BB1 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Well, the title says it all. This is the place to post any allusions that you see at Kings Island, (if you do not know what an allusion is, a allusion is something in a place, or a piece that references to something else) please note to keep things to the present time, you may use last year in the off season. Almost like a easter egg hunt A allusion that I personally saw last year was basically allusions to Phantom Theater's take down from the MF's where the characters were wrapped up, and allusions more to the Beach Boys songs in SC, from the names on a few places in the waterpark.

bkroz Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Why don't you start us off with an example so we know what you're talking about?AKA, the title doesn't say it all for everyone. EDIT: I see you've gone ahead and added "allusions" to your original post. Noted.EDIT 2: As well as some triple-emphasized text! Helpful.EDIT 3: And now a definition.

TheCrypt Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I wouldn't say the Phantom Theater props were an allusion to anything. The props were repurposed. That's it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The organist near the end of Boo Blasters is an allusion to the Phantom Theater "Maestro". The queue room is noticeably empty nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 And, when you see it, it's an optical allusion. Terp, good at bringing out many peoples' boo blasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"...something in a place, or a piece that references to something else." Yes, I thought that using the terms "Allusions" and "Easter Eggs" that one would think of things that are placed into KI that reference to other things, being a common word in my mind, I inferred that others would know of the terms at hand.

malem Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 the names on a few places in the waterpark.Like "Breakers Bay"? (An allusion to the Hotel Breakers at CP) Or, slightly off-topic, "Hurricane Hannah's" waterpark at Geauga Lake in 2004, renamed from (Six Flags') Hurricane Harbor. (An allusion to the snack bar near CP's front gate) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I believe it is called Beast Canyon Drinks or something back in River town. Alluding to the prowling creature not to far ahead up the midway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I wouldn't say the Phantom Theater props were an allusion to anything. The props were resurfaced. That's it. Yes and no. When they put the props out for Haunt, that's just recycling old props... when they have them covered but you can, if you know the park, tell what they are (like last year) I could see the argument for that being an Easter egg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I wouldn't say the Phantom Theater props were an allusion to anything. The props were resurfaced. That's it. Are there Phantom Theater props being used in the park? If so, where? I'd like to look for them this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 ^They've brought them out for Haunt the past several years. A few years ago the figures were on the bandstand at the end of the fountain, last year they were over in Rivertown. The furnace from Phantom Theater is used in Slaughter House. "How about some HEAT?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
