Less weight per train and I'm not sure but with less weight wouldn't it use less electric launching? I have no idea if that's the case or not!
-
Heard from a friend who is the park today, the entire last car is tied off at Flight of Fear. So capacity has gone from 20 riders per train to only 16 per train. I think we know now why it's no longer a Fast Lane ride!
-
The other thing I was thinking too, are they running Flight of Fear with both trains or are they only running one train? That could be another reason as to not offer Fast Lane. Please keep us updated!

SF Gadv's Zumanjaro now has an opening date
PKIVortex replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
It's an Intamin I expect it to have it's up and downs pun intended. -
Very Interesting to say the least. If the ride has reopened I wonder why they decided to not offer Fast Lane on it anymore. My only guess is the capacity already isn't very good on Fight of Fear so they are trying to improve how fast the line moves? Cause funny thing is it just became Plus after the season started and now it's not Fast Lane anything.

You can if you pay the difference between the normal parking price and preferred.

The height issue wouldn't be a problem if the Ride Ops are doing there job to begin with.

Rowdy teens who there parents think Kings Island is a baby sitting service. Or how about constant train stacking on rides such as Vortex just to name one.

Well tickets hasn't included Kentucky Kingdom since 2009 anyway right? Since the park has been closed.

Didn't Cedar Point try Automated spiels a while back? And then decided to go back to the ops making the spiels to do more guest interaction?

Sorry to say but that guy is Annoying I'm glad he is enjoying his job but it feels like to that he is screaming into the Mike, not my cup of tea.

Shake Rattle and Roll has been down longer than a week. It was closed on June 8th when I was at Coasting for Kids.

weather.com is saying a high of 89 with a 30 percent chance of isolated thunderstorms. We are still few days a way so the closer to Monday we get the more accurate the forecast will be.

Prices may vary on the weekends! I have seen the price for standard lockers as high as $15 on a weekend.

Lorax's Worlds of Fun / Six Flags St Louis 6/21-22, 2014
PKIVortex replied to LoraX's topic in Trip Reports
I see Twisted Twins trains from Kentucky Kingdom! -
A couple of years ago I mentioned to an Adventure Express operator of the thump thumping noise I kept hearing from my seat, it was a bad road wheel, and I reported that, and they basically said yeah I'm sure and walked away from me, later on we rode again in the same seat and the same thumping noise again. So that just really turned me off to the whole thing of saying something.

And those sounds you'll never forget. I brought strange noise to the attention of the Magnum crew Sunday morning. They test rode several times and even in my seat. And sure enough they were an issue. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

" I said we can ride Banshee, won't you come and work along with me". I love that line! Kings Island is a fun place to work, I put in three seasons at Kings Island under Paramount Parks, it's not as easy as some think but I have some great memories working at Kings Island.

Awesome Video Great job!

Backlot Stunt Coaster Special Effects Removed
PKIVortex replied to Italian Job 2005's topic in Kings Island
Could the fire effect not being used have anything to do with the high cost of Propane right now? -
Yep I'm a bigger guy and I rode Diamondback for the first time with seat belts during the Coasting for Kids event, and I didn't have any problems.
-
Think it may be time for the entire thing to be rewired, and I heard "rumors" that it could be possible the ride to be closed the rest of the season, I hope not I haven't even had a ride on it yet this year. I hope this is not the cause.
