Yeah, I think it's appropriately rated. Like silver said, we need more modern attractions. It makes it hard to get rid of the "empty" feeling since the middle of the waterpark is severed by a no wake zone with the electrical lines above. If one day that were needed to be moved, that would open up a lot of opportunity; I can't imagine how expensive and difficult that would be to get clearance for.

Not sure, but I think it's a safe assumption that Carnivale may (will) return. Have absolutely no clue what the KI Theatre could see. We've seen circus-esque things for years now.. I think 6? since 2014? icr. While I love the impressiveness of it, it could be time to try something else out. I'd be happy either way~ I hope they can get talented singers, dancers, and musicians also~ Hopefully the summer show budget continues to get better and we can see more improved production values.

Can we let the mods of this site moderate, and the rest of us just talk about the construction progress? Me, being hypocritical for this one post.. hopefully no more. This is tiring. Argue about it in PMs, or make a request to a mod in PMs. Edit - I do see Malem's clarification; but the arguing is every time someone messes up. Let me go see what other people think... um.. somewhere else.

Still hoping trees could grow in that hill more around Diamondback lol
-
That's the same reason I.. (secret) kinda like Appollo's Chariot more than DB Those twists were surprisingly fun. I've never gotten a chance to ride Nitro. I'm looking forward to that last drop for Orion! Even if it only goes down half as far as it really could've

We were counting track pieces. edit- because it's not apparent from the webcam
-
5 pieces left till we hit the brake run if the animation is accurate~ Thank you, Youtube slow down feature~
-
Glad we won't be getting any more false alarms that they were removing the temporary supports XD
-
Or don't :p -- I like BoddaH1994's postulation of our new GM wanting a better feel. I think that is probable. Vortex's station would definitely be noticed being next to antique cars, and WindSeeker. It makes sense to not want to have a vacant station in the midway, especially when it's an older building.
-
I too always dreamed DB's helix could have paths on both sides leading to The Beast! I like your concept! We'd just have to have a decision to demolish TR's building though; get ourselves a cool tunnel leading to The Beast :p
-
Because the Earth isn't flat :p
-
It has been taken out. They were magnetic ones I believe. See KI's official 2014 POV to see it. That's why there's a random concrete pad underneath; to use a lift for maintenance.
-
This is the reason I didn't try real larosa's for a VERY long time. Once I went to a proper restaurant, I really enjoyed it. Idk why they allow their name to be tarnished at Kings Island.
-
But maybe it doesn't last though. Banshee's was removed.. One can hope :p
-
I'm excited that the low-to-the-ground-non-inverting-zero-g-roll is finally finished! Those supports have been there for awhile :p
-
Very happy that they readjusted the cam so that the entire ride is in view rather than it cutting off the station area. Makes me wonder if it's manually adjusted and you can't for-sure tell where it's pointing lol edit - I'm aware I'm not the first to notice it; just been sitting on that desire for awhile :p
-
Lol when it was confirmed we were getting a giga, I thought it meant Vortex would get repainted (at least partially again), just like when DB came. Haha hahah..uhehwhehuhuh...
-
Work for the park and hope that you are blessed with an employee riding window :p
-
I'm gonna hate on Orion where I see fit, and I'm not going anywhere Looking forward to my first ride though! -- BTW we now have an additional piece of track on the turnaround. Only way back is toward the brakerun!
-
Came to see how the ride looked in the snow. Interesting that they're still doing a test run for Zephyr lol

Winterfest will be CLOSED tonight, December 16, 2019

Who knows, but I'm certainly just hoping it's not going to be a substantial setback.
-
I knew there was something weird about the train colors!

Same. I always thought its placement mean they wanted to expand the waterpark to both sides of voyage.. but I think Pilgrim's Plunge may have hurt that plan; and then it was clear with the addition of Thunderbird that there must have been a change in future expansion ideas. (This all just assumptions btw) -
Looks like they are in the process of putting the highest support up right now
