Maybe I missed it, when did they say there was going to be a webcam up for Mystic Timbers construction?

So if the straps were loose and wasn't working properly, that's like a safety feature on a ride, but this is on a water slide and not just any water slide, but the biggest tallest in the world. Imagine if any other ride like say a roller coaster had one of its safety features not working correctly and they kept running it... Doesn't look good at all for the park.

Here's a really good article about Kings Island and their newest roller coaster for 2017 - Mystic Timbers! I am really excited for next year! http://www.themeparktourist.com/features/20160731/32094/preview-mystic-timbers-kings-island?page=1

This is really terrible, my thoughts and prayers go out to Caleb, his family, the employees and everyone effected. In the requirements it says that there would have had to been, two other passengers of adult weight to meet the 400 lbs weight limit, Did they send him down by himself? A lot of sad questions to be answered.

Or maybe we are getting our own flat rides. They did say they was going to Japan after Europe, and it would be a major announcement. I think that would be a major announcement. Be nice to see the Cuddle Up and others make a return. . Maybe I'm just dreaming.

Oh wow, I wonder what that's for? Maybe they are expanding DA? hmm

That's pretty big news, its been there for a long time! I wonder if they are going somewhere else in the chain? Maybe ol Kings Island can get it? We used to have one.

Yup Mid-August, Invertijack is right. So we have about 15 days till the announcement. I feel we will get at least one teaser, I hope. Hey MysticTimbers, welcome to KIC! We can't to see you in action!

I hope we get some of the old flat rides back we used to have or at least one in this announcement. Greg said it would be another major announcement. I think it will be something to do with Action Theater, something like what Carowinds added with Plants vs Zombies. I like those black and white pictures of Coney Island. It would be neat if someone could take some black and white pictures of Kings Island, give a nostalgic look to the park.

It felt different leaving ki on Thursday then normal. I think the classical Christmas music had something to do with it. It's like leaving a magical land and going back to the real world. I don't like it! I hope they do this next year too!

This is going to be a great ride imo. Can't wait to ride it.

Well Tb you was right there was a line!

Yup at the front entrance of the Crypt building right now since they moved everyone up some, I was at the Project 2017 wall to start.

Just saw Don walk pass the line. Everyone around started screaming he just smiled lol.

Awe that is so nice and thoughtful. This makes the park managers know how much, everyone loves the rides, even when they are down.

^^Yeah I walked pass 40 mins ago and there was a few people already there in line. Fun at ki!

^^*Hurry's up and goes to the Diamondback webcam*

Ekk that looks even worse, scary!

^^Ah and just when I was starting to come around to the name!

Don just posted this on his Twitter account 6 minutes ago. Edit: JCoaster25 posted same time. https://mobile.twitter.com/DonHelbig/status/758374564107849730

I think it's safe to say it's not going to be a kiddie ride.

I hope they keep playing it all the way till the end of the Christmas in July event. I'm going to try to make it there for the July 28th announcement, get some video of it playing too.

I love your pictures Magenta Lizard and anyone else posting pics! I want to move down there someday and not be two hours away, how exciting it must be to see the park adding new stuff and be so close!

You are so funny Tb lol. Love your posts man er I mean Captain!

Sorry for the double post, but I asked Kings Island on Twitter about why it's down, they said they are waiting on a part, it will be back in operation soon. https://mobile.twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/756282767927873537?cn=cmVwbHk%3D
