i for one enjoy the site, i understand that the site is full of rumors and you just take it for what it's worth.
here's to hoping it's back up soon.
-
is anyone else having trouble getting on screamscape's website?
-
this picture is from 2008 of side b, those seats look like they're in pretty bad shape, plus i feel like i read somewhere on here that all of these motion seats became donors for the ones still being used on side a.
... and is it just me, or is the bottom row of seats completely missing in this picture?
-
if this has been answered already, sorry.
anyway, can anyone who has been past Son of Beast so far this season be kind enough to share with me if the 'walls' of wolf pack have been taken down or not? i haven't had a chance to get to the park yet and i was just wondering.
thanks for any help!

my favorite type of roller coaster are wooden hypers.
after that it's wooden terrain and then b&m inverts.

I suggest everyone learn about money and how it really works...
funny, you were the one who wanted Kings Island to invest in giant signs that let you know that the smaller signs weren't lying by saying you must have a handstamp to re-enter the park.
-
they could easily do like Firehawk on it's opening day and just open it later in the day, they never said when it'd be open opening day.
-
haha, at first i thought those water dummies were storm troopers.
-
^nothing interesting, the wind got up last night and the camera was turned. it's done this several times in the past few weeks.
-
if they have a contracted deadline, then i'd say yes.
-
i hate to tell you, but that renovation took a year to complete. there are 19 days until the park opens for the season.
-
if you wouldn't mention the ride in every thread maybe, just maybe, they'll leave you alone.

i guess it's safe to assume that power is running to the ride now.
-
^i hope that doesn't happen, i love the idea of ark encounter and i love roller coasters, but if they were there in the same place, to me at least, it would bring people in for reasons other than what was originally intended.
-
i have figured out what is going on with the map!
they removed all of the trees to hint that Son of Beast is being reopened with a new layout. the trees in the park will slowly be removed and turned into lumber so that they work can be done at a cheaper cost.
i cannot believe that someone else hadn't uncovered this earlier.

on facebook someone posted a response from don about the ride upgrades, it said, to the effect of, the antechamber and pre-show room are being re-modeled/themed (i guess that's what you could call it), and a new sound track will be played. these were just "initial" changes, however, so i guess that there are more to come.
-
you said "your" mpg, not your car.
terp, was just playing on words.

sounds like you had a great time, angie!
From observation: If you don't like Maverick at CP, you probably won't like I305 either.. just something I've noticed, people who dislike Maverick are the ones who believe that Millennium Force is a better ride.. it all comes down to the opinion of what you like. As much as I love Millie, the intensity of I305's layout gives me a mind blowing thrill that I can't describe. If you do enjoy Maverick like I do, then start planning your trip to Kings Dominion.. I305 alone is well worth your trip.
if i ever make it down to kings dominion, i hope this statement isn't true. i've never found anything special with maverick, but i do not think of millennium of being all that great either, i'm more of a magnum/ dragster kind of guy. haha
i do, however, love forceful rides, great white (batman model) at sea world san antonio is my favorite invert i've been on, maybe i-305 will still have a chance.
-
Yes.
HTCO, just doing what terpy does best.
Nice! I leave for Florida on the 16th so hopefully that week they will. Where would I look to find out if there is one?
they usually don't announce soft openings, your best place to look would be the ride itself the days you're there.

Generally the 4-D theaters have real...."effects" such as mist spraying, smells, touch.
i always thought that the fourth dimension was either the motion seats or the "real effects," but anyway, that's just what i thought.
-
i thought action theater was already 4-d, the fourth dimension is the motion seats.
-
was smash factory the one where you were kind of like a crash test dummy? if so, i loved that movie, my favorite parts were when you ran over the cardboard cutouts as they popped up in front of you and at the very end when the smiley face airbag deployed.
-
i loved the nick the best so far not many parks have much in the way of Nickelodeon anymore
funny thing is viacom still seems to be okay with their extremely high license fees.
i knew without a doubt in my heart/mind that this change would be a successful one and i have no regrets with my initial thoughts.

welcome to KICentral!
it spins around at the top only, there isn't a free fall like on Drop Tower.

whether you're for the park or not, it's interesting to see the stages of production from concept artwork to final product.
