Is this a collectors item now?

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.

I must of quoted the wrong post ^^^ We were talking about Beast in this post. thx

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.

Yup, you can see the old queue rail holes in the concrete from the former queue house.

omg Donz! hi

So International Street, has anyone posted about the ongoing updates week to week? These new details on the Spanish building (sweet spot) just showed up last weekend. The new hand painted signage looks amazing, great job KI. Looks like the old sign that use to be in that location.

We jumped into them like any normal person would ha... (it was like 4 feet deep)

In 2014 we had to help in moving all the front gate "KI Kicks Cancer" mini soccer balls to Action Theater to dry once the event was over. Once they all dried out we put them on the bottom level of the theater and had a good time

I just got back from the Magic Kingdom, I want to say the prices for meals were actually cheaper there vs Kings Island. Anyone noticed this? I could be wrong. .... and random note.... I'm pretty sure the Chickfla at Cedar Point is much cheaper then Kings Islands.

Ugly Sky Coaster...... ? You obviously haven’t seen the power of the Omega or the 50 pound suitcase.

Should be a neat ride

Retweet

The old Canada's Wonderland Monster was shipped to KI after it closed to be used for spare parts. Common thing to happen once rides close among the same company.

I feel old, thanks lol

Most of the photos? What about Shows, Aerials, Events, Construction ? Just a suggestions, there should be a link to the old photo gallery on the homepage or even within the history page. https://KICentral.com/rides/Diamondback/ Having to click through a hundred photos isn't very user friendly. Thanks for the link.

Was the old KICentral photo gallery removed? I can't seem to locate it from the home page. :/

I like The Beast.

I believe you're mistaken. It was likely too windy to open WindSeeker on that day. KI never closed rides due to low staffing this previous 2017 season. But yes, apply to work at the park.

Correct, from that left side of the theater. However the motion seats are sitting idle inside the Urgent Scare side of the theater. You can see them if you know where to look when you go through the maze.
