Nevermind

I cannot really see the park let anyone besides COASTERFORCE, ThemeParkReview, SharpProductions, Etc, record or take photos while on the ride in any manner. From prior eye-witness accounts while at the park of how strict they are about those rules (with good reason) I just can't see them letting you. Although if we were to add a "POV" section to KICentral.com then maybe we could have you or someone else get permission to record all of the ride POV's and put them on the site...... (Just some ideas)

By the way Hart has been talking about Twisted Twins, it seems like something like that could very well be one of his ideas, He does seem to be thinking big for Twisted Twins. Maybe one day TT will recieve the glory it never got.

Another article about the reopening of KK http://coaster-net.com/news/2026-kentucky-kingdom-reopening-date-revealed/

I think I get the most out of riding with complete strangers, because were all there to have fun so why not ride with people you don't know and meet new people? In my opinion its just pretty cool to get to ride with unknown park guests and step out of your comfort zone a little bit.

At least Hart and his team do seem to be ready to give the needed TLC to revamp the park.

Cedar Fair seems to see Kings Island as one of the most profitable and popular parks that they own besides Cedar Point, which would lead me to believe that they would hold on to KI as long as they could if they were going through hard times.......If they were in a situation where they had to get rid of one of the parks they own I could see it being more likely to discard Michigans Adventure......

Thats true and what this "future expansion" actually turns out to be could actually be what everyone least expected........

I'm not sure I would be okay at all with this type of thing......Good thing that KK might re-open....... And like coasterfanatic said, 10 cents to ride The Beast??

^ Hopefully Hart wont find too many more problems than the ones he already knew about.

"WAY" too early? Like "SoB" said, Its never too early to start talking about The Haunt

http://jdrfswo.org/events/walk-to-cure-kings-island Found this earlier about "Walk to cure" at KI this year......

I'm just wondering if Terp is just stoking the offseason embers or actually means something by this. No offense to you, Interpreter, but I am hopelessly lost in your clues. It is, however, making me think big for Kings Island 2013. Thinking big for Kings Island in 2013? How about 2014?

Kings Island Racer off-season improvements..... Via Facebook Quote Kings Island Facebook "Carpenters spent today working on a section of track near the bottom of the first drop of The Racer roller coaster. In addition to track work, bent posts, batter braces and ledgers have been replaced this winter on the 41-year old ride. More than 97 million guests have taken a ride on The Racer since it opened in 1972, the most in park history. Its record year was 1976, when a park record 3,681,338 rides were given."

A picture posted on FB an hour or so ago by "Save Son of Beast" of the Action Zone water tower getting shipped to Jungle Jims.....

Another possible hint or accidental hint could be that KI's webcams have been down for about a week or more and that they deleted the comment section of their FB page.........All of that could mean nothing, But it could also mean something......

You could see Son of Beast from everywhere in the park--Oktoberfest, Coney, even as far as Rivertown.Removing a ride in plain sight could also be good publicity. Turn the news into a "what's next?" sort of scenario. Well, There are those who will notice a difference in the sky when KI opens and look up to realize that a big wooden structure isn't towering over them, and there are the other people who will go up in the Eiffel Tower and look down to see big footprints and ask what the cleared land is for. Then in the end there are those who wont notice a change at all.

Great photos of The Beast, I love to see those old Beast photos because they bring back some memories of my favorite ride in its younger days.

The webcams on the site have also been down a few days.....

I was on the website a few minutes ago and checked in here to see if anybody else had noticed it and I guess you guys have too.

Does anyone have a link to a video of the press confrence?

No, that's a great song!! It gets me so hyped for DT. My change would be for Flight Deck to receive a paintjob similar to The Bat's and rename the ride "Revenge of The Bat." I completely agree!! I don't think the music on Drop Tower should be changed, It has grown onto the ride in my opinion and it adds to the ride expirience.

Yes I'm ready, and I'm always looking forward to The Beast most of all.

My first ride on FoF was kinda unexpected as it still is in a way. I did happen to be listening to what the ride attendent was saying and heard them say to keep my head back, So at least I did that. The most thrilling part is launch through the first tunnel to me.
