Kings Island - New Rides and Areas - Mason, OH - What's in the Shed?!

I’m the ride operator that was in the drive box lol I made sure to give you the tree monster as that is most people’s favorite ending! It’s random but we can choose the ending if we want to!

[@vandy0419]

I figured it was randomized, but now I know! Seems like tree is the most common. I like the snake because the build up to it.

[@skippermatt7939]

So there's the tree, the bats, and the serpent, what else is there? And is it the same song each time? Thanks

This has been a wonderful journey. I'm unable to travel anymore but used to love to go to Kings Island. It was so exciting to see the Scrambler and the Viking Boat!! It brought back good memories of my brother and I running around the park in the 70s and 80s. Thank you for such a good time!!

[@Bsquare042]

I was watching Jacob fail repeatedly at blasting people on the rapids ride, and I was thinking about why I enjoy his videos so much. So many travel and theme park vloggers want to create a dynamic experience with their videos. Quick edits, editing to music, perhaps playing some sort of character, or inserting fancy video effects. Jacob, however, is having none of that. You see what he sees, as he sees it, in a very matter of fact, you-are-there way that is refreshingly free of ego. Here is Jacob parking his car. Here is Jacob riding a rollercoaster. Here is Jacob watching a show. Here is Jacob eating chili. Here is Jacob failing to drench these poor people on that rapids ride. All presented with the exact same emphasis, or lack thereof, exactly as it would be if you were actually just hanging out at Kings Island with Jacob. While many go for a whiz bang video experience, Jacobs videos, even at their most frantic, have an almost pastoral quality to them that I really respond to. I feel like Im rambling now. But you get the idea. TLDR: Carpetbagger vids are pretty darn ok.

[@poeridley5942]

Great synopsis of his videos, and an awesome review. Love the way you write, haha.

The story is that "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was created for a vampire movie that was never made. If you watch the official video, you see that it really leans into that imagery. So it makes total sense to use it in a spooky setting.

There was a place I worked that had an extremely out of focus camera trained on the front door (I was in maintenance and they wanted a tech, not me, to work on it). Anyway, my work day would begin at 5:30 AM. Even though I had a key card to get in I would press the access button. Security would answer and in a very exaggerated Spanish accent, I would say "My name is Sancho Ponza and I am lost and looking for my very good and trusted friend Don Quijote. Have you seen him?" Several seconds later a very startled security guard would answer "no" and apologize. I told them I would keep looking. Two months later the camera was finally fixed and I didn't know. When I pulled my morning ritual the security guard asked "Ernie, is that you?" When I passed the security station three of the guards were laughing uncontrollably.

As a resident of topeka kansas , I personally would love to see you go to Worlds of Fun. Cause it's been forever since I've been. It would be nice to see how it's changed cause I'll probably never be able to go back again. I know at 1 point they tour down the Zambezi Zinger and put something else there. And recently I guess they tore that down and rebuilt a new Zambezi Zinger, or so i heard. I would love to ride that, the original was one of my favorites, but that probably will never happen. Hope you get that way. While I'm here, Don't. Waste time explaining yourself, if someone doesn't get it, So be it, keep doing what makes you happy n truckin along

[@melissalarocque6309]

I also love skyline chili. The secret ingredients are chocolate (or cocoa powder) and allspice. The allspice gives a combination flavor of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. I make it homemade and add extra cinnamon and cloves. But that's just my personal preference.
