I was also going to say I wish Firehawk would bring the photos back. Even if its The Vortex funpix only style. I now have a photo from every major coaster EXECPT Firehawk... I MUST have one for my collection lol

I seen on twitter someone saying "I got a free Mystic Timbers souvenir!!!! A huge freakin splinter... thanks KI" LMAO so true...

Thanks lol got it now

I just had an epiphany what if whats in the shed is actually symbolism for the "fallen rides"...

And change the projections or add more. I can only imagine the possibilities for Haunt!

Has anyone got the Mystic Timbers video to work on their funpix? Mine just shows a black space where the train should be. I didn't see a spot to add my train like I picked my pictures? EDIT- Not sure this link works .. it does on mobile but not on my laptop https://myfunpix.com/AllVideos/FunPix/King's Island/Mystic Timber/2017-04-14/6e997fc1-9ec6-4cb2-ac5c-656e0e69b730.mp4

Posted the review of my day in the passholder preview thread but related to 2017 got my souvenir cup today and funpix for the first time. It went up to $49.99 now I swear I just saw it as $44 online. Still a good deal though! The girl gave me a new updated gold pass and kept mine and didn't give me a receipt which made me nervous but seems to all be correct in the end...

My night... Luckily I was able to take a half day at work and leave early. Got there a little after 230. Was surprised they opened the gates early letting people go from one line to the other. I was glad they kept it single file I was imagining people just running towards Mystic Timbers from all directions. We got to ride by 445 (back row). My poor friend had to do the walk of shame but at least she didn't wait hours and hours to not be able to ride. Loved the actual ride he shed was so so to me. Wasn't planning to ride again since the line was growing by the second even though I wanted to see the diff from back vs front and day vs night. Anticipated all the other lines being walk on but boy was I wrong. Ended up spinning the big wheel one time and I am normally a completely cursed unlucky person but won front of the line Mystic Timbers passes by some miracle so waited until dark and rode again in front row and liked the change in the shed theme much better!

Not only was there no new ride last year..... also preview night was ONLY for renewing gold pass holders. This year you can buy a gold pass today and still get to go. So it will def be more crowded than last year. They also hopefully will have $1 ice cream and other things again

This whole time I was thinking it had to be like saw blades coming at you in the shed and the speakers playing the saw whirring noise from the announcement. Now with the speakers being distorted like that breaking up the warning it makes me think alien abduction. Like how in movies when you're in a car (or truck) the radio does that and also the working headlights could flicker out and go dark. But we already have one alien themed coaster hmmmm lol...?

On the last day of the season I believe 2 or 3 years ago it was Nov. 2nd and I brought my parents early on a Sunday and although we got in 30 min early none of the rides were open yet. They also told us it had to be above 40 degrees. And The Beast ramp had ice on it

^ Exactly I'm praying for rain lol. Not thunderstorms just cloudy light rain

The only ride my friends daughter wants to ride on preview night is White Water Canyon. It usually doesn't open until Memorial Day when the water park opens right? I can't remember for sure but I would assume especially this year with all the construction and draining the water it will be delayed until then.

Well heres a screenshot instead

It wouldn't let you download the pdf? Hmmm lol

For those that don't get the Enquirer I found a way to download and attach a pdf of the Mystic Timers part of the article from my E-Subscription. Interesting read... credit goes to the article author Shauna Steigerwald of Cincinnati Enquirer The_Cincinnati_Enquirer_(Hamilton_County)_20170409_D06_0.pdf EDIT: If you can't see it I added a screenshot a few posts down below this

FYI The whole A&E section of the Enquirer today was about Kings Island and had a story about Mystic Timbers!

Good catch just read it as well and it does confirm seatbelts also

No way lol... Shoe Carnival... everybody gotta get their Easter shoes I guess... Anyways back on topic ONE WEEK to go. I hope theres $1 deals again. Last year was soft pretzels and ice cream if I remember correctly

^^ lucky lol! I've been there 16 years too you would think it wouldn't be such a big deal.

Yah I want to try and leave work around 2 and get there by 3 as well. Also hoping since its Good Friday traffic shouldnt be too bad. Schools by me on spring break and some businesses probably closed too.

Bumping this since its getting close. How early is everyone planning on going and how early do we think the parking lot will open. I CANNOT get off work due to I work in retail and its busy Easter weekend its blackout no PTO but I'm going to try to at least leave a couple hours early to beat traffic and get in line!

My friend going with me preview night is also worried about this. Also I wonder if any rows have longer seat belts like Banshee (if it even has seat belts?) Or do these type of trains just have lap bars??

I had it from their normal restaurant near fountain square with bacon added. I thought it was great. The glaze from the donut just gets caramelized and crispy when grilled.

Me too I always need to ride both to compare but I bet it'll be too long of a line and they'll asign seats like they did with Banshee at the beginning.
