not very many of them on KI's Facebook page. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 That's not a pun, it's a joke.... Bringing back a boomerang isn't a pun, too? I learn the darnest things here. 1 Quote
