Since Vortex was a 48" coaster, can we assume it was a "Family Thrill"? I guess I am saying we could get a very similar ride to Vortex and be considered a family thrill coaster even at the 48" mark.

Agreed. my wife does not do spinney rides and we rode it 5 times in 1/2 hr. Unless the car is out of balance, there is not a lot of major spinning.

I really want a MACK Spinner that includes inversions like Time Traveler at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo.

He looks like he abducting all the humans and got a Karen. He had no idea why she kept asking for his manager and is bringing her back.

I would agree with that! They are just now getting into the restructuring of positions. Next season we will start seeing the results of those changes.

KICentral extends its warmest congratulations to Grace on her new role. We look forward to a productive collaboration with her and her team, sharing our passion for Kings Island and inspiring others to embrace their love for the park. Follow her on X here: https://x.com/gracepeacock

I would think at a minimum, it would be a hybrid. I don't see an all wood structure for another project that big again.

That was the full song by this duo in the window at Snoopy's Boutique. I thought the song was pretty good and deserved to be the bed of the full video.

See the full daytime SOB Interactive in this KIC video.

I didn't make the comment, "no word from the park it seems" to insinuate that they owed us an explanation. Just that nothing official has come out about it that I had seen or heard. My apologies if my post made it seem they did/should or otherwise. That was not my intent of the comment. That argument can be had over the years going way back as @disco2000 pointed out in the post above mine.

I hear it has not operated all weekend. I am here right now and all the trains are in the storage shed. No word from the park it seems.

Great PTR. That DB pic is awesome!

The KIC Haunt Video.

I enjoyed the Undertaker Trifle at Sweet Spot.

Good to know. Thanks for sharing that information.

It seems no one learned anything from the last incident. The "We know there are pictures and knowledge of the incident online, but there is nothing to see here; move along." attitude does nothing but tarnish your name and brand as a whole. If they are going to just pretend something didn't happen what else are they hiding? I don't want to feel that way about KI, I care deeply to see Kings Island and SIX be successful. I volunteer a lot of my own time to promote its success. I am just as dumbfounded by this action as you. Edited just to add: By not addressing this, you are slapping everyone in the maintenance department in the face. They work their butts off to keep us safe and give KI a good name in safety. Failing to support them when it matters most shows them they aren't truly valued.

Moved this to its own thread.

Yep, even got a photo.

Agreed, micro analyzing back and fourth takes all the fun out of it. Posts that do just that just rile people up for no reason. Those posts will be removed and offending members issued a warning going forward.

It may not be as deep as "Look over there, they have an unclaimed coaster. Let's throw that in the park here to take attention off of TT2 in 2025". Alternatively, it would be ludicrous to say that they did not discuss this during their decision making on this addition,

It's the time of year again for pumpkin flavored everything. As the cooler weather moves in, you now have to find where you hid those jackets you put away where you would not forget. Spending more time indoors and enjoying the return of your favorite shows as they come put with new episodes. This all sounds well and good, but Kings Island fans have another thing on their mind.

The ghosts of a sunken pirate ship have returned to claim the treasure that is theirs! Dead men tell no tales...but they do want revenge! When the bells toll and the fog rolls in, BEWARE!

The best part "wooden loop".

Can we get word on the manufacturer so we know where to set our expectations?
