    @Oldschool75, would such a project require some documentation with the City of Mason or Warren County? I know just surveying probably does not require anything as of now.

    City of Mason and Warren County don't always have all documents online. Sometimes preliminary approval is given without paperwork officially submitted, and later filed when the project is commencing.

  2. Some more marking showing up on the edge of old Columbia road. Some are for excavation and gas line relocation. Judging by where previous markers were seen during Covid and removed I’m thinking we are seeing the beginning of an new and updated front gate area.

  3. Also a 28% increase in in-park per capita spending. Very good news. Hopefully the rest of the season is good for the chain as well.

    I would say most of that is Kings Island judging by all the 50th gear I’ve seen everyone wearing at the park. Heck, I’ve spent $200 on stuff this year so far. That’s more than I’ve spent in the last 15 years total.

  4. It's looked like this for a number of years.
    They typical store bike racks in this location for parking lot events. (Robbie Knievel, walking/running events, Haunt, etc)

    I guess the trees shrunk in height. Especially since you can see Congo Falls loading station now from the parking lot. 98dd111a474775de8353b3ce068b7d25.jpg

  5. That is new track steel there. They have been replacing sections of track. The ride went down again today when I was there at 4pm. We were next in line and they just shut it down.

    Honestly I get what they are trying to do here but it seems unfair to those of you that scheduled around trying to be the first to see the show on Saturday.

    I’m playing the world’s smallest violin for you.

  7. I had a terrific time at CS - as always.  It really is a top-tier event.  IMO it far surpasses other events - due to the comradery.  It succeeds in prompting bonding among attendees on a more friendly level.
    As far as no posts on KIC  - the fact the event was jam packed probably had something to do with it.  I’m exhausted today! (That’s always the sign of a great coaster event.)
    Also, as a side note, it seems to me that soooooo many enthusiasts have a personal page, or site, or blog, or Instagram, or Twitter etc.  Too many garnering for their own likes, clicks etc.  So although there’s probably still demand for central hub of info like KIC, people with their own outlets/agendas likely save posts/pics for that. I don’t really “get” the influencer stuff - but there’s that too I suppose.
    I personally made a concentrated effort to simply enjoy CS this year rather than trying to photo-document every single second for myself.  Makes a big difference when you just soak up the experience.  
    It really was a great time.  Looking forward to next year!  Kudos to Don and the KI team.  The hard work shows!
     
     

    We had a great time. It was great to hang out and enjoy CS with you. Can’t wait to do it again. Maybe next year the race can happen.

    Just caught this and dont know if anybody noticed it, but at the end Barry says "Give me a moment I have to go find those blueprints". Could this be the start of something big, or just Kings Island messing with us? And if it is something, someone should go check mason city hall and see if there are any public documents/blueprints available ;)

    I'm guessing you've never seen the Cincinnati Kids episode of the Brady Bunch?

  9. It could be whatever they needed to get the ride back up was unattainable, and after a while gave up on it. 

    Like from the company that produces parts who is about to get sued into oblivion.
