The Interpreter Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 1. The people. People make Kings Island. It has good ones. 2. The Midwest. It's a great place to be. Jeff Seibert said it was the Midwest, anyway. 3. Its customers. Good folk. Well behaved. 4. Its access. Easy to get to. Compare Geauga Lake. Or Lake Winnie. 5. Its sitdown restaurant, now that it has one. 6. The ride mix. It's missing a little something, but that'll be fixed soon. 7. The water park included with admission. Many places, it isn't. 8. The many, many memories I have of Kings Island, many with people I can never go with to the park again. 9. The grand entrance highlighted by the Royal Fountain and the Eiffel Tower. 10. The many, many friends I have made there over the years, and will in years to come. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'm not sure how I'd pick 10, but The Racer that brought back rollercoasters after the great depression would definitely be somewhere on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Which Six Flags? Terp, who likes to ask questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Elitch Gardens in 2006 or 2007. It was... not a nice park. I've heard it's much better now, but nothing like the old Elitch Gardens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 And no longer a Six Flags. Today's Six Flags management is not the Six Flags of old. And the old Elitch's was splendid. Moving downtown was almost certainly a huge mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, if I'm near one I should give them a chance sometime... although it seems there's no Six Flags kingdom very close anymore... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 1. That it's fairly close to get to for me 2. The rides 3. The scenery/layout/general beauty of the park 4. The memories I'll always treasure, and the ones I've yet to make 5. The food 6. Clean and generally safe 7. The employees, especially the ride operators who make the station waits fun and entertaining 8. The park's ability to make me forget any troubles while I'm there having a good time 9. The nighttime atmosphere, especially in Coney Mall 10. The general ambiance and energy of the park 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
