It's very interesting to see the amount of work that they do on Fury325 on Saturdays, as oppose to the work that wasn't done on Banshee on Saturdays. ...And yes, I know, different situation, different crews, different state, different ride. Although I'd like to think that this ride takes quite a bit longer to complete than Banshee, with 4,124 ft. of track vs. 6,602 ft. of track.

Wow.......Carowinds has put some absolutely GREAT photos on their Facebook page from today of Fury325 construction.

Wow! What a very interesting event. I'll be sure to stop in and try it out sometime. Hopefully it's very successful this season, enough so that it can return for many more seasons, and improve during each!

Check out the Live Fury325 construction cam if you have time, because it looks as if track is now being transported to the lift hill site for erection, and I'd guess, by the pattern of what they've been doing today, we might see that track erection happen soon!....Though maybe we wont see anything, my best guess is that more track is about to be installed. ...Not that you have anything better to do than possibly watch Fury325 track lifted into place.....

This was, to me at least, one of the most devastating things that has happened at the park in many years. The park, and its guests have lost something special, and this thing that many very people consider special, others might consider "simple" and yes, it is, but then again, it's still special. All one can do is hope that it is brought back and turned into something as special as it was before....... ....One day.....My friends....

So what did you ride the most times this year?
TheBEASTunchained replied to Miythandria's topic in Kings Island
I ALWAYS count, but for no other reason beside the fact that I think it's pretty fun, for my own benefit, to see how many times I've been on a particular ride. With that said, I've been on Banshee 63 times this season and 88 times on The Beast. During the 2014 season, The Beast was probably as smooth as I've ever remembered it (except in the morning ) , which is what led me to ride it so many times. I just couldn't believe how nice it felt this season.......So I got back in line.... -
Thanks for putting this together malem! It's pretty cool to see it all on chart like that and formatted with the different years and such.

"Killmart" Webcam moved to face 2015 construction
TheBEASTunchained replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
I'm hoping Kings Island upgrades to live stream web-cameras soon, as both Carowinds and Cedar Point currently have them. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to have any webcams to view at all, I'm just hoping that Kings Island gets some live cams because they seem to be a lot more fun to watch, and they would be really neat to watch as the Planet Snoopy upgrades take place and as Shake Rattle and Roll is reassembled. EDIT: Forgot to mention Holiday World also has 2 live-cams -

(Paramount's) Kings Island Action Zone Stunt Show 1999
TheBEASTunchained replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
I've watched this video many times, but never stopped in to watch the actual stunt show while it was at the park. I don't even believe that the show had a specific name, to be honest. As far as I'm aware it was just called the Action Zone Stunt Show. -

Amazing to see that The Beast looks just as good at 35, as it did at 5. The picture below, (presumably captured by Don) is by-far, hands down (or up in this case) the most beautiful photo I've ever seen of The Beast. All I can say about this photo is, Wow! @KingsIslandPR on Twitter: Photo : Don Helbig / Kings Island via Twitter For some reason, this photo just stands out to me as the BEST photo I've EVER seen of The Beast. **A special thanks to Don, or whoever from the Kings Island team that took this photo!
