The Interpreter Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 So does that mean that most of the toilets no longer work? No. And believe it or not, the park has waterless urinals. And a water fountain inside the men's restroom at the back (yuck). 3 Quote
homestar92 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 You know it's the offseason when your brother informs you that the KI food truck was at Cincinnati Financial handing out free blue ice cream, and texts you a picture of himself eating it. Needless to say, I'm jealous of him. 8 Quote

emileeee Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I know the off-season is getting to me. Last night my boyfriend and I had our date night in Mason, just so I could drive by the empty, lonely park. Hold on guys I'm gonna cry. So close yet so far! 7 Quote

xXDrummerKiDXx Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 When a song, once again, randomly plays on your iPod and it brings up memories of Kings Island. I know I'm not the only one. Heck, this could have already been mentioned. 4 Quote
MysticsTimber Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 ^ No you're not the only one. There are many songs on my iPod that remind me of KI. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
BB1 Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 ^ Do check out this topic : http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/25889-songs-that-go-well-with-rides-at-ki/ , it discusses a little bit about what you are talking about When you begin to count down the hours until Opening Day. 1 Quote
coasterfanatic83 Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 You hear a bus on the way back from class and the noise you immediately think of is the release of pressure on The Bat's brakerun. That PSSHHHH sound Now that I think about it, could someone actually refresh me on what makes that noise? I think I have a solid idea but I don't want to assume I'm right... 7 Quote

MarkB. Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 You take a Sat. off from work so you can prepare for the coaster season. My (partial)checklist: 1. Burner flip phone that fits easily in my front pocket---For park emergency use only.---Keep the "good" phone in the car. 2. Book 2 nights at a nearby hotel. 3. Oil change in the car. 4. Clear safety glasses with a strap to keep them from flying off during a ride. 5. Pack for varying weather conditions. (it is mid April in the Midwest) 6. $.97 rain poncho's (fit nicely in back pocket) 7. A couple Ziplock baggies for your stuff that you don't want to get wet if weather hits or for water rides later in the season. 8. Clean out all the junk from wallet. Later, Mark 6 Quote
MarkB. Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 I like clear safety glasses because you can keep your eyes wide open and not squint because of the air hitting you in the face ay 50+ MPH (just like a lot of people wear sun glasses on rides) but at night you don't need tinted lenses. 2 Quote

homestar92 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 No need for safety glasses here! There are some perks to having poor vision. Unless you were at Knott's Berry Farm prior to a few months ago. 2 Quote

Sebastien6221 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Yeah I bought sunglasses specifically for the new season. yea, i need to buy myself a cheap pair just so my good ones won't be lost on a ride. Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Amazon, my friend! I bought a pair of Full Mirrored Aviator Sunglasses for $9.45 and I love them. At the Walmart near me (in Englewood), these were $25 so I saved $15. Quote
Sebastien6221 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I'm thinking a 5 dollar pair from Walmart lol Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 ♫ With the glass so dark thay won't even know your name. And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes: Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses... ♫ -Tb, quoting ZZ Top 3 Quote
homestar92 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 AND, since the Offseason is back among us, time to revive this thread. Today at work, I got some of my code back from the QA department that was ready for release. They sent me the ticket with the comment "All clear". Naturally, my follow-up comment when I sent it back to inform them that it had been merged into our release candidate was: "That all clear means this code is out of here, so sit upright and hold on tight because this changelist will be released tonight!" And no, I won't get in trouble for that. Our ticket tracking system is purely internal, so we will often try to inject humor into our notes. One of the things I like about my job, they don't expect us to be proper and professional all the time as long as we project a professional attitude to the customers and release stable, high quality software, the higher-ups are good with that. 11 Quote
