The orange looks almost pink, it makes me want to drink Pink Lemonade...

Don't let us stop you...

Webcam shot of Vortex paint job, looks nice!

Another article about Bizarro from Coasternews.net

Clcik Here!

It looks as though there are some new pictures up:

KI Diamondback Photo Gallery

Looks like they still have a lot of rocks to place if you notice the pile up by the storage platform.

Found a site that has some queue line art for Manta.

Click here!

I was hoping for at least the coverings that are similar to Delirium's queue line.

True, that queue is very nice. These look like the same ones from The Crypt?

Looks like shade tarps are being installed in DB queue. (Upper right corner)

And remember how Vortex looked before it got its fresh new paint job in 2002? It looked far worse than what Flight Deck currently looks. The dark blue supports were almost a light gray in some areas because they had faded so much.

Was it really 2002? Dosen't seem that long ago!

That is great. Vortex was my first real coaster, and to this day I still find it to be an enjoyable ride.

I remember in October during haunt they were painting the train storage area roof as you started up the stairs, but did not think they would repaint the whole track this year for it just got painted like 2 to 3 years back did it not?

Edit: I might be thinking of the supports not the track?

KIC couldn't begin to afford what it costs to rent the park for a day. And some company outings are busier than most normal weekdays.

Was a nice thought though. I guess we will take the free (for those of us with passes) Ride Warrior's weekend!!

From gum to buses, this site has it all....

Kings Island, where else?

Terpy, shouldn't that be www.KICentral.com, where else?

Contrary to what you said, I thought the pictures were very good. I especially enjoyed the pictures of Drop Tower and Eiffel Tower at sunset. I'm going to save them, if that's okay with you.

I loved the DB splashdown pics. I hope some grass grows back in soon, that will make DB look really nice!

Terpy, who has been and will be here all week...

No threats Terpy! Although, have you ever been gone?

Back on topic though, I think they would have only replaced restrains that need replacing. So I would say there might be a few more new ones, but not all of them.

Here is a POV for CC I found that was posted by CoasterNews on Twitter.

Time is passing now crazy fast!! And between finishing my tax filings (owning an LLC is fun, kids!), work being crazy busy (thanks crappy economy for laying off half my d*mn dept!), and family coming in for Easter...before I even blink next I'll be in KI's parking lot April 18th!

If I could seriously put the brakes on time now I would!! But wow...550+ days just like that gone by!! (since the 07 land clearing and First Drop article) That's some crazy sh#@!!

Yes, it has gone fast. I just hope the summer does not go so fast that I don't make it to the park as much as I want. See ya in a few weeks!

I don't see how that promise can be kept. No matter how well maintained something is, it is bound to break down from time to time.

^^Your answer can be found in this video of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade this year:

I was watching the parade with my mother when this happened. I got up and was flipping out because of how funny I thought it was. Then I had to explain to my mother what a "Rick Roll" was.

What happened to the red hair? I thought it was a gag not the real Alfred.

Is it just me, or is it nearly impossible to believe Invertigo is now ten years old, going into its eleventh season?!

I agree, I remember riding it it's opening year!!

Good Pictures! But I have to disagree with you about Lucas Oiler Stadium, the stadium is beautiful, and one of the nicest stadiums in the NFL, Plus ask almost any Indianapolis native and ask if it was a waste of tax payer money, most would say it's not. People in Indy take pride in there football and they wanted something new and fresh, and thats exactly what they got. How in the world is Lucas Oiler Stadium more ugly then the RCA dome? It's the ugliest building I have possibly ever seen.

That is weird, LOS being a waist to taxpayers is all I hear about. Most conversation and what the news reports are "We just tore down the RCA Dome, and we are still paying on it. It went over budget, we did not need a new building." I also hear they are having issues with upkeep and renting it out. All I hear is the negatives? I will say though it is a nice looking building and it put the RCA Dome to shame, but it is gone now.

Our second video is of The Beast - a POV from years ago. See if you can figure out the year.

I'm still digging through our archives and will post more if I find anything of interest.

My guess is 1984?

Thanks for the PTR. As you know by my screen name I live in Indy, but never have gone down town and enjoyed the scenery.

Looks cool, but I praobbly would not go even if it was local to me.

I bet they will plant some trees. The off ride rendering videos show a lot of trees as you ride. Just will take another 5 to 10 years for them to be as big as they are in the video.

EDIT: Just noticed I got promoted to KIC Junky!

No Admission fee into the park this Season.

Indiana Beach has revamped their site. Wasn't that well overdue? Looks great!
