Ah the homeland...

So I was surfing around the Internet like ya do and I came across the KingsIsland website. Since I had worked there for a couple of summers when I was young. I was interested to see what had remained. So looking over the lists of attractions and some are still the same, but most of it was unfamiliar. Understandable because you change these things so people year in year out think of the "new" stuff as why they go.

I would go for the old stuff and at first glance you'd think I'd be disappointed until I found this. Oh man they can rename stuff, but most of the pathways are the same and even the buildings. Sure Cafe K as we called it which was short for Cafe Kilimanjaro (fuck I can't spell it now, no way I could have spelled it then. Cafe K it is.) was part of the safari themed area. I worked near there at little stands that no longer exist. I remember Cafe K though as the "ohshitdontsendmetherefortheafternoonIwilldie" place.

Festhause is still there which was the place in which on my very first day I got very nearly fired. (Not so interesting or long story. Fuck you're making food and you aren't allowed to taste it? Who knew? On top chef they'd all go home.)

If you look on that map you can even see the employee cafeteria. There was one July 3rd I almost got canned from there. Luckily I knew to "get your stories straight" before going into the area manager's office.

I learned lots of stuff at KI. Shit I was 16 and just learned to drive. Lots of stuff.
