So for those of you who are saying "OMG WHERE DID IT GO", here ya go.

Looks like it's getting a new lighting package, AND new LED lights! Can't wait to see how this changes Coney Mall at night, especially with WindSeeker's lights nearby.

2015 is going to be a great year at Kings Island, I can already feel it!

That new color scheme is downright sexy.

Nice! Can't wait to see and experience the newness!

The new Red & White paintjob, even from just that 1 released photo, should be gorgeous.

Cool! Now if there's still some way to identify which ring starts spinning first, that would be a bonus. Because the spinning while still inches from the ground is one of the best parts of the ride.

Looks great.....one of my favorite at the park. So glad she's coming back looking like new.

Now give some LED's to Vortex and put better chaser lights on Racer and we'll have one mighty fine looking area in the back of Coney Mall.

^^ and bring back backwards Racer

Believe it has been said at least 100 times that backwards Racer cannot be brought back.....period.

Anyways.

Someone be sure and get some nice pics and video of the ride this season. I won't be able to see it in person til at least 2016.

Love this new look, the ride will look brand new. I really missed riding Shake Rattle and Roll last season. Can't wait to see the refurbished ride back in the park, and give it a spin or two or three lol!

I wonder what the new "observation area" should be like.

Wow that looks great! I can't wait! Thank you Kings Island mantaince crew for all you do, we know it's not easy to be out in the cold weather plus working in it.

Red & White color scheme....so my dream of having it renamed "The Big Red Machine" still stands a chance, pending approval (read $$$) of little Joe

This is one of my top flats at the park, so I'm very happy to see it back. It's one of the few spinny rides that I can handle.

recaR ,sadly, will probably never show its face again at the park.

I can't wait to see it back again.It is my favorite flat.

Well, since the Crypt is gone,,

I'm going to miss the skeletons on the crapper! HAHA!!!

I prefer to think of this as a memorial to Fairfield high school.

I was close. I got the red and white part right at least.

If you want an idea what the ride will look like come April, take a look at a ride at the sister park, Kings Dominion's Bad Apple.

Does it come with the ride behind it?

Hopeful Terp, who likes to ask questions.

Kings Island already has a nice ride behind SR&R's spot.

Or rather, 2 nice rides.

Well we can definitely fit a third in somewhere. Any standup is good for me.

Kings Island General Manager, Greg Scheid, has provided us the following picture from his Twitter account:

I can't wait to see her all lit up at night.

Looks like a new queue/entry way as well as new concrete everywhere! Yay! Hope they didn't chop out the pine trees....

The trees right by it was one of the best things about the ride.

I still see a pine peeking through, on the left side of the pic anyway!

I knew they were a reason they chopped those old que rails down. It looks like a brand new ride and ride area. Way to go Kings Island!

It really does look nice! It needed to be updated to ADA standards with the wider queue lines.
