2020 Additions and Improvements
I just got done watching a POV of Fury 325 and let me tell you the 2nd half of the ride seemed very very slow. While it could be different in person (I won't ride it until this upcoming season) Im for one glad Orion won't have that issue.

Beach water slides
Looks like the Beach might be giving away some of their old water slides for those that have the equipment to move it. https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/zip/d/mason-assorted-commercial-water-slide/7037085238.html

Removals for 2020
Here's is to what I am hoping any way and its probably on the aggressive side. 2021 add some kid flats and maybe even a smaller kid coaster in Planet Snoopy. 2022 some small upgrades to the water park area. 2023 maybe not much done this year. 2024 is when I personally think we will see The Vortex replacement.

How was your 2019 season?
We had a pretty good year. We did our first cruise on Royal Caribbean and just booked a Disney cruise for 2021. We went to Kings Island over 30 times and we were able to make to to Busch Gardens Williamsburg this year. We went to Cedar Point as well but didn't get to ride much because of high winds and large crowds. We upgraded to Platinum passes for 2020 and cant see what adventures it brings us.

2020 Additions and Improvements
The reason they didn't break records with Orion is because of the cost of steel. Fury 325 was 30 million dollars just like Orion. In order to break Records with Orion the park would have likely needed to speed another 10-15 million dollars and they just wouldn't see the return on investment they need. We all want the big recorded breaking coasters but Cedar Fair wants one thing. To make a profit.

The ride is big yes but there really aren't as many supports as some of the older rides have.

They likely move them because if there is accident they probably don't want a bunch of people watching it happen.

We can do a taste test. Lol. Maybe it's just because I'm around LaRosas a lot but I took one bite of Cedar Point pizza and it was worlds better. Im not even a Cedar Point fan.

Finish replacing the rest of the black top with pavers. Repaint The Racers and remove the walls on the brake run. Remove LaRosas from the park and replace the pizza with whatever kinda of pizza Cedar Point has.

That turnaround looks to be pretty similar to what Diamondback.

Winterfest 2019 Discussion.
It's all about supply and demand. Selling too much raise the price, not selling enough lower it. How long does the ride typically take?

I think all the track will work will be completed in about a month. It should go together pretty quickly now.

Orion Coming to Kings Island in 2020
I think the pull outs on B&M coasters are more drawn out than other rides. I not sure what the G forces are on the bottom of the drop but I would venture to say in the 3.5 range.

Do the carriage rides just take you down and back on the Coney Mall midway?

Vortex Removal Updates
I wouldn’t think they would put the entire Vortex train on but maybe just use it for parts for the current trains in Carolina Cyclone.

2020 Additions and Improvements
All I want is some more family attractions. The kids area of the park needs updated.

Not my biggest moments but my daughters. She was able to take her first steps in the park this year.

Vortex Removal Updates
Speaking of queue over flows they should have made the line for the oldfashion cars longer. Those temporary queues are ugly and I always seem them in use. Cedar Fair loves to build extra long queue and for some reason I love to look at them.

Vortex Removal Updates
One can only open we can get our hands on some part of The Vortex. Take my money now.

Vortex Removal Updates
Based on past removals of roller coasters in the park I would think they would be removed.

Vortex Removal Updates
I get that point of view I really do but my reasoning behind saving it is not a reminder of The Vortex but simply put it, it one of the most beautiful stations I have seen and they don't make them like that anymore. Take a look at the past coasters built. Mystic Timbers, Banshee and Diamondback are just simply elevated rectangles with a set for stairs.

Someone could maybe find the plans for demo with the city.
