And it appears to be on its way up soon.

Yeah, once I read about going from inside I had an AHA moment. As mentioned, not only do you install you must level it. Imagine they have many levels inside or do you think they built those into each piece so they could tweak each connection independently.

ok, they amazingly get the next piece in place but are they bolting them together yet or get a few done then go back and do that work. I see no cranes with buckets so wondering. And if just connecting via eye from ground, these guys are REALLY good.

Ok, saw the next piece go over and attached. Did not see workers connecting it. So is it just locking into place or are they bolting them (hope so). Just hard to see anyone on tower from that view.

Yes the crane was down awaiting a boom addition and probably bad weather to pass. I see another piece there and awaiting placement. I see a road perpendicular to The Racer behind it. Is that and one that is also in the background part of KI roads?

Seems as they are in a lull in construction. Do they have more pieces on site or are they waiting arrival for those parts? Wonder how much is done at the other parks and are these rides coming in/being built in a central location?

So first of all, will there be a movie running in the Action Theater this year and if so what? Will it be Spongebob still or something Dinosaur related? Also, how will you get to that area if it is used? WindSeeker is right on top of that entrance/exit and just wonder how they will keep the line for that and flow to the AT seperate.

WindSeeker Webcam2 on page but not active yet.

OK, so does this mean Action Theater is the movie that seems to go with it? If so is that an upcharge as well.

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?
