sixohdieselrage Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I'm legit about to post pictures that park management doesn't want let out in spite of this. Kentucky Kingdom definitely has better media relations. They at least invite the right people. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing of note is that it’s clear that they have a piece of support ready for another section of the lift hill. Hopefully that will go up by this weekend! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm behind the times!! There also appears to be the next piece of the drop side being moved over to where it's going to live, which is odd, it seems late in the day to still be throwing around track pieces. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixohdieselrage Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Seriously Kings Island.... You want to show off your new shiney toy. But you chose the worst people to invite. At least have a couple enthusiasts to go along. I mean, what does it say to have people(the media) broadcasting stuff that isnt accurate/credible? For example, who cant tell the difference between a maintenance shed (shush, you nitpickers. Lol) and a station? I could go on and on, but this isnt the right thread. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I would love to be invited and have it shared by Coaster Conquest. That way you can also share to enthusiasts as well as the GP. @sixohdieselrage I feel ya man! Edited October 7, 2019 by Maverick44 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodistict Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 It looks like two drop spine pieces are being assembled, could we possibly be seeing those pieces being installed tomorrow or the next day? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking they are putting together all the sections they can so they only need to use Zeus a couple of days. I could see T-Bone and Cleo putting section together while Zeus puts them in place so they can work quickly. So Zeus isn't there more then a few days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, it looks like you edited your post from earlier to say Zeus, I think the old name you gave it had something to do with the name Clifford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenageninja Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Really surprised they let John walk around with his hardhat on backwards, they aren't certified by OSHA to be worn backwards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 There’s something about that Matarese guy that rubs me the wrong way. Well, several things actually. I don’t trust him. 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
