I couldn't tell if he was being complimentary to the (better) Racer music or just making a joke. Either way, I chuckled. For me, The Racer is like time traveling. When I ride it, I like it to imagine I'm in the 70s/early 80s riding a classic rollercoaster. It's escapism. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell. *EDIT* It seems as if they've just painted them all black instead of getting new restraints, because the handle bars still look old. Hope im not late on this lol 3 I doubt they have been painted. The colors are off in the picture. Just look at how dark the tower itself is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 The restraints haven't been black as of recently. Looking at photos on Google show yellow/lime green restraints....the recently uploaded video from KI it'self (below) show yellow restraints. No matter how off the colors are in the picture, the yellow of the restraints would show through as the back of the Gondola does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Yeah, I think those really are replacements. The old ones were two-tone, and the surface texture on the darker bit was a dry orange-peel that I don't think mere paint would have obliterated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's been keeping Kings Island from having that? I don't mind the pop music here at KI, but I loved the diversity of music I heard at Kings Dominion when I visited five years ago. I still remember it vividly. You may not mind it now, but let's see if a summer working in the park changes that tune... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 ^At least she's not working in Planet Snoopy. I've heard many horror stories of employees being driven crazy by the music there. Plus working WindSeeker gets her the awesome soundtrack on that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I should also mention that KI's music is on a loop, and you'll hear the same music order every time, nearly at the same time of day as well. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubVLegend Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Quick question, anyone know if KI is doing anything for Easter? I know that KD has done an Easter Eggstravaganza the past couple years. If your gonna be open on Easter why not do something like that especially if you want a decent turn out for park numbers on a Holiday.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Nothing has been announced and there isn't anything on the events and promo page of the website. I don't think Kings Island is hurting for park guest numbers. If anything Holidays end up being busier than some Saturdays in the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Depending on how work goes on that Saturday (like if I'm an early-out and/or its not too busy), I may show up late on opening day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnaalexis Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Question and I should probably know this lol but... Do you have to get your season pass picture taken every year? If so are they/will they be open on Sundays? Trying to plan accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking finger crossed no issues this year! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It should be the same picture as last year. You should be able to go to any ticket windows/guest services/season pass processing area to double check that your picture is there and ready to go for the season. I've double checked a few times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnaalexis Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I want to do that before I go on easter, I just have to find and excuse to drive the 2 and a half hours up there for more than pass processing lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to make sure passes are done and we are in line super early to be one of the first riders of #MysticTimbers.

If you are lucky, you can delete the app on your mobile device and reinstall and add your passes and it should show if you have a picture associated with your pass - in years past I would do that when the photo mysteriously disappeared from the app! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that (uninstall and re-install) in hopes of seeing my photos and confirming everything renewed fine, but it then said my android "does not support" this app...so if you do this, be careful as you might lose your app. I'm hoping an update will resolve this soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
