I will not be going if I have to wear a mask. That or loose it somewhere after I get in.

Where did you learn math? The number of total deaths each one has is not the death rate. More people will have this virus than the flu bug likely so obviously more people will die in total. That does not mean it is more deadly, just that it is more contagious

There have been many factors that have been proven wrong or missing to come up with your 5.6%. You are not know to know for at least another year but the death rate is going WAY down as more information is gathered.

I did not say that our precautions have not contributed to not getting it. I am talking about the death rate. There are NO precautions that will affect the death rate because that is only figured from people that got it. These are two completely different things. If 100 people got it or 1,000,000 people got it, the death rate will be the same low number after this is done. No reason to not take personal precautions to not get it at all. I don't want it either. Just no need to fear the death rate unless you have a condition that puts you at higher risk.

I know I am ready for it to open. The more and more information coming out, this has been WAY overblown. I would be willing to bet my season passes that after this is all said and done, maybe another year roughly, we will see the death rate here in the US will be right close to the same amount as the flu bug and very likely less. It is for sure more contagious and obviously nobody wants sick in any way but it is not looking like the killer we were told it was.

I bought them in 1987. Never used them at all. The bumper sticker has the end curled up a little but is still not hurt really. I have buttons also from the same year for The Vortex and White Water

I feel sad!

There is far more dangers involved with all this than the virus. There is far to much bad information out there that has a bad agenda. People need to back off the one sided thought because we have a mutual enemy and more than just the virus. Large amounts of the bad information is being started in other countries that don't like us. They know it will form a wedge between people here.

Only recommendations, not that you have to. Wearing a mask in public is to protect others and not necessarily yourself

Not sure who said that but height is really a non issue as far as capability goes. They can go as high as they want with a chain but it may be less money with other options. Just need an electric motor large enough to run it and you can get electric motors large enough to turn a chain as high as you could make a structure.

I tried to find this is a search but can't. With a gold pass, are there only certain days you can bring a friend or is it any day? Is it only 4 friends one time per pass for the entire year? I would assume you can't bring a friend as many times as you want for $19.99? Just like a little more information on how this works.

Sad to see it closing up. I am only 2.5 hours from there but only ever been one time. I sure wish now that I would have went last year because of the nostalgia of the place. I was at a car club gathering in the front lot 2 years ago but didn't even go in.

I agree with others that I really loved SOB and got to ride it in all forms. That said, I am very pleased with Banshee

I think I must be the only one that did not like this ride and was glad to see it go. I would take Delirium any day over KC. I was on it many times even though I did not like it. I always liked the front seat the best on it just because the best view.

The red Racer put the hurts on me this year. Only rode it one time. I wanted to try the blue Racer but every time I was close to it, the blue one was not running.

We got our kids Kings Island Gold passes for Christmas and I am not very creative. Do I just give them in a gift card tin or does someone have a fun idea of how to wrap them?

Thanks. I did not see that

Does anyone know what the fee is to rent an ECV at Kings Island? We got Gold passes for next year and just found out that my wife has to have major back surgery in January. She will be on her feet by then but will not be able to walk more than a mile from what we are told. She does not ride any rides but still likes to go along with us around the park. I looked on the Kings Island site but only see limited information about it. Also wondering how far around the park it will go? Do the batteries last long enough to make it around the far end of the park and back one time or two times or? Any information or experience you have with this would be great!

I have enjoyed roller coasters since I was roughly 8 years old, (early 80's) and never really got excited about the latest and greatest. I just rode the next one on my yearly trip to KI. Only one I was crazy excited about was the original Bat but I was not tall enough to ride it before it was shut down. For some reason, this one has really gotten me going. I am so excited to ride it that I am going crazy. I averaged one trip to KI every other to every 3rd year but for the first time we got season passes for 2020. It is $50 in gas to get there and back each trip and I think we will be spending lots of gas money this year. May have to say in a nearby hotel a couple times. This thing looks incredible! I am not an engineer but do have experience with FMX riding on 150+ foot jumps. It sure looks to me that it will have some crazy air time.

Google Earth shows right where DB highest point is roughly 749 feet and Orion is roughly 746 so it is nearly the same. Now, the bottom of Orion's hill is for sure lower elevation than DB. Looks like roughly 717 feet around the bottom of Orion's first drop

I have never really been a fan of this one. It is ok but if it is a busy day I don't bother.

Wow! 136 bolts just attaching the support to the track.

Maybe this has been said but could it be because they are doing a documentary on its construction and don't want people to see? Or maybe they are getting even with people for digging up the plans before the announcement, lol. Just kidding

Hope they fix it quick!

Does anyone know roughly how much the train would weigh empty? Are there other trains close enough to this one that would give an idea of the weight?
