Decoding Episode 2.5: BONUS ROUND! Second Announcement!
DubVLegend replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
^^^ No sure didn't. Unless it was over my head and tied into Mysti or wooden coasters. Maybe we are getting an orignal live action donkey kong game in the big brown box.[emoji6] Edit: like 1981 style donkey kong. Get ready to climb some ladders and jump some barrels Sent from Me using Tapatalk -
Decoding Episode 2.5: BONUS ROUND! Second Announcement!
DubVLegend replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
Happy announcement day everyone!!! I'm anxiously awaiting. I hope it's posted to social media quickly after the announcement because I never seen any word of it being streamed. Edit: Btw I'm getting a huge kick out of all the people on Twitter and Instagram that think this announcement is about what's in the shed. Edit: 3 more hours!!!! Sent from Me using Tapatalk -

Since we are on the security subject... I honestly have no problem with a security check(actually think it's kinda necessary these days) however I feel that it's pretty pointless if your not doing them all the time. How do you decide which day needs a security check and which ones don't. Like I said I'm all for it but it should be consistent if your really trying to keep the park safe. Yes it will cost more money. But money well spent. Sent from Me using Tapatalk

Even though being part of something epics footers sounds super tempting I'll have to retract my previous plea Sent from Me using Tapatalk -

Ok I have got to be honest. I'm getting a little restless now. We are currently in the middle of August and still have no word as to when our second announcement is coming. And as if that isn't bad enough I look at other CF parks and they have announcements planned and already announced and for Petes sake one even has a flipping ' hotline for hints. A hotline!!! Not trying to be ungrateful I just think it's time to throw us a bone on this second announcement guys. Please :: cute and sad big eyed puppy dog face emoji :: Sent from Me using Tapatalk -

Yea there's gonna be a lot of post in here if you announce every time it's down. Thankfully there's soooo much more to do there. I use to live in DC and I'm still not sure I've done everything there is to do there. I Heart DC! Sent from Me using Tapatalk -
Id have to disagree. Sorry but i feel all the food there seems to be mediocre at best. By far the biggest disappointment IMO would be Panda Express. Chinese is one of my all time favorite foods and I've ate at hundreds of Chinese places in different states and countries and I'm sorry but Panda Express at KI seems to be one of the worse. Don't get me wrong I love Kings Island guys! And the Oreo churros and funnels cakes and candy apples.... Ok so all the desserts seem to be on "fleek" but when it comes to actual food I'd rather leave the park and enjoy some of the many options 5 mins away that's a lot cheaper. Don't mean to offend. Just an opinion of a 270lb guy. Sent from Me using Tapatalk

Ok so with the closing of WWC today The only thing that would be fair is to go ahead and start the construction camera today. Now granted its not a great replacement for WWC but something that would kind of hold me over. Can i get a quick moment of silence for the abrupt early closing of IMO one of the best water rides our park has to offer.................................. Til next year WWC

New For 2017: Mystic Timbers!
DubVLegend replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Hmmm wonder what Mr. House meant when he was talking about when he made the comment about other coaster gaining speed and slow back down but Mystic Timbers would go start to finish just "crazy"? Maybe because its just non-stop action??? -

Ok so I watched the announcement again last night(first time watching it since we went to the announcement) and after listening to the whole thing again and watching the pov I'm thinking that once this coaster hits 53 mph it may stay at 53 until right before the shed. Is this possible? Sent from Me using Tapatalk -
This one will be a little lengthy because its possibly one of my favorite childhood memories and is still vivid in my head. Ok so it would have been summer of '96 and at Kings Dominion to beat it all. I was 13 at the time and we were on a big family trip and we were camping at the Kings Dominion camp grounds for a week. I remember it had just opened that year and thats all my cousins and other family members talked about all the way up to the time of the trip. We just couldnt wait to ride Outer Limits: Flight of Fear. So out of the huge group of family members that had joined us for the trip there were a total of 10 of us that were brave enough to ride. So the 10 of us headed to the ride to unfortunately find the line out past the entrance of the que in which turned out to be over a 2 hour wait. We didnt care we were determined to ride. So we waited and eventually made our way through the first part of the que and made it into the building and oh what a treat that was. We must of had pretty good timing because even though we didnt know it at the time we had got in the buildings minutes after the beginning of the video started. Being a kid and seeing theming that detailed really submersed you into the whole thing. I know i missed the first couple things said on the tv because i was to busy looking all around staring at what appeared to be a full sized UFO. After taking in the scenery I focused on the tv and was captivated by the story unfolding on it. Then the story takes a turn and next thing you know your sitting in complete and total darkness(not gonna lie it kinda scared me totally wasnt expecting it). So after seeing the video play through like three times and still having a large bit of que line before entering the ship 3 of the adults decided they were not gonna wait anymore and decided they were gonna leave and come back at another time and then one of my cousins decided they had to pee and theyd go with the adults(I really think he was just scared). So we were down to 6. We continued to watch the video and point out little things around in the theming that were overlooked at first glance. By time we got to the ship we could almost recite the video. Once inside the ship we started to hear a noise we hadnt heard before which was followed by shrieks and screams. So we make it to where we can see the train and get to see a train take off for the first time(First time any of us had seen a launch coaster). After the first launch we immediately lost another adult and another kid. Down to 4. So then the next thing we know an empty train pulls up. I can remember my cousin looking at me and asking "where are the riders?" Well that was all it took with that one sentence she scared off another one of our cousins. And we are down to three. One adult and two kids. I ended up in the third row and can remember feeling like my skin was gonna be peeled off backwards as the train launched into the rest of the building. The first thing that ran through my head after seeing the track was theres no way can go through this without running into another piece of the track. It looked like a giant ball of yarn. Well a giant ball of steel track. As we zoomed all around that small space i can just remember grinning ear to ear and hearing my cousin weeping like a baby. Then just when i thought it couldnt get any better at the very end they blow my little mind turning us upside down with just a lap bar... I was ready to cry with my cousin when i seen it coming and remember thinking "Well this is why all the trains were empty". Great ride and still love it to this day.

Ok guys so Stashua beat me to it yesterday but I've got some pics from this morning. Not too much different from when Stashua went through but some updates none the less. Oh and Don was three rows in front of us on the train taking pictures as well. Might see those on his Twitter soon. Sent from Me using Tapatalk
