If you could ask Don one question.

Have you guys ever considered repainting the Eiffel Tower? I doubt it would ever happen but I'm curious if its ever came up in a meeting or something.

    No, because I don't have that kind of dough and my backyard isn't big enough to build a ride like that.

    Because I chose not to.

Breaking my own rule here, but...

Any plans of making modified seating for exceptionally sized guests? I'm not one of them but everyone should get to enjoy a roller coaster/thrill ride!

Just bring back 5@5.... Topic now over.

Something like the 5@5 will be incorporated into the transformation of the blog page on our website for the 2013 season. Questions will be submitted via our Twitter page rather than Facebook.

I would ask Don what his favorite color is

SOB tries to keep his questions simple...

Clear.

Red or Blue side?

Red. That was my favorite side when the ride first opened in 1972 and both sides faced forward until the spring of 1982. It was like going home again when I was able to ride that side facing forward again in 2008.

What one attraction would he like to bring back if he could.

Flying Eagles. It was a favorite of mine going back to when it was at Coney Island. I have a lot of memories riding that ride with my parents, brother and sister when I was growing up. It was so much fun!

My question would be: "On average, how many times do you roll your eyes a day while reading the KI Central forum?" :rolleyes:

There are some laughs and smiles, but no rolling of the eyes.

I think I would honestly just ask Don if working in the park has increased or decreased his love of amusement parks, in general KI.

I love it more today than yesterday. But not as much as tomorrow.

How about:

Who came up with the idea of using AC/DC's "Thunder Struck" as the intro song for the Cincinnati Cyclones?

That would be me, but it was merely a suggestion that was made to one of the Cyclones original owners, Ron Fuller, when he and a couple others were putting the game night presentation together prior to the start of the team's first season in 1990-91. My first suggestion was quickly shot down: Brass Banana, which had been the theme song for the WHA New England Whalers.

Do you think that if you ask, McDonalds will make you a TRIPPLE quarter pounder?

I'd have to go to Burger King if I wanted it my way.

I'd ask him if he's ever made anyone an offer they couldn't refuse...

My wife. We recently celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary.

My question to him:

Do you have any old Mighty Ducks gear laying around somewhere? I've been searching the web, but I haven't found anything yet.

I do. What items have you been looking for?

if he could turn the park back to its one of a kind state...when it was amazing and majestic

Nothing is as good as it used to be, and it never was.

I've got a question:

Is the old Nickelodeon sign (the really big one that used to be in Nickelodeon Central) still in storage?

Thanks for taking the time to respond Don! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them!

Will we see a continued improvement in food selections for 2013?

Happy Holidays!

My question to him:

I've been trying to find a jersey. My dad collects jerseys, and I was thinking about giving him one for Christmas.

Don, have you ever considered building a roller coaster like Maverick? Those Intamin style roller coasters are Awesome!

No, because I don't have that kind of dough and my backyard isn't big enough to build a ride like that.

Do you like gravy?

Who doesn't???

The American Summer Live Show Enthusiasts reportedly prefer corn salsa.

What one attraction would he like to bring back if he could.

Flying Eagles. It was a favorite of mine going back to when it was at Coney Island. I have a lot of memories riding that ride with my parents, brother and sister when I was growing up. It was so much fun!

I very much hope you've brought up the return of Flying Eagles to the rest of KI staff. :)

Don, how many times have you ridden The Beast? Or have you even kept track of the number?

Don's ride count on The Beast is mentioned in this video, although I am guessing there might be an update by now!

That video makes me miss Meff. (he did the voice over)

In the beginning of the video, Meff says "the year was 1979 ... Monday Night Football made its debut". Monday Night Football made its debut two years before Kings Island opened its gates in 1970.

Be careful with that last sentence. Perhaps it should say "Monday Night Fiotball made its debut in 1970, two years before Kings Island opened its gates."

And Merry Christmas!

Terp, trying to help!
