And here is the tweet:

I would imagine that track work should be completed by the end of this month or beginning of February.

All those people wanting Area 72 bathrooms........probably won't happen this season though.

Where was that taken from? Shooting from that angle would give us a better view of Vortex demo.

Regardless, I think Kings Island's LaRosas pizza tastes pretty fantastic. It's better than gas station pizza by a long shot but its definitely not creme de la creme (very few pizza places are like that tbh). Kings Island has above average park food compared to other parks I have been to.

I usually try to do my best to be nice to employees in general, but ride ops are priority since they (to me) have the highest stress job. I recall last season Racer was down because of a nearby thunderstorm and I was first in line to get back on ( I waited an hour and a half in occasional rain and my legs were killing me BUT IT WAS WORTH IT!!!). While I was waiting, I spent some time talking to the employee who was standing at the entrance and we have a nice conversation and he thanked me for it. He said that I was one of few guests who he had actually talked to while he was working. But it was nice just to make his day.

I hope they at least keep the loops and use them for decorations.

As of 1:30pm, there are several trucks near WindSeeker, probably for Vortex removal

We finally know whats going to replace Timberwolf! #redsgotanewhome

Chances are we will not be able to determine specific elements with Vortex's demo. using the webcams. Ground level observations are most likely ineffective since most views of Vortex are obstructed from outside the park. I agree with @Maverick44. We need areal shots to get the best quality pictures of Vortex's demo.

I second.

Which coasterm is that above? I cant really tell.... I did not know it took the entire off season to do winter maintanance on the wood coaster trains. Thats cool that the park puts real dedication into making sure all is safe for the rides. ALSO, I had no idea PTC was still in buisness!!! For some reason I thought it was closed... One more thing. Whats up with the orange lap bars? Why do they not use the old full seat lap bars any longer?

Not trying to shut down the webcam discussion, but somehow we went from Vortex removal to webcam discussion. lol

I was lucky to be there. IT WAS AN AMAZING SHOW in person!!!!!!!!

Sounds suspicious.........

@Hawaiian Coasters 325 I completely agree. I also think that people should be thankful for what we have instad of what we don't. So what if we don't have the worlds (INSERT RECORD)? Look at what we already have!!! We have Racers, The Beast, Diamondback, Banshee, Mystic Timbers, and Orion. Kings Island has an incredible line up of not just roller coasters, but other rides as well. Again, we should be happy for what we already have.

I was at WinterFest tonight and saw Vortex for the last time.

What they really need is an Oktoberfest addition. Period. That area hasn't recieved a new ride since Adventure Express in the early 90's.

I don't believe the trains have to arrive exactly when the track work is done. If they wanted to, they could recieve the trains before they erect the first piece of track. But I see what you are saying.

Kings Island will probably open for 2020 sometime in April, like it usually does.

That would sure make a good background pic.

What is being shown that is being removed? The steps in the video? I do not nessicarily think that removing a few steps means the station is being demolished for good....

Yeah. Not gonna lie that's probably what's gonna happen.

I would have to say now since its turning back. It has gone the farthest it can and its literally turning around back to the station. It will probably be similar to DB and Banshee since they (sort of) worked in the direction of the ride. My prediction is the last piece will be the piece that connects the rest of the ride to the brake run, just like DB and Banshee.
