Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
gforce1994 replied to Hawaiian Coasters 325's topic in Kings Island
In some cases, symptoms show after a week. How can one say that exposing guests to COVID-19 for a week is no big deal, when they physically have to check lap bars? -

That’s a very interesting point. That could pose very problematic with the spread of the virus. However, nobody has asked this question, what if it’s the park’s signature ride? -

Six Flags is requiring masks. -
So as I was digging into source materials for the series I’m writing, I came across images and diagrams for a Island Queen circa 1942. Looking more into it, the radical differences in the design and engineering, one can only conclude it was for a new steamboat. Anymore details about this design proposal?

That guy has been creating petitions for every single park, since he was trying to “ get the park open for you guys so you actually have something to do this summer”(his words, not mine). I don’t think he’s quite got a grasp of the scale of the catastrophe. -
That’s a pretty cool pic. It’s also interesting to see the Eiffel Tower without the metal fence-like covering on the top level.

How good were the views from the bleachers?

That must have been an interesting process to reconstruct them. Were they disassembled and then reconstructed?

Now I’m interested, why did nobody buy the second gen version of the ride with the batwing? That would have been compact and more thrilling.

The one at Elitch is very forceful. Strong airtime followed by strong positive gforces. It’s a fun ride.

The funny thing is I’ve seen documents refer to both names in the same season. It’s clear there was no definite answer to it’s true name.

I was doing a bit of research on the Screamin Demon as part of a recreation, and I had a few questions: 1. It was part of a $5 million upgrade of the park. Was the ride really that expensive (Beast was $3.2 million), or were there other additions as well? 2. Why did they drop the sixth car in the 1980s? 3. Did the ride really have multiple color schemes, as images show different color patterns. You can check out the recreation: https://www.facebook.com/coasternation/videos/302273457440884/?

That’s going to be an interesting situation. It could be that they’re opening the hotel only. -

Universal City Walk reopened today, and from the early reports, it sounds like it was messy. One Fox35 reporter shared video of a guest yelling at one of the employees checking the temperature of the guests entering.
