CoastersRZ Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Did they sell those at Kings Island? That is a pretty cool magnet. I wonder how much it cost, and if they had any other rides besides The Beast, like say, Diamondback. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 You might be a KI addict if you just bought a new digital camera and are already dreaming of how you'll use the fun shooting modes at KI this coming season 1 Quote

I think there about $15 I think the last car on each beast train should have one of these on the bottom corner lol Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I also think it sticks on the paint...it's not a magnet...right? Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Well why is it not a magnet? Seems kind of stupid to me, and if it is not a magnet but sticks to the paint, I will NOT be buying one! Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 If it were a magnet, someone would remove it for you...probably while it was on your car parked in the park parking lot... I've never seen that type of chrome thingy as a magnet...yellow ribbons and such, yes, but for $15? No. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Auto Emblems are suppose to stick to your car that way Robbie. So it's not a magnet its basically a stick on. Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Not unlike all those chrome fishes you see on ministers' cars (and others)...In fact, that same company makes those...see their emblem on the Kings Island Beast logo that TOPGUN1993 posted? Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Well, I wouldn't want to put something on my car Tatar adheres to the paint. It could damage the paint if I ever tried to rake it off. Quote
Troikafan Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 They sell those in the Emporium. I considered buying one. Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Well, I wouldn't want to put something on my car Tatar adheres to the paint. It could damage the paint if I ever tried to rake it off. If you use a hairdryer, it can be removed without paint damage. However, red cars, especially, may have different, unfaded, paint under the area where the emblem was. A magnet would have the same issue. Quote
Hank Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 You might be a KI addict if you.... can throw up just thinking about riding Delirium! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Please, I`d rather not think about that. That brings back memories of the unpleasant variety form this past summer. Yes, I had "warm rain" fall on my arm while training a person to work Coney`s Ferris Wheel on a slow Sunday. Needless to say, we had to shut down for a bit so I could clean up. The mother of the person that caused the warm rain felt absolutely terrible! Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 ...known in the industry as the infamous "protein spill." Terp, old enough to remember when the remedy for that was a wee bit of water from a hose...and that was ALL. 1 Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Yeah. At Coney, we use a product called Chlor-Retain on it to sterilize it. But we often do not get hoses at most rides. Have to pan and broom it off, which doesn`t always work. Rock O Planes and River Runner sometimes have hoses, at those rides are more susceptible to protein spills. Believe it or not, but one of the last days of the season we actually had a "code brown" at Tilt A Whirl. I was the manager that answered that radio call. In that situation, we also had to use bleach on the car. I`ll never ride in car two on that ride... Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Ah, but at most parks, the cars are repainted and renumbered...as those who learned a favorite bird on Flying Eagles learned... Terp...who is sorry if you don't find that...comforting.... Quote

CoastersRZ Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Yeah. And unfortunately, in my tenure at Coney that has happened two times. Both times, it has happened on that ride! Not sure what it is about that ride (or how the specific thing manages to end up on the seat of the ride in the first place... Quote
windshawne Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Wow-and thats my favorite. I'll try not to remember that this summer Quote
TylerRider Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 You are a KI addict if you can rack up 1000 posts on KICentral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 While that is impressive, check back in when you have accumulated more than 8,800 posts, or Terpy`s more than 29,000 posts! Quote

I remember getting stuck on DB before the station and they hosed that seat off I dont know if they sanitized it though from what I seen it was just hosed and then sent out empty to dry off. If people have weak stomachs don't take the chance. Quote

I think we sat in car two on Coney's closing day! Quote
EssentiallyCoaster Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 You might be a KI addict if during study hall in the cafeteria you think the heater unit in the ceiling sounds like Beast going up the lift hill! Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 ^At least it doesn't sound like Son of Beast going up the lift hill! Or Flight Deck for that matter... Quote
16gwoods Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 The air conditioner in my orchestra room sounds like Firehawk going up the chain lift... i zone out and think about ki every time i hear it Quote
Titan Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 You might be a KI addict when you talk on the phone for 3 hours about how you wish the off-season would end. Quote
jcgoble3 Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 ^ You might be a KI addict when you talk about how you wish the off-season would end when the off-season hasn't even technically begun yet! 4 Quote
