Look around, pre announcement made and yes a dino walk thru. FYI, does anyone know if the Action Theater is in use for this year and if so what is showing?

Well could this be a distraction/addtion to WindSeeker for those who are there waiting for others in line. Some will ride WindSeeker and some will not so give them an alternative in that area. Or do we see worse that this is a distraction (like reverse racers when Bat had issues)? Would love to see something like old fashioned cars/dinosaur vehicles back again.

What day is the final operations of Kings Island? Is it the 31st? When would people meet for the final ride?

Outside some rides are signs that say count the signs, or something similar and report the answer to the attendant to get your points for prizes???? Anyone know anything about this?

I am wondering what changes (if any) KI will have next year. We have had coaster, kids area and now waterpark is due. After riding Wildibeast at HolidayWorld they should really add one of those to the waterpark. Think it would be a great addition and is very re-ridable.

Was at coastermania this year and found that Disaster Transport had no lights on for anything. Yes, that is a ride that needs to be brought down like SOB and replaced.

Now that they have released the schedule of events (mostly) and discussed some food options, will we get more detailed information about this weekend (those who have registered)? They list several things about food and drink options and additional events but no real details. Just hoping to find out all of it before hand.

Is the cam ever working anymore?

I asked Don a question about the ride construction (a few weeks ago) and he said then that B&M reps would be onsite in a week or so. So I am assuming they have been here and gone. I also asked if they would be here as guest speakers at RWW but Don said no.

When I said POV I meant on-board not simulation.....

So, we have not seen a POV from Diamondback yet. Wonder when that will be posted? Do we have to wait for Media day?

The fence talked about is actually just outside the track IN the splashdown. That fence is just a keep-out barrier fence.

It is odd that train #2 is in station with all those people in the splashdown area. Would think they would want a lockdown to keep from any accidental issues....

Noticing they have a basket on the crane on the lift hill. Wonder what they are doing?

It appears from the web cam they are making a 3 ft or so wide rock bed around the pond. Wonder if any rocks will end up in it.

Wonder what they are waiting on to finish the lake landscaping?

Pulling out trains so guess they may run 3 train testing again for a while.

Sweet

What are they doing by the splashdown / final helix?

It was amazing the number of runs they made with 3 trains yesterday. I would say they are easily ahead of schedule. Of course I wonder when they will be full training the staff. From the fast turnaround on the cars, I would say they were not doing a seat up/down each time the cars came to the station. Can not wait for opening day.

They could put scalers in the fins on the back car and you could get a dip, a fish and fry it all at once.....

It has been there a while. Think they are waiting to finish filling the pool area.

yeah and will be 60 by mid/end week....... :-) (If you don't like Cincinnati weather, just wait a day)

It appears they are really just cleaning the area. The stream filler will probably be used all the time to fill it. Might take quite some time with a small hose like that... :-) But I agree they want to fill the pond soon to test the reaction with the cars and the splashdown.

ok, image is back to shed and #1 is no longer in view....Hmmm, can not tell if in station or not but it is definitely not in the shed.
