    Hurricane was my absolute favorite ride that they had at my county fair when I was a kid, a ride they have not had, as I remember, for the last 20 or so years (old age is rough some times.)

     

    Is that the one with the boats?

    Big Coasters In Future?

    I remember Diamondback is supposed to be the "tallest, fastest, meanest coaster to ever strike Kings Island." Does that rule out the possibility of the beloved giga-coaster?

    What comes to mind:

    Line Jumping prevention method

    I'm curious to know, if someone, let's say, get's out of after getting the pass, would the person who's card was out of order due to that person getting out of line be turned away? I think this is a pretty clever idea, but it will have to be fixed before they can use it.

    DCI Show PTR- University of Akron - 6/21/14

    Ah, the Bluecoats. After listening to them for what seemed like them playing the same thing, over and over again, for three months, it's amazing that it sounds so amazing put together. To be honest, listening to either the xylophones or marimba's (I don't know which one) for awhile can get quite annoying. They play the same scale, over, and over, and over again!

    Anyways, nice PTR, enjoyed reading/looking at it.

    EDIT: After looking through your pictures with the ramps for the Bluecoats, did any of the people on the ramps ever have rifles? I remember seeing them practice and there were people standing on the ramps with rifles.

    How intense is Delirium?

    in Kings Island

    Posted

    Delirium was not nearly intense as I thought it was going to be. I rode it first last year, and I was terrified. However, to my surprise, when you are facing the ground, it does not feel like your going to fall out. As Thrill_Biscuit said, it produces a little bit of that "tickle" in your stomach. You barely feel the spinning, it just provides a nice change of scenery. I see that you are not afraid of coasters, then you will definitely be fine on this. :) Hope this helps! Enjoy your ride! :)

    Shoot glasses? I've never heard of shoot glasses :P

    Just curious, did they sell a lot of merchandise for Flight Deck?

    Action Zone and X-Base join?

    in Coming Attractions

    Posted

    I don't think that X-Base and Action Zone could join, due to Banshee being in the way. But asides from that, putting in a ride (or more) in between X-Base and Action Zone would be tricky due to the military theme of X-Base and the haunted/action(?) theme of Action Zone. It would be quite hard to find a theme that fits in between each one.

    Design a ride for Kings Island.

    I would design a B&M Floorless with 7 or 8 inversions. Has a 165ft drop and goes around 70 mph

    Something actually realistic?! Nah, I want a nine-minute wing-rider in X-base.

    KI PTR 6/9/14

    in Trip Reports

    Posted

    So fanofFirehawk arrived at the park about 10-15 minutes before opening. By the time we were at the gate, it was about five minutes till rope drop. The first ride we went on was Banshee, and all I can say is, "WOW!" I honestly liked everything about this ride. Other than the restraints. The vest pushed into my collar bone. I could feel the restraint getting tighter at the bottom of the drop. Now, onto the actual ride experience. To start this off, I really liked the queue. I really liked the theming and the graves (especially the O'terpy one! :)) and I thought that they were a nice touch. The station was nice, not exactly something special. We were assigned to row 5. I really liked that first drop, I enjoyed that twist. The dive loop is cool, it provides a nice view of Action Zone. The loop isn't anything special, but it was cool how it went around the lift hill. My favorite part of the ride was the zero-g roll. I really liked that drop down into the valley. My second favorite element of Banshee was the inline twist. (Incase you can't tell, I like twists :)) The ride crews were doing quite nice today, usually it was one in the station, one on the lift, and one on the brake run.

    Favorite part! If only I had pressed the camera button quicker… :wacko:

    Honestly, I'll have to ride Banshee some more before I can give it a rating… maybe ride it in some other rows! :P If only we hadn't been assigned to Row 5 both times...

    Cliché picture! :)

    After Banshee we rode Diamondback. Great ride as usual, rode it on the inside seats on the second to last car. After Diamondback we rode KI&MVRR. Fine ride, provides great views of Diamondback.

    What a view! :)

    After Diamondback, we rode Congo. Not too wet in the back row in the splash, but the fountains got us soaked. Then we headed over to WindSeeker. First time on that ride, quite fun. I really enjoyed the view. However, it did make my nice wet feet from Congo Falls even colder :). Then, we headed out into the parking lot for lunch. After lunch, we rode Boo Blasters on Boo Hill and got a score of 800 something. My sister claims to have gotten 1,600 but I don't believe her :). Then, we rode WindSeeker again and then Banshee one more time. We were assigned to row 5 again. After Banshee, we rode Delirium. Better ride than I remember it being. We then headed over towards X-Base and rode Firehawk. Fun ride, enjoyed it. After Firehawk we headed over to Diamondback for our final ride of the day. Good ride as usual, we rode it on the inside seats in the back car. Nice airtime!

    What's the longest you've ever waited for an attraction at KI?

    in Kings Island

    Posted

    I think the longest I've ever waited was 3 hours for Gatekeeper. That was really unpleasant, because I was already there for a somewhat limited amount of time and had already spent a majority of the day waiting for just that one ride. I like Gatekeeper, but I wouldn't wait any longer than 30-45 minutes for it.

    Last time I checked Gatekeeper wasn't at Kings Island.
