  1. Storm delays coaster rollout

    By Kevin Aldridge

    The Cincinnati Enquirer Media and special guests expecting to catch a sneak peek at Paramount's Kings Island's Son of Beast today will have to stay in suspense for a little longer.

    Park officials on Monday canceled a special preview scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today for the much-anticipated looping wooden roller coaster.

    A bolt of lightning hit near the ride Thursday.

    “The lightning caused a voltage surge that affected the computer system that operates the ride's chain-lift mechanism,” said park spokesman Jeffrey Siebert.

    Mr. Siebert said that testing is likely to continue through Wednesday. The ride is still expected to open to the general public at 5 p.m. Friday.

  2. I took pictures of everything that I installed back in 06 a few weeks ago! :lol:

    are you going to help with this re-theme, if so can you take pictures during the offseason for us?

    yes!!! i want to see LOTS of Off Season photos in this area!

    I really hope thats a possibility :lol:

  3. Kings Island isnt known for the most unique things.

    :blink:

    world's tallest wooden coaster

    world's first successfully looping wooden coaster

    world's longest wooden coaster

    world's first inverted family coaster

    world's first coaster to have six inversions

    world's first lim launch coaster

    world's tallest gyro drop

    world's best kids area for 9 years running

    world's first giant top spin

    world's first giant frisbee

    you're right they arn't know for many unique things.

    EDIT: i forgot about Diamondback being the first hyper coaster with a splashdown,

    there are most likely alot more that i have forgotten, feel free to add.

    i stand corrected! :lol:
