IndyGuy4KI Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 With all the things going on in the world we need something to keep us positive and cheerful. We will use this thread to brighten everyone's day. I know we have some separate threads for some of this, but let's use this one to post anything positive to support our fellow KIC members while we wait for thing to get back to normal and the toll gates to open. We can post about all parks not just KI in here as well. Post your favorite: POV's Coaster and park pics Coaster YouTube videos (no self promotion) Positive quotes (not religious or political) Anything you think might brighten another KIC members day. *Anything negative at all will just be removed at the discretion of the admin team. I will start with this picture on KMAA. I can not wait to replicate this pic with Orion in the background. 21 2 Quote

Klabergian Empire Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Just wanna say that I appreciate @IndyGuy4KI for starting this thread. This is a shot of the park I can't wait to see in the spring and summer: 12 Quote

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 My last sit down restaurant was lunch yesterday at Quaker Steak. Which have very good buffalo wings. Also, the theming in there is very good. In fact the theming in Quaker steak gave me an idea of theming for a future Kings Island roller coaster addition. 1 Quote

But seriously, the theming in Quaker steak definitely be perfect for a ki coaster. 3 Quote
BeastForever Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Regardless of when/if the park opens, or how long this crisis goes on, at least we still have @KIghostguy's book to look forward to! Am really excited for that! 7 1 Quote

I know they filled in part of the hammerhead with sand this past winter, but when was this done on the lift hill? I seem to recall discussions a few years back about a change in wheels, but I don't remember hearing about sand. 2 Quote

IndyGuy4KI Posted March 18, 2020 Author Posted March 18, 2020 This is when Fountain ERT got started many years ago. This is our own @pianoman explaining the light sequence. You might notice him being distracted. That is me making faces at him and then I jump in the shot at the end. 2 4 Quote
Shawn Meyer Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 I don't know what to talk about. I feel lost with all the news about this virus going on. I do want to let everybody know I run a page on Facebook called Cedar Fair photo fan page. Please check it out sometime. 2 Quote

TombRaiderFTW Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 I'm stretching the definition of "brighten" a bit here, but something that's brought some light into my life lately is meditation. It feels really nice to set time aside for calming my mind and releasing tension in my body. Especially as someone with anxiety, being intentional about meditating will likely have some really great benefits for me. There are some useful apps like Headspace that offer guided meditations, if you're wanting to give it a shot but don't know what to do. It's okay and natural to feel kinda silly the first couple times, but hang with it. 5 Quote
