Klabergian Empire

Sorry for the double post, but does anyone else notice how there seems to be some sort of wire from the bottom to the 265 ft level. Anyone possible know what its for?

This is a cursed image:

So it is conformed they are doing so.

Looked like Linus' Launcher was worked on today.

Not only that, but wooden coasters have (pretty much) an immeasurable lifespan since crews can replace small parts with ease.

I would imagine it depends on the size of the structure they are removing. But as far as something the size of Vortex, I would say yes. When they were demolishing Son of Beast, they didnt take the whole structure down at once; They removed it section by section for safety reasons and to make the cleanup of the debris easier. Taking out Vortex in one go would be a massive undertaking and it would be a difficult mess to clean up. So this is a more effective way of doing it.

Less than 2 weeks to vote for the name of my custom Arrow Looper! So far, Backlash is in first followed Viper and then by a tie between Vortex and The Ripper with The WIld One being last. BE SURE TO VOTE!!!

@Waltny Closely examining your photo, you can see there are cables attached to the next section for removal. And if you don't mind me asking, would you happen to have any videos of the demolition?

Imma have to go with Vortex on this one.

I third this.

I would imagine Vortex will be down this upcoming week.

Why do I feel this would work? Like, Vortex's spot along with its look made it a photogenic coaster. This looks quite pleasing to me!

I think losing that small bandstand behind the Coke Freestyle (BUT NOT THE Coke FREESTYLE STAND ITSELF (lol @King Ding Dong))and building a path there could be an expansion opportunity for Oktoberfest. And as far as using the L.C.S land, I would imagine they would move the path a bit south towards Banshee's exit along the SOB station and in between The Bat and Banshee.

Here is an idea: On April 11, everyone should make Vortex's logo their profile picture just for that day.

The glare on the weatherbug cam doesn't help.

There's your Area 72 bathrooms!!!

Chances are you might even see a minor expansion to the Mall.

I almost forgot about that! If you look at a satellite image, you can see the watering hole (present on the image above) and one of the (I believe this is what it was used for) animal sheds.

Whatever is added needs to have loops/corkscrews/inversions. Because now the only rides that go upside-down is Invertigo, Banshee, and FoF.

Anyone know what the crane at Mystic Timbers is doing?

Can't tell via the weatherbug cam.

Yeah, I agree. But I was stating that publicity is probably another aspect as to why it's leaving.

I personally don't want to see Congo Falls go since its one of three water rides at Kings Island (excluding Soak City). But I will say that speculation of this kind is dangerous. If we just talk about how much we don't like The Bat, chances are it may go. Look at what happened to Vortex. I think another part of why Vortex is being removed is because it was having bad publicity as a ride. I won't go into much further details than this, but I really do believe that speculation of this kind is really dangerous. Going along with what @Oldschool75 and @IndyGuy4KI said, we should be focusing on what we have now and saying goodbye to what is leaving than just discussing what is going to be removed next.

BE SURE TO VOTE!!!!
