  1. Opening Weekend is looking a little better as the days draw nearer.
  2. How big are the blind spots on trains? Possible he though that it was empty, especially if he looked away to wave.
  3. Well. I don't see why two weeks away from going to the park is a bad thing. So probably the 23 weeks since visiting Kings Island.
  4. You don't HAVE to buy Funpix if you don't want too. I believe they cost around $15? Could be wrong. Depends on the time of day. Could be $5 to $25 More excited to work than anything. Banshee, Firehawk, Vortex, Beast, Diamondback
  5. Let me just state something with the flaw on the Giga going over the entrance line with other CF Parks, or ANY coaster going over the entrance of Kings Island. There is just too many buildings next to the entrance on either side to place anything that's a coaster there, unless they moved the entrance back, but that would be bad since international street is perfect the way it is. The only true way a Giga or any coaster could fit for the entrance is shown in red. (The dotted red part is an underground part of the ride.)
  6. Today we get our first look of Opening Day (2016) Weather! Though it's not good looking so far, but we have two weeks! Kings Mill Weather April 16th 2016 via. Weather Channel --- In other news, Train #3 on Diamondback has been spotted ready to be loaded. via. DB Webcam
  7. I do believe that Banshee is about to begin testing. Edit: I'd be right.
  8. It will be certainly needed opening day and the first few weekends!Not with the previous Diamondback operators -CoasterGeek101 gasps in the distance- --------- I just found this rumor about Kings Island on Screamscape.
  9. I really hope they are putting the third train in soon... Because we only have 15 days until the park opens, and yet they're testing Diamondback with only two trains. Could it be because of stacking issues due to those seatbelts?
  10. Diamondback is waking up right now! Edit: Only to put it back in another section. What? Edit2: And then they pull it out again. Edit3: Now it's on the track.
  11. Good morning Vortex! Also, I do believe I see three trains in Storage on DB now.
  12. I mean, from what I see. It looks like there is new concrete right in front of the station, but the rest is still empty with dirt.
  13. Diamondback is testing today... but where is train three? Another thing to note, Are we getting some new brick paving, or some concrete at the Rivertown Potato Cake section? (The Potato Works and Funnel Cake patio is what I mean if you didn't get that fun little tape on the location name.)
  14. Not today... Hoping its just new crews but both KD and Carowinds were both slow dispatching on almost everything. They need to get their hustle up before peak season hits! Unfortunately, I-305 was the worst. Still waiting for it to dispatch. (It was closed all day yesterday) I question why you are talking about dispatch speeds on the first opening weekend... Plenty of people are new to the Rides Department in any park every year, as well as all other departments, which is why plenty of things are slow on opening day. While people get training, you still are new at the whole business of safely making sure all restraints and seatbelts are check and sending the train out. So yes, dispatching will be slow for the first few days. to weeks, maybe even the month of April. By the time it's June or July, those same people will be sending a train at a good targeted pace.
  15. Sling Shot is being tested right now. Delirium just tested a little bit ago.
  16. Drop Tower Testing https://www.facebook.com/KingsIslandExpo/videos/852748141520484/
  17. Games are getting new uniforms this year Instead of a white shirt with black stripes they're getting a black shirt with white stripes! "Sarcasm intensifies"
  18. Though it is probably best to let everyone know that it is in fact InvadR, The R was also capitalized when I saw the name.
  19. I think a lot of people are voting for InvadR, it is the more interesting name around. I personally like it.
  20. They took the trim off in mid 2014, after it was unnecessary and replaced it with a sensor so they can have 3 trains running at onceIt ran 3 trains since day 1.Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Not only that, But the Trim was always used. After they took the trim out, the second part of the ride was always a bit faster. You could never feel it because that's how great Magnetic braking technology is. You can't feel it.
  21. I had noticed it, and I thought I had posted a picture about it a few pages back, not sure where. But I was quite sure I mentioned a possible plaza by the new entrance.
  22. Hey guys.. This picture, https://www.instagram.com/p/BDGPXs0Em81/ Is that a new interactive map Across from Rivertown Larosa's Pizza?
  23. They're doing something with the Laser Maze (At least the location of that game.) (KIGames Twitter)
