^^Yeah, that was mentioned at the KIC event...green, red, and a gold-mix or something.
Thanks for the post guys!

How long has the skeleton of that ramp been there leading up to the station? I just noticed it.
I only noticed it this morning, but now it is more defined.

Looks like they are working on the entry/exit cueue. What do you think?

Should have been a link to a classic Rick Astley video
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you......

At the event, Mr. Helbig said that the trains had been in a hiding place on KI's property for a couple weeks, and they should be going on either by the end of this week or next week.
They should have thrown some pics up on the website of them. I guess we will see them within the next few days.

Well it appears that the fence between the midway and the splashdown is gone and they are putting up something between the midway the drop into the splashdown. I may be wrong though because it's kinda hard to see.
Actually after looking at it a little longer it does appear that smurf is correct in his assumption.
Probably don't have many options of things to do in this weather.
-
so what exactly are they doing in the spashdown today?
I dont know but there seems to be a lot of movement around there today. What is the Plastic covering over by the last helix. Is that a Port-O-Potty or the construstion of a new Beast entrance?

My bad!! My T is sticking on the keyboard. Maybe it's just wishful thinking but it does look like something is in there!

It was funny for I did not understand at first. I was thinking "rain" was some ride terminology that I had never heard before.

I would imagine around 200-300 riders will take part in the Charity Auction ride.
I think it will be a very sucessfull charity event!

Those are some good eyes if you can see rain in a shed from that cam.
Might want to add the T that fell off "Train" back.
We need a Zoom Cam to get a closer look!

I don't know, I've only been able to make out normal road-type cars near the station. Haven't seen anything that makes me believe the coaster cars are on the cam.
I don't see anthing either, but it looks like the snow is melting and making some interesting lines that colud resemble something new on the site.
I was looking at the web cam this morning; and it looks like there is some kind of rain in the storage shed , although it may just me needing to get my eyes checked!

Might want to edit your post and add your T that disapeared off train.

Actually, marketing years ago beat us both to it!
And it would be a truly grand thing to do again, at very little cost...except repainting a couple of times during the season. You'd be surprised how quickly those footprints wear!I remember those!
-
I know a lot of people are asking for The Beast with old banking,no tunnels etc.
So here it is!
That was way cool.. Thanks!

Which rides do I miss the most? Phantom Theater and Tomb Raider. There's just something about themeing that get's me every time.
I do miss the Tomb Raider theme and it's effects of the now Crypt, but they definetly spiced up the movement of the ride in it's transition.
-
However, my question is whether it's for 4 specific people, or if I can pay 5 dollars less and bring along friends?
It would be for specific people when you go to pick up your pass. They will take a pic of the person that will be using the card the first time and will verify your pic on your way into the park each visit. So the first person to use the card wil be the owner of the card

It has been stated repeatedly that track work is complete, more than likely that includes any actual track work, whether related to storage or to the circuit itself!
I am guessing whether it is actual track, or another device to remove stress on the wheels as discussed, it looks like something is there. Maybe they just did not paint it red so it looks like it is not complete. This would be a good question for the people going on the tour.
Anyone get an answer to the storage track for DB who was there Saturday?
-
I was laughing too hard to think about it, but it didn't hurt so you're probably right. The most memorable experiences on that ride were seeing The Beast splash through a puddle at the bottom of the hill between the brake shed and the tunnel, and being splashed in the face with a curtain of water exiting the first trip through the helix tunnel. I loved every minute of it.
I hope I dont dream about ridding in the rain with the pin pricks in the face tonight. I want sunny weather for my dreams!

BTW...I'm not just talking rain shower...I'm talking POURING. It was the day that they closed early last year due to the weather and lack of crowds. I got two rides in a row even with single train operation.
I bet that almost felt better than a moderate rain and the drops feel like needles on your face while ridding. It was always nice to ride the backwards racer when it was raining to avoid the pin pricks.
-
Share some with me, would you? Not having any this off-season is starting to tick me off. It keeps the withdrawals to a minimum.
LOL! I know. Mine don't stop till I get on The Beast for the first time of the season.
Another dream that I had a lot before last season started was that they turned The Beast into a water ride. Same train, (it seemed) but the track was underwater and rode more like a log ride. Although a smooth ride, it was just not the same. I sort of wonder if I was dreaming about DB. I am sure DB will be a smooth ride and has the water splash at the end? Although, the ride in my dream still has a wooden structure...
-
I was there only once at SFKK about 5 years ago. I was not impressed. Waterpark was nice though!
-
Unfortunately I haven't had any dreams that are KI related this off-season. It's starting to aggravate me. I had them nightly for all of December and part of January last year.
I am so glad to know I am not the only one who dreams about KI so much. Thanks!

They say that if you have a falling dream, if you actually hit the ground in your dream, you'll die XD My little brother lives in constant fear of it, it's kind of funny.
I was in a conversation with a buddy of mine the other day and he actually has had dreams where he dies from falling. I have dreamed of falling and hit, but have never really "died" in the dream. My buddy lived to tell me about his, so reassure your brother it is ok.
-
The last dream I had was that they moved all the wooden coasters to Coney Mall. They had one big queue for all the coasters and you split to which ones you wanted to ride once you got close to their station. Seemed like a good idea, but was a big mess. The idea was terrible, for there was a 3 to 4 hour wait for your ride. Maybe I was there on July 4th weekend or something?

I remember a dream that I had praobbly about a year ago. I was in the park, but it looked nothing like KI. I am trying to find The Beast and kept getting lost. Ended up ridding some steel coaster that I have no idea what it was. It was fun for what it was though. I never made it to The Beast. To bad they did not have those Beast Paws painted on the midway...
