dtk1378 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 ^ This, I was just thinking the other day how much money I was having to spend now at the grocery now due to not having my two free meals at Kings Island once a week. Is it too much to ask to just open up the gates of Kings Island just to have the restaurants open and serving lunch? 8 Quote

Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 When you go out of your way to take the narrow, hilly, back roads instead of the wide, relatively straight Interstate home from work, just to experience hills. Please always drive safely, and obey all posted traffic signs. 9 Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 When the parking lot is empty at 2 in the afternoon. You know what's weird? I drive past KI every day. Since more days than not are days in which Kings Island is closed in a calendar year, it's almost weird to see cars in the parking lot. You can also chalk that up to the off season feeling like it's 4 years long and the season lasting the blink of an eye. 9 Quote

electricsun Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 When you are at a performance and the beginning of the opening piece takes you back to fall at Kings Island. The first 43 seconds of this: 5 Quote
Oldiesmann Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I can't imagine how you'd do that piece with only two musicians. I'll have to check that out when I get a chance... 4 Quote
electricsun Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I'll tell ya, it was really impressive to watch. I did some research after the performance and the man that created the original would record himself playing each piece and then layered it for the record. There were points where they were moving mics, guitars, cymbals, sliding across the stage...to see it being performed was like a behind the scenes moment. 6 Quote
JubJester Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 When you look at the floor tiles athe the Washington D.C. Metro and it makes you think of Fury325 and Diamondback. Edit: Metro 4 Quote

JubJester Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Fury325's 6 sided shapes on sign that will be in place come spring. I'll turn anything I see into coaster. It's the off season. Edit: Diamondback I thought of after the Fury325.... not sure why 6 Quote

Dane Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 When Kings Island closes it's not a huge deal to me as football season is just ramping up entertainment wise. When football season comes to a end though is when it difficult. I guess it's not too soon to start planning for Reds Opening day. 7 Quote
