Welcome to KIC DoctorDiablo! Many of us are also excitedly awaiting WindSeeker!

Actually, compared to 2 years ago Delirium ran great last season. They seemed to fix the problem where it doesn't swing as high, and it seemed to "get up to speed" faster. I noticed this last year and actually made a topic about how I thought that it had improved and was actually close to how it was back in 2003.

In a lot of the construction pictures, it looked like the colorful "carnival flags" from Haunt were still up to. I wonder if they just didn't get around to taking it all down yet

I noticed that too! That is really weird.

I have AT&T and I like it a lot. I have service where people who have Cincinnati Bell usually don't, so it gets pretty good covereage

Hmm, anybody remember way back in the offseason of 2008-2009, they pointed the Diamondback webcam over to Coney Mall and said they were testing the view for "later in the season"? I wonder if they were actually moving it over there to see if it would be a good view for when WindSeeker would be installed...

They should just tear out the water tower completely, and most of that large center ring, and put in a HUGE planter. With a couple trees in the middle, so eventually it will provide...wait for it... shade in Action Zone

Wow, this was really nicely written! I learned a lot and the pictures were cool to see. That area had such good theming until Paramount took over. The first thing they did was put a movie themed ride into a "jungle" themed area, and mess up the theming of the park

The park added WindSeeker for thrill seekers, and Dinosaurs Alive for families, all in the same year. You can hardly say thrill seekers are getting "gypped". Take a look at the Kings Island timeline and tell me what happened between 2003 and 2006. 2003, a family attraction (Scooby Doo) and a thrill ride (Delirirum) were added. 2004 waterpark was upgraded, also not for thrill seekers, 2005 Italian Job opened also for families. 2006 Nick Universe transition is made, also for families. That's all Kings Island was adding, was family attractions after Tomb Raider ( except for Delirium), until Cedar Fair bought the park and added Firehawk in 2007. If you are taking the approach of "Isn't there enough for pre-teens and families to do already?", then couldn't the same thing be said about thrill seekers? Couldn't someone easily say "Isn't there enough for thrillseekers already?? I just don't get why people are stuck in the mentality that Kings Island should only add stuff that caters to their personal wants. Kings Island needs to add a big variety of things. When Firehawk and Diamondback were the two major attractions added consecutively in 2007 then 2009 (because nothing was added in 2008 I don't think) people were complaining that the park had too many thrill rides and that they need to add more family rides. When will people ever be happy with a compromise? Thrill seekers get Diamondback in 2009 and WindSeeker in 2011. Families get Planet Snoopy in 2010 and Dinosaurs Alive! in 2011. Oh and as for people not being interested in Dinosaurs Alive!, I am 18 and I am actually excited for it . I have loved dinosaurs since I saw Jurassic Park when I was like 6 years old. That's what Kings Island is for, gong to to become a kid again and just have fun. So I am actually going to enjoy Dinosaurs Alive

Well Kings Island could be considered a leader for having the longest walk-thru dinosaur experience in the world...

Not sure if this exact article has been published yet. Yes, I've been reading this whole topic, but it is hard to keep straight which articles I found where. (If that made any sense at all) WCPO featuring KIC's own Stalkerchick http://www.wcpo.com/dpp/entertainment/new-kings-island-exhibit-to-feature-dinosaur

If this truly is for Son of Beast, maybe the Son of Beast haters and the Son of Beast enthusiasts will finally be able to get along! The people that dislike Son of Beast would probably like it, if it's track is redone in super smooth steel, and they layout and banking of turns is changed to make it more exciting, and the Son of Beast enthusiasts would like it, because one of their favorite rides would be reopening

I'm still not convinced that this is a walk-thru attraction. The layout seems weird for a path, or even a ride for that matter, and it seems REALLY long. That would definitely be longer than Trail of Terror, and ToT isn't exactly short!

I'm pretty sure he was kidding

I wonder why they would assemble it in the parking lot, before moving it back to the "trail" in the woods next to The Racer turnaround? Also, why would they be assembling it now, if they don't even have the trees cut yet...

Best. Post. Of. The. Topic. Teehee, thanks! I just think sometimes people out there are so focused on getting something NEW that they don't take time to appreciate what's already there. Seems like KI was trying to give us a bit of fun in the off season, giving us all these clues. When they simply could have made a new banner and announced it without letting us speculate first. That pic somebody posted of the dino in the parking lot is awesome! The only stipulation I have if they make this some sort of walk-through is if they allow me to sing/hum Jurassic Park music the whole way through. Might keep the crowd to a minimum anyway. Oh and for those of you who keep replying without reading ALL of the posts first, please don't. It basically just clogs up the boards with useless crap. It IS possible to go back and read everything that's already in the topic, trust me. I came in about a gazillion pages in on the rumor coaster 09 thread and sat and read the ENTIRE thing before I decided to throw my 2 cents in. If you're not going to read everything, just don't reply. It'll save time for those of us trying to read the valid points. EDIT: Woops it seems my brother kjkjkj was logged in on his computer still. This post is supposed to come from Ashers!

@ Coasternerd You can still go to Kings Island to ride coasters, just don't go through the Dinosaur Walk-Through (if that's what it is, but it is pretty likely). EVERYTHING at Kings Island can't be a 200 foot tall coaster

^^"Make no bones about it that.." is a saying meaning "There's no doubt that..". So I don't think they mean whatever creature this is themed after willl literally have no bones, and besides snakes DO have bones. They used that saying, Make no bones about it that something big is coming to Kings Island. To say, there is no doubt that something big is coming to Kings Island. They also used it as a pun since bones, fossils, and Dinosaurs all go hand in hand...

Nope, this is definitely something with Son of Beast. You're right. My bad EVERYONE knows that they are adding dinosaur parts to the front of Son of Beast's trains to make it run smoother. I don't know how it slipped my mind

Starting to seem more like a Dinosaur walk though attraction...

I found one of my posts from opening day last year, and I gotta say.. I called them redoing Coney Mall and adding a flat!

I'm going back and looking at old PTRs from Opening Day last year, because I am going through withdraw from Kings Island . Just wanted to say that this was a good Trip Report, and April 30th can't get here soon enough!!!

Nope. That's 99.999999999% the turnaround of The Racer

I can't wait to see what this is! All these new hints everyday, is increasing the anticipation I wouldn't look too far into that as a clue. I remember when there was the Diamondback teaser of a "creature" in a crate. People said it couldn't have been a snake because of how the eyelids closed. So Kings Island doesn't pay that close attention to small details like that I guess is what I am trying to say...
