Kenban Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 If you look at either the Diamondback or Mystic Timbers webcams they are pouring concrete right now. 5 Quote
MysticsTimber Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 ^ I also noticed that when looking at the webcam moments ago. Have the trains even arrived yet? Ahhh they still got a lot of work to do it seems like. Are we 37 days from Opening Day? I lost track. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have a suspicion that they've arrived secretly.. maybe we won't be shown until the ride is testing.. anyone remember when we saw Banshee's first train? Idr seeing a train till video of the ride testing started 3 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 I think you might be right about them being on site Also, if you're having trouble keeping track of how long it is until opening day, follow me, @maglizrd and @MDMC01 and @jimflugel on twitter, we're each doing a daily countdown. 6 Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Or you could check out the countdown timer on the home page of KICentral.com. Just saying. 7 Quote

Elizabeth19 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I know a little off topic but I just added up all the hours I've spent in the passenger drop off/pick up area in the offseason. I've been by Kings Island 5 times and have spent a total of almost 2 hours sitting there just looking at the park. lol I have missed the park VERY much! I can't wait till I go back in 49 days and that opening day is in 44 days! 6 Quote

I can't wait till I go back in 49 days and that opening day is in 44 days! I can't wait to take some photos from the parking lot//drop off area again! Especially with Mystic Timbers, there will be something new to focus on. 3 Quote

harveyhaddixfan Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Back to the $1,357,683 question, #whatsintheshed? From the looks of the pictures they released of the station, I'm going to say it's nothing. It will be where you get off of the ride so an empty train rolls back into the station like on FoF. 1 Quote

I was so excited when I found out when KI opening day and to see how many days away that was and I didn't realize I put April 23rd as opening day. 51 minutes ago, silver2005 said: Just out of curiosity- do they have the construction on Kings Island Drive done yet? I think so. It looks done to me out of the 5 times I've been by the park in the offseason 3 Quote

The blueprints are on Twitter somewhere, there's an entrance and exit ramp attached to the station. 4 Quote
Elizabeth19 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I forgot about these and didn't really know where to put them. But here's some pictures I took the last time I went by the park on Feb 19th 6 Quote
MysticsTimber Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 How ironic that I ask if the Mystic Timbers trains arrived and the next day they do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 9 Quote
SonofBaconator Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Maybe you should ask what's in the shed 9 Quote
Elizabeth19 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 lol or ask when Vortex will be repainted and the next day they're out there painting the ride 6 Quote
Imperial79 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 If anyone hasn't seen yet, there's a vintage video of Kings Island on Facebook under the Old Photos of Cincinnati page! It is a real treat for those looking for that, and its about 9 minutes long! 5 Quote
Creed Bratton Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Which can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Old.Cincinnati/permalink/1433865963322515/ 4 Quote
MysticsTimber Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 lol or ask when Vortex will be repainted and the next day they're out there painting the ride Or confirm that KI's next coaster is a Giga, and the next day, they announce a Giga for the 2021 season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
calakapepe Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I'm not certain if Kings Island Drive is complete.. I think it was complete last time I drove through.. minus the landscaping.. But you still got quite a lot of work left to do if you come from the south towards Kings Island. That exit ramp situation has not yet been fixed, still very condensed. 2 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I was just there on Sunday--Kings Island Drive does appear to be complete. The landscaping looks pretty nice, too. The intersection on KI drive just south of the parking lot is still very condensed, though, like you said. That's not going to be fun to drive through Opening Day, especially if it's super busy. 4 Quote
johnaalexis Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Considering going Easter Sunday (16th of April) think it will be equally as crazy crowded???Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
calakapepe Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I would guess not quite as crazy considering a number of people will be holding easter with the families, and work will have to continue the next day.. that is unless Kings Island has some deals for Easter Sunday. 3 Quote
