Adventuro Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Yes. Shorten the off season please! Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk Looks like your wish came true, by 8 days. 5 Quote
Ride On_17 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 When you consider driving from 2 hours away just to see the park standing there, inactive, in all it's beauty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk When you would drive from 4 hours away just to do exactly the same thing. I'd be more likely to do this with CP instead since it's only an hour and a half, but still... Coaster enthusiasts are crazy. In a good way. And welcome to KIC! 9 Quote
WailsLikeABanshee Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 When you've already planned 7 clothing options for opening day, two of which include a shirt you don't own. Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk 10 Quote
VortexBFForever Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 When you have an index card (taped to the wall) showing how many days of the offseason are left. Today, there are 88 more days until Opening Day (and 87 until Media Day!). 8 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 You search for this thread to read it to occupy time 13 Quote
homestar92 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I suddenly have the urge to put 86 tallies on my white board and erase one every day. 9 Quote
MDMC01 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I started a countdown on my calendar a few days ago! As of right now, only 87 more days until Firehawk, Banshee, Adventure Express and all the other great rides KI has to offer are officially open for the 2014 season! Quote
upstop Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 You know it's off season when you look outside at the snow and all you can think of is "HEEEEEEERRRRE'S JOHNNY" 7 Quote
TheCrypt Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 ^SUCH a good movie! I love Stanley Kubrick. 3 Quote

xXDrummerKiDXx Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 ....when you find yourself listening to music that reminds you of past seasons or that you hear while at the park. Shadow Of The Day and Leave Out All The Rest by Linkin Park seems to be the songs that remind me of the 2013 season. Wonder what's on the playlist for this year. 4 Quote
MysticsTimber Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 When you're counting down the days until Opening Day. Can I ride Banshee now??!! Geez I have no patience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 To be honest, I am REALLY excited to ride Banshee, but as of right now, I'm just a little bit more excited to ride Firehawk. Just a wee bit. 3 Quote

Shadow Of The Day and Leave Out All The Rest by Linkin Park seems to be the songs that remind me of the 2013 season. Wonder what's on the playlist for this year. I have a Kings Island playlist featuring Song 2 by Blur, Right Now by Van Halen, Arrival to Earth from the Transformers OST, We Built Our Own World from the Inception OST, and SS Lost-tanic from the LOST Soundtrack. Bonus points if you know why each of those songs remind me of KI. Almost all of them should be very, very easy. 5 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Yeah those are the easy tracks. Surprised you don't have Dream is Collapsing from the Inception Soundtrack Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 ...when you become slightly frantic over bidding on a Tomb Raider: The Ride poster on eBay because 1.) it's Tomb Raider: The Ride, 2.) it's next to impossible to find any Tomb Raider: The Ride merchandise online, and 3.) you don't really bother to check eBay for this kind of stuff during the summer because it doesn't really cross your mind to do so until Christmas. (I won, by the by! ) 10 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Pics when you get it! Only thing from TR:TR I want is pics from controls and I'd love to stand on the ground where the A Frame was and just look around. I miss hearing that resistor bank scream.. 4 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 ^ Well, the original listing had some decent pictures of it in it, but I can't seem to get to those. I'll be sure to take a few pictures when I get it. Until then, have a nice 104x140 sized picture of it: 1 Quote
Adventuro Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 It's actually right about the middle of the off-season guys! We are halfway there. 6 Quote
zombiejane Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 It's actually right about the middle of the off-season guys! We are halfway there. Maybe it's the bitter, bitter cold talking ...but somehow, this doesn't make me feel better. Can't it be April now?! 3 Quote
Captain Nemo Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 ...When the topic of capitalization becomes a permanent issue. Ugh 7 Quote
zombiejane Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 ...I've run out of movies to watch and flying internet spaceships (Eve Online...w00t w00t!) is no longer enough to keep my occupied. I'm losing my freaaaaaking mind man! 1 Quote
Captain Nemo Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 You would probably die if you knew the TRTR crap I have. Oh, and you asked for a controls photo? As a former TRTR worker, I am disgusted with what the park decided to do with the building. 12 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Wow the panel is...bland, unless did you have function with the Allen Bradley Panelview? Quote

I know Right Now by Van Halen is Drop Tower's queue music, but I'm lost on the other few. I got my parents mad when we were watching Indiana Jones, and every time one of the songs came on I was like, "That's in Adventure Express's queue!" 3 Quote
Captain Nemo Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Wow the panel is...bland, unless did you have function with the Allen Bradley Panelview? Everything was automated, the panel was a touchscreen... there was another drive booth called the technical director right across from the drive panel. 3 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I still don't know why they call it a drive box...you're not driving anything One little difference between the parks haha Any pics looking towards the Gondola. I only ever experienced TR:TR once, then three times during the Crypt years...But the ride always intrigued me. I like seeing details you normally don't see. Take DT at CP for instance, the ride is boring, pain in the ass to run, smells, and annoying. However, going inside and doing a trough walk with lights on, man lots of fun Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Pics when you get it! As requested (this may or may not end up sideways; TinyPic's being weird): Sorry for the weird angle; the lighting was such that a straight-on picture would have had my silhouette in the middle of a really bright glare. You would probably die if you knew the TRTR crap I have. That's a safe bet. Thanks for the picture! If you feel inclined to share any more, they'd definitely be appreciated. 6 Quote
