MrSaturdayNite Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 The one that always bugs me is when "definitely" is misspelled as "defiantly." My favorite example: "I defiantly agree with you." How do you agree with someone while defying them at the same time? 8
calakapepe Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 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) And then there are exceptions depending on culture and how they pronounce English words. (ex. "an historical place" vs. "a historical place") Some wouldn't pronounce the "H" and would go straight to the vowel sound. 1
ohiocolts Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I hope Action Zone isn't being re-themed to Grammar Zone. 19
fanofFirehawk Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 So is it colour or color? a curious fan... 5

Well, I recommend that you do not venture to a French region of the world, for their "h" is almost never pronounced, if they do, it would barely be heard. Avoir Honte (avoir onte) Also, mind you that BB1 uses both the British, and American style diction/word structures. 2
medford Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 So is it colour or color? a curious fan... Depends if one is at KI Central or if one is at CW Central (or the equal there to) 4
TombRaiderFTW Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I hope Action Zone isn't being re-themed to Grammar Zone. The whole thing's a clue. Combined with the O'Terpy tombstone, it's obvious AZ going to be themed to The Interpeter. It will look exactly like Great Adventure. (There, I helped.) 11
thedevariouseffect Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I thought if something was themed after him it would end up a diversion 5
The Interpreter Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Just to be oxymoronic: no Action Zone retheme. No cited source. Reliable. And this time, one who knew talked. With appropriate delegation. In conformance with the TOS, there is no cited source. And that's the way it is, this the 21st day of February, 2014. Now, about that target circle...(signal lost...OUT) 6
homestar92 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 What do you mean there's no re-theme? We can already see traces of a retheme! There was no action in said zone many previous years, and now there is! I kid, I kid! 6
Oldschool75 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 **Self edit** Just seemed like every body was being a bit knit picky, and trying to out correct everyone else.
The Interpreter Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 ... not re-theming to something entirely different... (Post edited since it had before responded to the one above it, and, as of 0115 on 02/22/2014, no longer made sense. No diversions, no knitting, no picking. Not this time. Not that those aren't worthy undertakings.) 3
thegajone Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Action Zone may in fact be re-themed a bit, but I would imagine that if KI is sending out official tweets referencing Action Zone this close to opening day, it probably will not be re-named for the 2014 season. But, it's entirely possible that I could be surprised.
The Interpreter Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 You can cite Terp as your source should you choose. The area will be known as Action Zone in 2014, unless, which is highly unlikely, plans for this year change after 02/21/2014. 6
Adventuro Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Well I think they would call it what people are familiar with, especially if they want to keep it a secret until last minute. Which is what I think they're going to do. I feel like a month before the park opens, or less, we will see a picture of a new logo and announcement that the area is being re-themed. Just my opinion, could be wrong- but I have a good feeling 1
thegajone Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I'm with Interpreter. I don't see a name change happening for the 2014 season. 2
westcoaster Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Does anyone see a Flat Ride being moved to Action Zone? Or even a new Flat being placed in Action Zone.
BB1 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Does anyone see a Flat Ride being moved to Action Zone? Or even a new Flat being placed in Action Zone. My first guess would be an Flying Scooters, but I don't think we will see that in the immediate future.
stashua123 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I could see them tearing down Slingshot to build a new thrill ride along Banshee
BB1 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Action Zone. 2014. Terp, you ruined all the fun of seeing the predictions of the KIC enthusiast base! BB1, who found it to be....interesting 3

BB1 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I did some (loose) measurements using the Bing Maps program, on the circle that has been recently taken out. With this I calculated that the circle is approximately 80 feet long. 80 feet is the "Fence To Fence" measurement for the Larson Flying Scooters as well. Coincidence? 3
TheCrypt Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Yes, it is a coincidence. There's no way that putting a Flying Scooters in the center of Action Zone is feasible. The amount of congestion it would cause is huge, plus there would be no room for a queue line. 4
DBInternational Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Another Drop Zone? Flight Commander returns? There are so many rides with a circular base. The possibilities are endless here people. 2
sikkinixx99 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I would really love to see another ride there!! But it really isn't a good spot unless they re-route the traffic somehow.
sikkinixx99 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 What is that??Taken from Kings Island Cam https://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams 5
WailsLikeABanshee Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 ^Umm. That is a very good question. It looks like some poor misguided train tracks, that god mangled in spots. Edit: Could that be cracks in the concrete? Edit 2: Nevermind, it looks to be only part of a small section of concrete. The rest is in the grassy/dirt/I'm not sure what type of ground.
