The fireworks launch site is not but 100 yards from Beast, so they have to clear the area and wait for the fireworks to end in addition to checking the track for embers before clearing it for operation. I believe they moved the launch site when Firehawk was built (around 2007).

You know guys, Mean Streak could also be getting a GCI makeover much like GhostRider just received.

So we've had bad dialogue and multiple renditions of Jar Jar-esque members affecting the KIC universe. Ok people, let's get on that forced romance. Chop chop. If only Kinzel were still CEO, then we'd have a Palpatine equivalent...

Apocalypse is also in the middle of a desert-esque area. Such hot and dry conditions can't be good on a wood coaster.

^The first hyper.

^^Diamondback, WindSeeker, and Banshee would like to disagree with that statement.

If that layout is true, well, I know this is picky, but I'm kind of disappointed that there's no station fly-through. I think something unique like that would at least separate it from other woodies in the area.

Personally, I hope that if this is a GCI, that it has 0 inversions.

Keep in mind GCI has confirmed that Millennium Flyers can be made to do inversions.

I just thought of something with the clearing for this. Could they be using the pre-existing clearing that is the old WWC queue for part of this new attraction?

It was also a bit taller than RFYLCB.

The wood carving shop also used to be by that log flume as well if I remember correctly. Rivertown in general was much more lush in greenery. Very shady. Also, KCKC.

Here's a photo for reference. From the KIC archive.

Now these are the shenanigans I've been hoping for on this decoding thread for a while. Good times.

Need some Gold Bond for all that stretching homestar? There is truth to that though, Walt and Claude both worked for Giovanola, a company who supplied rides to Intamin, in particular, their stand ups and the ride formerly known as Flashback at SFMM, which have track that's identical to what B&M uses today.

I could actually see Kinzel doing that (more likely in Sandusky), but not Don.

^^Dippin' Dots employee confirmed.

Swarm at Thrope Park has a color that isn't too far off from that grey track. That might be the final color.

From what I remember going there, they keep the unpainted track on the side of the building, not out front.

^Not to mention, at minimum, the 3rd longest in the world.

If Kings Island is getting rid of the slight variety of food they do have (the one thing kind of going for the food department), then the food department will be in even worse shape than I thought. I think its time for a complete overhaul in the food department.

Could we try to avoid using Wikipedia as a source?

^Slacker. silver2005, avoiding 1 word posts.

So jdawg- any luck on finding your music? Or is there a 2x4 somewhere split in half?
