  1. I went to Kings Island with my family yesterday and figured I'd share here!! I'm sorry, I'm not the best at these!! We had a great day at the park. 20230930_111551.jpg20230930_111551.jpg20230930_145938.jpgRIP Vortex.

  2. The goddess is still there!??!?!?!  Holy crap!!! I wonder what else remains. 

     

    How do I get into hallotween and when is it? I have a niece who would love to do an event like that so this is a perfect chance for her to go to the Halloween Haunt, and for me to get to see the inside of the building.  I'd love to see the rest of the queue too if thats doable. Tomb raider the ride has had me intrigued for a very long time.

  3. I wish I could go through with a flashlight or a headlamp. I honestly just want to see the remains of one of the greatest defunct rides ever built. 

     

    I've also been curious for years, how in the absolute heck did they manage to get that ride out of the building? Like, how?! I know the building has a garage door on the side of it, but I'm just unsure how the would have gotten that thing out after demolishing it without destroying the whole building. 

     

    Also, aren't there a few seats left over off the ride in FOF's building?

     

    I'd give ANYTHING for one of those seats.  TR: TR and The Crypt has intrigued me for years.

  4. Kings Island is gearing up for its 2023 haunt season. I'm pretty sure, if I'm correct, they use the former home of TR: TR as a haunt. 

     

    I'm curious, does the haunt go into the ride chamber, all the way through the building? And can I go through with a no-boo bracelet? I honestly just want to see the remains of The Crypt/TR: TR.  Is this allowed? 

     

    Thank you! :lol:

  5. From what I've heard from a few sources, the cars or train parts from the original 1983 Bat were stored in crates underneath Vortex's station. I've read they were scrapped around 2006. Is this true? What was stored under there? Does anyone here have any photos of them? This has intrigued me for years and I'd love a clear awnser finally. Anyone here know if it's true?

  7. He's been extremely rude to me and then tells me I'm lying about owning one. 

     

    If it wasnt for my thread on here, i honestly dont think those would have been sold at all. 

     

    Anyone here with an ebay account, please tell this guy he's crazy. :blink:

     

    P.S:

    My piece is not for sale and NEVER will be. 

  8. Someone on here with an ebay account please message him and tell him thats unrealistic. I tried and failed. Lol. I hope a ton of you all tell him that. Lol.

    This guy is kinda crazy. I had to show this to you all. I've been trying to talk some sense into him for the past few months (this is the 4th time he's done this) telling him thats unrealistically high. And he keeps telling me, "11k is a neccesary asking price due to the items rarity".  Then he cussed me out. 

     

    Someone talk some sense into this guy. Lol.
