Orion742

I would assume If this goes well they will implement it next year during regular season operations.

That sounds awesome!! I hope it fits the Space theme/UFO theme. Sounds like Haunt this year is going to be great with a lot of new things!

I would love to see a repaint if they update Planet Snoopy in the future.

I finally got the chance to ride Banshee again this year here are my thoughts. It was Noticeably more rough than last year, I felt the train shaking a bit more through the inversions. It was very surprising. Drop just as great. I love every time when you get to the bottom of those inversions the temperature drops like 10 degrees. I don’t know why Banshee is like that compared to Orion or Diamondback, those are Butter smooth.

K.I. & Miami rail road is closed as well.

Drop Tower seems down. Backlot says open I haven’t heard if that is confirmed. Orion says closed I don’t know why. Update: Orion now says open 10 minute wait. Must have just been something to do with testing and they fixed it.

Can anyone confirm if Orion is open or closed right now? I heard that it is closed.

Oops my bad, thanks.

Drop Tower has also been down all day along with BLSC, And Boo Blasters just now opened. Hopefully they can fix things.

Thanks. I hope they can get it up and running, such a good family coaster.

I noticed today that Backlot Stunt Coaster is closed? I know the back of the white train was dismantled but did they shut down the ride for 1 train not working instead of running the blue or red train?

So wait, from my understanding if you buy let’s say 3 of passes during the flash sale, every single pass gets a free FLP?

I agree, I do think a park like Kings Island where there are lots of things to do that are not just roller coasters is fine with gold pass early entry, personally I have not had a problem with to many people for early entry when I have gone.

I read the benefits again for the 2023 gold passes and it says you can use your Fast Lane August 11-October 30th 2022, then it says excludes Saturdays and Sunday September 4th so thank you for pointing the Sunday September 4th out to me, looks like you can’t use it on Saturdays though. Thank you!

I was watching the pov again and it looks like parts of the ride are regular wood track, most of it looks like Titian track but there are parts that look like wood track, I wonder why.

Wouldn’t have KI said something before the passes for 2023 went on sale? Cedar Fair released their attraction list for 2023 and didn’t say anything about new attraction for KI.

I also noticed on the gold passes they released for 2023 it says you get a Fast Lane free if you purchase by august 14th but you can’t use it on Saturday or Sunday, so that means after daily operations end you have to use it on Friday.

I hope it gets the very much needed repaint! Not surprised KI didn’t receive anything since during the pandemic we received a 30 million dollar giga. I am very surprised that CGA is receiving a new ride this coming year especially since it will be closing within the next 11 years most likely. CW flat ride looks amazing! And a new ride for the kids is a good bonus! CP boardwalk looks great! Next year KI will be the only park without a wild mouse in the Cedar Fair chain hopefully we get one sometime in the future. WOF Titan Track looks great! Love the spiral lift hill and excited to see how the ride experience will be! Layout looks great as well!

Has KI or Carowinds posted anything?

Who knows what KI will do, we shall see tomorrow during the announcements. Still no set time for the announcements?

I have as well, What I am thinking is that KI probably won’t get anything probably just more repaints. But is am surprised CW has not said anything since they have a vet high chance to get something but they are completely silent.

I hope so too!! So will Each park post a video on their YouTube channel of what attraction or park change at 10am or 12? I can’t find a time.

Did they say noon?

Looks like all of the Cedar Fair announcements will be at 10am est. The tweet said 24 hours and when they posted that it was around 10am est, and carowinds teaser with the ticket shows 10am.

I also just noticed it says seat 50 and next year is Carowinds 50th Anniversary.
