For those who understand blueprints, I'm curious... What do the "New P-19F" and "Relocated T-TA3" markers indicate?

It appears it will. When I go to his page on my phone, it sends me to a mobile-friendly site instead. They also have mobile apps: iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ustream/id301520250?mt=8 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.ustream.ustream

Happy? Anything else that shouldn't have been left off? I'll print them if there's enough interest, as long as I can get name badges through the printer without them jamming. If you're interested and will be at KI on Thursday, let me know so I can get an approximate count.Also see the meet-up thread: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27900-aug-8-announcement-meet-up I'm DEFINITELY going as is my brother Oldiesmann. I will ask him about the name badge when he gets home from work. I am pretty sure I replied on the meet up thread but will verify and send you my guesses lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Slow night at work = I'm already on KIC Sure, why not. It'll go great with my KIC shirt

Whither Conneaut Lake Park Now?
Oldiesmann replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Sounds more like an oversight on the part of the state agency than an issue with the park itself. I am wondering though how someone can be a state-certified rides inspector for a park that they own. -
The park has said they won't be streaming it, but coastergeek101 is planning to stream it at http://ustream.tv/channel/coastergeek101 Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I'd rather see us go farther and hit 500 pages (that's "only" another 2987 posts)

The first time I've disagreed with the wise and all knowing O'Terpy. Skyline is where it's at. Am I the only one here who wouldn't mind seeing Dixie open their first Ohio location?

After getting last ride of the night on Flight Deck on Thursday, I have to say that's the best sounding ride (FD at night). It's really quiet back there at night, so the only sounds you hear are those of the coaster, its riders, and lots and lots of crickets.

Watch for live media coverage though. Both 12 and 19 have news at 10:00. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Wednesday was a great day for rides. At the end of the night it was so dead that I got two straight 5-1 rides on Vortex without having to get off. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

SoB's failure was not really due to the push for world records. It was due to a series of bad management decisions and poor construction. A state inspector in 2009 placed the blame on park management (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/200911/1529/). This old article from The Enquirer also shows how bad things were handled: http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2000/11/23/loc_kings_island_sues.html (that was published just 7 months after the coaster opened).

I had one on Wednesday. Not bad, but not as good as Great Steak (or Penn Station for that matter).
-
At this point I'm just hoping we still have a Slingshot next season...
-
I'm not entirely sure yet. It looks like they might be preparing to do some work back by the graveyard, but it's hard to tell. Most of the work is still focused on the area where all the footers are right now.

Save the Date - New World Record Breaking Attraction
Oldiesmann replied to Voicetek's topic in Kings Island
They wouldn't be sending out a message to their text subscribers if you had to pay to see it and/or it wasn't open to the public. -
When FoF first opened, word was that the government was looking into using LIM technology for launching fighter jets. Whether or not that was true, I have no idea, but LIM was pretty state-of-the-art at the time.

Glad to see KIC on Tapatalk now :-D I'll have to remember to turn off my Tapatalk signature when posting here though. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I agree with you about the Tilt-a-Whirl ride op. She seemed to be having a blast.
