Yeah, I was very surprised to hear KK installed a drop ride. I am sure many will remember and want to ride any drop ride there. Kinda a bad PR move from my standpoint. My kids even remembered the incident and were shocked they would put a drop ride in the park.

ok, just got email CP did it but KI site not updated
-
So the KI site says the Gold Pass offer is over May 29 but KD sent an email saying it goes till 6/2.
I thought I heard 6/2 for all parks. So is that true?

Can someone post the direct link to the waterpark and Diamondback cams?
-
Yeah I just found that as well.
Does anyone have the direct links for the Diamondback and the Splashcity web cams?
-
Maybe they should implement a hotline you can text/call when in line and there are issues.
They do it at many stadiums now.

I rarely post images to forums, so found it funny after I posted my '3 train on lift' image I saw this as my only other image. (from media day)

So optical illusion? I am thinking so but looks like 3 trains on lift.
-
-
ok, so what site can I post a picture to so I can post here.
-
Just looked at the Banshee Web Cam. Do I see all 3 trains on the lift hill?????
I saved a screen shot to closer inspect.
-
I don't know if you guys have seen this or not, but they updated the pictures on Banshee's thril ride page to real pictures instead of the animation. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/Banshee#panel1-5
Yeah and it lists the ride as 2 min 40 sec when (if not mistaken) it really is 1 min 40 sec.

Did you ever ride Son of Beast? That is the MOST awful and painful ride i have EVER ridden.

Ok, rode The Beast on Sunday and I believe I did not see the updated logo on the front of the trains. Am I mistaken or are they waiting for the celbration in June? What day is that?
-
And its not running again.
So is Banshee having issues ?
-
I could swear I saw a second tarpy thing on about a week ago and now only one again.
So what is going on there?
-
Wonder if there is any chance they would ever fully enclose the helix as shown in original drawings.
-
Yes, I remember The Beast opening, but that was 1979. This is 2014 LOTS has changed in policies/technologies since then.I have ridden The Beast in snow but not anymore. I went to the park years back on a snowy day (had a pass) and on the way out was given a Snow Day ticket for an admissi9on at a later date. I gave that to a friend to use the next year but should have held on to it as I have never seen one before.

This is Cedar Fair talking about rides (coasters especially) running in rain?
Last few times at Cedar Point, when it is just barely raining, coasters go down.
Does KI have a different policy? I know it is Media Day however.
-
Well you will see large people on rides such as MF at CP and not take the walk of shame. It is really about the hips and the belt going over that. Some larger people will fit and some will not based on the real waist line.

So when does the crew get their training on the ride?
-
yeah, there appears to be a walkway there. Maybe for traffic flow and Kodak Moments as well.

I would love to see them finally enclose the entire helix as was noted on the original drawing.
I remember being there and riding The Beast as the helix was being built and somewhat dissapointed
when it was done but not covering the entire helix.

The Beast 35th Anniversary
in Kings Island
Posted
My first ride in the first year of Beast operation was with Carl. During running of bulls he said 'stick with me' We got the front seat and it was a great experience!
