LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 There's some kind of material flapping on the lens of the camera now and it's super distracting. Can we get someone to wipe it off? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowball Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I just noticed they've started painting all of the maintenance sheds to match CHAOS and FOF. When did that happen? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did that happen? I think they started that like a week ago. What I would love for them to do someday is move the maintenance/storage area to where that building is behind Orion and turn the current buildings and area into an interactive type attraction. Think Forbidden Frontier at CP, but with an Area 51/space/military vibe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm imagining him switching it up and going by helicopter for pictures and then hovering by the Eiffel Tower to clean off the lenses of the 2 cameras. Just wait until the freezing rains we get this winter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you know how KI puts the fake spiderwebs up high! We are just a little late this year with some of them. 12 minutes ago, silver2005 said: Now I'm imagining him switching it up and going by helicopter for pictures and then hovering by the Eiffel Tower to clean off the lenses of the 2 cameras.

Lol 10 minutes ago, Snowball said: Somehow I don't think the park would approve of that. Nah. They get upset over something as little as pictures, so flying that close would definitely be a big no-no. (For any KI higherups: I still love you Kings Island. That was a joke. I understand why, and I'll still respect what you guys want.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hey @sixohdieselrage I can't tell you the number of times I've been in the park and saw an airplane fly by and immediately thought "Is that Sixohdieselrage?" Or I also saw hot air balloons from the ET and was like "Maybe sixohdieselrage is trying something new lol." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hey, we're just simply giving the public what they want. Watching a modern engineering work of art go up without obstructions- serious business. On a more curious note- does anyone know why they'd be covering the ground with what looks like big wooden boards? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time a plane flies towards the park: "Oh I wonder if we're getting aerial pics soon?". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can actually get to my neighborhood by taking back roads by Kings High School down by the powder factory. I can see the fireworks from my bedroom window during the summer.

Snowball Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I live in the opposite direction between the airport and KI, I can see the glow of the fireworks but not the fireworks themselves because of trees in the way!

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 So something to consider: the start of the brake run will be about the same height as the lift hill portion that we have now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 such a huge break run lol Makes sense why but still very long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I knew this was because I previously calculated the highest point of the brake run and found it would be about the same height as The Racer's lift hill. And when I was at KI last weekend and rode The Racer, I realized the Orion lift hill portion there now was about the same height as The Racer's lift hill. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI FANATIC 37 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 And normally they do not pour the concrete for the queue until much later in the process. I may be incorrect but I believe they didn't pour Banshee queue until like February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Yeah, the queue area is like toward the very end of construction. January and February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
