Just out of curiosity......Do any of you here on KIC know how Carl has been doing lately? I'd love to know.

Yet another great video by CoasterBob62 was posted yesterday....This one was a video of the Banshee construction tour last Sunday with GOCC......

Good article about 2014's additions at Kings Island..... http://www.journal-news.com/news/news/ride-revamp-new-coaster-among-changes-planned-for-/nbfRm/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Happy Halloween from Kentucky Kingdom......But no candy.....Just a "Behind The Scenes" video of some happenings in the "paint shop".... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8VTuCDL-z0 (Video Courtesy of The Bigger, Better, Wetter, and Spookier New Kentucky Kingdom!)

While were all discussing the newly named Bat at Kings Island.....Take a look at some of the pictures in this discussion ^ above.....They're great views of the original Bat when it still existed.

Just asking because during my visit to the tower on Sunday I was talking to her and another attendant but she was telling me all about how much of an enthusiast her boyfriend is and that she knows "way too much" about Kings Island. Her and the other attendant at the top of the tower were genuinely nice people to talk to.

Did your girlfriend work in the Eiffel Tower?

I saw that one too. Has the guy been living under a rock all summer? I knew someone was living in the Cavern of Terror over in Rivertown.......

I know this may be too much to ask Don.....But is there a chance that the park might put up a webcam near "The Bat" to show its "progress"? (On another note.....This is GREAT news!)

Took my last ride of the season on Sunday at 4:30.....I slithered my way up the tallest, fastest, meanest* coaster at Kings Island for one final time....and then plummeted back down...a few times.

That could've also been thought by one that walked through Action Zone and noticed that the only thing standing where Son of Beast was, is its station.....Although now we all know that's not the case. (The former Son of Beast station will be used as a Haunt attraction this year and beyond)

......I believe that we will see the dive loop finished today, and possibly part of the "lift hill loop" put into place....

Opryland......But then again.....Most now just say Kong!........

Work is now being done to re-construct and paint the ride-op booth of Breakdance at Kentucky Kingdom..... Photo Courtesy of The New Kentucky Kingdom) ((Now the ride just needs a new sign.... ))

I have about 20 or 30 in my junk drawer. They're in good condition too. I also have at least 20 of 2011 Haunt maps, 2012 Haunt maps, 2012 regular season maps, 2012 CP maps, and 2013 CP maps I'll take a 2011,and a 2011 haunt map. Would you like a large Coke with that?

Very true, and the opposite of that is what is happening in today's society..... Times have changed.....And sometimes (most of the time) not for the better.....

There might be.....Try reading it.....You'll get the answers.... (or not) (I HAD to...)

I know...enough webcam pictures, but this one was a must-post.... Banshee...Sticking her way up through the fog!....

More early morning activity at the construction site.....

The first picture was taken a few months back.... The second picture was taken today..... Notice the upgraded color scheme on Giant Wheel. (Photo Courtesy of The New Kentucky Kingdom) Although it's looking good, work on the Giant Wheel isn't complete yet, according to Kentucky Kingdom.

Early morning moving of track and supports? Track and supports being unloaded? Can't really tell due to all the lights.....And the fact that it's 6:40 in the morning! But something is going on at the Banshee construction site....and back by the old trams (area)...
