I studied whip techniques as early as age 6, when I first watched Raiders of the lost ark. I had several whips I practiced with throughout my youth, but it wasn't until I discovered the 12 plait kangaroo hide whips (type used in the Indiana Jones movies) that I really became proficient. That type of whip, and the one used in the video posted, are deadly weapons and can inflict serious damage to your target - namely your own limbs if you are not careful! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcwizard13 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Thought I should add my lonely three pictures from yesterday. First, a view similar to the webcam: A view walking down Coney. I really like the trees in this one; they really add to the photo. And, finally, my personal favorite. I took this standing by the entrance sign for Congo Falls. It really shows how much the dive loop dominates over the midway. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) GOCC tour! Station foundation: The light-colored matting you see here is designed to help prevent landslides during construction: Some footers in the valley, plus Adventure Express: I can think of no better caption for this one than what was said on the KIC Facebook page a few days ago: "Insert loop here."Exit of the dive loop. Don said that there will be no digging out under this point. For reference, I am 5' 6" tall.Don getting ready to take a group photo:Fire-Beast-OF FEAR, BeastForever, and ohiocolts peeking under the fence during the group photo: Looking straight up from under the dive loop:First drop:Dive loop:Support label:CLIFFORD!!Transmitted from Wild Space via my datapad's DROID brain EDIT: Some more captions have been added.

TheCrypt Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Thanks for the pictures, Jonathan. I haven't been to the park since July so when I get up to the park next season it's going to be a real surprise just how big it is. That last picture of the dive loop is great! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 So thanks to the awesome dive loop exit photo Jonathan posted, it's a safe assumption the clearance is around or over 6.5 feet. Not only that, notice how the track is angled slightly which will lead to the train swinging out some.... That solves the clearance mystery! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondbacker, whose height has already deemed him too big to ride four Kings Island rides. You're asking the wrong person that question lol for two reasons: 1. I'm short (5'3") so the only rides I am banned from for being too tall are kiddie rides 2. I don't know anything about min/max height restriction determining factors So, to answer your question, I really don't know 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
