LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 So they're going to install the whole darn lift hill/drop and we're going to miss all of it. Way to go, Kings Island. 12 2 1
JonahWilliamson Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Building timelapse is going to be Station, Break run, One image flash .10 second long and the lift and drop will be done, Then the rest of it. 5
KI FANATIC 37 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 I wonder if they will move the webcam when they are building back by the turnaround and the rest of the ride. My gut says they wont. 2
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 I absolutely hate the Hitler parodies since I believe it is offensive to Jews and/or people who are related to anyone who were a part of the Holocaust, but I wonder if someone is going to make a Hitler parody on the KI webcams being down during a big part of construction. 2 3

Just so everyone knows I am not requesting anyone to make that because as I said before I find the Hitler videos offensive to people who are related to anyone who were a part of what Hitler did.
PatchesC Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Chad posted progress on the Eiffel Tower. Looks like they only have 6 strands of lights up so far, hopefully they don't need it complete before the cams come back on. https://mobile.twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/1187056768599416834 2

Or was this Cedar Fair preparing for Six Flags? That is some effective marketing campaign they have going. I had to google what Takis were.
JonahWilliamson Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Imagine being able to walk in an empty Kings Island to take a pic and post it to twitter. 4

The resolution is not great, and if I recall they are black and white as well on Vortex. They updated them pretty big from what I remember seeing. They are all infared now as well.

sixohdieselrage Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 @JonahWilliamsonSlightly better night vision. Starlights are the best though. 2
ohiocoasterfan Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 I’m not sure how Wildgravitytravels got this pic but it looks like we have drop backbone and second lift hill support and track in place. 4

pkiknex25 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 To further clarify, the first lift support (in sequence) is below the treeline. 3
JonahWilliamson Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 And earlier i thought i saw another lift support up but it was just the back bone and drop that i was seeing if thats what you were getting at 1
Nova Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Does anyone else notice the head chopper track installed under the drop or is that just the next piece they are lifting 1
sixohdieselrage Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 @Nova That's just the next piece that is being lifted. Also, welcome to KIC. 2
pkiknex25 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Not my picture, not my Istagram account. 5 2
Kodistict Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 If the webcam isn't up tomorrow, I don't know when it will lol. By tomorrow it would have been down for 5 days. It is fun doing this the old way though. 4

Nutterie Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 To celebrate 100 pages, they should bring back the cameras 1 3
