Don’t post this kinda stuff. It gives them ideas.

Im willing to bet B&M recommends daily track and support inspections. How it is executed is entirely up to the owner. Much like owning a car the manufacturer recommends when and what oil to get during changes but ultimately it is up to the owner to decide.

I would’ve preferred a cloned Fury 325, compared to the “giga” we received.

I do like the open style seating vs the dog crates. However the traditional enterprises are much more forceful, and they don’t have the goose being ran over by a car noise either.

They should’ve cloned Fury 325 and themed it Orion.

I don’t mind cloned things so much as far as flat rides go. When it comes to coasters it’s more situational for me. I would say no for the majority of coasters but if it’s something small they should at the very least be themed and called something entirely different.

The Orion queue hits you with these bangers. Gets you all worked up for what you would think be a world class ride. Then you actually ride the ride. In true Kings Island fashion with Mystic Timbers and Adventure Express how anti climatic.

Camp Snoopy is receiving some attention at Knott’s. I’m thinking with all the flat ride additions CF rolled out to a lot of the parks this season. Maybe next season they do something similar chain wide for the Peanuts areas. https://screamscape.com/html/knott-s_berry_farm.htm#CampSnoopy

You don’t actually have to get a new card when you upgrade or downgrade. All they info on your account is linked to the QR code that is on the card. Last year my friend upgraded his gold pass to platinum online, he never did change his card out till this season. What he did get was a lot of interesting looks at the gate when we visited CP last season tho.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people stealing food from the food stands lately. Seen this multiple times at Rivertown Larosa’s and most recently today at Island Smokehouse. Maybe I’m missing something or this must be a new food hack. I.E. Don’t actually pay for your food, just walk pass the register with an employee who doesn’t look like they will confront you about not paying.

I’m starting to think CF needs to pull a Disney and have Ouimet back at the helm again.

Let’s change the name from platinum pass to passport and hopefully capitalize on the boom with Americans traveling abroad. Maybe people will now actually visit our other parks, or something like that…

I can definitely see the park cutting fireworks other than on weekends and holidays and sticking with a drone show. From what I’ve heard from most people that’s all they talk about during the night shows.

Probably just came down to who was willing to work on TTD. I’ve heard Copperhead Strike was underwhelming, after riding it I agree with that statement. Orion is underwhelming yet Canada’s Wonderland is heavily flirting B&M launched wing coaster for its next addition. So who knows what the chain is thinking. All we really know is that it won’t be Intamin.

I’m not begging for any one type of coaster or ride manufacturer. I just hope the park builds the best coaster coaster for the money with the budget that they have. Budget coasters underwhelm.

Out of respect for Don. How about we keep this thread on topic about remembering positive stories about him and not about Chad.

Might as well leave it the color as is. It’s what the do with their wooden coasters am I right?

Even tho we just got 2 this season. Kings Island still lacks on the flat rides. Personally I wouldn’t want a Larson loop. I’d personally like to see a Zamperla Air racer or Gerstlauer Sky Roller. Either would make a great addition to Area 72.

Rumor is, it had a quackin’ good time.

Fury 325 has a crack, Millennium Force has a quack. -Reddit.

Further investigation on the broken support will commence once it is taken down. https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/local/carowinds-fury-325-roller-coaster-crack-repair-cranes-support-beam-replacement-charlotte/275-93109968-e293-456b-a357-4761d1f69882

I for the love of Kings Island hope if we do get an RMC they will stay away from the metal detectors in line. That has to be the single worst idea anyone has ever come up with. Completely puts me in a bad mood before I even get on the ride. Iron Gwazi > Steel Vengeance.

I know I’ve stated before an RMC lift hill from the SoB station could clear Banshee but maybe we’re looking at the wrong direction.

Right! Or you do vote for the type of coaster you want. You get the coaster you voted for but it underwhelms because of the budget the park has.

Well this takes any anticipation and fun out of what the next coaster will be. 2/3 chance it’s gonna be a B&M Winged launch coaster. I honestly don’t want a voting system for rides. I much rather see what the park can come up with on its own with the budget that it has. Kings Island would have probably never have gotten such an amazing coaster with Mystic Timbers if people were able to vote.
