jcgoble3 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 3-D dino movie which was first included with the price to Dinos (or a sep upcharge) , then was free to everyone last summer. Actually, it was an upcharge when it debuted in 2011, then became free to everyone in 2012, then returned to the same upcharge as before in 2013. They couldn't make up their minds. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinity Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I was looking at the webcams earlier and it looked as if people were in the Timberwolf theater. Does anyone know if this is true and if it is, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if this is true and if it is, why? Today is the last day for Music In The Parks. The awards ceremony for that is held in Timberwolf. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Quick question (I've looked on here but couldn't find it), when is Bring-a-Friend for $15 (or whatever the price is)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Mother's Day (over) and Father's Day (June 15) are the only ones I've seen announced for $15 bring-a-friend. Does KI still do starlight (after 4:00) discounted admission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Yep. After 4 when the park closes at 8. After 5 any other night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (This goes with my post saying I won't be riding it much after the incident I had with it)I don't want to drive anyone away from WindSeeker, but this is my incident on WindSeeker on 5/22. What happened on WindSeeker was due to high winds. When first starting up WindSeeker, it was the usual. Music played (Star Trek to be exact) and we went up. When we got to the top and spun about 2 times, the wind picked up, causing the swings to go from 45* to 75* and the seats in front of me, kept hitting me. I pushed it forward about 8 or 9 times while on it. Every time we went around, there was a jolt forward, which was really unpleasant as the ride kept making a clicking sound every time. I tried to wave the operators to stop the ride, but I don't think they saw it/under stood the hand signal. Plenty of other people were frightened, I was holding onto the bar with my arm locked around it, not moving it one bit, even when we were low to the ground, I was still holding because we kept swinging back and forth slightly still.As said, I'm not trying to drive a crowd away from the ride, but just sharing my experience I had on the ride which is why I won't really be riding it much anymore. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 That sounds exciting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Guessing the ride ops didn't see you waving to tell them to stop the ride while you were at the top of the tower, or even 2/3rd of the way up. The general public has ruined that aspect for riders who are really scared or upset by crying wolf when there's nothing wrong. Not saying it didn't happen, but I find it hard to believe the seats extended 30 more degrees with the dampers that were installed after the first set of issues of seats bumping into riders. I can't say what happened for sure because I wasn't on the same ride as you, but it was safe to operate the ride or the system wouldn't have let it operate with the wind speeds. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'm just going to get it out of the way. There has been a lot of false propaganda on this site this year. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I might have exaggerated the angle the seats got, but I know it went over 45 quite a bit, maybe 15 to 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FersureShelbi Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I might have exaggerated the angle the seats got, but I know it went over 45 quite a bit, maybe 15 to 20. Exaggerated or not the look of that ride terrifies me. All I can think about is falling from that height or the old Kentucky Kingdom incident. I don't even go on the Eiffel Tower or DT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 On a more positive note, I want to say great job today Kings Island. Park was clean, employees and management were out ad about. My son is now 1 and I bought a gold pass on a whim today. We (he and I) only went for 3 hours, but it was great. Ride ops helped a fearful dad put his son on a ride by himself. The lil shark loved it! His first individual ride is the off road car ride in Planet Snoopy. Great job today!

shark6495 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I felt so strongly about how they did I called and gave props to the Planet Snoopy crew. I think I even saw Don with his camera out and about today as well. Sent from my SM-T520 using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevKenny Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm willing to bet that the person who made that video is a resident of northern Illinois, and not a fan of B&M. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but when I rode Adventure Express this evening, I noticed that the "Now you will pay" audio is back on in the last tunnel. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razmataz99 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I think that was some juvenile attempt at sarcasm. Read the comments. Plus, that's his second video about how much he hates Banshee. I'm willing to bet that the person who made that video is a resident of northern Illinois, and not a fan of B&M. our definitely right about the northern Illinois part, but he talks highly of the B&M's at Six Flags Great America. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Including Superman: Ultimate Flight. Many B&M partisans even admit those coasters are, to put it politely, not among B&M's finest. And he should be advised that Cedar Point is a registered trademark, and, as such, is always capitalized. There are also many words not spelled correctly, poor grammar, and, my favorite, the title cards with Insert Title Here. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopan Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Ok a few quick thoughts on that. 1.Its not rough. 2.

The Interpreter Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 There is no need to keep reposting the video over and over. It's a waste of bandwidth, and gives the creator the attention he so wants. Please stop. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I just watched the video. I cannot believe what I just saw. Using a construction photo to claim it has no catwalks, other blatant falsehoods, I mean, what was this guy high on?

homestar92 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Also, he says that Banshee has too many loops and that Batman: The Ride at SFGAm has a better amount. Funny, I count two on both rides. Unless he means INVERSIONS, which are not synonymous with loops. But surely he has the correct nomenclature. Any reputable source of information would surely take the time to get their terms right. In all actuality, I think he's jelly. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
