Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare Construction Progress
Orion-XL200 replied to Hawaiian Coasters 325's topic in Kings Island
My guess is that people are going to come either way and/or they don't want people to hold off on coming (especially early in the season) to have $$ coming in early. Just my guess. -

My feelings were never mixed, but this will be good for KI. I hope she finds success. -
Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare Construction Progress
Orion-XL200 replied to Hawaiian Coasters 325's topic in Kings Island
At this point, I know no reason of this attraction not opening "on time," whether it's at the very first day of the season or further into April or even May. -
Mostly from KI or CP. However, I've got several antiques from Sea World generic versions (some show that Ohio had a Sea World park) and a handful of other parks.

Could have been delayed to the mass snow storm across the state. -
Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare Construction Progress

It is amazing on how complex these rides are, even if they appear at times to be just simple on the surface. They are so incredibly complex. Thanks @DispatchMaster for a description of how much actually goes into it. I do theater work and most would think lighting is just as simple as plugging in the lights...but it's so much more than that. -
Holiday World - The Raven being retracked
Orion-XL200 replied to Orion-XL200's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I haven't seen for sure. I know in the past it's been in house...but either option would be an improvement. I'm hoping for The Gravity Group overall. -
Holiday World - The Raven being retracked
Orion-XL200 replied to Orion-XL200's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I'm looking forward to riding it at Holiwood Nights multiple times!!! -
https://www.facebook.com/HolidayWorld/videos/the-raven-is-receiving-some-tlc-this-off-season-about-500-ft-of-new-track-is-bei/1898792870772154/ While Holiday World consistently retracks it's wooden coasters in the off-season, I'm really excited for this year's project. The Raven is being retracked from the 5th drop to the brake run during it's 31st season. This section has needed some TLC for the past few years as it has been known to have a pothole that would make the end of the ride a bit jarring. The Raven is honestly my favorite wooden coaster at the park.

Remembering Action Theater
Orion-XL200 replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island History
I remember my first time in the attraction and it was when Spongebob 3D was in place. I think my family and I visited it for the first time in 2004. I'll never forget the dive to Rock Bottom. We all laughed pretty hard and had a great time. Sadly, years later, this kind of attraction would do me no good. I've done a few of the 7D type of attractions that can be found in Pigeon Forge...they're okay...but I don't know if they've really got much market in an amusement park. I do wish the building was used more than just at Halloween. -

I love RideSims...don't play it nearly enough. -
I do hope they do some painting on it, so it's not just black....glad they painted the concrete.

My favorite teaser campaign still to this day was for Dinosaurs Alive featuring @DonHelbig. Only 1 of the teaser videos remains, and it's the least great one. Someone who is no longer at the park removed most of that campaign from Youtube.

Kings Island General Discussion 2026
Orion-XL200 replied to Losantiville Mining Co.'s topic in Kings Island
But no one has so far (other than CoasterJack for PTON). Last year I was able to get the permits/project info online (I don't live close enough to just hop on down there to do this) including the cost of project and construction documents. Now, they list permits issued monthly....so January will be available sometime in February. -

Ahh that's right....I guess I corelated it with later since it didn't open with it in 2012, but it was added after the season started. -

The way Mason has changed how they share permits, we won't know until the process has already started or unless someone gets any permits in person. -

Canada's Wonderland did this with Leviathan. I think a year or two after it opened. -

I'd rather they get rid of BAB all together. -

Now the question is, will it have about 95% of Peanuts merch as in the past or will it feature more KI themed merch? Will it continue to be a repeat of items found elsewhere on I-Street?
