Also, Thunderbird would like to say hi.

Flyers are also more open and allows for less body movement restriction than PTC's. The front seat is divine.

Over the course of the last 2 pages, this thread became awesome.

Just out of curiosity- do they have the construction on Kings Island Drive done yet?

I'm very intrigued by how the KI GP will react to the ride when they actually ride it.

I hope Mystic Timbers with added lights doesn't lag....:P

I can't tell, have the trains arrived yet?

I know it will be an awesome ride as is, but oh how I wish it got a station fly-through...

On SOB- If anything, CF was gritting their teeth on SOB due to the kind of maintenance it needed to operate and it immediately blew up in their face right after purchasing the Paramount Parks. Also, CP opened Millennium Force the same year SOB opened, I think we know who got the better deal there.

I like that Off the Charts is back on the I-Street bandstand. Its a more spontaneous location for that kind of gig, especially for audience participation and interaction. You can also hear it around the park better.

The difference between Thunder Road's placement and Racer's placement is the fact that there wasn't giant hills behind TH. You can't really do much with the land behind Racer. I think KI's focus of any kind of expansion will be in Rivertown and Action Zone in consideration of Timberwolf's future.

6-1 is rather good as well.

Oh, another benefit with Millennium Flyers to note- they are great trains to photograph in motion.

Didn't PTC also refute that in saying they were okay with running trains backwards?

High five! I ride those 2 rows often as well. You can specify me from the UC gear I often wear.

Save the trees by killing them to create the coaster? silver2005, asking questions in lieu of another member.

And WindSeeker to boot.

The trains on Coastersaurus are smaller versions of the Millennium Flyers since it is a kids woodie (smaller as in slightly narrower). I imagine GCI could cook up a slightly larger front on their full scale Flyers.

This is an idea of what the trains could look like. This is a train used on a coaster recently fitted with the Flyers- Coastersaurus at Legoland Florida. Picture from GCI's Website.

I think I may swing by for this since I'm working on opening day. At least to get my 71st coaster credit.

I imagine the first tunnel would be hard to hear one another given its all concrete (thus the sound has nowhere to escape, it just bounces around) and its the tunnel taken the fastest, and would result in one of the most nonchalant on-ride photos ever. Tunnel 2 would probably be the easiest. The helix tunnels will be the real challenge.

Also, my Skyline is in a less populated part of town. I can imagine waiter/waitresses at the more popular Skylines (Clifton during the school year, downtown) haul even more in tips.

^I work at a Skyline restaurant, not at KI. I'm comparing those tips to the kinds of tips KI waiters/waitresses make.

Alas, KI will finally be a home for the greatest wooden coaster trains ever.

This conversation is why I define things for myself and don't let designers' product labels tell me otherwise (coughRMCcough).
