thrillseeker4552 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 ^I went through the entire workbook and the concepts and math presented here is the type of stuff I did in late middle and early high school, so my guess is 8th-11th graders, depending on whether this is an "advanced" course or not. I assume there were several blatantly obvious questions to those who maybe have never been to a theme park before or know anything about how roller coasters work. As a second-year civil engineering major and physics/math person, I REALLY wanna print out that workbook and go to Kings Island now. #nerdsrule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The 2019 map is viewable here: https://cdn-cloudfront.cfauthx.com/binaries/content/assets/ki-en-us/general-information/groups/youth/ed-days-workbook-hs-student4---copy-min.pdf What the hell grade is that workbook intended for, High School? Most of the math is beyond me, but then there are questions like this one: Bumper Cars resemble automobiles, except for their bumpers. How are their bumpers different? which seems like it's made for 1st graders? Page 5 answers this with the "Ohio Content Standards" and "National Science Content Standards" descriptions. It's for high school, grades 9-12, but the teacher would select which part of the workbook for them to do depending on what content they are learning. Some of it is directed more for grades 11-12 but mostly grades 9-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'd say someone has already asked this, but who all has their Coasterstock tickets? I bought mine this morning. I might go to the event alone, but some of my friends might tag along later on. It's my first event, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I don't think you guys can call Kw6sTheatee a nerd because he clearly misspelled the 'Theater' part of his username when hastily signing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 That sounds good. Not sure the Reds licence was doing very much for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 So is this new "restaurant" going to be full service? I believe it's taking over the Red's Sports Bar so it should be full service, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KICoasterkev Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 A new festival was just announced for summer at Kings Island, along with 3 other Cedar Fair parks! This looks awesome, can't wait! Grand Carnivale! Coming to KI, June 15-July 7. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2019/03/26/1767432/0/en/Experience-Cedar-Fair-s-All-New-Grand-Carnivale-at-Select-Parks-this-Summer.html?fbclid=IwAR1DMKUAXpn7uji1jbk01lFNcOPyDW5HQUmWdHnhUlfx7j_VAIe3FYqEyGc#.XJoWhp5c-tU.facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 That festival looks great, and the parks are well chosen. It'll fit in with International Street at KD and KI and with the Jules Verne theme at WoF. But most importantly, it will give people a reason to visit Dorney.

drummermattk Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 For anyone that has KI as their home-park, or for those who visited from now back to the dawn of dinosaurs (just kidding haha) some may have seen the Festhaus at the park and these figures either sitting still or moving around to announce the time. well have no fear cause it is returning for this season after a refurbishment! Here's what the KI Blog said about the refurbishment on 3/29/2019: GLOCKENSPIEL TO RETURN FOR KINGS ISLAND’S 2019 SEASONMarch 29, 2019 For ten years a cherished Kings Island icon rested in a small, dark corner of the park gathering dust. Rarely seen since it was removed from public view in 2009, the lifeless Festhaus Glockenspiel characters have been poised and ready to announce the next quarter hour, which never came. A musician waited to raise his trumpet. A chef, to display his culinary creation. A couple, ready to raise their steins in celebration. When Kings Island opens to Gold and Platinum Passholders for preview night on April 19th, guests will get a first look at the completely restored characters and new clock at the main Festhaus entrance in the Oktoberfest area of the park. Maintenance, signage, and technical services associates, as well as outside vendors, combined for more than 100 hours of restoration to bring both the glockenspiel and entrance of Festhaus back to life, including: A brand new clock supplied by The Verdin Company headquartered in Cincinnati Completely restored glockenspiel characters New hand stenciled artwork on the building’s exterior According to Kings Island General Manager, Mike Koontz, restoring Festhaus’ exterior and glockenspiel pays homage to a building in the park with rich history. “Above the doors to Festhaus are the lyrics to an old German Oktoberfest song,” Koontz said. “Translated, it says ‘A toast. A toast. To cheer and good times,’ and that’s what Festhaus has always been for Kings Island. A place where families can come together and create memories while eating together or enjoying a show. It seems only fitting that we restore the glockenspiel, to help bring back those memories and help today’s friends and families create new ones.” In 2019, antique cars also will return to the park, along with a completely renovated International Street, and celebration of the Beast’s 40th anniversary. For many adults, this season they will see Kings Island like they haven’t in decades. Festhaus Facts The glockenspiel over the main entrance of Festhaus was made by employees in the Central Shop of Taft Attractions, the creative arm of Taft Broadcasting Company, which owned Kings Island when Festhaus was built. There are five fiberglass figures, each over four feet tall. Each were in disrepair until recently. Inside Festhaus are the original tables handcrafted by David T. Smith (and his staff), who still operates a workshop in Morrow, Ohio today. The Verdin Company provided both the original Festhaus clock in 1982 as well as the new clock which will debut at the beginning of the 2019 season. Personally i have very little memories of this working in the park but i am excited to see it come back to life!
