Election Day 2012

[jcgoble3]

So which ride would YOU elect as President of Kings Island? The Beast and Diamondback are obviously the major party candidates, but there's a host of third-party options and even a place for write-in votes.

Cast your ballot!

[Kyle100991]

As much as I love the Monster and Scarmbler I gotta go with the wood party. The Beast and Racer are my two favorite roller coaster at Kings Island. Gotta love the classics.

[Thrill_Biscuit]

The Wood party suffered a dip in the polls when Son of Beast crossed over into the Rubble party. I'd say moderates who sit on the Wood/Steel fence (Adventure Express) can bring unity to the coaster race this time around.

[Bennett]

The Racer kicks puppies, does not keep itself presentable, only half shows up to work most days, and The Beast is going to raise taxes, and shoot Grandma.

I'm Diamondback, and I approve this message.

[Diamondbacker]

They might be old-fashioned, but they've worked for a looong time!

Wood Party 2012.

[Thrill_Biscuit]

The Vortex campaign has accused Diamondback of "eating Rivertown," and using it's vaunted splashdown for political expedience. His closest ally, Senator Shake Rattle 'n Roll, was too busy raising three issues at a time, only to spin them and bring them back down to earth, which helps the Steels somewhat, but leaves the Woods seeking support from other areas of the park.

[Browntggrr]

Political spins make me sick.....

Thus- I will not vote for the Teacup party.

[Thrill_Biscuit]

Both parties are campaigning at Viking Fury and Delirium, each trying to get swing votes.

Hello im Flight of Fear running in the Launched Party! I choose BLSC as my V.P just 3 months ago! Im currently caimpainging in the Action Zone area. An area hard hit by corruption and the resignation of Son of Beast. I promise i will lower taxes and bring parties together! Im also working with Senator White Water Canyon and Congresswoman Congo Falls to help. White water canyon is investigating reports of Diamondbacks Tax fraud! Congo Falls is investigating Drop Towers Steriod abuse. We must not elect these people. Me and BLSC will work together and lower taxes on Kings Island and stop being dependant on Cedar Point! Im Flight of Fear and I approve This Message!

[Thrill_Biscuit]

You know, come to think of it, Drop Tower does look kind of bigger than most other Drop Towers.... Flight of Fear might be on to something here...

[jcgoble3]

LOL! These comments are hilarious!

I totally forgot the Launched Party. Oh well...

[Thrill_Biscuit]

Thanks, jcgoble3! This is a great, fun way to get through another off-season day!

[Mr. Christopher]

Flying Eagles for the Defunct Party.

[TylerRider]

Monster, Scrambler (Family Party). I expect them to "Dodge" all the hard questions, it will "Bump" them up in the polls.

[ahank]

Wood/Steel party for life.

[TTD-120-420]

Adventure Express.

[Thrill_Biscuit]

Adventure Express is kind of an Independent: leans a little Wood, leans a little Steel. AE is also admired for having a unique perspective on coasterdom; what with its lift hills in the middle and at the end of its track, always providing an uplifting future to its riders.

[TombRaiderFTW]

I'm swinging towards the Suspended party. They've had a rough history, but I feel they're a third party that will lift us up longer than they'll let us down. They won't fatigue us by bending the words of the other parties like back in the 80's, and I think Flight Deck has got a chance to crack through the opponents' leads by just a hairline.

The Arrow's pointing to the Suspended party, folks. They won't leave your feet dangling!

Plus, I heard the Wood party's got a candidate with an illegitimate child whose poor reputation they're trying desperately to hide from the public eye. What's up with that, anyway?

[Bennett]

This just in...

A message from the National Institute of Steel Coasters.

"F@#* Woodies".

[TheCrypt]

Even though they are not popular, The Crypt should be a worthy nominee alongside runningmate Firehawk.

[TombRaiderFTW]

Bah! The Crypt! How many promises did I believe from him, only to find that he'll let just anyone change his position on the topics. He used to believe in rapid climate change, then he pretended it never happened at all. I hear he's taken to scaring children these days and letting his acquaintance in Virginia take control of all the song and dance and flashy lights. I can't trust someone that unreliable.

[Thrill_Biscuit]

"Fat pound star Woodies?" exclaimed a flabberghasted Beast...

[Campaign advisor Woodstock Express whispers in candidates ear, then silence, then a loud gasp ensues...]

[stashua123]

Flight of Fear has just gained a new ally...Firehawk! Firehawk backed me because hes tired of The Racer being "stuck up".

[TTD-120-420]

I thought The Crypt was assassinated?

[TheCrypt]

The Crypt was merely impeached.

[The Interpreter]

The next step after impeachment is removal.

I seem to remember The Crypt was removed.

[LongliveKingsCobra]

The Crypt was merely impeached.

HEY if you can ask me about the electoral college you should at least understand the impeachment processes. Meh.

[TheCrypt]

I know all about the impeachment process! Well...not ALL, but I get the gist of it.

[LongliveKingsCobra]

Eh Never mind. I believe you...

[TheCrypt]

Is that the same dismissive "nevermind" as before, when it was easier to agree than conflict?
