I almost never ride it anymore because of that. I'd love to see them abandon roping people off in the saucer. Micromanaging lines is unnecessary on most rides.
Granted, when the park opens this year, it's possible every line could be super micromanaged for obvious reasons.
Then how would you merge the Fastlane line?

previously shared some early drafts of the demon character... including one with a full body. I cannot find them in his post history, but it was very interesting to see how the concept evolved into the logo they ultimately used.
Think the photo with the 4 car train was during 1977 testing?

Yes that was one of them, there also was an upbeat one.... I'll try looking for it.

Anyone remember in 2011 when the station played another obscure portion of LOST soundtrack?
I want to say it came from season 4?

I appreciate the effort, however navigating through that many albums is kind of ridiculous.
Is there away to sort the albums, similar to the previous gallery?
Not a fan of not being able to see all the image thumbnails per album.

Flight of Fear- hang your unbuckled seatbelt on the metal bar on the side of the train after your ride. (So the next guest won’t sit on it) and if your alone do the same to the restraint next to you.

If anyone wants to donate their pics for a KIC Event Gallery, I would love to put a past event page together on the main site. @Gordon Bombay, @Captain Nemo, @BoddaH1994, @TOPGUN1993
Has the link to the old gallery been included in the current version of Kic yet?
Assuming photos already are these......

The next time you hear a ride op say on the microphone: "Number 5 is Alive" you will know that they are referencing Adventure Express, not a SOB 2.0.
Tell us your thoughts and if you know any more info about Outpost 5. Do you have any old pics of Outpost 5 or the symbol?
The quote “Number 5 is Alive” has no reference to Adventure Express, Son of Beast or even Kings Island.
Simply coaster fans mistakenly connecting dots to something it’s not.

Speaking of that Bat station picture (which is awesome, by the way): how did the post-station, pre-lift transfer track work? In my head, I always imagined The Bat's transfer track being like Vortex's, but that's not what's shown there. And there's such a slope on each track that it makes me feel like that transfer track must have been at a strange angle.
It was different than Vortex for the fact where you would never have to back a train up to get it back on the main line. There was 2 switch tracks (similar to Firehawks switch track) at either end of the station.
That portion of the storage track still has the big "barn doors" on your left just before Vortex photo.

@TOPGUN1993 or @TombraiderTy can correct me if I'm wrong but, I believe behind the exit path fence (where it shifts towards the photo booth), there's a concrete pad where another queue house once stood.
I must of quoted the wrong post ^^^
We were talking about Beast in this post. thx -

Not sure if it existed for Vortex (or just The Bat), but there used to be another set of switchbacks beneath the station. Another thing I should double check with @TombraiderTy, @TOPGUN1993, or @Shaggy.
Not sure if Vortex ever utilized the under station switchbacks.
Bat Construction - Shows the under station queue house (notice how originally you were forced to go all the way to the bottom level before station level.)
Vortex Construction 1987 - Switchbacks appear to be there.
