  1. Don and Greg have really been great providing all of this for us! Now my 1 suggestion for Don is if that last section is a pull down, put a gopro cam on the top or inside a 55 gal half barrel in the fall zone catching it falling on top of it.

    I doubt, in its current state, if the remaining structure is allowed to be inhabited.

  2. i don't see it

    MASON, Ohio – An Ohio amusement park is set to open its version of "Jurassic Park" featuring life-sized, animatronic dinosaurs that move and make sounds.

    The "Dinosaurs Alive!" attraction at Kings Island will have its grand opening Thursday, days after one of the 60 dinosaurs caught fire.

    Kings Island spokesman Don Helbig says no one was hurt in the fire Tuesday night that was confined to just one of the dinosaurs. Helbig says the cause of the fire that broke out during construction was not clear.

    Billowing smoke was captured on video by people traveling on Interstate 71, alongside the park north of Cincinnati.

    The park bills the attraction as an opportunity for visitors to step back in time to periods 245 million to 65 million years ago.

    Kings Island public relations manager Don Helbig said the fire occurred around 8:40 p.m. during construction of the largest animatronic dinosaur in the exhibit, the Ruyang Yellow River dinosaur, which measures 72 feet long, 12 feet wide and 38 feet high.

  3. Last time I was at KI during halloween, I rode SOB lots of times, actually had a better ride on SOB than Vortex, Beast.

    It's a sad day when you get a more enjoyable ride on SOB than on Vortex.

  4. Wasn't the launch area over by FoF. The area that is now cleared for something that maybe x-flight, but might not be, just might be a coincidence that it is laying in the parking lot???

    Here's what I'm thinking. Enclose the initial drop and the area circled in black in a tunnel with enclosed (tunnelated) airtime hills on the return track. The first drop into a tunnel would throw back to The Beast. I know you can't push track, but rebuild the track labeled PUSH so that it lines up the two red dots.

    I think that would work. :)

  6. Just one that is taken out of context, or that someone who hit the send button faster than me has taken offense to.

    Neither one is right. Carry on.

    You may want to establish yourself here before you start telling people what is right or wrong and telling people what to do and insulting people. You'll find we're all pretty nice here at PKICentral, but from your two posts so far, it appears your attitude is more suited to PointBuzz.

    I'll see what pointbuzz has to offer as well. I have never been to Cedar Point before, so maybe I can learn about it in the off-season in preparation for Spring.

    Thanks for the info.:)

  7. Still waiting for some proof, just not some jr high speculation.

    Not a great first post.
