Yes, there's only two patches and the first drop area where it's evident that a group of trees have been removed! 
Hopefully those will grow back in time, but I'm sure we could get used to simple grass too like with Banshee.

That turn around looks a lot crazier then I thought it was going to can't wait to ride it.

I didn't realize how much a size difference there was between the first 2 hills and the rest of the layout.  This thing will have the afterburners turned up to 11.  Oh, and this is longer than Thunderhead.  

WWC should be a more interesting experience as well, not only in anticipating water cannons, but with this thing flying all around.  

 

100% agree. Also, that turn after the second drop looks pretty wild-expect some nice forces once it drops into the woods. I love the interactions this thing is gonna have with train and WWC, both for MT zooming by it, and the older attractions getting an added experience. Kind of like Millenium Island with Dinos Alive (and the old pirate haunt that was 10,000% best part of CP Haunts before that).

Could you imagine if KI had queues like this?

I mean, KI pretends to have themed lines, but if the recent rework to the FoF queue is any indication.... Can we just borrow from Busch Gardens? I'm thinking my recent Tampa trip and how cool the lines for Montu and Cobra's Curse were....

When you think about it, it is remarkable that the theming on Flight of Fear has stood up as well as it has.  The ride is 21 years old this year!

That's, to some capacity, thanks to a fellow KICer [emoji14]

And he has done a great job.

For those on Facebook, they posted a picture of the station on Kings Island's official page. I'm not sure how to post pictures on here in a post, but it's there; I swear!

Here is the link.

That don't look like floater air.

People are saying 2017 is a bad year overall for coasters. I think it will turn out pretty nicely for those of us who visit Kings Island a lot!

Think of it this way. While it might be a bad year for roller coasters. It isn't a great year for amusement parks that will be getting a new roller coaster. More enthusiasts will flock to those parks getting a new ride while others will be slowing down a little bit. 

 

This is why 2018 is going to be a bigger Year for parks receiving a new ride. While others will really slow down. 

 

Haha, I remember when the pov of Mystic Timbers came out. Many people said they weren't excited for MT because they thought it didn't look intense.  It's starting to look the other way around now. Still when I think about we should still be appreciative that CF gave us a coaster, We really didn't need/deserve one. Still, it's great we are getting a good coaster. 

And remember this?

The more I see of this beautiful coaster, the more I like. It's going to have a great combination of floater and nice intense airtime. Something, as I've said before, I've been wanting to see at KI for a long time on a up-to-date wooden coaster! I absolutely cannot wait to get on this thing as it looks extremely re-ridable. I agree that renderings and videos of this coaster are not doing it the justice it deserves. Of course, videos rarely do for any coaster for that fact. C'mon Spring, get here fast!

^The Banshee teaser was a rare break in the trend, at least in my opinion.

The Banshee teaser?

This teaser to be exact. I thought it really hyped Banshee incredibly well. I wanted to ride this more than I have any other coaster after seeing this video.

I STILL get the chills when I watch this!
