As was said before, it's the same number of vehicles as before, just spaced differently (2 blanks between the 2 vehicles. This helps the experience with the spacing. Also I'd love to see a short on how the flashlights work. Several things are taken into account. If you try to point it to far ahead the system get's confused (your light may be a different color) also if 2 people it the note at the same time, in my experience neither get's the note point. Also there are different point values for different notes. Maybe we can get everyone on here to try and find out if that is true and what the values are.

Brad Ross Illusionist in the Kings Island Theater
robintodd replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island
Saw the show with my wife on Friday and my Grandkids yesterday and I have to say he was much better. I think he just needed to get used to the theatre. It's starting to grow on me. I still now how the tricks are done, but that just grows my appreciation for the assistnants and their talent. On Friday both of the small illustions with the girls did not go off well (the scarf and the levetating glass). He covered it as well as he could. -

Think no legs larry. Watch the ring around the body VERY carefully and notice he doesn't walk all the way from the feet to the head. Also black backdrop, curtain, etc. This trick takes ALOT of core strength from the assistant. She does it very well. (Just my guess but with things like this, take away the impossible and what remains is the only possibile explanation.) -

I'm not sure if it's him or lighting or sound something just seemed "off". I agree over rehearsed and to me lacked personality. Maybe it was just the show I saw. I'll give it another go. The dancers were very good but I don't expect dancing in a magic show. It definitely is geared toward children imo and I'm sure 13 and under will get a kick out of it. I think the biggest difference between this show and other magic shows here in the past is Penn and Teller Fool Us and the internet. Honestly I didn't see anything that I didn't know how the trick worked. Over half of the tricks when the "big moment" happened nobody applauded or even gasped. Nowadays close-up/slight of hand/card magic is much more mystifying and takes more talent than large scale illusions where the assistants are doing most of the work (if you know, you know). Also, I may be wrong but does he use local tallent for the other performers in the show? The "second" magician looks like he could be the Great Houdelini from the Encore show. I can't wait for the park to start doing broadway style productions again, Oh how I miss the Taft years. -

Smoked wings are fantastic. So are the green beans! -
Where I haven't confirmed it, I believe I heard some notes are more than others. Also the number of riders has alot to do with it. The first time I rode it i was by myself in my car and the next one had no one in it so basically 1 flashlight for all the notes and I maxed out at Hilda. However you get the other car full and you have 4 lights competing for notes instead 1. Not to mention you can try and it the notes on an upcoming scene (sometimes giving you a different color on your flashlight). Not sure but I think at that point you're scoring for someone else. Also 2 beams hitting the same not does nothing, (as far as I can tell). I would love to see how this system works exactly. None the less it's much more accurate than Boo ever was.

I noticed those also, the only problem is they don't make it clear to put the puck on the sticker. Maybe I missed something but it wasn't very intuitive that i had to do it. I'm pretty sure it works off the sticker and it's more of a way to have the server know where to look for it. -
I was also hoping for a third option (we don't like Friday's). Best part of the marina space was when it served Montgomery Inn ribs! Tomo's (Breakers habachi place) Is the meal my wife and I look forward to each time we go. It's fantastic! (More Saki, More Happy!!!) Also it looks like the Bay Harbor Menu has had some changes to it. Looking forward to trying some of the new offerings. Perkins is also great but isn't open for Dinner.
