Fear the Four

Just for safety. I talked to a ride op about this standing in line last year being the next person to go then they closed down the ride. He said he thought it was kind of pointless because where they set off the fireworks is pretty far from The Beast.

Diamondback-1 The Beast-2 racer-1 delrium-2 flight deck-2 Adventure Express-2 Son of Beast- 18 haha just kidding viking fury-2 blsc-1 and (rollback first train of the year!) Boo blasters-2 Surf dog-1 scrambler-1 Zephyer-1 shake rattle and roll- 1 kite catcher-1 Action theater-1 I got there around 8:40ish and left at ten. I wasn't in no rush either.

I think he needs to be more Selective with his posts.

I like there new uniforms. I wouldn't want to wear them though! Some things I noticed is your no longer aloud in the old queue line for Flight commander, I didn't see the lights on Diamondback's lift hill turned on until around ten, there is a new fence next to exit on Viking fury where people used to walk on frequently(I think the fence was there during haunt), the Dodgem exit is no longer at the other side of ride, on the park map the Eurobobbles are listed as Launch pad, The Eiffel Tower does not change colors right now, and the last thing I noticed was the Fountains turned blueish other then staying red. I only remember them stying red.

I waited around 20 mintues for my Blueberry ice cream. So worth it!

Nice pics! I totally forgot about my camera so I had to use my fuzzy picture taking phone.

I think something was not working right with train three on The Beast. I saw it in the shed after it opened again and all the covers for lap bars with the mechanical parts were all off. I never saw Delirium down. The crowds were a lot worse then last years opening day. Planet Snoopy brought out a lot of little kids.

1. My opinion I like Snoopy a lot better. 2. Only theming on the cars I saw were license plates. 1. Nope 2. Didn't see anything special other then the train just sitting there. 3. I actually loved it. 1.Its playing Spongebob 3-d. 2.The box is still there but the name is gone.

Gyro-Balls? Its a new attraction where the Eurobungys(I think thats what they are called) were. The new one is called Eurobobbles. It's a pool of water with balls you climb in and roll around in. Costs 8 dollars though.

When I was there this morning the trains were on the transfer track and the ride was closed. From what I could see, they looked the same. The ride had a roll back. I was on it in the front seat of the first train I know Kings Island's Back lot had license plates. Everything else was the same as Kings Dominion.

It valleyed I think. I never saw the red racer running all day. Around 8ish the blue side was stick on the lift hill. I saw ride ops going up the lift hill.

He probably got banned for a week or two.

I'm sure it will take more then a half an hour to get your allergy shots. It shouldn't be too crowded. Last year I thought the crowds other then Diamondback were small. The longest I waited for a ride last year was for Firehawk and that was about 45 minutes. I walked onto rides like Adventure Express and Flight deck.

What if it was empty? It would make people go to the park.

Today at school I was talking to someone about Kings Island and I asked him what is your favorite ride and he said...Vortex but its too bad there taking out. I looked at him like he was a idiot then he said you didn't hear? Someone fell out and got hurt because the of the ride sinking. All i did was say that rumor is only about ten years old and walked away.

They did add a menu. Ill be checking out the new pretzel shop on opening day.

From the 5@5...

You could ask about this in the 5@5. Or is this the entrance for the Launch pad?

Could be a new smoking section...

I like the new website. The new park map looks empty with Son of Beast. Looks like they also forgot to add Slingshot to the ride section.

I believe this link was posted in another topic.

I think Diamondback started being designed when Paramount owned the park. I remember hearing something that was in the newspaper when Paramount owned the park saying something big was coming to Kings Island. I think this was mentioned when Diamondback was announced at the media day. Someone correct me if I'm wrong that the lake was being drained in 05' or 06'?

Simply saying 'ooh' and 'ahh' at the number of kw needed to provide BLSC with power is not a good basis for a statement such as 'Could solar sytems be used for powering rides? No ' Yes, it sounds like a lot of power, but solar panels are quite capable of producing it. Those were examples I was using. There is no way to run a whole park off of solar panels. I'm sure rides like The Beast, Diamondback, Flight of Fear, The Racers, Firehawk, and maybe even the fountains use a lot more power then the rides I listed. Like CoastersRZ posted... Switching to Solar is not the best option. I Don't know where Kings Island can put a acre of Solar panels in. Beyond from center of the park all it is hills and valley's.

Don't they also have a ride just like the Flying Eagles at Strickers grove?
