This is likely going to be my favorite ride in the park. I am thinking I will be be there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. ITs the final count down!

QuantumMechanicsInMotion Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) I seen on social media that #KingsIslandPR, twitted out that the 2017 Park Guide & Map has been finalized and will be off to the printer in the AM #KI45. This means that the GP and coaster enthusiasts including myself will be seeing the new park map inclusive of the 3,265 foot-long new attraction Mystic Timbers and the new Soak City Island Smokehouse very soon.

QuantumMechanicsInMotion Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Today, I seen on Youtube this video content from WCPO 9 On Your Side regarding Kings Island's newest attraction Mystic Timbers and how the 3,265 foot-long new attraction is anticipated to provide an economic increase to Warren County in Mason, Ohio. There is also keen angles of video footage inclusive of Mystic Timbers' construction that provides a good look at Mystic Timbers' station area, where the train station departs just to name a few well-angled photogenic contents within the video. I have provided a link for the video in this commentary. Enjoy folks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xdog42 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 It's interesting because now even some of my classmates who are GP know about Mystic Timbers. At first it felt like only us enthusiasts knew about it, But it seems like a lot of people know about MT. Also something off-topic is my teacher said she knows a lot about coasters and KI, so I asked her how tall Diamondback is and she said it's 350 ft. All I could do is laugh, she also said Beast is a Hyper coaster. Just something I thought I should share with you. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calakapepe Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 "I seen it?" Lol that aside, I came across that video a couple days ago, nothing really revealed or even teased. Spent the majority of the segment talkong about the financial growth that comes with a new to open tourist attraction of some sort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Most of my friends are die hard CP fans and will take every opportunity comparing CP with KI to not give KI credit when deserved (sans wooden coaster collection). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about presentation. To me there's no competition on who's better as a whole, there's just advantages. There are some scenarios where CP has the advantage and there's some scenarios where KI has the advantage. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Don said it interacts with the train and WWC. I would also say on a thematic level it interacts with RFYLCB. The lumber company themeing along with the "logs" zipping by adds to the overall theme imho. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium2018 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I think I have figured it out. Why are the webcams off all the sudden? Near testing time? The answer is simple (and probably incorrect but it doesn't hurt to try) they turned off the cameras because... they don't want people seeing MT go through the second half of the ride backwards because theres a backwards launch! You're welcome. *I say this post with 0 confidence* 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome. *I say this post with 0 confidence* Hmm. Well, that's an interesting point, I'm quoting you not to dissent your commentary, but just to purpose my own conjecture regarding why KI decided to extract the webcams from any means of internet obtrusiveness. I feel that the KI website perhaps could be in-progress of being revamped to the new website platform that the Cedar Fair Entertainment Company has been utilizing for Cedar Point, Carowinds, Great America and Kings Dominion thus far to enhance website mobile compatibility. I think that the Kings Island website will be consecutively next to be refurbished, effacing parts of the outdated website may be preliminary prior to complete refurbishments. We know that Cedar Fair will make use of this new mobile-compatible software platform for all their parks, so KI will get its website redeveloped even if I'm incorrect about the webcams.....it's a matter of timing, not whether or not KI will do it. Anyways, that is my personal conjecture in regards to the justifications for KI extracting internet-obtrusiveness from their now, outdated website software. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoeter Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 New website will be coming soon, per KI's Twitter page. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'm sure there's some company vehicles or props out that might give away the contents of the shed and that's why the cams are down. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Well, they gotta get the trains on somewhere. With the storage track in the shed, I imagine they have the ability to open it up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBanshee Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I love the secrecy behind this whole thing! It's great that KI wants to keep all of us out of the know with anything about it. It really adds to the overall suspense and excitement of MT!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuantumMechanicsInMotion Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Well, I found interesting photo content today that I would like to share regarding Great Coasters International, GCI on social media concerning InvadR at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I seen, on GCI facebook social media account, that InvadR has climaxed in its construction phase as it's commencing it's testing phase inclusive of the re-profiled millennium flyer Gwazi trains from Busch Gardens Tampa. Hence, I scratch my head and ponder when we'll be seeing testing for Mystic Timbers; I will purpose a conjecture, it's highly probable that testing will commence mid- next week or the week after being that InvadR has begun testing already, both are manufactured by the same company and both were announced in relatively close time intervals. Hence, we'll be seeing Mystic Timbers testing very soon, within the time interval of the next 2 weeks. I have attached the photo of InvadR below, enjoy folks.

I know that as an employee you are unauthorized to post depictions of the park while on off-season and not approved, but I just wanted to know what it was that you saw. I'm curious, you don't have to say much, brief is fine, but we'd all like to know what it was that you seen that makes you certain that everyone will be enthused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
