  1. I've heard the stickers were placed to cover-up a misspelling, probably phenomenon. Although occurrence is still misspelled at the top of the sign. And regarding the front-of-line passes, they take them up the exit? That sounds like a nightmare for employees, having to save a row each time a guest comes up, versus allowing the passes through Fast Lane.
  2. Including Oktoberfest, Viking Fury is still a family ride. It's also the lowest height requirement in the area - 40", compared to Congo Falls' 46" (or Drop Tower's, Adventure Express', and Flight Deck's 48"). If they added any new rides in the area, then some more family friendly ones would be perfect. That, or lower some height requirements - Adventure Express had a 44" height requirement, without seatbelts, for over a decade before being raised a few years ago.
  3. About time. I'm amazed this park didn't die back in the 1990s when Kings Island continually expanded their Water Works section and am astounded that The Beach somehow managed to survive another decade. I visited The Beach every few years and found a lot to be desired. The atmosphere was very carny, prices were outrageously high, and the selection of attractions was severely lacking. Some rides, like Aztec Adventure and Hidden Rapids, were unique and fun, but the majority were dull and uninteresting body slides without anything to distinguish themselves from one another. Emerald Bay (a collection of nets, monkey bars, etc. over a pool of water) was also a nifty attraction, but still nothing compared to Kings Island's and its abundance of offerings. I foresee this park suffering an identical fate to the late Surf Cincinnati, where it sits abandoned for many years before the land is eventually bought and an uninteresting project (office building, church, etc.) is constructed. I also doubt any of the slides will find new life elsewhere (including the ones which had sit in pieces in a field on park property for several years, having never been assembled).
  4. ^Oh the irony, critiquing the education system, yet misspelling "ridiculous" Joking aside, valid point - a quick visit to any Facebook page exposes just how ignorant and uninformed some of the posts are. Makes you shake your head and question humanity's future.
  5. Courtesy YourOpenBook.org (if you ever want to find some truly concerning facebook statuses about theme parks or anything in general, give it a visit): --- [POV of Son of Beast, post-loop] "found my new wooden roller coaster to ride this summer.)))))))" Five minutes later, new post. [POV of Son of Beast, with loop] "same ride..only they added a loop!!!!!!!!damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn:))))))))" --- I'm kinda curious how he missed the video description ("Son of Beast before the loop was removed...") and the array of comments about the accidents and modifications.
  6. the ghost, did you ever experience Alien Encounter for yourself? Because the title "one of the scariest rides ever" is far from the truth and an overwhelming overstatement. It's Tough to Be a Bug, with its over-sized cascading spiders and attacking hornets, is far scarier than anything Alien Encounter could manage. To keep the conversation on DHS and not MK and Alien Encounter, I could definitely see an alien-themed ride at the park in the next decade. Not themed to Prometheus though, but instead John Carter (and, therefore, probably a lot less frightening). Oh, and just a side note regarding Alien Encounter, if you watch a POV on YouTube or elsewhere, you will hear screaming. Lots and lots of screaming. Lots and lots of pre-recorded screaming. Don't let that fool you into thinking it was any more frightening than it truly was.
  7. It's simplistic, but that's what (in my opinion) makes for a nicer design. Besides, you want visitors to focus on the videos, links, and text below the cover, not the cover itself. The cover's only there as a reconfirmation as to what page they clicked on. I know you also said you'd prefer to avoid the photo being solely coaster(s), but in my defense, the majority of your target audience is probably a collection of coaster enthusiasts. Although their interests probably also include theme parks, thrill rides, etc., coasters are their primary hobby. Just my opinions, anyhow.
