I think I remember seeing the Viper concept a few years ago. It never got built.
The switchback just looks like a good way to kill the pacing of the ride.
I heard the park doesn't even own Sling Shot for Sky Flier. Its actually another companies ride that just leases the land they sit on. Not sure if thats true or not though.
I went to winterfest when it was open I think in 2005 and there wasn't much to do there and it was super cold. The ice skating which was probaly one of the biggest attractions for me was an upcharge.
^ If you do that you miss out on all the great things life has to offer.
Those blend in really well with theming. Hard to even tell that they are there. Doubt Kings Island would be able to do that.
Is it just me but I actually enjoy waiting in the long lines to ride a new coaster. Watching it go threw the course ect.... and just trying to take it all in is an experience it self/
Welcome to the site. I believe in order to attended a media event you have to be invited by the park or win tickets ect. You can't just show up with your season pass and attend. I hope that helps.
