italianchef Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Today I went to Kings Island for opening day with one of my friends. I immediately noticed the new signs with the new logos when I entered the gates. First we riode Flight of Fear, which was more dark than usual. But it was an awesome ride. We next rode Zephyr, which made me feel like a super-hero flying. Since Kings Island Central advertised the LaRosa's grand re-opening, we attended it next. The extravagant festivities were marked by breath taking speeches. These words changed my life. I will never be able to look at the floors of LaRosa's again without appreciating the great efforts that went into revamping them. Following the spiritual experience of the festivities, we ate LaRosa's pizza for lunch. The food was not quite on par with the dinner that I enjoyed at Jean Robert's at Pigall's, but worth every penny I paid for the meal. After lunch, we rode SDATHC and I didn't score too well. Perhaps I am out of practice. Then we exchanged our temporary IDs for permanent IDs and enjoyed alcoholic beverages at Lt. Dan's bar. Next we rode the (forwards) Racer, which I think has become my favorite roller coaster in the park. We tried to ride The Beast and the Kings Island and Miami Valley Railroad, but the former was down and the latter wasn't operating. Hence, we rode The Italian Job, which had a very long line. We then rode the bumper cars at Coney Mall, followed by a ride to the top of The Eiffel Tower. Then we visited what used to be the Paramount Story and were pleased to see all Paramount props gone. The next thing we did was watch the Hot Island Rythms show, which was entertaining. After the show, we rode Viking Fury and Adventure Express. By then we were tired, so we shopped at Emporium before going home. I purchased clothes and souvenires for every member of my family Overall it was a great day. I'm glad that Kings Island is now owned by Cedar Fair - and I'm glad that I now have a new job with a new company. Both Kings Island and I are enjoying awesome changes. Have a great day!

Jasper Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Sounds like you had a good time. I got a Gold Season Pass for the first time so i plan on attending the park a lot more this year. I like FOF being darker it gives you all that more feeling of being out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
