The smell is from a fire retardant that they spray on the walls and such so in case if a fire breaks out the entire thing won't go up in mass flames. It is horrible until it gets aired out... I remember when I worked in Carnevil that it was horrible smelling throughout because of the stuff. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I'm honestly kinda surprised that they would announce that so far in advance.... A full year and. Half before it actually happens. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk -

Decoding Episode 2.5: BONUS ROUND! Second Announcement!
thatbandguy8807 replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
Thank you Bruce..... I wasn't sure if I heard it correctly or not. I haven't had a chance to watch the full announcement yet since I don't have Internet at home (sad I know). I have seen a lot of negative remarks about this ride already but I've also seen some positive ones... As I have said before I'm happy and excited for it even though I won't end up riding the ride for one main reason..... It will help make the other lines shorter for the rides I do ride. I am still very excited to see what the other announcement will be. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk -
Decoding Episode 2.5: BONUS ROUND! Second Announcement!

I found it interesting that Greg said that they would announce the second attraction once all of the details are finalized... I don't remember if he actually used the word attraction or not for the second announcement as I only quickly watched a video of the announcement while on my lunch break at work. Either way it surprised me that there are two new things for next year... Hopefully the second announcement isn't just them saying they are revamping an area of the park that needs it and it's actually something exciting. Maybe it will be our new dark ride coming? One could hope the only reason why I still ride boo blasters is because it's indoors and it's one of the only rides my wife can still ride. At first I thought it could be an announcement for haunt or something like that but then remembered this is for next season not the end of this season. Maybe a new restaurant up in the IR area? Guess we shall see in a few weeks I for one am excited about what all has been said so far even though I can't ride the new coaster. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk -
You're welcome and yeah if they love it then you can get right back in line with hardly a wait. It's a great time and I feel like more relaxing with 12:00 closings Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

You should be able to fit on Adventure Express, Bat and Vortex with no problems. Those rides are very accommodating and are made by the same company. As others have said some of the bigger rides have test seats that you can try. I know when I used to work there we would let guests come up the exit and try to see if they could fit in the seat before getting in line as someone else has said. Hope you have an awesome day at the park and as Magenta said if there is something you don't fit on don'tet it ruin your day. A lot of fun can still be had Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

They still shoot them off at 10:00 yes... And the best part about it is after the fireworks the last two hours are dead in the park because most ppl don't realize the park is still open. Makes for great night rides with very short to no lines at all... I had a ride one sat night where I was literally the only one on the entire train riding Bat. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees
thatbandguy8807 replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
I really wish I could be there tonight but I have to work... I can't wait to see the info on my first break around 12:00 am... Hopefully someone will have uploaded the entire announcement by then or by 2:30 am so I can watch it during my lunch break tonight.... I'm very excited about this announcement even though I can't ride wooden coasters and will never ride this ride most likely. 13 hrs until the reveal.... And with that note I think I'm headed to bed soon. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk -

Wow a lot has happened in this thread since the last time I checked it, both good and bad.... I as well don't really see the "hidden numbers and letters". As far as the guessing on the stats, my guess would be something like this... Height:120 Lenghth: between 3,200-3,500 ft. Speed: 64-65 mph? Drop: between 100-110ft. Not really sure on any of it though. Just my guess, I'm sure I don't know as much as others with this since wooden coasters don't really interest me (yay back problems) however I am excited regardless of it being a wooden coaster. Just means a possibility of other lines being a little smaller for the things I do ride, not to mention this coaster might be nice to look at (what we will be able to see of it anyways). I just wish I could make it to the announcement but I work third shift so I will be starting work as the announcement starts someone please record it and post it somewhere so I can watch it later on at some point so I can feel like I was there Last part of my post I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to go take the pics and post them here. It makes me excited to see the progress that has been going on. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk -

Honestly for me I've never cared for TPR.... Buy my reason is I just find Rob to be annoying in most of his videos. Usually when I see one of their videos on YouTube I roll my eyes and keep scrolling trying to find someone else who posted the same content that I am looking for Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk- 9724 replies

If this really is a wooden coaster which it looks like it is, I for one am not disappointed or upset even though I don't ride wooden coasters (mainly because I can't ride them due to back problems) .... To me that just means that there is a possibility of smaller lines on the coasters that I do ride whatever addition ki adds I'm always happy because think about it.... We are actually lucky to get something new almost every year....even though I won't ride it I will still enjoy that it is at the park because I like to people watch as well... I do agree I feel like ki needs a newer up to date wooden coaster and I feel like this will make many wooden coaster enthusiasts happy. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk -

I do have to admit, I really did not think this was going to be a coaster at all but while I have been sitting back and just reading for the longest time I might have to start leaning towards team coaster..... I have been wanting KI to get a giga for so long but figured it would be a lite longer before we would be getting one. No I'm not saying I know it's a giga because I don't at all. I'm definitely going to have to look at all of the clearing when I go Friday since I have only been to the park twice so far this year. I'm starting to get really excited with what is going on.

Kings Island Band Organ Work 2016 (Updated 7/14/16)
thatbandguy8807 replied to hosscat's topic in Kings Island
I remember freaking out last July when I heard it actually working. It about brought a tear to my Eyes. This excites me and I cannot express how much all of us are thankful for what you are doing. I have a home video from a ki trip back in '92 that my parents made and I watch it sometimes just to hear the organ play. I cannot wait to hear it progress and get better and better throughout the season/seasons to come Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk -
I look at the balcony every time as well.... Glad I'm not the only one Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I really don't think it's a coaster. I don't know why buy I feel like it's some sort of water ride going in. I just can't see a coaster in that area with WWC, KI&MVRR, Picnic Grove and RFYLCB all being in that one spot... Plus the reservoirs for WWC being in that area as well. I know I there is quite a lot of space there but I just can't see it... Unless they get rid of Picnic Grove all together. Only time will tell..... Who knows maybe we are getting Shoot The Rapids from CP .... Yes I am clearly joking about that last part and know that is not a possibility.... Nor would I want that ride at KI.

^ Yeah at least boo blasters line kept moving at a nice pace.... Gotta give them that lol Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I rode it and most of everything did not work at all.... At least in the car we rode in the blasters worked but over half of the targets didn't work and most of the props were broken and didn't move..... They didn't seem to give the ride any attention during the off season Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I hope everyone who is going tonight has an awesome time. I cant wait till tomorrow even though I won't get there until probably 3 or 4pm.....that wonderful time of year is finally here again.... Warmer weather, ki opens up, rain instead of snow...... Love this time of year lol. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I like boo blasters and have quite a bit of fun on the ride but I would honestly like to see a new dark ride. I feel like even when they do repair the props and blasters it doesn't take long for them to break again. There are times when I have ridden the ride where hardly anything is working at all. I would love a new dark ride but honestly I'd rather not have a shooting dark ride if we ever get a new one. We could hope that they have fixed all of the props and blasters for this season but I just have a feeling that that's not the case. While I'd like a new dark ride I honestly hope this one doesn't end up closing mid way through the season if a new ride is going to replace it. This is one ride my wife and I can ride together since she has gotten to the point where she gets sick while riding most of the rides at ki. If they were to close this one early that's one less ride we could ride together. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
