More concrete being poured right now. I am guessing this will be the ride op box? I see conduit coming out of the ground there! (next to the bathroom)

It's probably the PLC room. Control panels usually need just one piece of conduit coming from the ground.

What Gibson said.

Slowly but surely, all the restraints are being recovered. As in, being sent out to an outside company and having the old padding stripped off and new padding put on. Somewhere to the tune of around 7-10 each year. This started about three years ago. There are no Tomb Raider restraints on the ride yet. However, the row of seats no longer on Tomb Raider are being used for scrap parts for Delirium seats. Delirium was such a pretty ride when it opened. Now? Not so much.

More pieces of the tower have arrived.

The Beast never had a green train/car. It's yellow.

What? You think that it's crazy to think that a company listens to its customers. If a company is to survive it has to follow what its customers want, or at least go in the direction that the customers want. If it doesn't, it looses customers and dies. Period.
Enthusiast have visited more than their share of amusement parks all around the country, so why the heck wouldn't a park listen to opinions coming from enthusiast? If you owned a Pizza Parlor, and sold a pizza to someone who has eaten Pizzas from all over the country (all over the world even), aren't you going to want to know their opinions and know how you compare? Business is all about competition. It isn't Roller Coaster Tycoon where you just throw around crap and hope it works. You take advice from people, you respond to competition, you listen to your customers.
Kings Island has scouted this message board before. Why do you suppose they do this? Do you think they just do it on break? No. They do it to get opinions and ideas for improvement. They see it when someone post that they are excited about WindSeeker, they see it when someone complains about how they were poorly treated by an employee, and they see it when someone disagrees with a policy change. If they didn't care about opinions, they wouldn't pay someone to collect them.
Your ENTIRE post further proves my point on how out of touch some enthusiasts are with reality.

...sincerely doubt that Flight Deck got painted solely because of enthusiast complaints. In fact, I doubt they had ANY input into that.
Maybe not only because of enthusiast complaints, but I doubt that they had nothing to do with it either....
This just goes to show you how out of touch some enthusiasts are with reality.

I guarantee the only people calling and complaining are enthusiasts. I don't see them changing anything.
At least not until one of these enthusiasts contacts an attorney and the park is looking at a class action lawsuit on behalf of all the people who got "bait and switched."
HAHA! That's the best thing I've read in this whole thread!

That works too

You'll just have to take my word for it.

WindSeeker has begun to arrive at the park.
-
HA! I love it!

Well said PKIVortex. Some people in this thread think that the general public will have the same reaction that the fanboys are having. Which you and I both know, is not the case.

...We specifically bought our Gold Passes to ride DB and Beast early then leave the park to the tourists after the park got busy....
...I bet we're not the only people in Cincy that bought Gold Passes to do the same thing.
You mean to tell me you were not going to ride any other rides all season long other than DB and Beast during the ERT session? I call bull crap. As for the second sentence I quoted you on, enthusiasts ARE the only people who bought gold passes for that purpose. Reguarding this particular decision by the park, enthusiast thinking is way off compared to the way the GP feel about it. They could care less which "big ride" is open for them. Other people seem to realize this so why can't you?
-
...As for AZ Kinda Guy, we basically already know what the park is going to say. But, it's still important to make our voices heard.
Haha ok. Go ahead and let your voices be heard on a Sunday night in February.
-
...I'll be calling the park tonight, and I'd suggest other people do the same.
Do you honestly think that there is going to be someone there who can appropriately answer your question on a Sunday evening in February? Take yourself out of enthusiast mode for two seconds and think.

....So that is $120.00 lost for KI just from me. I am sure there will be a lot of other people and families that feel the same way. So my point is this will loose money for KI and feel this is not the best decision...
You're not getting it. The average family/season pass holder will not care which "big ride" is open to them for the ERT session. They are going to show up to the park regardless. It is simply a perk to them and not a make or break decision on if they show up or not.
-
General Public (local or not) with season passes don't come specifically for the ERT. It is simply a perk to them.
-
...I do appreciate the park giving ERT, but they are going to loose lots of money by not having DB ERT. I am sure there will be hundreds if not thousands of other pass holders that feel the same way.
Sorry but KI isn't going to lose "lots" of money by not having Beast and DB for morning ERT. Nor will there be hundreds or thousands who feel the same way. Better yet, there won't be hundreds or thousands who really give a darn which major ride is available for ERT.

That footprint was from the magical dinosaur who's going around stomping out the dreams of fanbois who actually think SOB will ever run again or was good in the first place.
You took the words right of my mouth. Post of the year nominee right there.

Are any buildings still around from the "old" Coney Island?

Who was that guy anyways?

Or maybe he just has the map folded over because it's easier to move it around on the desk that way. But hey, what do I know?
