Something is Surfacing 9-19-2024
DJSkyFoxx replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
The rumor is that they are going to tear down all of the Backlot Stunt Coasters and use their tracks since they held up so well with the water effects so old Premier it is! -
I wish they'd bring back the tasting cards. I remember they did it one year and it was awesome because it allowed one to save a little money while also getting to try multiple specialty foods. I like the sound of the offerings this year. I suppose we shall see how they look/taste.

Triple-launch water coaster -
I'd like to know if when the lantern activates at this point if the station lights up too. Only wondering since it appears that there is at least one prop of some gangly creepy body from the Wolf Pack days and since they put up some webbing in there, it would be cool if it lit up and did a howl or something. I guess we will find out this coming weekend what it does.

And then bring the Haunt lantern to Winterfest! A little Nightmare Before Christmas vibes

Joke's on us! Now that SIX is the other half of the company, they are going to pull out a page from the ol'playbook from their SFWoA days and put in TWO major installments in the same year! One in The Vortex plot and one in the SoB station!!! ( hard sarcasm here )

Add some whimsy to the spooky

I will say again. This speculation is fun! Nothing is ever a guarantee here, but man this is a good time seeing all of this activity. I think it bears mentioning again that if the old station were truly not usable, 1) Why would it have been left standing all of these years? It is, after all, a 24ish year old structure that has for all intents and purposes been standing without a real purpose for longer than when it housed the rebellious Son. I realize it was used as Wolf Pack for a few seasons but that has been retired some years back due to any number of reasons ( dip in popularity? building needing brought up to code? both? etc ) 2) Why would they be putting all of this recent work into the station if they didn't have something else planned for it? I am in no way saying they are going to absolutely build a coaster for it ( I sure hope so just like everyone else ) but there is definitely something they plan to do with it besides let it sit abandoned for another 24 years. Seems like a lot of effort just to let it sit when they could have easily just torn it down. This wouldn't be the first time in the park's history to re-use an old station of a problematic ride to house something else ie: the orignal Bat/Vortex While I think the concept of the RMC T-Rex is neat, I'm in the camp of wanting to see a ground-up hybrid as I feel that is far more fitting for a Son of Beast reboot.

You can always wear cargo pants if you don't mind that sort of fashion. Or a pair of jeans with deeper pockets. That's one way to avoid the whole bag debacle all together while still retaining your items on your person.

I might also add that at least ONCE a trip I hear someone bring up Son of Beast. I wish I was exaggerating, but I am not. Regardless of opinions of the ride during its time with us, there is still a great deal of interest in it. I for one hold a soft spot for it in my heart since I grew up with Son of Beast and despite how seriously vicious the ride was, I am glad I got to experience it as many times as I did over its existence. Regardless of whether any of these SoB related easter eggs means anything, its still fun to speculate!

I have #20/250 of the track slices from this guy but I would love to have one of the wheels too. I really love that they are playing into the lore of SoB. For someone that grew up with the rebellious son this is really special. And for those who are too young to remember/did not get to attend the park during his tenure, it creates conversation and interest. I look forward to seeing this stuff with my own eyes in a couple of weeks and if any of this leads to something more. I know that it probably won't. Maybe a new Haunt attraction at best, but if this is molecular possibility of a teaser for something more how incredible would that be?

Woman arrested at KI after breathalyzer showed .277 BAC
DJSkyFoxx replied to disco2000's topic in Kings Island
I'm really glad that the deputy caught her before she either hit and killed someone in the parking lot or made it out onto the streets to do the very same. -
I first off want to say I made the stupid choice of going to the park yesterday because it was an absolutely beautiful day, I had the day off and honestly I knew anywhere I had the idea to go to would probably be busy and or crowded with people, so I made the choice to go to the park for the last official summer season day. Boy I should have just stayed home. Place was absolutely SLAMMED. Even the Fast Lane lines were long. Longer than I've seen in a hot minute at least. I ended up skipping out on a bunch of rides because having been spoiled by just being able to walk right up to the platform of any ride or just about, I simply did not have the spoons to stand around for long dealing with the gobs of humans in every direction. On that note though, I am making this post for a reason. I want to give a big thanks to all the ride ops for the hard work they put in this summer and for working the massive crowd yesterday as best they could. The 6 rides I did decide to do in the 3 1/2 HRS I was there, ya'll did an excellent job making it work. I also want to give special thanks to the ops for allowing me to have my seat of choice when I politely ask for it and goodness I wish I caught the young man's name at Invertigo yesterday. I was a single rider and the line sep was going to place me in a row I did not want to ride in. After I told him I vastly preferred one of the end facing seats he saved row 1 for me and I was incredibly grateful for that. I not only prefer this seat for the view/ride experience, but with ANY invert, they trigger my motion sickness if I do not ride in the front. Not sure why that is, but if I can see the track and everything directly in front of me I'm perfectly fine. Any other seat just does something negative to me. I will tell any line sep I will wait the extra cycles for the front just so I can ride comfortably. As for traditional sit down/floorless inverting coasters I am perfectly fine to sit in whatever row, but inverts require a front seat ride for me not to feel crappy. Moral of the story, that young man did something that might seem small in the grand scheme of things, but it was huge to me. I love our park and our ride ops. You all have made my visits over the years special. And this season is no exception. I'm sure a lot of you will return for the fall/winter season if school and far travels aren't an issue. Keep up the good work and thanks again for being rock stars. Looking forward to an awesome fall season this year! I hope everyone had an amazing summer season.

Top Thrill 2 and Fastlane
DJSkyFoxx replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Just wishing them the best with getting the modifications made to where TT2 can have a successful season next year and everyone who wants to ride it can get a chance to experience it. I greatly miss the heck out of the OG TTD. I'm old enough to remember the announcement. The excitement and the insane thought of "how the heck is this even possible?!" I was a baby coaster enthusiast in high school during that time and I smile fondly at my formative years remembering such a mind blowing announcement. I have many many memories of this ride's growing pains over the years. Especially the first few years of her operations. Heck. Even into 2010/11 I can remember a lot of down time. Some of the funniest and most wonderful memories at Cedar Point revolve around this ride for me. I just want Zamperla AND CP to have their success next year. I want to experience this new iteration the way they envisioned it. Their success is a win for us as a community.
