I highly doubt they would close the biggest coaster in the park prior to closing day. Any work that would need to be done would wait until the end of the season. Sent from my iOS 10 device -

^^^^Haunt is nice, but I enjoy the Christmas season more. I think I would enjoy a return of Winterfest. See how that works? It's called demographics. The park is in business to generate revenue. If the park can stay open longer, the more opportunity for revenue. Your business model is highly flawed. 1st big mistake, you put all your eggs in one basket. I can see it from your point of view since you are in the "haunt" industry, but KI and other CF parks are not full time haunts and morph into something else; when needed. Sent from my iOS 10 device

I really believe that RMC reference, "Yo Adrian!' snapchat was to throw us off. KI has been known to do it. They like to keep us guessing. I am hoping for an RMC, but I think this is GCI all the way. I will be very surprised if it is a RMC. There is more than one Rocky....right Bullwinkle?? Flying Squirrels are the rage these days. LolSent from my iOS 10 device -
Aweful lot of expense for decorations and signage for a place without a dedicated holiday event.....hmmmm lol I think Santa Scheid might give us more than a coaster announcement this Thursday?? Sent from my iOS 10 device

Manf: GCI,the RMC clues were too easy. Diversion at its finest. Height: 150-199' Layout: certainly not what the "key view" shows Anything special: GCI first inversion on a coaster Records: most inversions over water? Name: Kodama Sent from my iOS 10 device

Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees
Oldschool75 replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
So I was looking at the drawings again. If we go by the key view, (which my be fake) the lift hill after the bend is 345ft in length from start to top of the left hill. If you use the lift angle of most older coasters of around 26.5 deg, you get a height of 172, but here is the kicker. If you go with the angle which a lot of new coasters have been using of 30 deg, then you get a 199ft height. That is using the scale of the area of work section that measures 60ft in length. So quite interesting. Terp did say we would be surprised. Do you really think they would push the 200ft woodie height again? I can't imagine they would. I just can't wait until Thursday.

Well The Racer is as follows: Height: 88 ft Speed: 53 mph Length: 3415 ft I sure hope CF would do better than that. I see something in the 125-165 ft range, between 55-65mph, length between 2700-3500ft, with some fun elements included. -

I would say the public would be allowed since it is at 10PM. Same thing they did with Banshee. -

I'm fairly certain that is heading south, past western row. That building on the left is fairly new, w/n the last couple of years. But yes, b/w KI & 275 Yep, sorry I saw the water tower on the right, there is a similar building on the left as you are heading north. lol -
