LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 There is a Facebook post from Tony’s Welding and Fabrication, LLC on their work with the station steel placement. Based on the post, it sounds like their work is nearly done. Max may be leaving us soon. I encourage you all to look them up and view their photos, they are awesome. 4

ohiocoasterfan Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Looks like we got some work going on this morning. Hopefully more brake run supports and track go up today! 5
thatbandguy8807 Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Looks like they are currently doing more work with the break run Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 4
thatbandguy8807 Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Sorry for the double post. After watching the cam for some time the park looks absolutely dead. Guess the cold weather is keeping people away? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Showed up to the park last year during Haunt on a Saturday, rode everything except Firehawk at least once. Diamondback and Mystic Timbers were 5 minute waits or less early on. Then around 2pm the crowds began to kick in, those 5 minute waits became 30...45...and then by the time Haunt began they were up to an hour. Granted the ride crews at KI have also been doing a great job so the longest I actually had to wait was 1 hour for a Beast night ride, Mystic Timbers was only a 45 minute wait in spite of being listed at 75 since the ride crew was getting trains out very fast. Then around 11pm, people begin to leave usually, so the lines ease up a bit around this time- though they don't go back to how short they were in the morning, they will go from say a 60 minute wait for Beast to about 30'ish towards close. If you don't mind staying late, you can sometimes grab 2-3 extra night rides on coasters and stuff if you get lucky. 1
thatbandguy8807 Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Wasn't sure if those patterns were still true or not honestly. I remember that being the case when I used to work at the park in rides. Thanks for the info everyone Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 2

CedarIslander Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 My three favorite photo ops in one pic: a beautiful sunrise, low hanging fog, and a gorgeous coaster! Good morning, everyone! 2 1
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Good morning, all. My family and I will be there today, so I hope to get a few decent pics from the FoF queue area. 4
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I plan to be there after church today to check this out for myself. I have not been to the park since the announcement so this will end the streak. 5

Good luck, I just attempted to go, the line of cars going in was two wide, bumper to bumper all the way down Kings Island Dr in both directions. I don't need to see it that badly lol. It's bring a friend day so I assume that's why.

KIghostguy Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Flight of Fear is in the process of being repainted. There is a new coat on the hangar doors and the blue stripe around the building. 9

Everything looks the same to me and the blue has water stains and scuffed in a few places. I could be wrong, but the hangar door, I am pretty sure was repainted before this season.

I’ve attached a photo from April 14 of this year and a photo from today. I went up and touched the hangar door and it is fresh paint. Two paint buckets are hidden behind the fog machine in the outer left corner. 12
bjcolglazier Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Makes sense they would be sprucing up the area with the new ride coming. I'm just so glad Flight of Fear is still around---amazing ride to this day. 9
