I totally agree that it's either a green space or a section that is to incorporate some special scenery for this "new" possible area because they obviously dug up the concrete instead of just repainting it. Which leads me to ask how would they incorporate the buildings in AZ? I'm thinking they may possibly repaint them.

New this year in Action Zone is the Chicken Shack. Fresh hand-breaded chicken tenders, wings, wraps and salads are on the menu. -Kings Island's Twitter page. Link: https://twitter.com/kingsislandPR

With this new Chicken Shack, I hope they take down the metel paneling and put some new wood on there to make it look like a "Chicken Shack"

cement truck on the target.

looks like they're pouring footers?

Maybe, it sort of looks like footers

Any idea of what they would be for though?

A new sign, perhaps? I honestly have no clue.

I don't want to jinx it but of all the arguments we did have this offseason not one of them have been about footers vs. footings.

Nor concrete vs. cement...

I didn't think people actually argue over stuff like that.

For the most part that argument been gone since the beginning of Diamondback. But the concrete vs. cement one really confuses me because they are two different things.

They are. And when the wrong term was used, the concrete differences between the two were used to cement understanding.

This might help with the confusion:

I feel like we are going to get into a their, there, and they're debate (again) the way this is going.

What about your, and you're? Or to, too, and two?

Those really aren't debates, though. There's no subjectivity involved. Either you used the right your/you're or their/there/they're or to/too/two/tutu, or you didn't.

Footers/footings, on the other hand, don't seem to have agreed-upon definitions differentiating the terms (that I'm aware of.) THAT would be an actual debate.

On that note: has anyone actually ever witnessed a footers/footings argument? I've been around here for almost 5.5 years, and I've never actually seen a debate about that. It's this thing that everyone says is going to happen every off-season, but it never does. Maybe it's just part of the off-season ritual to mention it? I feel like I've seen more debates about Surf Dog's classification (or lack thereof) as a roller coaster than anything else each off-season.

I remember some for Diamondback's construction. I wasn't here before that time.

Hopefully they put in nice pavers and we won't have to argue if it is cement or concrete.

Quikrete for the win.

Speaking of pavers...

Exciting times for Kings Island in 14' to say the least.

Your is for what is of a person, or owned by a person, Your dog is brown.

You're is a conjunction of you are, You're WailsLikeABanshee, right?

To is the conjoining term for a route of passage, or have function with an object, You are going to your mom's, right?

Too is to reference at a multiple action, or to express a quantity of some sort, You are going too, right? I am too scared to ride Beast.

Two is the number of 1+1, which is commonly known as the numeral II. There are two places that have B&M coasters in Ohio, Kings Island and Cedar Point.

The same is conjugated in other languages except differently and or with an elongated expression.

Footer is a device, which, holds the coaster, or beam, in the ground.

Footers are multiple footer in a certain area, more commonly known for coaster footers.

I like the chicken idea, but something tells me Action Zone will be sticking around for a little while.

You were on sound footing with the first part of that post...

Also loose vs. lose. And where to use an rather than a.

I didn't think people actually argue over stuff like that.

The one thing I've learned during my 5 years on KIC is that their are arguments about every single thing you can imagine.

I shouldn't say arguments, they are more like debates, lets say that!

Speaking of which...

And where to use an rather than a.

This bothers me so much when people don't understand how to use a versus an. A is used before consonant sounds and an is used before vowel sounds.

Examples!

Wrong: An chicken climbed out of a egg.

Correct: A chicken climbed out of an egg.

This bothers me so much when people don't understand how to use a versus an. A is used before consonants and an is used before vowels.

Not always. For example, one would be more correct in saying "an honorable sacrifice" as compared to "a honorable sacrifice," although h is a consonant.

The English language is a mysterious thing indeed.

I guess should rephrase: a general rule for the a/an situation would be the one I mentioned above. There are always exceptions.

And where to use an rather than a.

This bothers me so much when people don't understand how to use a versus an. A is used before consonants and an is used before vowels.

Correction: "A" is used before consonant sounds, and "an" is used before vowel sounds.

Example: A user on KIC will clap his hands in an hour. ("User" begins with a "Y" sound, while "hour" begins with an "O" sound.)

(EDIT: beaten to it)

Oh goodness, look at me. I'm learning! Thanks Jonathan and LordSkippy!

My brother and debate whether it's "an opossum", (O-possum) or "a opossum" (oPossum.) The silent o causes such conversations.
