Don't forget the whole focus of the event is for fans of the park to come enjoy being together. The rest is just a bonus. Don and Kyle do an awesome job of putting this event on and the popularity of the event shows that. Granted, maybe I'm partial because I met my wife at Coasterstock.

If you could ask Gravity Group a question about this project with the details we have already learned, what woud it be?

Per Don: Coasterstock 2022 will take place May 20-21 at Kings Island. Tickets will go on sale later this month. The exact date and time will be announced soon!

I am struggling to know what they missed with the autos? Gas station, bridge, pond with 2 fountains, signage that references old rides, and there is quite a bit of landscaping on the path. What else were your wanting them to do?

Totally agree. I feel they have really gotten in a good place. There is always room from improvement, but if we look at what has changed over the past 5 years, we can totally see how the current managements vision has manifested in the park.

What if this was the other way around and FUN was trying to buy SEAS? How different would the discussion be going at this point?

I was way more worried with the Six offer a while back than I am now.

They do work more with Intamin than CF. That would be a plus for the Intamin fans out there. That would probably be a long way off if this deal were to go through.

Sorry, accidentally locked the thread.

Um, wrong park!

Is that the official statement? That line made me laugh. I think I am most excited about the repaint of Racer with all we have learned so far about the 50th. What about the rest of you?

So there are 350 galleries we imported on the server. I have to get with @malem on the best method to import into the live galleries on KIC. I will get with Malem on the audio files and get them on a new page on the main site.

The photos have been imported on the server, we now have to go through them and integrate them into our galleries.

I almost made a post earlier saying I did not know DMX visited KI and had rode RFRLCB.

I agree with you, plus their methods were not that great. During the KI show, they were checking out WWC. They blamed everything out there on the trees and dismissed all accounts of reports. Not to say the trees were a factor in the "activity", but to totally dismiss the possibly of any real ghost activity reported by employees seemed very odd and disappointing. Maybe it was just me because that was the area I was hoping they would investigate the most besides the IR.

Here is the KIC gallery of RFYLCB, but did not see these light in any of the photos from the past. https://kicentral.com/photos/race-for-your-life-charlie-brown @TombraiderTy you have anything?

I hope the ride structure gets painted as well. Here is a pic from last year or the year before. I love seeing all the painting going on.

It has lasted this long, why close it now?

Baynum Painting pics!

With it blocked off for one side access now, half the queue is useless at this point anyway. A revamp is a good idea.

I think that will be a big hit for ticket holders.

I love the backstory of matching it with the brewhouse.
