I was looking that too. Its the rendered layout picture that didnt totally account for the terrain.

The best thing about this ride is it doesn't seem like tons of trees were cleared in order to erect the thing. Diamondback goes back into the woods, but the clearing is so much that it feels like an slightly open field And Banshee during opening year too. Though, the Banshee area didn't have tons of trees since SOB so.. couldn't have done much there

You best put your hands up! also, here's the source https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/827262053463134210

New blue and orange would be amazing

Or go south of FOF

Pre-raised first turn, or post? [emoji14]

Vortex is safe for another year [emoji14]

I'd be happy even if the shed wasn't revealed during a dry run But bonus if it is.. not sure if KI will put trust in their seasonal employees over this. Don't want to ruin it a couple days before But like I said, I'd be surprised if there even is a dry run. I think Media day should have the shed revealed though, right? Does that make sense to still hide it?
-
That would be nice, though, I thinking maybe not since the Returner Bash poses prizes for a chance to be among the first riders for Mystic Timbers.... On April 13th. April 14th is a private event, so I'm not anticipating an employee dry run as you said there was for Banshee, unfortunately.

https://www.visitkingsisland.com/things-to-do/events-and-promotions Have fun Tuesday night, people I do hope I can partake in the Mystic Timbers exclusive ride time on Tuesday nights because my GF will be able to with her pass.. But I doubt they or other passholders would want KI employees to come in line

Interesting that The Bat gets to be adorned with a level 5 (I don't think it shouldn't necessarily)
-
Gwazi was off the top of my head. Invadr outght've been [emoji14] And I personally think El Toro counts. I've known about it for awhile now
-
Chughes is right before mine~ so him ha We have the resources too: p
-
Gwazi? Oh wait lol Edit. Searched.. there's El toro, Gold Stiker.. heck, InvadR even has a straight drop [emoji14]
-
But the straight drop is good because of not having started the adrenaline rush [emoji14] But I agree curved drops can be good too... similar to a straight drop, curved drops are best in the back. Banshee in the back right, Phantoms Revenge, Thunderhead etc.. I cant wait to have MT in the back ~
-
Yeah some of the rendered hills in MT appear to be almost too big to give anything more than floater.. but quite as poor as Roar's big hill after the turn. Despite this.. there still seems to be a fair amount of quick paced changes too~
-
I guarantee I will not.. unfortunately. It's very hard to make me jump when I know something will probably happen.

New Cedar Point website.

That's because they haven't updated their Youtube logo watermark -
Fast Lane could simply make a 2 run limit for Fast Lane.. It would help a lot and still retain the value of the pass. Also, where did the park announce the entertainment lineup? ki95?
-
It's as aggressive and smooth as voyage within the first year or so of retraking [emoji14] But not as fatiguing

Im predicting giga on the 50th anniversary. No logical reason aside from it being the most appropriate for the occasion.. I would be surprised for anything else. The high station of SOB is perfect for a giga since B&m (the now likely candidate) likes to end their gigas fairly far off the ground... I agree though that coney mall towards Dinos makes sense... but I think a high thrill flat would make more sense than to close DA and rip up all the pathways they have now. I think if they close Dinos, they will try to find a new use that lets the pathways stay. Kis 50th in 2021. Im waiting: p
-
I hope FOF runs like that this season as well! I did ride it, I THOUGHT it was towards the last half, but it must not've been because I wasn't so lucky to catch that experience hah
-
But it seems like the ride wasnt originally inteded to alwaays stop. The track banks almost completely sideways out of the breakrun. I think it was designes to only stop if the next block wasn't clear.. Anyone able to vouch how FOF used to run if it ever simply trimmed through the MCBR? Ive heard Kings Dominion doesn't fully stop you either
-
A ride like Banshee? So like Raptor? Or Montu? Raptors ride is still well paced and forceful after the "speed killing" MCBR... Personally I feel like Diamondback feels sluggish after the MCBR. MCBRs are fine unless they don't quickly pick up a good pace (not speed) if they completely stop AND dont quickly pick up speed... looking at you FOF then they are kinda lame... but just kinda [emoji14] Some rides you might actually love having a MCBR (i.e. Vortex for riders that are not me)
