It still doesn't link properly dude. I don't know how you do it from a phone.

One of the articles said it would open in the Spring. It's not guaranteed for opening day, if I remember correctly.

The link for this video is broken, or Youtube is being stupid again. It won't play for me.

My sarcasm detector must be broken this evening...

No...2:00pm. Please refer to my post two up from this one.

2:00pm as stated umpteen times in this thread...

Local 12 is also reporting on the new attraction. http://www.local12.com/News/Local/story/Dinosaur-Attraction-Coming-to-Kings-Island/D3jnsJLygkKMucYaKdfz1A.cspx

I voted Carl Winslow. "Did I do that?"

It's still playing fine for me...see post #965. EDIT: Terpy beat me to it!

New video posted. Looks like it's on the concrete slab for the time being...

Based on that picture, that thing is massive! (POST 450)

Looking back at these pictures, I can't wait for April 30th either. It's been a long while since I've been to the park (June 2010).

Preferably Red. Last few times I've ridden, Blue Racer wasn't operating.

Something else interesting I saw... http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/photo.php?fbid=10150175462893368&set=a.226729858367.174830.155893938367&theater "This is the outline to the new attraction that will be announced on the 18th, a Jurassic theme maze type of attraction. Something of that nature." Can't wait til Friday...

New pictures posted on the website. http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/park/mud/index.cfm

One can only wonder...someone said something about a pterodactyl earlier in this thread. Maybe a dive machine? Diamondback proved to be a huge hit for the park and I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to go back to B&M for another coaster.

Haven't been past CSF (B&M plant in Batavia) in a couple of weeks...last I saw there was blue track sitting outside. I only live 10 minutes from there so I'll have to swing past and see if I see anything that may give us a hint.

Got an idea...it's starting to make sense to me now. The dinosaur skin on KI's page or whatever it is...there's an old saying that oil came from dinosaurs. And with gas prices on the rise...what better time to make a coaster based on it? I could see it now, Marathon could be a sponsor! Of course I'm stumped...I have no clue what it could be. Can't wait for Friday!

Went up to KI after a long, stressful day at the day job. Got off at 4:30, was in Gold Pass parking at 4:50- only a 20 minute drive from Milford. 1. Diamondback- Row 10 Brown, 10 minute wait. Saw Gary in line. How many rides is he up to now? 2300? 2. Beast- 10 minute wait. Good as always. 3. Vortex- 10 minute wait in 3-1. Long lines for 1-1 and 5-1. 4. Red Racer- walk on. Blue won unfortunately. 5. Adventure Express- walk on. Some of the tunnels smelled like raw sewage but that's just me. Left the park around 6:45 and headed around the corner to Kings High School for the East/West Football Game. East won, and after the final whistle, KI set their fireworks off. Perfect timing if you ask me. Thanks for reading, as you can notice I'm not on here as much anymore- will have more trip reports when I can find time to get out to the park. (60 hour work weeks are not fun!)

This caught my eye on Yahoo tonight... http://autos.yahoo.c...roller-coaster/

Check this out....not sure if this has already been posted. http://www.journal-news.com/news/hamilton-news/6-lawsuits-trying-to-stop-sale-of-kings-island-parent-company-470156.html?cxtype=rss_local-news

What a season it has been! It's hard to believe that the 2009 season came and gone in the blink of an eye. I would like to thank the associates of Kings Island for their hard work and long hours to make the 2009 season one that was surely memorable for not just me but my friends who also had the privilege of attending with me throughout the season. I also would like to extend thanks to Ryan, Dane, and Robbie for maintaining and moderating KICentral and providing a place for people who not only love Kings Island but amusement parks in general to come and discuss topics regarding this industry. The offseason (sorry Giga) may have just kicked off, but the fourth quarter will be here soon enough and we will once again be enjoying the place that we are here to discuss. April isn't too far away-hang in there! This year in whole has probably been the biggest for me coaster-wise. In April, I had the opportunity to visit Universal Orlando where I got 3 coaster credits for Incredible Hulk, Dueling Dragons-Fire, and Revenge of the Mummy. Also, this season was huge for me at Kings Island where I got 5 coaster credits for Diamondback, Vortex, Son of Beast, Invertigo, and Flight of Fear. I've never ridden these rides before this season. During the season, I met many KIC peeps and enjoyed it very much. Hopefully I'll meet more of you guys in the future. Once again, thanks to everyone for an awesome 2009 season!

Honestly, I wouldn't think that tomorrow night would be all that busy with many people starting their workweek on Monday.

I have an idea....they can build one and it can run between Kings Island Drive and I-71. Great views of the freeway!

There's a lazer tag place right off of the Western Row exit called Lazer Craze in case you didn't know. I have an awesome idea for an offseason KIC meetup: science slumber party!
