BB1 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Okay I'll admit it, I am getting a little bit of nostalgia due to my upcoming trips back to my old parks and to some new parks with old themes. Also I have been going through some of my old content on my laptop and KIC, bringing back old topics brings back memories I wish I could hold onto forever. With this week being a little bit in the past, I decided to bring our poll week back into the KIC Forums. In all of your time visiting KIC, which topic was your most memorable? Why was it most memorable? Feel free to post links or quotes from the topic that you find most memorable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The Starting to Decode: 2014 Topic has to be the most drama filled, memorable topic of the time I have been a member. It had it all, the half million views, the trying to decode what would become Banshee and how the park would tease us and it all didnt make too much sense until they announced it. The thought of what the ride would be came from a B&M Giga to a B&M Invert. That is my most memorable topic on KIC. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeriewench Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 All the Son of Beast threads. *yawn* 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Starting to Decode 2014 was a legendary topic in every way. So much, well, everything happened in that thread.I have also particularly enjoyed the most recent Kentucky Kingdom thread. Lots of knowledge in there. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Definitely Starting to Decode 2014. When a single thread drives site activity up from the normal ~200 posts per day in-season to 1,000 posts per day, you know it will be remembered for a long time to come. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Starting to Decode 2014. So much happened, so much drama, so much humor! It was itself a roller coaster ride, and I think it brought a lot of KICers "closer". 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Most memorable?...... Probably between the "Starting to Decode 2014" topic and most topics regarding Son of Beast.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I'd put the Random Discussion and Random Food Discussion threads as close 2nds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yea, I'd have to say the Starting to Decode 2014 thread, also. Never posted then, but it was good reading. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I haven't officially made a decision on my favorite KIC thread, but I must say that the Decoding 2014 thread was definitely one to remember. I remember having to catch up a few pages (anywhere from 3-5) every time I got on the computer. Good times! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Like so many others, Starting to Decode 2014. Not only was it very entertaining and at times simply crazy, but it was what first brought me to KIC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I am in the older generation I guess and the Diamondback thread in 2009 is what got me into being a true enthusiast and being really interested in the industry. I can not seem to find the thread in the search for some reason, but that thread was so long and was so much fun as we watched DB being built slowly each day! I made so many friends on here and at the park from it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 As always, the topic where the kid was trying to find the girl of his dreams that he met in a gift shop. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I would agree on Starting to Decode 2014. I had been on the site a few years by then (joined in Spring 2009) as that one was RIDICULOUSLY huge. It was a time when you visited KIC, and then came back 5 minutes later and that thread had 20+ new posts already it seemed. So much came out of that one thread. Honorable Mentions from my time here on KIC would be... -The various Son of Beast threads...however not one really sticks out since there were several of them, which kind of hurt their chances. -TOPGUN1993's countdown to opening day threads with the retro KI pictures. Any of them. These were awesome. -The standing within 3' of 1974 (or something like that) thread...yeah, I really enjoy looking at pictures of Kings Island from before my first visit in 2000 (also 2001-2008 since I never visited during those years either) -The Banshee construction thread. In a sense, this was the sequel to "Decoding 2014"... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Also don't forget that "Kings Island 2014 Coaster" trended on Yahoo. If you clicked on it, it went to the Decoding 2014 thread. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 "Rumor 2009 coaster" is the biggest one I can think of. The first (though unsolicited) pics of the (rumored to be) drained Swan Lake were shocking. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Camden Park still has its Swan Lake (named after Kings Island's). Ironically, when I was a lad, it was an amphitheater, where the likes of Dolly and Porter played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtk1378 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I haven't been here long enough to really be part of any of the big discussions such as the Decode 2014 thread. So I guess my favorite would be the "New Haunt Attraction Near The Beast" thread. This would be for several reasons: - It was the very first thread I started here (under my previous handle DTK1376 before it got deleted mysteriously) - It being my first thread, ended up being 11 pages long of good dialogue for the most part - And the moment I posted I was told how crazy I was to be posting something from Screamscape like it was a foregone conclusion it wasn't happening so it shouldn't be discussed, so I had a bit of vindication with that lol http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/29490-new-haunt-attraction-near-the-beast-this-year/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsislandfan1972 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The most memorable Topic on here to me will always be about The Bat returning to Kings Island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricsun Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I like the random photo of the day thread. The variety of pictures and perspectives reminds me that there is more than one way to see the world around me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph88 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 For me the most memorable topic was "The Crypt- Gone for 2012". I remember getting SO confused when I saw the ride was no longer on the website and I started looking for info as to why. That's when I discovered KI Central and started reading the forum, though I didn't make an account til years later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
