I'm just hoping we don't see the stuffed "Gatekeeper" birds this year as a prize...... ......Maybe they'll migrate back to Sandusky......

Activity this morning in Action Zone...... (Image captured from Kings Island's Banshee Construction Cam)

Whether or not "Dive-In" movies will return to Soak City has not yet been announced.

Nice pictures. Glad you and your wife enjoyed your visit.

It looks like queue construction is underway this morning at the Banshee site. A cement mixer is under the lift hill where the queue line is supposed to be placed and it also looks like there is another near the brake run. (Image captured from Kings Island's Banshee Construction Cam)

You should definitely try to ride Dominator if you get the chance. It is a superb B&M.

I was under the impression that the plan was only to focus on making a great water-park..... But after reading Dan Koch's Twitter page today....... .....I'm glad I was wrong....... A series of tweets about the Rampage roller coaster told me otherwise...... @SplashinDan on Twitter : "Wicked finish into the station on Rampage! Whoa!" "Complete re-track needed. Coaster cats! We call it like we see it! Where is my hammer?" "Trains need TLC too! We can get this animal going. Stay tuned. Not opening soon but it will open." "Rampage is very fixable. Need a chain gang to emmm fix the chain!" "I love Rampaggggeeee!!!!!!!!" All of the photos and tweets above belong to Dan Koch and were found on his Twitter page. All of the photos and above can be found here.

2 train testing is underway right now on Banshee......

Firechaser Express off-ride video by CoasterForce: This video really shows that contrary to popular belief, a coaster doesn't have to be the tallest, fastest, or a record holder, to be a fun and enjoyable ride. Can't wait to get to Dollywood this summer!

There has been quite a bit of activity this morning at the Banshee site...... (Image captured from Kings Island's Banshee Construction Cam)

Wow! You shoudln't have told me that...... .....Now I'm starting to get hungry..... ....I'll really have to stop in at Der Dutchman next time I'm in the area......Which is hopefully soon.....

Just because a train is sitting still on the lift hill does not mean it is "stuck". As Devarious said above, it is most likely a part of the testing phase. Every single time a coaster train is sitting on a lift hill, it seems like the first thing that pops into everyone's mind is, "It's Stuck!!" .....Which is usually NEVER the case.

Nice part 1 of the PTR, and by the way, What kind of food is served at Der Dutchman? I've never heard of it, but it sounds like a good place to eat!

......And there she goes....... .....Screaming through a loop.... (Image captured from Kings Island's Banshee Construction Cam)

Circle, Circle, Circle.......I should go head for cover.......

@KIGMGREG on Twitter : The above tweet can be found here.

Banshee Media Day - April 17th Kings Island Opening Day - April 18th Those are two good dates to go and get photos of Banshee, for all of you who are wanting to see Banshee in action. It's only about one more month, so I believe that most of you can be patient.

Real-life compared to rendering..... (Rendering found at the KI Banshee website, Here.) Slightly different angle in both of the pictures, but they still make a pretty good comparison.

EDIT: Fixed
