A nice little interview done with Mr. Ouiment.

I was following the deconstruction of the old building to this and they pretty much threw this puppy up as quick as they did it! Been looking at lots of pics of Universal in general and their is construction going on EVERYWHERE on the Universal side of the park! side note: Just hope their Halloween event is better this year... Lets just say it was at pars with KI's Halloween Haunt (not that KI's is bad but usually Universal's blows everything else out of the water).

I think if the next ride is a roller coaster and is the fastest in the park (possibly longest?) I would call it something like The King's Throne. I would change The DA! to the King's Lost Island. I would like to see some rides take use of the parks name.

As of 2012 I have seen WS open for fireworks. Side tracking but anyone ever see WS running opening day? I was their never saw it running and also never even made it back by it, so if it's in a million pieces, I didn't know that lol.

I would love to see a backwards racer again! In other news I've seen swarms of bees today! It was pretty much every 10 feet I walk their was another 2 bees. Seen a few packs of 5-10 bees.

I came to KI at 4pm and FL was empty, their was a 5 min wait at most I seen for FL for both DB and FoF. they were getting run though the line constantly.

Anyone in line for Fast Lane (at least what I seen) was ran before anyone in the normal line which made the wait MUCH worse on FoF and DB. (only two rides I got to ride). We were next to get assigned a row on DB and their was a steady stream of FL and everyone went before us which added right around 10 min more of waiting. it was probably 5 trains full of FL before we got a assigned row! I hope it doesn't stay this way all year! We were just barely out of line queue for DB and waited 2 and 1/2 hrs! On the flip side FL would of been worth it, opening day!

It will be a carousel that is dragons and spits fire. It rotates at 50mph while in reverse and it will be playing the Brady Bunch theme song. It also poops cotton candy. That‘s just my guess... I hope im not wrong!! Source: Dip N Dots friend that lived in Mexcio then moved to Canada and Skyped his parents for information.

FoF had no music or lights on in the actual ride part and still has seatbelt thing. Oh the wait sign for the ride was themed to the ride. I'm not sure if it was that way last year or not?

Lets see if Ouimet is still leaning towards a Disney approach or if he has changed off that path... A new indoor roller coaster would be great!

Has their been many ride break downs/downtime today? I know KI has had a bad history of this in the past... Will be coming probably around 6pm today!

Why must opening day be so far away!? I have to wait till then to see if this rumor is true...

High of 66°F with 20% chance of rain...

For another great season!

Looks like 62 deg, cloudy, 30% chance of rain for Saturday... hope for no rain or some in the morning and that would probably thin out crowds.

The 41st opening day took place in 2012.... whoops.... I fixed that.

How long do you guys think the wait will get for DB and or The Beast (or any other ride)? I think the max wait for the day will be 90 min during day and that night 120 min (downtime is NOT counted) for both DB and The Beast. After opening day we can all report back are highest times we seen on April 27th 2013. "Happy 42st annual opening day! May they odds ever be in your favor!"

I say and hope he does individual ride theming first, bring back full effects to BLSC, maybe some lasers in FoF (inside ride) were it looks like aliens shooting back and forth, upgrade the tv's and have the video redone into HD for FoF (their is software to upgrade video quality), make some upgrades to Boo Blasters (especially the guns!!! get some where you can see where your shooting), then add more special effects to AE, add a time vorad at the end of The Racer to show who really won (start timer when they are dispatched and ends right before break run and is displayed on a tv monitor for both sides. Now to overall park theming, make each area feel more themed. like AZ make it feel like walking onto a movie set, give River Town more of a western feel, make International Street have some foods/shops from around the world, turn the fountains into a show at the end of the night, sync it with the fireworks and have water projectors of the parks history, slowly redo the parking lot or make it into a garage, (which could free up space for a coaster(s) or other rides), allow for company's to come in and allow guests to do taste testing and try new products and in exchange for the guest(s) time they will get some KI bucks (1 KI buck= $1), have workers dressed as tourists (camera, funky clothing and bunches of souvenirs on them (universal does that), have a scavenger hunt where guests have to go around and find different stuff throughout the park and have to get picture and write down answers on a piece of paper and then give the family free access to DA or a small ice cream*, last but not least workers will have a different uniform depending on what section of the park they work in. These are a few ideas I have that I think would make for a better day in the park. to help cover the expense raise the prices of gold and regular season pass another $5. Most of these things are not to hateful of a price, it would give for a more exciting visit to the park. *up to 4 free DA tickets or ice creams. DA or ice cream vouchers must be used that day and ice cream voucher not valid with 3rd party ice cream companies.

4th and final container, i'm going out on a limb here but i'm thinking more dinos... http://via.me/-b7h37ne

I asked a while back on the 5@5 if KI could have the world's first 500ft tall coaster? Answer was no because of near by airport(s)

"Track two is no longer in use, and has been permanently... abandon" - Station Master Never thought of it as a hint.

Got to drive a Antique Car ounce, but replacement was good, but man I miss them...

I do understand what your saying, but most rides were left and not even touched, a very select few were taken apart and scarped or reused. Question time, was the whole park even underwater or just parts of it?

One thing I do find odd is the Six Flags in New Orleans, they didn't scrap nothing from the rides or take any ride parts. most theme parks i've seen abandon reuse or scrap stuff but it is left the way it was before the storm... The rides still don't look all that bad either! Also i've seen this tree somewhere else...
