OMG i hope that's not what he said towards me lol... I looked FTFY up on google as I also didnt know what it meant which is why I didnt respond with question marks.

Hey everybody, long time lurker, first time poster.

 

Kings Island is my home park now. Been going to Cedar Point since 1985. Since I moved to Indy I wanted a closer park to call home and i'm happy that Kings Island is that place.

 

I will be at the park a bunch this summer, at least once a week. I will be starting this adventure on May 3rd. I was thinking about going this Saturday but it looks like the weather isn't going to cooperate. If anyone is going to be there on Friday the 3rd I would love to meet up with some TPR peeps. I will be with a friend from college that hasn't been there in 10 years.

 

Thanks everyone.

What is wrong this Saturday? I see 64, cloudy and only 20 percent chance of rain according to weather.com. I will be there on Sat. Then not again until May 12 and every weekday until school kids get out.

Will be there on Weds May 15th, first time at the park and looking for some Diamondback love.

[B&MBoy1982]

I will be there opening day, rain or shine!

[Wingless92]

I wish I could join ya this weekend. Got stuff to do here in Indy if it doesn't rain.

Are this year's "Education Days" the KI version of other parks' physics day? Have they been spreading it out like this in previous years? I would suppose that this would level out the crowds a little better than having just one day or weekend for such events. I have heard that some parks can be inordinately busy on their physics day.

I might go on Sunday if I don't work to get my pass processed and ride Diamondback.

 

PS For those who don't know, KI has webcams, and I generally check them before I go to make sure there's not a random crowd.

[Wingless92]

I saw the webcams, but the last time I checked they weren't up. Then again it could be Chrome.

The thing is that no one under 35 remembers ever seeing anything Brady, it just seems to me to be a really long reach to get people at the park.

 

 

I remember watching the Brady Bunch as a kid. It was one of my favorite shows. I still see it when I am at my parents house (I don't have a television) on the retro channels... and I'm only 19...

You won't get in on Sunday.

 

They are closed for a private party.

FTFY? Pardon my age, but I don't understand this text speak. "F^@k that, & F^@k you," is all I can come up with.

 

"Fixed That For You"

 

This term is used when a user quotes another user, but then re-edits the original quote to make changes. Typically this is used to change the quote in an humorous fashion, However, corrections to make the quote factually correct or to express a different opinion are common as well. In general FTFY is used as a marker to say “I quoted you but changed something within your quote.”

 

Where TPR uses the term "Fixed", larger forums like Reddit use "FTFY".

I'm pretty excited to ride the Diamondback tomorrow! Also curious to see how the racer is now after lots of work this offseason. Hopefully much more smooth that it was years previous. It might be chilly out still, but it FEELS like summer now that i can get some coaster fun.

[skiisncoasterz]

Anybody doing the Pink 5k at kings island? Ill be there bright and early. Then ill head to beast to get the season rolling. Ill be in the park until 1030am or so. Then ill be back after work at around 615ish. If anyone wants to meet up I'm game.

[Wingless92]

Y'all are killing me, lol. I would love to go tomorrow but I have plans already.

 

I will be there on Friday though. Have fun everyone. Remember to sit in the back and scream like a girl!

[B&MBoy1982]

I start and end my day on Diamondback, with rides on Diamondback in between!

 

Once again, this is how excited I am to ride Diamondback.

Construction wall enthusiasts might want to check out Action Zone tomorrow.

A friend posted this on Facebook. Yup, it's gone!

Far more interesting is the signs on the fence hinting at the new ride. Something about "video recording of an evil presence that has been detected." I'm at the park, I'll try and take a better photo later if no one beats me to it.

[Koasterking48]

So this pretty much confirms a roller coaster/major attraction for 2014/15?

 

EDIT: Did Windseeker open today?

Lots and lots of footers! That can only be a good thing. Looks like you all are getting Led Zeppelin from HRP.

[thepoint4life23]

Its got to be something big if they are starting work now. NOW I HAVE to go to kings island to see what is going on

[PKI Jizzman]

Bahahah. We better not be. I'm not opposed to a sit down B&M but I don't see it fitting in with the terrain and such; I'm still sticking to my sources and saying we're getting a Leviathon-style coaster. Glad to see there's already a decent amount of progress being done already!

[Legoguy1395]

Hmm.. Interesting. I think Eiffel Tower will be a popular ride this summer.
