they were tearing out stuff from both sides.

They're gutting out Action Theatre as I type this. Saw four construction workers enter the building.

Here's an idea, why doesn't food services have an employee look at the future forecast. I'm at the park today, when its projected to be 97 degrees, and as soon as the park opens, the Freestyle drink stands are not restocked with the drinks to fill the cup with.

Who could hate Don? You gotta love Don, he's hands down the greatest PR in amusement park history.This is so true. Also, the events he creates for the park are awesome as well!

For all those that thought my RMC prediction was crazy, here's more proof: https://twitter.com/kingsislandpr/status/739518378193326081

Guys, it's looking more RMCish, the markings indicate tight (overbanked?) turns, and the markings by the splash zone of WWC look like it will be a dive loop or innelman element.

I always thank employees, since at the end of the day, they're the ones making the park such a great place to spend free time at. For any employees reading this forum, let me say thank you.

of course they're FUN! Also, nice PUN.

I had an idea for next year's event. For those looking for credits, how about Kings Island holds ERT on the Great Pumpkin Coaster for those to get the credit.

It opened up, and literally 15 police and security guards swarmed the line as I tried to get in line.

The walkway is.

I thought the show was ____________(adj). The best part was where ____________ (noun) did _____________ (verb phrase). Will be updated tomorrow.

Those look amazing! Way to go KI!

Great article, and yes the supervisor banned him.

I was told by a friend that a few kids entered the restricted area of Banshee today.

Final thoughts on Coasterstock?

The ride ops were promoting snapping throughout the day at the Gliders.

The ride ops kept saying yesterday "Oh we can't wait to see what you do tonight". The ops kept promoting the event up to 1 minute before the ERT began. When I was getting into a dive, while close to snapping, they E-stopped and sent me nearly into the center pyramid. For that I got kicked from the ride.

I was playing with Google Maps and Nolimits and got one heck of a bizarre answer. Yes a B&M hyper would work but assuming the lift is 360 feet, the maximum height of the following element if heading towards SC if you are talking about a coaster entirely in the woods is about 80 feet. So after that overbanked turn, an airtime hill and a Fury like turnaround could entirely be kept in the woods, with the overbanked turnaround protruding into the picnic grounds a bit.

True, but what I'm saying is that while Arrow Dynamics is out of business, and replacement parts need to be fabricated, Hopkins was bought out by WWW, so replacement parts are cheaper. I'm saying it is more relevant to get rid of Congo Falls, then it is to get rid of the log flume.

Guys, they wouldn't demolish the log flume. Why? Because in the year 2000, Kings Island, then owned by Paramount, hired Hopkins (now owned by White Water West) to completely refurbish the log flume. Hopkins rebuilt over half of the log flume, and the ride has high reliability and popularity. When was the last time you've seen the log flume have a breakdown? I haven't seen a breakdown in 10+ years. Carowinds had their 30+ year old log flume removed because of the OC/rehab costs. KI, if they honestly wanted to remove the flumes, would never have hired Hopkins.

I think that's where the staircase to the old WWC crossover bridge was, and the concrete path is the beginning of the old queue line..... The big question is why remove everything in the funnel cake building area except for the old queue line path? If it was the old support for the queue line path, why are the faces so smooth?

Woohoo! Something is happening! Is it too early to start the #GIGAWATCH2017 hashtag?

I have no idea. It certainly wasn't there before last season ended, so it is new

About 10%-15% smaller.
