I hope they plant some more trees around The Vortex plot, there used to be so many trees over there.

We have been thinking all this time that in 2024 if there is a new coaster that it would go in The Vortex plot if land but what If we have been looking in the wrong place? What if they will demolish Invertigo and the front entrance? Invertigo doesn’t have the greatest capacity and I have heard guests saying they don’t want to ride it anymore after coming off it and we saw those markings and tree clearing near the front gate. I know It’s probably a crazy idea.

I would love to see some sort of signature element if it was a wing or dive that interacted with the path to Coney Mall from Rivertown that makes people scream at the top of their lungs like the Hive Dive on Fury at Carowinds or some version of a stall or hang time moment that makes people scream.

I went through the list of rides at Kings Island ( because what KI detective would I be if I didn’t ) and the only one that came close to MOHR was Monster but it is very unlikely for that ride to close and monster isn’t a lot like MOHR anyway lol.

Bring on the 187 foot dive coaster with 208ft drop for our second Hyper in the park!

I personally would like to see a Dive because we don’t have that vertical drop coaster but I wouldn’t mind a wing or surf. I do think that a Surf launcher coaster by B&M is a very high possibility, we will find out in the early months or 2023 hopefully.

Is it listed in 2023 if there is a new ride because they would start building in it 2024?

looks like a great episode!! I can’t wait to listen to it later!

I just received an update for my Kings Island app saying it now has the ability to pick up food at a designated locker. Interesting. Same for my Carowinds app.

So there is no re entry after 6:00pm on Saturday and Sunday and no re entry period on Friday, that is because scare zones start at 8:00pm on Saturday and Sunday right? Correct me if I am wrong please.

So I was wondering, does KI have employee dorms? I hear about the ones at Cedar Point and kings dominion and I I can find addresses for those but not KI employee dorms If there are some.

Same policy as Carowinds, interesting, Carowinds implemented the bag policy at the same time as the Chaperone policy. I wonder if they considered it for KI and ultimately decided not to go with it.

Is Hotel St Michelle open? I saw it was closed earlier.

Drop Tower is listed 5 minute wait, can’t confirm If open at the park right now.

I am really excited for Hotel St Michelle! A new maze is always super fun! Alien X scare Zone in front of Orion should be very Interesting as well! This years Haunt looks to be one of the best! Can’t wait!

Chaperone policy and new bag policy are now listed on Carowinds website.

I am surprised cornered has been moved all the way to Timberwolf! That should be interesting to see how it plays out.

So I was looking through the Haunt 2022 attractions and Drop Tower is not listed as an attraction for this years Haunt. I know it has been closed for a while lately, I don’t know if it is usually not in Haunt by my thought is they shut it down for the rest of the year. And will try to fix it in the off-season.

I just saw that Cedar Fair posted a article listing what golden tickets their parks won and it says Fury325 won the best steel roller coaster in the world then lists below: also in the top 25 steel roller coasters in the world, Diamondback and Orion at Kings Island, and Mystic Timbers and The Beast from top 25 wood in the world. Amazing job KI! Keep up the great work!

I assume KI will just slap a bandaid on Diamondback and try to find the quickest fix to keep it running until the off season then I think we will see a re paint and new lift motor next year.

Has Diamondback fixed what problems it has had lately? It has had all three trains in the shed sometimes. And sometimes when it goes up the lift it goes super slow.

I would hope that Kentucky Kingdom can get a Solid B&M invert or wing sometime down the road. But they probably would need more attendance first. So I guess I can see it in the next ten years or fifteen years.

We cannot thank the KI team enough for a amazing year! So well deserved!!

I wonder if this is some sort of hint about the launch being removed. I am not saying will but the point of the grand stand was to watch riders launch and fly up the top hat.

I really like the name they went with! Looks like a great ride! I am very interested to see how the new seating style goes.
