Kodistict Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 It's a nice clear day out for the webcams. I'm not sure if they are working today though. I cant believe we are almost to the speed hill! They have been speeding through lately! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethancoaster Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 They usually get Sundays off, so I would think not. However, I think it’s likely the speed hill gets completed by the end of the upcoming week. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Very happy that they readjusted the cam so that the entire ride is in view rather than it cutting off the station area. Makes me wonder if it's manually adjusted and you can't for-sure tell where it's pointing lol edit - I'm aware I'm not the first to notice it; just been sitting on that desire for awhile :p 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this will be the final "move" of the webcam. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I happen to be schooled online at home on a regular computer so I can check back and forth here and there. Back when I was in public school, I would get yelled at every now and then for looking at coaster updates on the chromebook when I was supposed to be working on school stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fyrfyter Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I swear all of the track work might be done by the end of February or even January if they keep this up Thank the warm Winter this year. Usually, it’s bitter cold at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The turn around appears to be a bit tighter in diameter and much higher banked than what was shown in the renderings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Of course the DB cam is all blurry just like the Carowinds Copperhead strike cam was all winter long. We won't get to see much of Vortex's removal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver8rws Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 This was surely already brought up, but doesn't Kings Island have ANYONE under their employment that knows how to change the NAME of the cam from "Kings Island Banshee" to "Orion"???!! Also, "Diamondback cam" is down/not working for me... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillKingsFitzy Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I don't see how people find other coasters being opening this year to be more exciting. Who doesn't love a 85 degree 300 foot drop with possibly more airtime moments than fury? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't tell me the other 2 cams just didn't get dirty like this one. They don;t want us seeing Vortex being removed and also want to keep cams up. I think its a filter they can use somehow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond vertical drop hyper hybrid from RMC. Pantheon looks really good too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Gwazi is at first and Orion is at second. Sorry Maverick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On topic, now that we have the turnaround almost completed, how are those here comparing it to Fury's turnaround? Obviously it is in reverse and doesnt have that dip going into the peak, but it does look like it is more aggressively profiled at 45 feet taller. I think its going to be hard even at behind the scene events to get a angle to manipulate the perspective to get it to look like a treble cleft or ampersand regardless for a more apples to apples comparison. I grabbed a screenshot from the last KI video for comparison as this is an angle none of us could have legally gotten at this time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillKingsFitzy Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 That speed hill might be one of the greatest airtime moments. It's my most anticipated part tied with the drop. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
