CoasterOhio Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I was wondering when Kings Island opened for ERT this year? My sister said it was an hour early (9am) but I thought I kept seeing 9:30am like 2013 season. 1 Quote
Gplez90 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 A half an hour before the scheduled opening for the general public. I.e. If the park opens at 10, ERT is 9:30. If it opens at 12, ERT is at 11:30. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
jla Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Which rides are on it this year? I know Banshee is but what else? Quote
homestar92 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Only Banshee has been officially announced. I'd bet there'll be at least one more major attraction, but nothing for sure yet. Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 If I had to guess I'd say it's going to be other attractions in Action Zone for ERT but that's just my guess. 1 Quote
homestar92 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Until people complain that Diamondback isn't included and it gets changed like in 2011... -homestar92, still angry about how short lived Vortex ERT was... 5 Quote
jdf21972 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I would hope they would alternate rides like Action Zone & rivertown. 1 Quote
calakapepe Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 All I know is, Banshee is on that ERT list, and that's all that'll matter for me. 2 Quote
Joshua Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I would hope they would alternate rides like Action Zone & rivertown. Action Zone and Rivertown are..... yadda, yadda, yadda... You get the gist. 1 Quote
TheCrypt Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I would hope they would alternate rides like Action Zone & rivertown. Action Zone and Rivertown are..... yadda, yadda, yadda... You get the gist. Actually, Rivertown and Action Zone aren't registered trademarks of Cedar Fair, but they should still be capitalized anyways because they're proper nouns. 2 Quote
malem Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Rivertown and Action Zone aren't registered trademarks of Cedar Fair, but they should still be capitalized anyways because they're proper nouns. Those definitely are trademarks, which should be used properly, even though they are not registered trademarks. 1 Quote
TheCrypt Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 ^What's the difference between a trademark and a registered trademark? Quote
fanofFirehawk Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 One is registered, the other isn't...or <a href="http://smallbusiness.chron.com/differences-between-copyright-trademark-registration-780.html">Maybe</a>. 2 Quote
CoasterOhio Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 Most likely the ERT rides would be (Possibly) Invertigo, Delirium, The Beast, Diamondback and Banshee (Confirmed) Quote
TheCrypt Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 One is registered, the other isn't...or <a href="http://smallbusiness.chron.com/differences-between-copyright-trademark-registration-780.html">Maybe</a>.Thanks for that link.Any distinctive name, symbol, or word is designated as trademarked with the symbol TM...however I've never seen any park area with that symbol next to the name, whether it be on the map or a sign. In order for a name to be a trademark, does the TM symbol need to be next to the name? 1 Quote
DJSkyFoxx Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I bet that The Bat will be part of ERT since it is a "new" attraction. Just a guess though. 3 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Or a © symbol. No, that's for indicating copyright, which is a completely different concept from trademarks. Quote
shawnofthedead Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I bet that The Bat will be part of ERT since it is a "new" attraction. Just a guess though. ERT I doubt it. Last year was almost walk on everytime I rode it. You never know though. Quote
TheCrypt Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 It's possible that there might not be a lot of people in line for The Bat this season, but I think the rebranding and location next to Banshee will help the popularity of the ride. 5 Quote
calakapepe Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I'd bet Invertigo or Delirium will be chosen along side Banshee.Also, looks like the kiddies will get their turn at early riding too, this year.https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/451841222055698432 1 Quote

In order for a name to be a trademark, does the TM symbol need to be next to the name? It is not necessary that a trademark be registered, nor that TM be used beside it. Both are methods of demonstrating the user claims a trademark, but such visible indication is not necessarily necessary.

CoasterOhio Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 Let's not go off topic to try figuring out if a non-trademarked name is to be capitalized. If it's a name, it's capitalized. Simple as that. Now let's talk about ERT, not Trademarks. 8 Quote
jdf21972 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Sorry I Got Everyone Off-Topic About Trademark Laws, Next Time I Will Make Sure To Use My Shift Key For Places Of Interest 5 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Sorry I Got Everyone Off-Topic About Trademark Laws, Next Time I Will Make Sure To Use My Shift Key For Places Of Interest Please don't overuse it, however. Capitalizing every single word in a sentence is unnecessary. 8 Quote
Jr for Birdy Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 My guess would be Banshee and DB going ERT all season, perhaps other coasters in a rotation throughout the season. Quote
calakapepe Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Probably not Diamondback..again:https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/451841222055698432 3 Quote
