Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
silver2005 replied to Hawaiian Coasters 325's topic in Kings Island
You realize all the people on the front lines dealing with people everyday are constantly being exposed to the virus, right? Medical workers, first responders and those working at the essential businesses. Hospitals are desperate for supplies to protect their workers. Also take into account that there are those still ignoring the stay at home orders, either through individual means or the fact that there are still states that haven't issued stay at home orders yet. -

^That's nitpicky. There are parallel conversations we can have that relate to this in many ways. I think its better to have one place than have a bajillion different threads on it. Also makes it easier to avoid the threads if its only 1 for those of us who don't want to read them 24/7. Taking a break from the news is a very mentally healthy way to get through this quarantine. I have had to limit myself from reading about it as when I get caught up in it, I get very, very depressed. I only read the bare basics on it daily and then spend my day doing literally anything else. -

^We know how to treat flu and have vaccines for it. We don't for COVID-19 and the later is much more contagious. Flu also doesn't overwhelm the healthcare system like COVID-19 currently is. I'm someone in the higher risk category, and the fact that there's still downplaying of this is frightening to me. -
See y'all in Sandusky!

Said funnel cake has made me lethargic, so I'm changing it up to a DB fireworks ride instead of Banshee.
-
Got a funnel cake while I take the lengthy wait for 1-1.

There's only one explanation for the members seeing Vortex and Orion-less images (also possibly me for involking Off The Charts and Gravity).
-
WindSeeker opened, sunset rides are amazing.
-
KIC takeover on this.
-
Anyone here up for a virtual visit to CP's opening day in a few weeks?
-
So this is happening at Kings Island Theater.
-
Also going to try and beat the fireworks delay on Beast. Wanting to grab a Banshee night ride tonight, too.
-
^Rain soaked Beast night ride apparently. The best kind. Getting there early to grab 1-1.

Too bad @malem left his jacket in C-bus.

I know most DP fans (including yours truly) wanted a GCI, but I think this is their way of trying something different since they're surrounded by parks with really good wooden coaster collections. Given DP's crowds, this is still a great addition. I don't think this takes the place of Possessed though. Laser's/Stinger's old site is big enough to put the GG coaster in by itself. Possessed is a little ways away from that. Most people underestimate how big that site is.
-
^That was serendipitous of me.
-
Someone has spent too much time at the Bier Garten.
-
Man, couldn't ask for better weather today.
-
Hat tip to @Klabergian Empire for starting this thread.
-
Here in RT enjoying another KI food staple.
-
Its back.
-
Hey @malem, up for marathoning every Coney Mall flat ride including Viking Fury and Delirium?
-
You guys, Off the Charts started early and they're doing shows all day! #SaxERT

Boo Blasters are not blaster-ing.

^^Yes, tubular steel track. All Arrow mine train coasters are steel coasters.
