dwainw Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 With 25 more track sections to go, and the last one arriving on sight tomorrow, I'm going to guess 2/6. Barring any long weather delays of course. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 at the bottom of the original camera on the left hand side. there has been some serious digging going on there There used to be a bridge to the biergarten located there, and later on a RC boat game was there...Looks like the fence is gone, Good catch. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 That sign for Adventure Express was freshly painted for last season. It appears that they are working on the little dock area next to the lake that used to have the remote control boats on them. I wonder if they are going to be replacing the pavement and curbs in Action Zone and generally doing a sprucing up, much like they did with Rivertown in 2009. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwainw Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 ^^^They are rigging the top of the vertical loop just behind the batzel. Looks like the orange and yellow lift has also moved into place for the final lift of the loop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calakapepe Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I wonder what it looks like from Adventure Express now..Also, I looked back at the cam pictures from awhile ago and the Adventure Express sign looks just as "fresh" as it does in your above photo. However, the fence by the pond is definitely gone lol 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It looks like they are taking pavers out....might just be taking the path out because it leads to a dead end with out the bridge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterama Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It looks like the On Location sign has been removed. Most likely getting renamed. EDIT: Never Mind, just a shadow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoraX Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 That looks amazing. I think this is going to be even better than I imagined from the announcement. The video looked amazing. Hearing the stats sounded amazing. Seeing it though - WOW! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myklhicks Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 For those of you not on Instagram, Kings Island posted three photos today, one of the Banshee station, one of the loop (not topped off), and one of them digging. Here's the photo of the station so far: 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gplez90 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 The station is going to look great! In one of the pictures it appears as if they're doing more landscaping under the low passing areas. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
