Well it's still standing, job site looks a little messy right now.

Fox19 reported a possible transformer fire at Kings Island after a lighting strike. Not sure actually in the park or right by it. Yes I am watching the news and on my laptop in my bathroom as I do not have a basement. ***update Fox19 reported that Duke Energy said lightning struck at the park and there is a transformer fire****

I got the error on both my phone and laptop, still happening.

♪♪Working in the rain la da da da Working in the rain♪♪ Sorry just trying to be funny.

That would be a Yes!

I think I figured out why the ride op booth has such a steep slope.... It's so they can wash the puke off easily. lol A friend of mine said the other day "What are they going to do when people start puking from 300' up in the air from spinning around at such heights?" I sure hope they put a cover over the ride queue.

Looks like another late night working.

Looks like the arms are going up.

Seems like a cool place to visit. Funny thing when I first saw the title to this thread I was thinking this

Working early on a Sunday morning.

Okay we can't settle this. Time to call Mythbusters!

I think they are........... ......and Big Bird even makes an appearance!

Can someone explain to me how you got into the center hub to load the ride? The queue was underneath the ride. And there was a stairway up the middle.

"What is this SOB you speak of?" On a side note.. I hope we see this kind of weather for opening weekend. As long as it doesn't rain I'll be there.

Sure looks like it. If it is, that would give Coney back some of its night time glory. That's the one thing I remember about Coney Mall as a kid, the lights.

Ok Cedar Fair time to buy up some rides for KI, Bring back the Flying Dutchman. I bet they could buy some rides on the cheap and put them in the spot where some intricately placed pieces of wood reside as of right now.

Nevermind. oy!

Not to worry, KI is building their swing carriage now.

That would be great, But KI didn't keep everything from defunct ride. I know The Flying Dutchman is at KK in Louisville.

That's what I was trying to explain to everyone saying it was concrete.

Something else is going on top of it. If you look at the edges where the ride pad is and the walkway to the left you will see and edge that is higher than the new surface. I know they wouldn't leave a 1 or 2 inch lip. That would be a big time safety issue and lawsuit if someone tripped and fell.

are you sure that's the "topper" they're constructing on the ground? i know i shouldn't go by it, but in the computer generated model of the ride, the red "topper" doesn't look like what they're constructing. Designs can change from animated video to final product.

With a question like that you know you will get a response from you know who. lol

Wasn't that website created by someone on here? Not an official website for WindSeeker or of Cedar Fair.

Did someone say Smurfs? I found these in my grandmas old pics. This is from one of our trips to KI in 1985
