themuska11 Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 If were seeing the same thing it looks like a truck to me. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 I believe they are expecting a early June opening. Quote
upstop Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 It's the Larosa's Pizza wagon. It's been there since opening day. I'm beginning to believe that it has been strategically placed to "cover" the main entrance....for a while. 2 Quote
Sebastien6221 Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 I have a pic from the 18th and 25th of April and its not there. Maybe its Drop Tower parts in a Larosa's Pizza wagon........its a distraction 8:) Quote
PKIVortex Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 That truck has been there on my visits, April 19th, 20th, and 26th. 1 Quote
OpSonofBeast Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Don! I'm calling you out!! It's been 3 weeks with no Drop Tower and the park hasn't told us when to expect it to be up and going?! Quote
jbum123 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 That would be Kings Islands food truck. Edit: Beaten to it. 1 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I can confirm that as of today, Drop Tower's drive/control/whatever box does have the '14 sticker on the side, so it appears to be certified for this season. Transmitted from Wild Space via my datapad's DROID brain Quote
Diamondback96 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 So either it's close to opening or they're having issues. Unless one or the other (or something else) has been confirmed already. 1 Quote
Ki Man Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Any update or estimate on opening from this weekend? I might break down and buy a pass to visit this week; would really really love to catch a ride on one of my favorite Drop Towers this week.. Quote
Dalefan Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 The bad thing about having an overseas ride company is that most of the parts have to be made and shipped from there. Millie Force had to have one brought over after the park had a part made that failed. 1 Quote

FoF96" Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Planning on going Tuesday the 20th. Hopefully it is open! 1 Quote
jdf21972 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Drop Tower closed again today ? So any speculation to why it's still closed? Sent from my iPhone using Taptalk Quote
Zayzayd13 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I know this is a Drop Tower forum here, but what about Invertigo? Quote
CoasterOhio Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Nothing is wrong with Invertigo. It's probably down for mechanical Issues. 1 Quote
Dalefan Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Invertigo seems to be down more and more over the last 4 years. Quote
PKIVortex Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I heard Drop Tower is not excepted to reopen until sometime in June. Quote
upstop Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 They are ordering new squirrels to spin in the wheels that lift the car to the top of the tower..... (aside: I wouldn't mind a restraint system on Drop Tower similar to Banshee, if that's not too much to ask....Yes I know......too much to ask .) 15 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 ^ Ever since 2009, squirrels haven't lasted very long at Kings Island, that is due to the fact that 2009 is when the snake arrived..... ....He gets hungry.... Didn't ya know? 17 Quote
Spectrum91 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I heard Drop Tower is not excepted to reopen until sometime in June. Except what? Quote
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 They are ordering new squirrels to spin in the wheels that lift the car to the top of the tower..... ^ Ever since 2009, squirrels haven't lasted very long at Kings Island, that is due to the fact that 2009 is when the snake arrived..... ....He gets hungry.... Didn't ya know? Then have you tired yelling at a squirrel? Well if not, the squirrel will usually run away. So Banshee is doing her job! Which is also being counterproductive at the same time... 4 Quote
DBInternational Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Has anyone also noticed a similar looking ride to Drop Tower is closed? WindSeeker has also been closed since opening day. Do you think maybe its a high wind issue or something dealing with altitude? ~Coolio schoolio~ Quote
CoasterOhio Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 ^ It has to do with Wind. It's been VERY windy these past few months in Ohio. Quote
