italianchef Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hi my name is Italian Chef and I am a KI Addict. My addiction to KI caused me to ruin my career, lose my family, and care about nothing but my next KI fix. Now I am at KIA and trying to take control of my life. OK - bad joke.

BoddaH1994 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 You might be a Kings Island addict if you have skipped work to go to the park. (But, of course I've NEVER done that:)) You might be a KI Addict if you show up at the park at 5am to do a television filming at KI... in Nick Universe. Guilty parties: Me SOB_Tom Dirty Steve Don Helbig (pre-employment at KI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 You might be a KI addict if you show up at the park on a cloudy, damp Thursday in September for a commercial video shoot on The Vortex. A day when the park itself was closed. And did I mention that they were stopping the train on the mid course break run? That was back in September of 2005. There were several other members of these boards that attended that particular shoot including the Klockster, CoastersnSich, and ZosoBeast. As an aside, you might be a Coney Island addict, if you have worked there for six years, even if the pay is extremely low. And if you find yourself building a website dedicated to Coney Island. And if you are about ready to begin your seventh year of employment at said park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongliveKingsCobra Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 This happened just today/..... You sit at Home Depot in the mower section in the 360 turns and pull the hands down and act like you're on The Beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 You might be a KI Addict if... You sprint full force for Firehawk as soon as the rope drops and race two guys wearing Millenium Force hats and shirts with socks and sandals on. Good times.

Beast1979 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 You might be a KI Addict if you, can't think of anything but know you're an Addict at heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 You might a KI Addict if you dream about living at and owning the park. I would build my house in back of The Racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 You might be a KI addict even if you the fondest memories you have of the park are a long, long time ago...and these days you'd really rather have a great adventure...but with shows not on DVD!

CoastersRZ Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Kind of like the "live show" that Paramount had in the venue now known as the Kings Island Theatre after it was renovated. Paramount`s Magic of the Movies: Live was one of the WORST live shows to ever be put on at Kings Island, as a bulk of the show was just showing clips from Paramount Movies and how the effects were "made".

The Interpreter Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 At least there were some live actors as a part of that show....wait til you see what Six Flags has in store for those who like shows this year...for the most part, it's Dick Clark stuff on DVD...which you could see in your very own living room. Sigh. But, I digress... Send in the cranes, There ought to be cranes.... And now it's next year (or midsummer?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flipside, I think one of the best shows that has been at the KI Theater is Forbidden Magic: Secrets of the Mummy's Tomb, back in 2001. There was also a swing show a long time ago that was also stellar, but I can't remember the exact name of it. Both of these were before the renovations, a la bench style seating.

Justin_M17 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 You may be a KI addict if you are reading through this thread and, as you read the posts, nodding while crossing them off like a checklist "Yep, I do that. And that. And that..." and are now silently (Or otherwise) laughing at yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterkidman Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 You might be a Theme Park addict if you: 1. Are on one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida and you can't stop Thinking About Millennium Force (tee hee ) 2. Ride the Shuttle Launch Experience over and over again because it Reminds you of the Crypt (He says, smirking at himself because it seems so silly in retrospect!) 3.

dare-to-fly Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 You might be a KI addict if...your children know the Son of Beast "rider safety guide" recording by heart..... In case you missed the fun and safety guide instructions out front, the Son of Beast is a high speed, forceful, turbulent roller coaster ride with quick turns and sudden drops. People with existing or prior back, neck, or bone problems, recent surgery or illness, pregnancy, high blood pressure, heart condition or other medical conditions should refrain from riding the Son of Beast. Please be aware of the recommendations and restrictions for this ride, and if you have any questions, please contact a ride attendant.
