It will be held at the International Showplace. From what I have heard from numerous people, it will be in the Action Zone, under the stunt tower. Theres also a sign for it up next to TR.
-
There are 5 rides on the ticket. You can ride either Delirium OR Drop Zone, and the other three (can only remember Beast at this point) you have to choose from as well. I believe this is how its set up. I only got a fleeting glance at the ticket.

Whar is the deal with them not racing the racer
SOB_TOM replied to CoasterXtreme's topic in Kings Island
I have only seen a couple of times where The Racers didnt race after one or two trains. -
No, it would turn people away from the ride. How many people saw TRs line last year? It was about 2-4 hrs, depending on when you caught it. That really didnt make me want to ride the ride.
-
No, I actually work on TR. I was going on break with one of the other workers, and I notice someone sitting in the jeep. Noone is supposed to be there, and I was going to go say something, but then I noticed the film crew was over in that area, and saw you go out of the jeep and walk to about the TR sign. I was wondering what was going on. PS. Dont get any ideas. Thats still my jeep

The brake out of the station of SOB is in case of a power failure, the brake will catch. Its a lot easier to get things from a flat line than that hill!
-
So thats what was going on! I saw you do that Land Rover thing, and I was actually about to ask questions but then I notice the film crew.
-
They did at one point, but the problem was that it was so dressy that people would leave, get dressed up, and then come back and eat there.
-
Imagine for just a moment that Skyflyer and Slingshot are non-pay rides. The lines would be humongous! Personally, I wont pay to ride them, but I love working them!

Hey cool! Im a swing that day! Hopefully I can be in the filming for working! What time is the shoot anyway? Did anyone find out? -
When are you gonna stop by TR again? Its been awhile since I talked to ya. We need to get together again sometime chef!
-
Actually, Aaron, I believe the walkback is to either SOB, Beast, or Delirium.

The park is doing everything in its power to have all the rides and attractions functioning every day. And if TR happens to be down, go ride on of the other 48 rides in the park.
-
Hey I remember you Greg! Come over to TRTR sometime! (more than likely I will be at Delirium again first lol)

I was recently golfing the Old Silo Golf Course outside Lexington (beautiful course, but a little wet) and I heard that on the 2 hr drive down. For those of you who golf, hit Old Silo, off of I-64, east of Lexington.

SOB_TOM replied to CoasterXtreme's topic in Kings Island
I was told that the reason they do not race The Racers is because of capasity. Whenever there are big crowds at PKI and long lines, the park wants to have the lines as short as possible. This means not waiting for the other side. Dragonlord, the numbers thing shouldnt be a problem anymore. Most schools let out before or on Friday. -
I worked last year on SOB (thus the name) and this year I work side by side (heck, even shoulder to shoulder for those who have seen us) with the almighty FOF.
-
This is the last week for my school as well.
-
The only thing that is said after Lady Croft's grandfather is "Absolutely".
-
Lets think this through real quick: The earliest that I have ever seen PKI release anything or give any teasers is July. Unless this is a really big display, why would they start on this now? It probabily just is a statue, and nothing more.
-
The only problem I see with that hypothesis is that what do you do with that giant VIBE sign thats hanging in the showplace now? It took em a long time to get it up, so how would they bring it down while keeping the same show schedule?
-
Its Friday!? NOOOOO! A bunch of my friends are going up to celebrate end of school. This wont be good.
-
Ok, so I screwed that one up, but my point was that line length isnt a correct estimate on which ride puts through the fastest amount of riders.
-
That doesnt mean anything. SOB has 3 trains, while TG has 2. Statestically, just by going with that, SOB can get more people on the ride in one hour. Then again, you have to figure out ride length, how fast the ops are going, ect. A lot factors into it, but line length, I really dont go by. You really need to see the capacity reports at the end of the day.
