Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
boldikus replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hey, what can I say? I live in the heart of a major, east coast, extremely craft beer-centric city. Add to that that Yuengling is local to us and a beer we "grew up" drinking. It absolutely sucks. You know why I even had that swill yesterday? I was having a very stressful end-of-day at the office, and in a moment of weakness recalled there were beers left from our first post-mask-mandate team meeting we had a few weeks ago. I shot up and breezed into the kitchen to rip open the fridge and... all that was left (read: what no one wanted to drink at the office shindig)? You guessed it. There is still half a case there. It won't be easy, but I'll slowly chip away at it whenever I don't feel like trudging two blocks down to the bottle shop. -

Man, I had a Yuengling today for the first time in ages, simply out of desperation and... it was a nice reminder of what absolute trash it is. Anyways, glad you had fun, Zach. -
OK so if you're going for Platinum FP on a Friday, you can basically do whatever the f**k you want. Maybe start with Wonder Woman as the line does move slowly, and get JDC out of the way since its new and will be busy, but as long as you go for platinum you should be able to get on everything else without much wait, unless you're also waiting for the front on everything (psst - the only rides you need to ride in the front are Ka, Batman and Bizarro). The park is a giant circle so if you start over by Wonder Woman/JDC just hit up Nitro/Batman/JLBFM/Skull Mountain while you're there and then work your way around the circle and hit things as you come to them (Joker/Skyscreamer/Houdini, then El Toro/Bizarro/Mine Train, Ka/Zum, and so on). Just make sure to reserve your next ride once you pass the FP attendant at the ride you're currently going on and you'll have absolutely no wait at the next ride. Once you complete the circle, go back for re-rides.

Maybe if you both actually took the time to read and comprehend the post you'd understand it had nothing to do with differing opinions. I have no opinion of the ride as I haven't ridden it. It was a dig at people with unreasonable expectations who are negatively critiquing each every aspect of the ride after only a handful of laps when the thing literally just opened. But yeah let's make it about me being intolerant.

Flying Scooter Policies and information

Yes, you can. But they will kick your ass right off the ride and start it back up without you. -
Photos courtesy of Linda in the Great Adv Conn FB group. Apparently it was... a little crowded on Monday. See: lines for Joker, Harley Quinn and Flash Pass. For those not in the area, it rained all day Saturday and Sunday, and while I don't think the park actually closed either day (shocker!), it was gorgeous Monday and seems everybody was up for a grated venture. Line for the Skyway: Bizarro never, ever, ever gets lines like this outside of Fright Fest or freakishly perfect summer weekends.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

That's not quite a haiku but keep trying. -
Relax, Karen. Do you really think that Great Adv maintenance, SF engineers and RMC personnel (who were likely on site for that) didn't question why it flew out? Do you really think everyone just laughed and continued on testing like "whatever brah..."? Like Bill said, those dummies are not the rigid type we're used to seeing, its a torso shaped water balloon without legs or arms. Some water gets out and its going to lose its shape and can easily slip out of the restraint. If you look at the video the park released they are to simulate weight and you can see the park actually has to tape them to the seat.

Doubtful. That ad was running on FB a couple days ago and once people started reposting it (like I did a here a few days ago) they pulled it probably realizing it wasn't going to be ready by EOM. That said, the ad is fantastic. I love that they're going for the full on horror angle in the marketing. Hoping we see that on local tv.
