Ride On_17 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WailsLikeABanshee Posted January 20, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted January 20, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar92 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I suddenly have the urge to put 86 tallies on my white board and erase one every day. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted January 22, 2014 Share 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!

xXDrummerKiDXx Posted January 23, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticsTimber Posted January 23, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted January 23, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TombRaiderFTW Posted January 23, 2014 Share 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.

thedevariouseffect Posted January 23, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 23, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nemo Posted January 25, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted January 25, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 25, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
