Diamondback FOF

Peanut. Don't know why.

It'll be a long few days for Don I'm sure. Probably finishing last minute stuff on Wednesday, at the park at 4am on Thursday, there until what, midnight Thursday night/Friday morning, to then return Friday morning and be there most of the day? But hey, it's gotta be a wonderful feeling seeing everything come together and the park to reopen

Some employers make it physically impossible for a USB drive to even be plugged in.

I believe I arrived at the parking lot entrance around 8:00, was at the front gate by 8:30, running to Diamondback around 9:10 on opening day 2009. I plan on having a slightly different schedule this time around...aka allowing more time

Have you considered donating them to A Kid Again?

Possibly doing some night testing? The station and transfer area are lit up

The smoking area near BLSC/the restrooms facing Diamondback's splashdown are the ones that really bother me.

via KI's Twitter: www.twitter.com/KingsIslandPR I guess a ride doesn't have to complete all test cycles before having a human rider? Or did they already complete all test runs for one of the trains...? *hears a "Yes" echo off in the distance* Edit: see also: https://twitter.com/KIGMGREG/statuses/446323903548239873 for a picture posted by Greg Scheid

^^Sleep? What's that...? I'm starting to forget what a good night's sleep is...

I bet Don is enjoying everyone speculating

You don't know that it will be a huge announcement. The park announces much of what happens with its rides and attractions during the offseason on Facebook. They have said things about The Beast, Diamondback, Bat, Banshee, and shows on their Facebook page. I could easily see them putting together a short video showing off the work done to the carousel and the organ inside.

Well I was using Safari on a Mac. I just started typing in the post box

That same thing happened to me, but I copy and pasted something. It was weird because only half of what I pasted was messed up...

That's likely one over-priced family coaster...

Oddly enough, a visit to visitkingsisland.com can be very helpful. Gold Pass (new): $117 Gold Pass (renewal): $99 Regular (new): $106.50 Regular (renewal): $90 Gold passes are typically NO LONGER sold AFTER Memorial Day. Also, a different choice of font size could be a nice change

I was just thinking that this site was loading slower...and then saw this topic haha

ISTJ celebrity: George Washington, president and general

Drove by KI tonight. The lights on Banshee appear to be LEDs based on their brightness/how pure the white-ish blue light looked. I liked it.

I've always been able to see the slideshow. It disappeared a couple days ago

That's what I get on my computer. The header bar with "Home," "Forums," etc has a slightly different design I think...maybe. Also there used to be the "slideshow" thing that scrolled through like five pictures of happenings at the park. The ad at the very top is missing. Possibly a different typeface in areas too?

^^As of 11:30pm, the same thing is happening when I use Safari on my iPhone. The site looks fine on Safari and Chrome on my Mac. However, the ad at the top of the home page does not show up when I use Safari on my Mac, but does load with Chrome.

Not sure if its just me or not, but the home page hasn't been loading normally tonight, both on my Mac and iPhone. The format is odd with things in the wrong places and the color scheme slightly off I'd post a screen shot but that's too much trouble haha

I assumed it was the catch car thing that actually lifts the gondola locking into place.

If a company does not protect their Trademarks and be sure they're being used correctly, I believe they can actually lose that Trademark and it falls into the public domain. Meaning anyone or company can then use that name without restriction. Or something like that...

Banshee is most likely.
