fanofFirehawk Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Have you or your family or freinds or anybody you have went to Kings Island with done anything funny or out of the ordinary? When I with my freinds during the haunt and you know all the people they have walking around, well scotty was going up to all of them saying " HIGH FIVE !! " Some times they obliged sometimes he was denide but there was a guy in Action Zone (not employeed by Cedar Fair Entertainment Co) and scott asked " WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSEDTO BE " the guy just stared at him it was kind of funny but also kind of scary.

malem Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 When I was at Cedar Point, someone kept changing the Disaster Transport sign to read a wait time of 2 hours, and I reset it to something reasonable every time I walked by. Unlike almost every other queue in the park, this one had an unstaffed entrance, so anyone could walk by and adjust it. The line was barely reaching the stairs, probably because so many people were turned off by that sign! This was after the "leak" that DT was being demolished, but before the official announcement, so I didn't want some selfish person's mini-marathon denying others their last rides. DT's final queue configuration had a wait time of about 30 minutes from the building entrance with good operation, so anything much longer than that without a line extending outside was nonsensical. I sit on the handrails sometimes. Have you been scolded by a ride op? ("You, in the <color> shirt!") 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coaster_junky Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Not specifically at Kings Island, but because of Kings Island... Ever since the Paramount Rides were given their new names (i.e.- Drop Tower, Backlot, Flight Deck) I have an extremely difficult time calling The Italian Job (movie) by its real name. 9 times out of 10 I end up saying, 'I really want to watch Backlot, I love that movie.' 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondbacker Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 My friend counts all of the different violations he sees as he and I walk around the park. For example, someone sitting on the handrails or not wearing proper clothing. I think he said that for 5 visits this year he counted over 300.

homestar92 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I wave at perfect strangers to join me on park benches. I like to dress in an all-white hoodie and sit between groups of people on benches. I think I blend in pretty well.

homestar92 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I find myself listening to "Right Now" by Van Halen while watching POVs of Drop Tower in the offseason... I don't even care for Drop Tower... But I LOVE that song. Also, every Gyro Drop I build in Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 gets synced to that song. And every Suspended Swinger gets synced to "Arrival to Earth" From the Transformers score. True story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXDrummerKiDXx Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The second to last weekend of the season, me and my bud would play Gangnam Style on little portable speakers and dance in lines.

VortexBFForever Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thanks to coasterfanatic2012's girlfriend, I count every person wearing a fanny pack during every visit. I always wear a fanny pack! So if you ever visit KI when I'm there too, I guess I may get counted. If I ever get "sighted." My contribution to the topic: During my 9/30/07 visit, I didn't notice that the Fairly Odd Coaster's air gates moved by themselves until I was next in line. After the people in front of me got on, the gate started to close and I, as a surprised 8 year old, was standing in the way a teeny little bit. I actually pushed against the gate (thinking I could move it ) but I ended up being pushed back into the queue by the gate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emileeee Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 My friend and I made several visits to KI this summer and have developed a little game over these visits. We find a good group of guys our age (17/18) and hold their hands without warning. Most of the time they go with it and let us walk a ways holding their hands, but sometimes they flinch away (crazy, right?). I have also sat on a couple laps. I'd say "excuse me" and act like I was going to sit next to them, but then I'd just sit in their lap. The reactions are priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 You need to be more restrained in public. Not only could you provoke a less than friendly or gentle reaction in some, it is possible, be it unlikely at Kings Island, there could be other unpleasant repercussions from such actions. I can only imagine what may very well happen if you did this at Magic Mountain, Great Adventure or Six Flags Over Georgia. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiejane Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 During Halloween Haunt, when Time Warp from RHPS would come on, I'd do the dance that goes along with it. I really enjoy tormenting the boyfriend in public 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I ate a blue ice cream before riding The Beast. When we went down the first hill into the tunnel, I raised my hands and all the ice cream left over on my hands went into mostly everyone's faces behind me. Best front row ride ever!

The Interpreter Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Please tell me you didn't ride the mine train ride at Six Flags Over Georgia some years ago while drinking a glass of lemonade. Terp, who was not amused. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 From the ride pics, it looked like the smurfs returned to KI.... How much can possibly get on your hands while eating an ice cream cone? And you had the guts to stand there and look at ride photos after splattering those behind you? I'm sure those next in line weren't very happy with you either, after you presumably left them with a very sticky seat belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalefan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 During Haunt days, i would go into the park as a guest and scare the people in one of the coaster lines by telling them that the Haunt monsters are known for taking people from the ride lines and eatting the brains of the guests they take. Some fell for it. It was funny saying that to a bunch of teen girls and then seeing the same girls go though my Haunt that same night. They didn't know who i was because of my makeup. But when i said i'm going to eat your brains, they ran like mad. Lol. That's bad i know. Lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I simply can't drive by the park without looking at the Eiffel Tower. I tried once, and was completely surprised to see the Tennis Stadium! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
