Hum, I did not know this was a popular attraction at other parks. Thanks for sharing! Yes, I would love them to invest money into the existing rides and spruce up the place. When Morgan RV first purchased the place and painted the kiddie rides and water slides I was very excited that they were going to continue over the next several season and really get it looking good again. So far that has not happened. Hopefully they can get things looking new and not run down.

I don't see 200 to 400 vendors even showing up to an expected crowd of 1000.

I see what you are saying. The question is if the zip line, high ropes, and rock climb worth the $40.00. https://webhost.corecashless.com/indianabeach/ticketsales/?p=is12t4ym Unfortunately, I don't see this attraction brining in a lot of new business to the park.

I know you are kidding, but Dave's point is, unless there is a very big per caps spending going on, you are not going to make very much money.

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) http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/fun/webcams/index.cfm

Got me I hope they post some pics of this for I am not picturing the location of this right now!

I think I read their page wrong, it states 3rd park area, not parking area. I thought they were expanding into the parking lot. I am still not sure where this new attraction will be? The Steel Hawg Midway? I am assuming the entrance plaza they speak of is the one next to Steel Hawg?

I was really not expecting anything new from IB this season. I am very surprised they will be expanding into a parking lot even further. (Steel Hawg already took away some parking spaces.)

Plus, I would guess they are probably only sending out the ones that are cracked and tearing.

While we learn from mistakes like that, I firmly believe every accident is preventable. I agree, but we often learn the lesson to late!

Is that not one a few of those rotating signs as well?

But some choose to take the path that is easy, not right!

Since KI posted pictures of them arriving today, they must of had an easy route.

This is starting to get exciting. Can't wait to see them start putting these pieces together.

I'd like to know how they got Kinzel's comments in the first place. Is he friends of theirs? Seems he would be a little busy dealing with his own Q's.

The next concrete pour is happening now! The sun is in a really bad spot right now to see what is going on in the cam. http://www.visitking...bcams/index.cfm Looks like a crane is getting into position as well. EDIT: Nope, I think he is delivering the concrete. Sorry!

I am pretty sure that you can not drive a tandem trailer in IL. Meaning you can not piggy back 2 trailers behind each other behind your truck. Which is legal in IN. I have heard of people coming to Indy having to bypass IL and cut through KY instead. This may have changed over the last few years, but my point is as others have stated certain loads may have to take unique routes to get to their destination.

I always wear cargo shorts or cargo pants, with 2 ziploc bags. One has my wallet, Car Key, (the rest of my keys stay in the car,) and gets my phone when on a water ride and on DB. The other ziploc bag is in a separate cargo pocket and has a small piece of microfiber cloth to clean my glasses. This bag also gets my glasses when on a water ride. I keep them separate so they do not get scratched by the items in the other ziploc bag.

Did they drive in there with a few semi's or make a lot of trips? $20.000 in scrap is a lot of scrap. That amount will not fit in the back of a truck or even a car hauler trailer unless they found a lot of precious metal, which is also possible.

Here is the video on the site, would have been nice to get a close up, but still cool!

I have to hand it to Ed for his patients in waiting for state funding, but I am not sure that is ever going to happen. I also have doubts that if reopened it would attract enough visitors to make money.

I think you might be there by yourself. CP does not open for 2 more weeks after KI

No matter which park that's for, it's still interesting. Thanks for sharing I agree, appreciate the post!

Hard to believe Vortex is at end of life when I go to Indiana Beach and ride Galaxy and Tigrr. Two steel coasters a lot older than Vortex. Especially Galaxy.
