I could see that happening. Nature trying to put the truck (humans) through what the trees are made to go through; the sawing and shaping, sometimes heating. MT just got political; save the trees! lol

I really am curious how the track work is coming along, we haven't seen many pictures back there except from the side, showing the structure being completed, but I wonder where the final shapings and the rails have already been installed at.

Hasn't stopped Six Flags, assuming B&M doesn't say backwards trains is alright on their coasters

Yes. I think we all wish KI was a flagship park still sometimes~ We used to have two 200+ but.... lol

Ahh, forgot about those

That truck is gorgeous! Appropriately aged for the theme ... not that you'd have to physically age it yourself all that much Gonna need to start doing some research about Miami River Lumber Company lol Notice the truck in the photo is sitting JUST outside the webcam I wonder what else is at the park that we can't see

Exciting! I can't wait to see Mystic Testing... but it looks like there's still a lot to do with the ride's buildings/ theming And I'm honestly a little concerned that the queue-crete hasn't been poured yet A month and a week till opening

A lot of people I'd assume only come to KI because Spirit Song happens to be at the park and that allows them to enjoy the rides between acts they didn't come for etc.

Yeah, its a little up in the air if this ride will have its own gift shop.. Maybe they're moving away from it after how few people seem to buy stuff after riding Banshee

Hahaha how cute! Basically what I was envisioning but larger front ~ thanks for the visual

It's probably gonna be like New Texas Giant. GCI have lead chasis too. Have essentially a fancy rectangle on the front with a gap necessary from it and the front row gate portion... or even omit the usual gci gate for the first row. I dont think it's going to be severely hanging over the front

I don't think they've done that before. The rides from geauga was when they want to make it a water park only

Probably with a door

YES! I'm so glad we have a new woodie finally Edit- i wonder what's going to hang over the top of the steps there.. maybe simply a light?

I guess I never posted the video:

I'm not certain but this video has a little bit of fog shown.. everything else is missing.. I've heard from someone on the forums of some of the spikes in the tunnel that would detract or move in some way.. Also, really cool seeing the monorail? cutting over Adventure Express

https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/834132541674242048 According to this Feb 21 reply... there's a good chance they've at least partially arrived. Though a tweet a little later says no date has been finalized soo... One cant say for sure... yet

VR needs to be on rides if the ride's designed to deal with the loading times.. Im not a fan of rides that offer multiple ride experience options for the same physical track. It makes the line feel slower as you have basically half the opportunities to ride even if you don't opt for the augmented reality

Yeah for Cedar Fair it's good. But i just generally think paramount did a better job with theming

Well then ZDTs coaster should count despite an apparent (and nonsensical) no shuttle coasters allowed

I guess it is over by the batwing isnt it? Hmm.... I think I will stick with my ordering.. if anything swap adventure and Banshee. The ones by the dive loop are more for the entrance/ approaching.. which is great, but doesnt get noticed nor enhance the ride for me

And there will soon be coasters 500ft tall.. not sure if those are called poler coasters... or if that's supposed to be just for the style being built flying around a single cylindrical tower

Nah. They need to have employees to run the park and most of their work force is in school till 2 or so in the afternoon. 4pm is right when the park will open IMO

Not counting the yet to open Mystic Timbers Best themed ride experience is Backlot despite its diminished theming since opening... best overall including queues, FOF.. awesome queue and station theming, but not really anything in the spaghetti bowl, you can easily tell its a black room with randomly colored lights.. looks awesome.. but not really thematic. Banshee then Adventure Express to finish it off. Again Banshee has those cool lights, but I wouldnt call it thematic rather than a different colored fill light than white. Adventure Express has good on ride theming still left over.. nothing in the queue and station.. and some parts arent really themed even still

The smiling face??
