lifetimecoaster Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Just saw Mystic Timbers run all 3 trains. Also was watching BLSC running earlier. They sent one train out, and it didn't make it all the way up the helix. It was kind of funny to watch it get ALMOST to the top of the helix, and then roll back down it towards the station. It made it on the second launch. Edit: Mystic Timbers is running right this second. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I excitedly went to the webcams after I read all the commotion, but alas, no movement. However, I did see Backlot's white train on what appears to be the transfer track. 19 days!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 When the closest I get to an adrenaline rush is when I find another Loopster car in the racks of Hot Wheels. Found four today, three at Walmart and one at Target. Two are the hands down variant. I have six total cars now. A decent sized train. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VortexBFForever Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 BUMP! And with a month to spare. You're welcome. When I marathon my favorite movie because I can't marathon my favorite ride. Seriously. I have already seen How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World four times in the last two weeks, and I'm about to see it a fifth time with my family next Tuesday. Like with riding Vortex, I have not gotten tired of seeing this movie! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy1380# Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 You know it’s the off season when you have dreams about riding the rides at Kings Island. I have a dream that repeats all the time, but it is a good dream, and it involves the (sadly as it was my favorite ride of all time) now gone Firehawk. In this dream while on the lift hill (with the loud anti rollbacks working), the famous dragon from How to Train Your Dragon Toothless appears, and he rides the ride with me and VortexBFForever (we rode Firehawk and many rides together on my first visit to Kings Island). Somehow, Toothless followed us through every loop, and even followed us into the station for Firehawk. After the ride ops saw Toothless, and knowing nobody else wanted to ride (it was a quiet day at Kings Island in my dream), they let us ride over and over again. In my dream we rode Firehawk a total of four times in a row, all with Toothless, and all while having an amazing time (again Firehawk is my favorite ride of all time but sadly it is gone). I love having that dream! I can’t wait to go back to Kings Island in 2019! Here’s to Kings Island’s off season!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
