From the look of another Twitter image it looks like it more than just 'bumped'. The folding platform in the station looks to be damaged. Maybe a 10 - 15MPH collision. Still a powerful collision.

I'm all up for themeing, but I hope the execution is better then what Mystic Timbers promised.

If only there were aerial photos!

Pulsar has a rotating station to allow two trains on what is their shuttle water coaster,

Hello BSBMX, The text is illegible. -Captain Nemo

Good afternoon good people. Here are additional photos from yesterdays flight. If there are any areas you want a closer look at please reply to this message and I'll zoom into my raw files I added some different perspectives and some shots of the finished supports at the fabrication plant. Does anyone in shot 7 know what the purple track is? -Captain Nemo (Gabriel)

Here are photos from today's flight over the construction site and the steel fab site. Took at least 400 photos, here are a snippit of them. Enjoy, -Captain Nemo (Gabriel)

If anyone is at the park today I recommend riding Drop Tower. I could clearly see large land clearing. Look between and a bit beyond the batwing and zero g roll of Banshee.

As a technician I can tell you the speakers in the FoF dome have NEVER been swapped out for new ones. That means its the same 25+ year speakers as the day it opened. Im sorry but this speaks volume of negligence, and it's an easy fix to.

Would they be ok with my Tomb Raider: The Ride tattoo on my arm My current employment allows tattoos but are subject to be covered if found inappropriate. Normally all tattoos are appropriate and do not hit taboo subjects. For example I have a tattoo on my arm in remembrance of the Holocaust and is allowable at my professional job. As the country becomes more and more PC I do see additional larger companies allowing tattoos.

And here we find the time Don Helbig first learned how to use Windows Movie Maker. Good riddance... Anyway, glad those Dinos are gone and we can utilize that land for another Windows Movie Maker teaser. GIGA

And the music makes it even better. Oh and some cool guy uploaded all the music from TRTR on YouTube.

What is the main format of the podcast?

Yeah, I saw it. Happy Halloween

You should probably check out FoF in closer detail this season! I wouldn't have posted it if I had not seen it myself.

I'm surprised to hear all this came from a rides employee, I would have expected an actual department in charge of refurbishment to do all this. Goes to show how far you can go with little money. I also heard Mystics Station (which was bare at the start of the season) was also themed by the crew. Again, very surprising to hear the crew did a better job themeing than the actual team hired to do so. Either way, big props!

I wouldn't say putting Santa hats on 1/3 of the animatronics counts as going "All out". My vote is TRTR. While understandably the concept of the ride had to change with the selling of Paramount, I feel Cedar Fair took the cheap route with the retheme (if one can actually call 'Inception' music a theme). The Top Spin was a popular and great addition to the park. Durga (the goddess in the show building) is not intellectual property of Paramount. Durga is a actually Goddess in Hindi religion... No one owns the image, same as razor shard icy stalactites, or a red hot boiling lava pit.

I don't know... I remember the Dinosaurs Alive teaser videos...

I totally understand where you are coming from and completely agree. There has been a shift the past 10 years in preventative / refurbishment maintenance in attractions around the park. I've seen it with Boo Blasters, Adventure Express, and FoF, lest we forget how TRTR/Crypt was managed. The way I see it, it comes down to budget. The park needs to refocus its efforts to revitalizing the attractions. Everything needs refurbishment that much is true but no one especially in this kind of business should blindside their own products deterioration. I've many times suggested to park management the utilization of a website called, Issuetrak. A one stop site for compiling/reporting and assigning proper issues on the corresponding maintenance necessary by assigning a task to a specific group and hold that group responsible until the work is complete. I no longer work with Kings Island so there is unfortunately not much I can push on their table anymore but I continue to share this site and its benefits with current employees. https://www.issuetrak.com/

1) Entertainment upgrade, A new/updated stage theater, Enclose Showplace, upgrade park sound system and speakers (including rides, god knows FOF needs those babies updated those things are 20+ years old) 2) Family ride expansion with Ferris Wheel, Antique Cars, Action Theater and a proper dark ride to replace Boo Blasters 3) 50ft tower platform reopened and following ADA procedure (meaning elevator can stop at level) 4) Accommodations for employees (much like Cedar Points). This will allow for better staffing in the park especially during those early weeks. 5) With Winterfest now back, I would like to see the park open Dec 31 and bring in the New Years with its already amazing light display and Fireworks.

Add air fresheners to Festhaus... For an eatery it smells horrid.

It was called Ronny and Ryan's Nice Sit Down Restaurant... bring that back.

Although today was the last day of the season to see them. Added a found Easter Egg to the Mystic Timbers Section Mystic Timbers Found Easter Eggs Locations: Queue

'Easter egg' As Defined by Websters Dictionary : a hidden feature in a commercially released product If you have ever been to Disney you know they scatter loads of company related content across their parks and attractions, sometimes hidden so well only true fans and enthusiasts find them and understand their meaning. These examples include hidden Mickeys & cross-attraction theming (Matterhorn yeti in Guardians queue). Finding these can be quite the treat! so as you can imagine during my recent trip to Kings Island, I was quite taken back and excited to find these kinds of easter eggs at my former park! I'd like to share these findings with you; however, if you would like to find these yourselves I have put spoiler tags of all the findings. What I will leave unspoiled is the location and the amount of easter eggs found there. Enjoy!
