xXDrummerKiDXx Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 As many of you know, KIextreme.com is a similar website to KIC. My question is why did it just die off? I mean, no one uses the Forums, the info is outdated. So whatever happened? Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 In 2009 two of the key members left the site, and along with a stubborn admin (who didn't update), it was basically abandon. I could go on and on 11 Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 I never visited that site, but it is kinda sad to see a site just shut down. Coasterfanatics was my first fan site and now its just full of spam. Sad stuff. Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted September 26, 2012 Author Posted September 26, 2012 Hmph! Well I'm glad KIC is still up! One of the reasons why I got a smart phone was to stay updated with KIC via Mobile internet. I feel old typing that 4 Quote
jdawg1998 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 This site needs updating as well....but not nearly as bad as KIE... Quote
SonofBaconator Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 This site needs updating as well....but not nearly as bad as KIE... What needs to be updated? Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) ^ I believe it still says new for 2007, Firehawk! At least it said that a little bit ago. Their is a bunch of small things that are not very important as well. Overall I think this is a great site. Im also a member of KIE but dont really care for it that much.... They still have Son of Beast listed too! Wonder how long that will satay on here? Edited September 26, 2012 by KI FANATIC 37 1 Quote

KI FANATIC 37 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 The way I see it is that this site is for the discussions. IF you want to find out whats at KI you should just go to their website. Also, if you are on this website you are probably very familiar with all the attractions/info on Kings Island anyway. 2 Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Yeah I can honestly say I have never been on anything other than the forums. Quote
Bennett Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Never been anywhere here other than the forums since I signed up, so, cannot speak to how well it is updated. Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted September 26, 2012 Author Posted September 26, 2012 I used to look at the website but soon realize that there was nothing new. Eh, it's still a great site! Quote
Original Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 I took one good look at the website, and I didnt like it. What would we all do with out our beloved Terpy!? Quote
SonofBaconator Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Should an admin be involved in this topic? Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 I took one good look at the website, and I didnt like it. What would we all do with out our beloved Terpy!? Actually I believe that he is on KIE. But I may be wrong... Quote

Coney Islander Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Kings Island Central has two great photo galleries This gallery has relatively recent Kings Island photographs, including aerial views and construction photographs. This much smaller gallery has historical photographs. Every one of the fourteen albums are well worth examining. Some photographs are of rides or attractions I have not seen depicted elsewhere. There are a number of historical Kings Island brochures here. Yeah I can honestly say I have never been on anything other than the forums. You've been missing out! 1 Quote
TheCrypt Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Quote from KIC's ride page: The Crypt- Descend into the ancient tomb of the illuminate as you join Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: The Ride. Once you are loaded in your “escape vehicle” you will become enmeshed in an epic test of fire and ice! 2 Quote

Titan Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 I joined KIE back in 2010 and posted about 2 times. You would be lucky if there was even one other member online at a time. One thing I always loved about KIC is how it still attracts a large crowd and let's hope that never changes, 2 Quote
jdawg1998 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 It's really too bad KIC is just a Kings Island site - if we were all things amusement parks we'd be at the top along with TPR (not that I like them) Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Bigger is not always better. Terp, cross threading. (Donkeys, anyone?) 9 Quote
beastrider97 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I never visited that site, but it is kinda sad to see a site just shut down. Coasterfanatics was my first fan site and now its just full of spam. Sad stuff. I noticed my coasterfanatics signature item was not loading, appears that site is officially dead. It's really too bad KIC is just a Kings Island site - if we were all things amusement parks we'd be at the top along with TPR (not that I like them) To be fair, we do talk about other parks. Plus, if the members acted anything like those in TPR, I'd be extremely turned off from the site. TPR has great trip reports and POVs, but everything else has flaws extending from its users to its admins. Quote
jdawg1998 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I was just pointing out that we have a big enough forum to be a big name amusement park fan site. Not suggesting that we should. 1 Quote
beastrider97 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Also I'd say we have one of the best forum systems. Every forum I've been on doesn't even compete with the system implemented here. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Oddly enough, KIE used the same system. 1 Quote
