There is this one ride operator on Adventure Express who always calls it something else and it takes everyone 5 seconds or so to figure out that its not right. Example: Enjoy you're ride on Vortex

What is on your off-season improvement list?
JubJester replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island
I noticed that too. That would be a good one. I just wanted to also state that I am pretty dang happy with the changes next year. -

^ CAR 24 far right gun works amazing. Don't know why I would share that but there you go. Wishlist: - dtk1378 ideas - IndyGuy's Diamondback idea would be nice. - Some new paint for the trains. It is annoying to see people who write a bunch of crap on it. Edit: When I say trains I am referring to the KI Miami Valley Railroad. Sorry for the mix up. -
That must of been akwardly fun

The last day was a blast for me. Let me go over some highlights: The first big highlight was the Flight of Fear stopping mid launch when I just got done riding. So according to the worker I was talking to it didn't have enough power. They turned the lights on and you could see the train all they way down in the tunnel right at the end of the tunnel. Due to the sudden stop the sent down some first aid personnel. So there was one person who got some medical attention because they slammed their chest on the lap bar due to it stopping so fast. They got her out of the car before the moved the train back into the station (wishes goes out to that person that she is doing fine). They moved the cart back by pushing which was kind of cool to see. They did two test runs and it was back and running. (rough year for Kings Island) I now understand why they are making Starbucks bigger. The lines were huge for them the last couple weeks and it seemed to move slow. I went in line today and it took a while so the bigger Starbucks is a very good choice. Got to see the guy who got the two millionth rider on Banshee was cool. Want to congratulate KI on getting that total in one year. AMAZING Sad to season go but can't wait to next year. This year is FOR SURE is going to be one of the most historical and best years in KI's history. See you next year Kings Island!

My reaction to realizing how many months until Opening Day:
-
I went and almost all the rides were out. -Banshee was closed before time (same as Diamondback) -Like you said Vortex, Adventure Express (you really didn't but why not add it), and Backlot were closed to begin with. - All outdoor mazes were closed. -Im assuming because the cold. - All the roller coasters open towards the end of the day were The Beast and The Racer
-
Yea. I would like to hear why they thought that.
-
I think they did extremely good this year with the addition of Banshee and all the records broken. - Incredible If you mean day as event.. I would have to say Opening Day with the packed crowd and the huge line for Banshee. - Banshee's debut Solid

Man. There kid's area is ranked number 1 to begin with. Now they are adding this, that is going to be a good fit. I wish it could have gone somewhere outside of Planet Snoopy but thats ok with me.

Expected Speed of Rougarou

I originally posted that picture showing the unpainted trims, but they have since been painted. Looks like they are staying, but wonder if they will be used. It could be possible that to save the cost of removing and fabricating new track, they just painted over it to save time and money without the intention to ever use it again. Then they will probably be turned off. Thanks for the info. -
Flying Eagles. Ferris wheel would be good too.
-
A ride like Ricochet at Carowinds would be a cool edition. I think it could be a great fit in X-Base or something.

Thats going to be hard to see because they are kind of not liked by most people anymore. Also it has been a while since a brand new stand up was builtThat maybe but if you think about it. All that needs to happen is for B&M to redesign the harness. Plus inverts weren't built for a long time. So stand ups may come back one day. Yea. Good point. I could see them re-designing stand ups.

Someone posted a photo on here I forget who but it showed that the trim brake on the first drop was not painted. Everything else was but it wasn't. -

Lets go into more detail. By Action Zone (sorry for not making this clear) that general area. The far left side of the park. -
