  1. The Beast's second tunnel is always interesting as most of the sound vibrates off the walls. It scared me during one particular night ride as The Beast roared through the tunnel. EDIT: Oh, and in the last part of the double helix, it always feels like the train is trying to be ripped off the track by being pulled in the opposite direction of the turn.
  2. Great trip report! The KICer we ran into on the way to Vortex was Armentrout (I didn't know him prior, I just remembered his name from Saturday). Also, thanks for referencing my theory- #hoennconfirmed is all I will say lol!
  3. I like how Fury 325's footprint is grafted into the satellite view in such a way that the attraction's name and a photo icon is "displayed" on the map. If you didn't see/pay attention to the clear breaks between the image of Fury and Kings Island, one might think that there is a new giga at the park! In all seriousness, though, I don't recall seeing stakes out by the fort when riding the train, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right places.
  4. Random question: Where did you get that awesome shirt? Also, I believe that "Big Apple" sign behind you is from Kenwood Towne Center.
  5. Opening Day was a blast- Kings Island is officially open for weekends only (except for today!)

  6. I noticed this a bit too. When in line for Beast, I saw some new "Beast Containment Area #" signs that I thought were a nice touch.
  7. @stashua123: I believe that the guy in the grey next to Thrill Biscuit is Dr. Zhark. By the way, yesterday was a blast, the highlights being the Banshee rides (all three times for different reasons), Beast, one of the musical numbers in Hollywood Nights (I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen the show...) and walking through Dinosaurs Alive. And that Skyflier ride was memorable, too
  8. Good Morning all; it's here! Kings Island's Opening Day is today! Park opens @ 10 and I will see some of ya'll at breakfast! :)

  9. I'm thinking an RMC hybrid because of the falling trees signage- it could try to be billed as a "wooden" coaster It could also be very possible that it is an actual wooden coaster. Other possibilities could include a Wild Mouse or S&S Free Fly (because I watched that Coaster Studios video and for some reason, when I saw the teaser, I immediately thought RMC or Free Fly) And thanks Goble for starting this thread; happy speculatin'! EDIT: I forgot to mention I also thought of Camp Snoopy when I saw the picture of the signs because of the proximity to Planet Snoopy.
  10. Oh my gosh! And so it begins... can't wait to see it tomorrow after my early morning flight on The Bat!
  11. Less than 24 hours until Opening Day 2016! :D

  12. 1 more day until tomorrow... i'm currently wearing my Banshee shirt; I wore my Storm Runner shirt yesterday and my Great Bear shirt the day before... I am so ready to be back in the park!
  13. 1 more day until Kings Island opens for 2016 (and less the 24 hours for those going to the Season Pass preview night!)

  14. 2 more days (and 1 more day for those of us who are enjoying the sneak peak tomorrow night!)

  15. Wow, I just remembered walking by KCKC with the fence up for what would become Tomb Raider: The Ride; thanks for jogging my memory, Italian Job 2005!
  16. No... not #Yoloflume (I've so nicknamed RFYLCB because of that amazing Closing Day ride a few years back!)!? In all seriousness, I thought of another possible idea for 2017... a wild mouse coaster, perhaps? It could be a family coaster and the location is so close to Planet Snoopy that it could work. Then again, I'd welcome a custom RMC in that spot too... or maybe some flats, who knows?
  17. 3 more days... :)

  18. 4 more days until Kings Island opens four 2016! I'm so excited for breakfast at Frisch's and enjoying The Bat a few hours afterwards :)

  19. 5 days until Kings Island opens for 2016!

  20. Interesting video; those pillars on that one turn remind me of a similar element on Adventure Express. However, I don't know if I like all the side-to-side motion as it reminds me of what I don't like about Thunderhead.
  21. 6. more. days. :)

  22. One week until Kings Island opens! Who is ready to ride? :)

  23. Good stuff, I hope to get down there this summer for Fury and Nighthawk. Did you get a chance to ride Nighthawk?
  24. Thank goodness, I woke up this morning and was like really, there's snow? Hopefulle it will warm up soon; 1 week!
