    Kings Island Prestige Pass

    in Kings Island

    Posted

    It was supposed to go out to a a handful of people, not everyone, if the rumors are true. I don’t think it was ever intended to be mainstream. 
    My thing about that, I got the invitation via email, but my other half did not. We live in same household, so we decided to do the Prestige Plus and I shared my link with him. So don't think the whole idea was thought out completely. I will probably go back to Platinum for 2024.

    Adventure Express Enhanced - What do you want to see?

    They only had 3 trains converted to lap bars, and they only run 2 trains each season. Whatever trains sits out typically goes through rehab then, so they only have one train to rehab during the off season. Since the ride is open during Winterfest I have seen them do a train switch with the train that has already went through its rehab to get a jump start on the other train. Trains 2 and 3 ran during 2022.

    A return of train 3, also would be great to add some more tunnels. I honestly would love to see most of the ride in tunnels and allow it to pop out into the wilderness here and there. 
    They still use train 3 just not all 3 at once. The 3rd train would often set up on lift 2. This year trains 2 and 3 where in operation while train 1 was going through its rehab.

    Backlot Rollback

    in Kings Island

    Posted

    I don’t know if this has affected it but I noticed the launch wasn’t as powerful as it used to be this year. That could just be me though.
    Also you say it happened in the white train? The white train was the one that got dismantled earlier in the year and they shut down the ride for about a week.
    Yes white train.

    Backlot Rollback

    in Kings Island

    Posted


    So after 17 years of riding Backlot, I got to experience something I never have. As we were approaching the top of the helix I knew we were not going to make it over. So I got to experience the helix backward. I must admit that was awesome. So I got a third of a ride lol. After this happened Maintenance had to push us back into the station, and after a few minutes we loaded into the red train and got to ride the entire ride. The rollback happened In the white train, and then when ride reopened they didn't load rows 5 or 6. Has anyone experienced this before?

    Which coaster needs a repaint the most?

    Say what now? The turnarounds weren't ready for opening day but they got them completed over the next couple of weeks.
    Unfortunately they only did the track and handrails. The supports were not done as you can tell if your in line for Hotel St Michelle.
