Here is my "prediction". This seems to make the most business sense and would correlate with the closing of Dinosaurs Alive. There is a lot of land between Racer and FOF for a station and queue. Also opening up the entrance to Coney Mall would help traffic flow.

Biggest mistake they made was getting rid of Enchanted Voyage/Smurfs and KCKC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Paris,London,Berlin, where should we go next...I’m Hungary. I really want some brisket though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can say someone employed at KI did it. Full timer, seasonal employee, who knows? Someone does know if it legit or not, but they won’t say either way on this forum. Just be mindful of those who think they know all that happens in the park, because they likely don’t have a clue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, it’s been on my calendar since the ACE holiday party. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I found out what is going into the space previously occupied by Dinosaurs Alive....fossils. Lol Well, only employees had access to that area during Winterfest since it’s on the other side of the tracks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doubtful, as the start up temp for MT is 35F Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More than likely MT has given its last rides for the year as temps for the remaining days of WF will not reach the start up temp of 35. Then again, Cincinnati weather is crazy and changes very quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And cost of transport would be a little less with B&M. LOL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry, I figured it might have been removed. I re-added it to the post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I posted it , but apparently the admins removed the link. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here you go. You have to give them props for trying. Since it’s a new coaster they would have to see where the threshold was concerning cold and snow. Of course an empty train is going to go much slower and more of a chance to valley. https://youtu.be/JexX-I6I4Kw Video provided by Brendon Carey

It would make sense for Racer. They could technically shut down one side after the labor day weekend for its yearly overhaul, then reopen it for Winterfest. That would give them 11 weeks for a rehab on the one side. Not sure if it could be done in that time. I know there is a lot they have to do during winter breakdown. I guess we shall see.

Honestly, I don’t think they should open anymore coasters. Winterfest is a not about rides. I can do that the rest of the year. I enjoy the holiday activities and shows. I’ve been twice and rode MT once and Zephyr once. That’s it. I’ve enjoyed all the Winterfest activities and atmosphere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I heard they may be burying some fossils.

I would say probably not. Then again I’m not going to Winterfest to ride coasters. Go enjoy the Winterfest activities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

GP. I know enthusiasts will ride it. LOL

Start up temp for MT is 35 degrees, but can run in lower temps once it’s running. I’m thinking he said maybe 25, but doubt people would even ride it at that temp. This was said at the ACE Ohio Holiday party by Don. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You know you can go to Dollywood to ride a Gerstlauer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure what happened. Somehow it decided to quote you. LOL I removed it.

Here, read this article. It simplifies the single rider scenario and may be easier to understand. You do not wait any longer in line due to there being a single rider line. Actually, when Diamondback had a single rider line it chewed through the queue. http://www.ocregister.com/2016/06/24/robert-niles-do-single-rider-lines-help-shorten-lines-at-disneyland-and-other-theme-parks/

I'm hoping to pick up a Jerry Dowling 25th Anniversary print somewhere to frame with these tickets. No luck so far. (Image from cincyillustrators.blogspot.com) Anyone know of one for sale. Not seeing anything online.

I thought I would share this. An old friend from school was going through his stuff and found these. He said he thought I would appreciate these instead of throwing them away. 4 unused Dry Run day tickets for the 25th anniversary season. Now I just need to get them framed for my office. Way cool.
