purdude86 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Yea I only have slight memories of it from when I was a kid. I remember going on the monorail but I really don't recall anything about it, except that it got really hot inside them. But the area looks fantastic and wish there was still something like it around.
thegajone Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 That's funny, because I too have a fuzzy memory of the monorail, but the one thing that sticks out to me is that it was cool and air-conditioned inside them and gave us a nice break from the hot, humid summer weather. So one of us is mis-remembering things. I'll admit it could very well be me. 1
WailsLikeABanshee Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Maybe purdude86 rode it on a day that the air wasn't working? Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk 3
Nick_Plummer Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 On those pictures you can see the building that was converted into Stunt Crew Grille!
purdude86 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Might have just had a faulty ac that day or something. I only remember going on it once. 1
KIfan73 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Since it seems like the new "theme" of Action Zone is to bring back things from the "dead" (SoB's former spot, The Bat), I think adding some animatronic zoo animals to the wooded area around The Bat, Banshee, and Adventure Express would be nifty... 6
DBInternational Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Ladies and gentlemen I believe I now know the answer to why we saw the weird markings on the path in front of Sling Shot. They have changed it from an asphalt surface to concrete. I could be wrong but at least this is what it appears to be at the moment. Here's a picture of the Banshee webcam at 4:30 today: (www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams) Also the circle in the center of Action Zone has changed slightly as well. It no longer looks like it has three flower beds but instead has a large grey looking rectangle spanning across it. I wonder what its for. Also its hard to see now but earlier it looked like they were placing fences around the other concrete slab portions of Banshee. Can't really tell now though because of all the shadows in the image. 5
Delirium2018 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 You can also see the repainting of X-treme Skyflyer. 1
upstop Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Also the circle in the center of Action Zone has changed slightly as well. It no longer looks like it has three flower beds but instead has a large grey looking rectangle spanning across it. I wonder what its for. . The grey rectangle is a tarp. Just before 3:30 Friday, it was rolled and spread over something, most likely fresh work that they wanted to keep dry over the weekend. 3
TTD-120-420 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Looks like they landscaped the circle. Poor flowers will die when it snows this week... This is a Photoshop, obviously. 16
BB1 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 The Webcam is smudged with water/ice, this is lovely. 4
calakapepe Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Looks like they landscaped the circle. Poor flowers will die when it snows this week... This is a Photoshop, obviously. I had two reactions to this: --- 1.) Hahaha I laughed when I saw this. --- 2.) What? Where?? I can't see the flowerbeds! 3
upstop Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 ARRGH!!! This is like the movie Groundhogs Day!!!! We keep waking up to this white crap!!! 7
The Interpreter Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Would you be happier if it were gray or even bright red, as it often was where and when I grew up? Terp, who likes to ask questions. 3
The Interpreter Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 The local cats and dogs can help make it more colorful. 3

upstop Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Awww....cute video! Reminded me of my cat. I named him Boo because he liked to jump out and scare me. At Christmas, he used to lay on the tree skirt and look up into the tree....he would poke at the lower ornaments but never climbed the tree...he died of a heart attack right in front of me one night four years ago.... Sure do miss him.... 6
LoraX Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I had a cat when I was a child that climbed into the Christmas tree and knocked it over. It broke all but two ornaments. The tree was filled with ceramic ornaments that my grandma made in her ceramic shop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5
jcgoble3 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Why are we talking about Christmas trees in March in the Action Zone re-theming thread? 7
jcgoble3 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Absolutely not. I've had enough of winter. I'm ready for Springfest. 9
BB1 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Absolutely not. I've had enough of winter. I'm ready for Springfest. Just Beware The Ides of March! 5
MDMC01 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I agree Jcgoble... I am so ready for warmer weather! Saturday's weather (in the 40's/50's) was great; I just wish it would have stuck around... 1
rotag Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 That was a spring preview the sign out front said "coming soon to a season near you." 1
