CoasterFreak45 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Fox 19 now says one of the dinos caught fire, oops! Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 If true, Avatar was more right than he may have liked. Dino leg on fire indeed! Quote
PKIVortex Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 "The "Dinosaurs Alive" exhibit was scheduled to open Thursday". Wonder if this means this will delay the opening of this attraction? It says WAS and not IS? Makes ya wonder huh? Quote
jdawg1998 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Wow. This is a really bad year for Kings Island, in terms of the events that have happened. Quote
PKIVortex Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Wow. This is a really bad year for Kings Island, in terms of the events that have happened. What events do you talk about? Bad year? Winderseeker didn't open on time, how is that events? Just wondering what events your talkin about. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 I almost hesitate to say this but there are those in creation who probably arkn't too upset about what has been wrought, but they have certain incentives to feel that way. The mere thought is quite taxing. Quote

Winderseeker didn't open on time, how is that events? Just wondering what events your talkin about. True, true, not really events but....unfortunate things? WindSeeker not opening, earlier in the year a transformer fire, this fire, a lot of hate from people, bad start to the year (opening day)....so not really events, more of....yah, those. Quote
Beast1979 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 How does one manage to get an anamatronic dinosaur to catch fire, and two days before opening? I don't know whether to laugh, facepalm, or be worried. Quote
windshawne Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 My guess electrical? Probably. Maybe all the moisture shorted something, who knows. Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 So, while the kids enjoy watching the Dinos, the parents have to plot escape routes in case of fire. Quote
nhimes90 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 So, while the kids enjoy watching the Dinos, the parents have to plot escape routes in case of fire. I don't know why, but that just made me laugh so much. I don't know whether it was made to funny or not. Brings a whole new meaning to Escape from Dino Isle. Quote
Snowman Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Is it a bad idea to yell "Fire" in a crowded Action Theater? "New addition to DA, Pete's Dragon, Elliot" Seriously, very glad no one was hurt. Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Breaking news: The Park has revealed the que music for Dinosaurs Alive..... Quote
mikejenkins1 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 So will this ride be Extinct before it even opens? Wow self combustible dinos. Now I might pay $5 to see this! Hmm not a good start to the year. Quote
74Gibson Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Probably just Kinzel's Karma. I love Cedar Fair parks though and am very excited about DA! and how nice the parks are looking. Quote
Creed Bratton Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 So will this ride be Extinct before it even opens? Wow self combustible dinos. Now I might pay $5 to see this! Hmm not a good start to the year. Depends on what you mean by ride. Dinosaurs Alive is not a ride but a walk through attraction. Talking with one of the DA Crew Members on Sunday, she will be driving a golf cart with seating for 6 around the attraction. This golf cart to my knowledge and her knowledge will be used for those with handicaps. Thank you Nemo for posting that video. I can't wait to ride one of these massive seekers of wind! Quote
pyrocoasterkid Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Look at this image I just happened to catch just a few minutes ago. It was gone when I refreshed the page a minute later. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Yes, it was a rather soggy day at the park. Some pictures will be posted on the site here soon from Dinosaurs Alive! In my opinion, it is well worth the $5 charge. The first time we went through, not taking time to read the signs or snap any pictures, it took us nearly fifty minutes to get through the entire thing! Now if only that pesky rain can stop! Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 ^ Can you see any of the dinos from the rides or are the pretty much hidden? Quote
CoastersRZ Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Well, other than the one that is right across the maintenance path from The Racer, they are all pretty much hidden from view from any rides, including the Eiffel Tower. And other than a few glimpses of The Racer, and WindSeeker, the only other indication of a ride that you will hear is Firehawk`s lift hill. All the trees and the topography back there definitely adds to the setting for the attraction. Quote
homestar92 Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Oh yeah...I bet CP's WindSeeker will cycle riders faster 'cause it's gonna hold TWICE as many riders as KI's WindSeeker! I actually heard while in line for Delirium a couple of weeks ago that maXair in CP holds 75 riders versus Delirium's 50. Banging.... Head..... On.....Que..... Rail! I know I'm replying to a very old post, but that's nothing. Oh the things I learn in queue lines. Apparently Top Gun once had floorless inverted cars. But they took them off because they derailed and killed a whole train of people. And also, The Beast had a loop. But that also got taken out when someone who wasn't buckled in well fell out. I love the GP. Quote
Pagoda Gift Shop Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Someone reported over on pointbuzz that CP's WindSeeker tossed a dummy or two during testing yesterday. I'll be watching the webcams closely today. Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 ^ Wow, that makes me feel safe! Hahaha It shouldn't be much longer until WindSeeker opens. should it? And Another question, did DA open Thursday? Quote
