What about it makes you cringe? The height, openness, knowing it is a Mondial?

Lots of changes since that picture was taken.

Slingshot at KI would like a word.

I just looked, and the DB needs an update for proper encoding of the emojis. I let @malem do the back end work.

It should be available in the next update. We just need @malem to install the newer version of the forums. Then we can turn them on.

Here is a picture of it when it was The Beastie in yellow! https://kicentral.com/photos/the-beastie#8668

It has now been moved to our Past Attractions page on KIC. https://kicentral.com/parkhistory/past-attractions/ I am going to move this thread over to the Kings Island Forum. On topic, that area would make a nice queue for a new coaster!!

I wonder how many tickets they started with?

Great plan and I think it will help a lot, but will only succeeded if communicated out well to all the legacy patrons of the change. Otherwise the employees at guest services are going to have a very hard time with the angry customers. Lets hope the corporate PR is aware of the change and gets it out there far and wide.

I didn't make any changes. Let us know if they come back.

I am not seeing this on desktop. Are you seeing this on desktop/phone/tablet? We will probably need @Dane to look at this.

Try here instead. https://coneyislandcentral.com/ Did the link you used come from KIC that needs updated?

It seems to me it would make more sense to have the one in Rivertown open more than to build and staff a new one here. Maybe they know something we don't.

This was moved to rumors since we don't have any official news.
