Oh, so it is getting the new Vekoma trains (as seen on Sidewinder at Hershey from what Six Flags describes them).

As Terp says why would the park care. You never see the park comment on threads like this. They have your money. I will give the park one more weekend to fix things before I start complaining non stop to them and make a don't waste your money phone call to WCPO....

Call Buddy LaRosa and Skyline whilst your at it.

I don't even want to think of how a 'Decoding Terpy' thread would go.
Though, I think it would end up with anyone involved with said thread going to Putz's.

This entire page is pretty much a testament to why I wait until June at the earliest to make a trip to Sandusky.

I don't think the fog wouldn't exactly fit now because it was meant to simulate the steam that comes from the catapult for a carrier launching aircraft.

a Sometimes it is best to remain silent and let people think you are a fool than to start posting utter nonsense and remove all doubt.
b. Some are pure trolls, trying to elicit a reaction by whatever means necessary. Probably best to ignore them, however hard that may be.
c. That which is occurring in the park will intensify as the answer clearly reveals itself--some will be in utter shock and surprise--others will not. And the park will be pleased. At least it hopes so.
Try being a psych major reading this thread. Some of the leaps of individual logic in some people astound me.
All I'll say about the clues is this- most clues that KI PR has put out in the past has been quite literal, nothing that needed to be super encrypted or over interpreted.

^Partially true, but Vekoma looks like they took Arrow's track designs and smoothened them out (like on Vekoma's clones of Carolina Cyclone). I'm not sure the new Vekoma stock can take and/or the forces on riders would be different on the sharper corners and transitions on Arrows.
-
^Phantom's Revenge technically did, but it also had ~80% redesigned by Morgan.
I can't think of an Arrow looper that has had it done. I know Vekoma has been outfitting their own designs (both Boomerangs and full circuit looping coasters) with new trains, but they have slightly different designs so they may not work on Arrows. The only 2 Arrow coasters that had slightly different sit down train designs are Canyon Blaster in Vegas and BGW's Drachen Fire.

Valravn has the newer style B&M restraints as seen on Gatekeeper and Banshee.

^Indeed. S&S, who absorbed Arrow, still makes parts for Arrow coasters. I also imagine Vekoma would be an option considering how similar a lot of their rides are to Arrow's.
Don't be so sure of that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bad_Wolf_%28roller_coaster%29
Big Bad Wolf is an Arrow suspended roller coaster, and it was closed because it could no longer be maintained.
And I can think of a couple dozen Arrow coasters older and sometimes bigger than BBW that are still running.
Just sayin'.

I have a few questions concerning the neighborhood around KK and how to approach it. Should I be hiding valuables inside my car? Also, if I choose to go on one of their 9 pm closings, should I be leaving prior to that?

Blackout is a Halloween Haunt maze, which is specially open for tomorrow's gold pass ERT event.
Photography isn't allowed inside any Haunt maze, but here's an exclusive picture of what it looks like inside. (Guests are instructed to hold onto a rope & keep one hand on the wall)
And not follow Goble.

^That's in Germany. I'm probably not going over seas anytime soon.
Also, its Expedition Ge-Force at Holiday Park.

I have a few questions regarding Kentucky Kingdom.
On the issue of the neighborhood, should I treat it like a trip to Clifton and hide all the valuables in the car? Also, on the days they close at 9 (if I choose one of those dates), should I be making my way out of there prior to that?
I'm thinking of a mid-June visit. I'll definitely be going with the out-of-state ticket discount.

Paying the difference also includes the extra amount if you got the pass at a discount (like they do at P&G Day). A few years ago, I renewed during that day for only $70, but I had to fork over the extra $120 or so to get to platinum.

How reliable has RMC been?
There was an ejection on New Texas Giant and Lightning Rod at Dollywood is having delays in opening.
Texas Giant is the only real issue.
Lightning Rod is due to the fact that they're putting new technology onto something wooden. Launched lift on a wooden coaster has never been done before. They want to make sure it's done properly.
Maverick has a launched lift hill. The fact that its wood (or rather, steel, IMO) shouldn't be an issue. The technology has been around for decades now (and has in fact been added to many wooden coasters in the form of magnetic brakes). Strapping LIMs/LSM's to any coaster shouldn't be that much of an issue anymore. B&M just did it for the first time to their newest model and it opened on time.
As for NTAG, RMC was in as much in a position as Gerstlauer to make sure it shouldn't of had an ejection and didn't.

Kings Island (and the other CF parks) should put up the menus of each stand as well.

Yeah...I don't get these thoughts on stuff going in X-Base or Action Zone when the Rivertown shenanigans are kind of where all the diversions are at.
Also, to those dismissing a giga so soon, lest we forget the already cleared area between Rivertown and Soak City along the train route. Perhaps they might take a page from Cedar Point a la Magnum XL-200 and run a giga by the water park. I'm not saying it'll absolutely be a giga, but its not completely out of the question either.
Also, don't give me this crap about a woodie being too close to Beast or a giga too close to Diamondback. I'm not buying it for a second. Whatever the park has in mind, they're gonna do it.

There is something I want to bring up about this staying on topic. While it should be important to do so, its also nice to have some bits of site chemistry every once in a while. There's only so much you can get out of looking at newly overturned dirt. Until we see more significant clues, the thread is going to have some dull moments. The off-topic bits are just the site being, well, us. Its part of what makes threads like this enjoyable (at least for me, a reason I often re-read the 2014 version).
So, to new members- just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees
in Kings Island

Or, you know, a coaster that's not a giga, or something not a coaster at all.
