Thanks, Robb! This is going to be the year for Haunt! Come visit! This is a HUGE step for KI. KI's Haunt has a big thing for dead celebs. The Grimm Reaper in the front of the park always had his list! The list. Wonder who's this year! Hope he's not my boss this season!

http://www.wlwt.com/entertainment/21043973/detail.html Kings Island Pushes Boundaries For Halloween Haunt Live Animals, Dead Celebrities Among Attractions POSTED: 4:23 pm EDT September 21, 2009 UPDATED: 7:30 pm EDT September 21, 2009 MASON, Ohio -- Kings Island will employ some unusual tactics to scare park-goers this Halloween -- including the use of live animals and dead celebrities. The park will feature the traditional butcher shop, complete with various slabs of meat, including humans. But this fall, the park will also feature live animals, something that could prove controversial. "We want things to be as authentic as possible and incorporate some animals into one of the mazes. I think it's going to provide authenticity that we're looking for," said park spokesperson Don Helbig. Helbig said the animals that will be used in the exhibit all belong to a park employee and they're confident none will be injured for the sake of a good scare. Beyond the live animals, Kings Island will push the boundary of good taste with a graveyard of recently deceased celebrities. Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger and Steve McNair are among the celebrity displays that will likely make you cringe. Farrah Fawcett even sports her famous red tank top for one display. The park promises even more. One display shows Farrah Fawcett's skeleton in her signature pose. "You're gonna see Ted Kennedy, Ed McMahon and there's still other ones yet to be placed," said Helbig. Images: Irreverent Halloween Displays Needless to say, this year's Halloween Haunt is not for the younger crowd. "(There's) a lot of intense imagery, suggestive themes and things like that, so if you have young children, don't bring them to Halloween Haunt," recommended Helbig. Copyright 2009 by WLWT.com.

Okay, now it just looks like a sit down impulse coaster. Go with the spinning trains like Intamin! Those half pipes are awesome.

I'm loving Xavier University down in Cincinnati, Ohio. -Young prof's -Not too much homework -Fun sports events -Great people -Great "social weekend activities"

I'd love to see an Intamin Ball coaster on this ride.. That'd be soooo much fun! Half pipes are awesome.

Comparable to Voyage?! That's a very bold statement for a 'family rated' GCI...

OMG! Lol, awesome!!!

Yup, same sh*t, different year.

Omg, Fireball looks soooo good!

Andrew, Tex, Allison, Dan, Luko, Chris, and I got the Whataburger credit! LOL. Very good fries, pretty good burgers... Luko had the Cinnamon roll that took 45 minutes for the to make; and Chris got some sort of breakfast-taco wrap....thing? LOL

Dude! That video was AWESOME. The quality was fantastic!!!! Great job Robb! Mega lites look sooooo good.

Hey Erik, still drying off from the speed boat?

Thanks for the photos! Goliath looks sooooo good! Always glad to see that awesome Intamin coaster. -JZ

I hope it's as heavily landscaped as it's depicted. ^^And PP sucks. The drop is too big, everything about the drop is painful. UGH. Waste, waste, waste. This is what should have been at HW.

This isn't what I thought of when I heard "aquatrax" but close enough I probably won't ride it until 2011 when the lines won't be over an hour.

Theme, ride length, surprises, ride, trains, music, light show, Scooby, lift, pre lift, MORE surprises, location, park, vacation feel. LOL.

Here's mine. 1. Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster - Warner Bros. Movie World 2. Voyage - Holiday World 2. Maverick - Cedar Point 3. Shockwave - Six Flags Over Texas 3. Corball Express - IB 4. Diamondback - Kings Island 4. Goliath - Six Flags Over Georgia 5. Kentucky Rumbler - Beech Bend 5. Mindbender - SFOG 6. Space Mountain - Disneyland 6. California Screamin' - Disney's California Adventure 7. Mr. Freeze - Six Flags Over Texas 7. Millennium Force - Cedar Point 8. Afterburn - Carowinds 8. Titan - SFOG 9. Superman Krypton Coaster - Six Flags Fiesta Texas 9. Steel Hawg - IB 10. Raven - HW 10. Top Thrill Dragster - Cedar Point It's messed up, I know! LOL

AHA! Someone who thinks exactly how I do! That's why my favorite seat on Diamondback is in row 9 or 10. The "Traditional" B&M feel; nice and floaty. The airtime in the front and back is so unusual. I love it! But it's weird... -JZ

Voyage, Steel Hawg, and Giant Drop? OMG. -The best coaster ever -Craziest coaster ever -Best Drop Ride.....OMGGGG ANYWHERE!

The most likely story is they'll do what they always do: make it a generic version of its former self. Just a generic shooting dark ride with ghosts. It's really not that special of a shooter anyway. The guns often don't work that well. Maybe they'll call it something hilariously generic like "Shooting Dark Ride". I'd like Phantom Theatre back. That'd be a HUGE plus for the park. But...it's a wish.
