New Ride Pieces Showing Up At KI?

Featured Replies

While I was On WindSeeker And Eiffel Tower I happened to notice some

large Steel or Metal bars out past racer kinda by BEAST. anyone seen them

or know what they might be?

I believe what you are seeing is the area where they set off the fireworks, it's been there for years.

Or at least that's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head, that I've seen over there. That would be cool if it was parts for a new ride though!

Google13 on ride photography is strictly prohibited on WindSkeer and any ride at KI except ET and KIMVRR.

^ Were you being sarcastic? Because if you were serious thats kind of sad. He probably just saw something interesting and snapped a shot at it.

Not trying to be rude at all. ;)

^ no he was not, Phantom Theater was responding to a inappropriate post that was removed.

Any proof, pictures of these "pieces" ?

thats what i was trying to say but my post got removed

Your post got removed because you were suggesting that someone should take pictures while ridding on WindSeeker which is against Kings Island ridding rules for that attraction.

I can confirm this after riding WindSeeker today. There aren't any new coaster pieces showing up back there, unfortunately.

Thanks for that info Avatar. I did not know that he was responding to a post that had been removed.

Well I went yesterday and walking into the park there is a whole pile of new wood in front of the road by Face-Off and Congo Falls.

That's probably just from SOB.

Actually, I think those are the wooden "towers" (can't think of any other way to describe them) that are usually spread through Tombstone Terror-tory and CornStalkers. Scareactors usually hide inside them or just on the other side of them.

Over behind The Racers station, there appears to be some sort of crates and barrels of some sort. i don't know if this is just some sort of theming element. i do remember that SOB had some crates in front of its entrance. Also i think SOB cold easily re-open if they gave it steel-tubular tracks like the texas giant and six flags recieved.

On WindSeeker today, I could have sworn I saw some type of track behind DA. I wasn't able to get a picture, since I couldn't see it from the Eiffel Tower.

Are you sure what you saw wasn't just trains? I was there Saturday (or Sunday? the days blend together at this point) and I along with Ms. kingsrattler looked all around the area, and all we saw were what looks to be trains to SOB, and a few picnic tables out in the woods.

On another note though, I did find it interesting that the two "telescopes" on Eiffel Tower facing the SOB/DA were covered up. I don't find my way up the tower that often, because usually by the time I get to it, we are ready to go home, so does anyone know how long these have been like that? They are probably legitimately broke, but hey, whats wrong with a little speculation ;)

Possibly. I noticed whatever-it-was right before the ride carriage began lowering, so I only got one quick glance. However, the color scheme of SOB's trains does match the color scheme of the thing out in the woods.

It does seem a bit odd that two of the Eiffel Tower's binoculars are covered up.

I thought the remaining pieces for Ghoster Coaster and KC were scrapped around the same time as the steel frame of SoB's loop.

I believe you are correct. Even Google Maps satellite image shows all the track is gone, and I believe the imagery is usually a few years old.

You have to put quarters in them to get them to work. ;)

GoogleMaps had a very recent update over the park.

The current overview of the park seen on Google Maps was taken on July 1st, 2010.
