Italian Job 2005 1903 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 https://instagram.com/p/ziS5GeuOGN/?modal=true Looks like it's getting a new lighting package, AND new LED lights! Can't wait to see how this changes Coney Mall at night, especially with WindSeeker's lights nearby. 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LordSkippy 1696 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That new color scheme is downright sexy. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyGuy4KI 14894 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Nice! Can't wait to see and experience the newness! 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McSalsa 4583 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The new Red & White paintjob, even from just that 1 released photo, should be gorgeous. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcgoble3 26456 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Cool! Now if there's still some way to identify which ring starts spinning first, that would be a bonus. Because the spinning while still inches from the ground is one of the best parts of the ride. 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MantisMan 2213 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Looks great.....one of my favorite at the park. So glad she's coming back looking like new. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silver2005 25333 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Now give some LED's to Vortex and put better chaser lights on Racer and we'll have one mighty fine looking area in the back of Coney Mall. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_Plummer 2107 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 ^^ and bring back backwards Racer 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dieseltech20 2843 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Believe it has been said at least 100 times that backwards Racer cannot be brought back.....period. Anyways. Someone be sure and get some nice pics and video of the ride this season. I won't be able to see it in person til at least 2016. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PKIVortex 3706 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Love this new look, the ride will look brand new. I really missed riding Shake Rattle and Roll last season. Can't wait to see the refurbished ride back in the park, and give it a spin or two or three lol! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlondyRidesOn 1818 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I wonder what the new "observation area" should be like. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Imperial79 2148 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Wow that looks great! I can't wait! Thank you Kings Island mantaince crew for all you do, we know it's not easy to be out in the cold weather plus working in it. 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
medford 4392 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Red & White color scheme....so my dream of having it renamed "The Big Red Machine" still stands a chance, pending approval (read $$$) of little Joe 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zacc1993 906 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 This is one of my top flats at the park, so I'm very happy to see it back. It's one of the few spinny rides that I can handle. recaR ,sadly, will probably never show its face again at the park. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoChickens 3189 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I can't wait to see it back again.It is my favorite flat. Well, since the Crypt is gone,, 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CharleyTheDinosaur 1469 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I was close. I got the red and white part right at least. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/29812-whats-up-with-shake-rattle-and-roll/page-4#entry633751 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silver2005 25333 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 If you want an idea what the ride will look like come April, take a look at a ride at the sister park, Kings Dominion's Bad Apple. Picture courtesy of Kings Dominion. Link 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Interpreter 82068 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Does it come with the ride behind it? Hopeful Terp, who likes to ask questions. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silver2005 25333 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Kings Island already has a nice ride behind SR&R's spot. Or rather, 2 nice rides. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zacc1993 906 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Well we can definitely fit a third in somewhere. Any standup is good for me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcwizard13 4634 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Kings Island General Manager, Greg Scheid, has provided us the following picture from his Twitter account: Photo taken from Greg Scheid's Twitter account. I can't wait to see her all lit up at night. 16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upstop 12264 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Looks like a new queue/entry way as well as new concrete everywhere! Yay! Hope they didn't chop out the pine trees.... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
APE 3246 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The trees right by it was one of the best things about the ride. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyGuy4KI 14894 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I still see a pine peeking through, on the left side of the pic anyway! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PKIVortex 3706 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I knew they were a reason they chopped those old que rails down. It looks like a brand new ride and ride area. Way to go Kings Island! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upstop 12264 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 It really does look nice! It needed to be updated to ADA standards with the wider queue lines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
