Diamondback FOF

Oh wow! I wonder what's up...

Oh, and as always, you can call guest relations at 513-754-5700 for any questions, comments, concerns, etc haha

I took it as only Saturday and Sunday will have a large fireworks display.

Oh well....that's no good

http://www.wlwt.com/video/28312465/detail.html Is that the news report you saw? That's the only I can currently find on their website. If that's the one you're referring to, I didn't hear what you did...

Ok so I'm not the only one who things Diamondback shakes a lot? haha It isn't rough, just very....shaky! I find that to be worse in the back, as the front is pretty smooth

Well that's an issue. I was at the Reds game a couple days ago and slices of pizza they sell are HUGE and for about that price. I wasn't sure if it was the low 5's or higher 5's...you gave the less pleasant answer

Oh okay, but even 8 bucks is pretty good. Doesn't KI charge like 5 bucks for one slice? Or is it for two? If it's for two, KI has a better deal than Coney!

Wow, it'd be nice if KI could have a deal even half resembling that!!

Huh, I wonder why they werent returned?

It's been stated many times that SOB has been cleared to reopen by the State but that the people in power at Kings Island and within Cedar Fair are not happy with the ride experience on SOB and that is why it is not open. Whether or not that is true is not known... I'm Pro-Son of Beast here, just stating that unfortunately, RaptorGuy is correct. The trains are visible on Google Earth and from Adventure Express, out in the open. They have been out in the open for 2 seasons now A very sad sight to see. Check it out on the last few turns of AE,through the service road under SoB. They are sitting there, likely dead Google Earth isn't reliable! Who knows how old those images are! haha But if you can personally see them sitting out.... :/

I was so miserable that I actually left after only a couple hours!

omg I saw this happen once last year! It was pretty cool to see the lifeguard in action

I usually wear flip flops or sandals to the park during the summer Occasionally my feet will be a bit sore, but that could be part of the running I do...and the only other issue is my foot might get a bit irritated from one area on my flip flop, but sandals shouldn't have that issue I would imagine board shorts would be comfy enough. Another option is a thin pair of athletic shorts, which usually dry pretty well...DON'T wear cargo shorts tho!

omg thats awesome!! Was the Indiana Jones music at the beginning??(or soemthing of the sort....can quite figure it out). I kinda doubt theres a ride like that here...

So yeah, as others have said, WindSeeker was testing today at what appeared to be full speed for a good portion of the day. The gondola gets up the tower very FAST!! I was amazed. Also, I don't think it looks 300 feets tall when standing under it looking up....obviously it is but still haha There was music playing but I didn't ever hear Harry Potter music Also, I asked one of the ride ops about it...he said they were still trying to finish up test (DUH!) and were looking to open the ride sometime next week (take it for what it's worth as it may not be the best info) Edit: I wonder if this will be the ride cycle...if so, I'm disappointed it's only at the top of the tower for about 20 sec but whatever, at least you'll be 300 feet up for a little while

As said in this thread (http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23977&st=0&p=430835entry430835) and the KI WS one...

Oh wow, thanks for sharing!!

yup as stated in this thread.... : http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23358&st=0 right here.

Wow this is awesome! I wonder how crowded it'll be? Hopefully the weather cooperates...

Yes, they would likely need to remove it at some point. But maybe not now, or soon even! There's a lot to do if they do something, so I don't think they'd be 'tip toeing' around Should a 2012 Rumor Thread be made? haha

Yeah, I, too, remember watching that on the news when it was originally made haha I listened a few times....I never heard him say wooden

I definitely agree with you. And since no one has mentioned seeing any signs of site work, idk about that new ride being a coaster like many people would hope (and I'd think an announcement would be late summer and we've seen no teasers). Idk...hopefully some part of that is true...I'm not getting my hopes up

I didn't realize any of the dummies had legs...haha

Yes it is. That attraction, Wolf Pack?, was added last fall. And can be easily removed.
