I’m excited because it will truly be a surprise the first time I ride. I don't remember the last time that we haven’t been able to see construction photos for a ride at all and where it is not out in the open like most of the recent additions!

I think if the ride still existed to this day and it never become Scooby Doo or Boo blasters, I like to think that they would’ve switched to internal face projection animatronics l-like what you see at Disney. If you look at some of the later footage of Phantom theater, you will see Maestro’s face wear down around the area from whatever jaw mechanism is making his mouth move- the same can be said for the boiler man

I feel like a lot of enthusiasts dislike the Six Flags corporation because they won’t work with Intamin, but I don’t blame the executives or whoever is choosing not to work with them. Intamin has had so many different opportunities to prove that they are a different brand and they are more competent now. Especially with quantum accelerator and Georgia gold rusher. Beyond the fact that both rides didn’t open on time which probably has more to do with the park they have still had problems. It just doesn’t make sense to work with a brand that can’t deliver and that has major downtime almost every single project. From what I’ve heard also the parts are hard to get and take forever so it makes sense to phase out rides that are expensive to maintain and don’t have spare parts on hand. While they may produce quality rides that are awesome to ride they just seem to be so maintenance heavy and always seem to have a lot of problems. While new rides usually have some problems they shouldn’t have to see extended downtime.

You got it!

I posted this link back in March so thought I'd do it again since he came up.  I do not know Mike but thought this was a nice article. https://www.journal-news.com/lifestyles/the-story-of-one-of-kings-islands-busiest-performers/6HCSAM3U65GG3PUT5A24R2MEZE/
