DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Several more years and Snoopy may be as inculcated in the hearts and minds of Kings Island lovers as Fred Flintstone once was. Doubt it. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 You are not the target market. Yet. 4 Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Don't know if I'll ever be in the bland mascot market. Fred Flintstone pops Snoopy blends. Quote
MantisMan Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Don't know if I'll ever be in the bland mascot market. I said the same thing until the birth of my daughter. Then all of a sudden they seemed very important. 5 Quote

MDMC01 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 You know it's the offseason when you are watching coaster POV's on Youtube, hoping the coaster season will start soon. 23 more days! 7 Quote
TheCryptCrusader Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 You know it's the off-season when you get frustrated when the park webcams fog up due to rain. 3 Quote
johnaalexis Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 You know it's the offseason when you are watching coaster POV's on Youtube, hoping the coaster season will start soon. 23 more days! I have found my self doing this more and more recently as I am planning my first trip of the season! 3 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 YKItOSW, with less than a week to go, I transfer from anticipation and excitement, to panic that I've become too soft in the past few months to handle a day of hiking all over the park. And I still haven't found my stupid coin purse I like to carry smashed penny supplies in. 5 Quote

BB1 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Oh please don't remind me again. BB1 getting his fall rides in on The Bat and is keeping his mind off it! 1 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 For me, KIC becomes Kings Island during the off-season. My mind goes to my favorite table at the Festhaus patio (the one with the perfect view of Delirium and Banshee, as well as seeing all the happy, amazed faces of new guests emerging from the canopy of the trees, all awestruck by their first views of those awesome KI rides), and the conversation and fellowship on this site bridges the long, winter months perfectly! 13 Quote

Magenta Lizard Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Yep, the boards do get busier in the off season. I know it's the off season when the depression sets in. 4 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 That's what we're all here for - to chase away the off-season blues! 5 Quote
PKIVortex Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 When you see tweets from the park with the trains removed from the rides. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk 8 Quote
VortexBFForever Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 ...when swimming season starts. There was a meeting during lunch today for those interested in swimming, and there's the winter sports meeting on Thursday. First practice of the season is November 9 at 7 p.m.; I will be starting my third year on the Xenia Christian varsity swim team. It makes the next four months go by a little more quickly (along with Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, my birthday, school musical auditions/rehearsals, and of course the Photo Contest!). 5 Quote
