PhantomTheater Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Hopefully they keep the lighting maintained, is something CF does not excel in. Look what has become of MF, Power Tower and Giant Wheel's lighting package. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I believe that they are installing LED lighting on WindSeeker. LED lights are known for long life. I believe that the lights that are on Scrambler are also LED lights when those lights were replaced several years back. It has been a while since a ride at Kings Island received a lighting package (other than general lighting). Quote
HTCO Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 On the control booth issue, I believe I saw a light on inside one night on the webcam. My guess is they have full electric running inside but just haven't gotten to the actual roofing and such. They will get it done though. EDIT: If you look at the webcam now, you can see the lights on inside the control both. Quote
TheSnapper Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I must say I LOVE The bricks ! Makes the whole are look so much better! Quote
Flat Freak Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Maybe the control booth IS done. In addition to brick pavers, they could be redoing every Coney Mall building in Tyvek Homewrap. Quote
mikejenkins1 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 So what are those chains or such on the ground? Quote
Hendrick Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 New (old) webcam up at Fox. Hopefully, we'll be able to see some work from the new Dinosaur attraction. Webcam Quote
HTCO Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 They look more like cables to me mikejenkins1. Could be wrong though. Quote
mikejenkins1 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 They look more like cables to me mikejenkins1. Could be wrong though. Yes I agree. I captured the pic and zoomed in to see it. Was doing it by eye before and the cable and brick sort of looked like breaks in the line and wondered if it was some sort of chain. Yet it made no sense to me. So guess these are the CYA in case the bolts holding you break? Quote
Creed Bratton Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Looks like some evening work is being done..not sure what though! Quote
LordSkippy Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 On the Fox webcam, are Zephyr's lights turned on or is it just a trick of the light? Quote
Creed Bratton Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 That's what I ended up guessing too! There seems to be more and more people coming to work on the ride tonight. Quote
Creed Bratton Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 On the Fox webcam, are Zephyr's lights turned on or is it just a trick of the light? It may be....WindSeeker area has work lights on. Quote
Jasper Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 WindSeeker is going to look great at night! and its going to look sweet rising up from the fog during haunt. As much as I cannot wait to see that, do not bring Haunt up, that signifies the end of the season sadly. But it will be cool none the less. I cannot wait to see the lighting on this ride, cannot wait to get a night ride on this puppy. Quote
Ohiocoasterman Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Its almost 1am and they are still working. I love this!!! Quote
Whatever6750 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 On the fox19 cam you can see lights moving up and down the tower. EDIT: Just realized the bottom right one is a 1hr time lapse but on the big one I was just watching it moved on a few refreshes. Quote

mikejenkins1 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Guess it is finish the control house day. The other guys must be crashing due to a late night. So I wonder how much cycle testing time this ride will get. Do they test with water dummies like on coasters? Quote

Creed Bratton Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Saw that too! Wonder what's on the agenda for tonight. I've been waiting to hear when the seats would be attached. Quote
Ohiocoasterman Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 I am not sure but it looks like there are 2 crews. They have there morning crew and then the night crew comes in around 8? Quote
PhantomTheater Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 On the WindSeeker cam I just saw Racer blue testing! Quote
HTCO Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Just so everyone can quit the complaining, the control booth is indeed finished on the outside. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Not everyone has been complaining.... Terp, oft the bemused observer (and saving up his nickels...else they be gone with the wind) Quote
KIanatic1975 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 I went to go get my pass processed today and boy is WindSeeker looking good. The location is perfect and when you stand between the entrance and the tickets, WindSeeker is perfectly placed in the middle. Quote
Delirium13 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 After having driven by the park a week ago on my way to Columbus I agree, WindSeeker is really a nice addition to the skyline. I can't wait to see it up close. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 With WindSeeker added to the skyline, I like how all the aircraft warning lights blink at different intervals over Kings Island at night; adds kind of a sparkle to the sleeping giant (even the 'Imposter', that radio or cell tower to the south of the park that gets in on the act... still, pretty cool).

KIfan73 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 All of you Kings Island "locals" make me sick! Quote
