Yes, pre '86 Look above the girls head at time stamp 2:01 That is the lift hill for The Bat. So '85 or earlier this video was made, or should I say filmed.

Now that the lawsuits are settled, how long do you think it will be before they say what they are going to do with the big wooden monstrosity that sits on the edge of the park?

Yes WindSeeker 2 is up and running.

I think this thread should be locked. Really nothing productive that can be added since we now have a thread on that really big thing. lol

For me, I won't pay to see it. I would check it out if it was for free. Not my cup of tea. As for those who like this, have fun. From the temperature of the general public on Facebook, it was not well received due to the upcharge. That was a majority of the complaints. Yes, I will look at it from WS as others have suggested. lol. I feel sorry for those larger families on tight budgets; this will be expensive on top of the already high food prices.

I would be fine if they didn't add anything, save the land for future use of something better, such as a coaster or an expansion of X-base. Or more flats.

If it is a walk, I am very disappointed. If I wanted to do something like that I would go to one of the many exhibits that travel around the region. Or even the creation, or natural history museum. I'm not saying put in a coaster, but make it some sort of ride, not a nature trail with some dinosaurs. By the tempature of the responses on Facebook, most people have had negative posts about being a walk of some sort. They want a ride. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I know that. That had the straps and cable laid out this morning across the platform. I posted a live fed not a picture.

I concur with this--I did the 10K this past year and from what I remember, the area around what is seen on the map was significant. My guess is that the red outline is at least a mile or better, and I would doubt they expect many people--particularly families with children--to walk that distance in the heat we sometimes experience here in summer. Perhaps they will re-use the trams that used to take people to their cars to pull guests through the area, but i think walking the complete distance is unlikely (unless they were to add a group of rides as stops along the way, which is unlikely to be completed before the beginning of this season as has been suggested). With gas prices the way they are, I highly doubt they would install anything that required the use of gasoline.

They're getting ready, The cables and straps are coming out.

Really? there's so much stupidity in that statement I don't even know where to begin! You would really expect every exhibit to look EXACTLY the same? Every eye to look EXACTLY the same. the fact that we have no way of know what a Dino Eye looked like , fossilized evidence cant illustrate that, that rendering of an eye.. that concept is WAY to close to ignore! I understand you want a coaster or park expansion but face it this is what your getting. Really? You need to read KIC TOS before making response posts like that. Also welcome to KIC.

Boy, if I acted like that as a kid, I would have received a switch across the bottom. lol

Here is a pic of the shipping container and what was taken out sitting right next to the south park entrance. I have no idea about what will be in the announcement, but if I had to guess - I'd say that the item from the container will be mounted on that nice new concrete pad sometime around Friday. Time to go take a peak under the cover. lol jk'ing

The eyes don't match. look real close.

You mean the log flume? Didn't really think about it. Who knows it could be a dinosaur version of shoot the rapids for KI.

I found it!!!! What DK stands for, and guess who made it? Good ole B&M Dragon Khan But according to rcdb it is still standing. and here is where the finger/claw comes from

Has anyone noticed they added 3 new pics today? **Edit** Nevermind.

I'm sure I'm thinking too much into it, but did anyone notice that the picture of the red trailer is also focused at Diamondback. The way the picture is taken, it is assumed the photographer wanted DB to be in the shot. So I guess another B&M Coaster, maybe a stand up or maybe a coaster like X-Raptor from B&M X-Raptor.

Maybe it can be the new B&M coaster design that's opening up in Gardaland called Raptor. I believe raptor has a splashpool too. Call it Terrordactyle. Could be possible. I could see it fitting. X-Raptor

I would say the red shipping container that is located where the fireworks are shot off from. Check out google maps

Another theory. When they say "turn back the clock on thrill", it doesn't necessarily mean turning back the clock on thrills that were at KI, but maybe somewhere else. Just a type of ride that was popular in the past?

No we haven't--------see post 182

The return of the King Kobra? Two snakes in the same park? Can't wait to find out. I just hope it's a ride and not some walk through of animatronic(sp?) dinosaurs.

Win7 is soooooooooooooooooo much better, compared to older windows products. I am also a ubuntu user.

The mud picture is now gone. But I have learned to screen capture stuff. lol For those of you who have not seen it before it was removed.
