SonODiamondback Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Found this pretty funny.

disco2000 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 ^ the photo shoot I attended last year at KI, we were also instructed to keep our hands down. I thought it was more for aesthetics at the time. They may tell you that is the reason....another being if their commercials had hands up, you can be sure an attorney would enter that as evidence in the future when some idiot does something stupid as a result of having hands up...argument being "well look the park allows hands up so my client assumed he wouldn't lose a hand..." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsRide Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 We may have essentially no say in the actual name, theme, or layout of any ride at Kings Island. We do, however, get a bit of say on what people call rides. After many names have been put forth, I have created a survey for what we should call Mystic Timbers when speaking informally!

CoasterOhio Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I like MysTi the most. Ride was themed to fog a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ki Man Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Yah. Great. Let's give enthusiasts another coaster name to tack on "ie" to annoy every other person above the age of 5. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 <snip> We do, however, get a bit of say on what people call rides. </snip> Do we? Are you going to police people in-line as they refer to the coaster? Not looking forward to the back and forth chants: "MT", "Mysti", "MT", "Mysti"... This all just reads like people are sour about the name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we may have more coasters than available names. We could select some other 70s characters to fill in the gaps. I know which coaster would fit Buck Rogers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calakapepe Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Just to show how open the area is right now This is from yesterday the 4th, but I can post some more later today, more detailed photos. Not a heck of a lot has changed since Magenta Lizard posted EDIT- I should start using only the construction progress thread for this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonODiamondback Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Ok I would name The Racer CHIP'S because the run side by side. Patrolling the mean steets of Coney Mall. And you have the red racer as the flashy guy Ponch. And the Blue Racer as the solid partner John. And I would rename The Beast to Grizzly Adams cause he is a coaster the didn't like the flashy lights of International Street and Coney Mall and decided to live out in the woods behind Rivertown.

Well if the parks didn't royally screw things up so often and they let the professionals here take care of the naming we wouldn't be in this jam. Would we? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I propose we start working on gathering our Mr. T costumes for opening day. "I pity the fool who doesn't dress up like Mr. T to ride Mr. T" In all honesty, I could care less about nicknaming a ride a certain way. When, in reality I will probably just call it Mystic Timbers, or Mystic, or Timber, who knows. But to go as far as for some to believe that there would be policing would be haberdashery, if anything it could become a joke for me. I will say that I wish that Mystic Timbers get some cool trees like weeping Norway spruces, or other bizarre trees and call them "Mystic Trees" or "MysTrees" and have the queue be called "The Mystic Garden" but hey, that's only an idea. (If that becomes a reality, I would freak out if there's an Australian tree and if it had a small plaque hinting to BB1, or Boomerang Bay, just saying.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I usually refer to coasters by their names, except when typing, I'll do some initials (DB, AE) because it's easier. "Millie" and "Maggie" particularly make my skin crawl, but I get why people use them. I just thought nicknaming the coaster was a fun little thing to do while we're waiting to find out what's in the shed. With a four syllable name, it's a foregone conclusion some people are going to use some sort of shorthand. I wanted to head off "Mysty" at the pass, in part because it reminds me of a woman I graduated with who killed herself a few Christmases ago. Also the straight initials MT sound like "Empty" and that is a sad nickname for a ride. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
