February 16, 200719 yr KI has released its first official construction photos from the Firehawk construction site. These can be found in the KI Media Center and clicking "Construction Photos" Here's a lazy-link http://www3.cedarfair.com/kingsisland/news...cfm?item_id=487
February 16, 200719 yr Good find Reclamer Wow!! They really got camera happy too! Looks like they are hard at work.
February 16, 200719 yr Just one? They should hire me as their photographer, Id get out there with my nice Evolt SLR and have pictures up, post processed, framed, and catered to the public. But KI does a good job too.
February 16, 200719 yr http://multimedia.pki.com/images/news/CIMG1318.JPG Looks like some of the footings are finished. Is it Memeorial Day yet?
February 16, 200719 yr I wonder when those were taken... vertical constuction should start in the coming days or they are behind.
February 16, 200719 yr No i watched x-flight be built and vertical construction started the 22nd i think...
February 16, 200719 yr Author Looks like we may be treated to Winter Photos of the park sometime soon...the photo gallery is empty for now, but the category was just added: http://www3.cedarfair.com/kingsisland/news/list.cfm?mc_id=97
February 16, 200719 yr Author lol yeah, they just put them up. Umm, I've never really been in the park in the off-season, so could someone that has tell me if they normally remove the Coke vending machines or is this one of those Maureen hints? http://multimedia.pki.com/images/news/CIMG1305_mc3.JPG
February 16, 200719 yr Author Have the taken them out in the past? You seem like the kind of guy that would have been in the park in the off-season. I'm hoping for confirmation that this is indeed the first time they've been removed.
February 16, 200719 yr I have never seen vending machines removed in the offseason before these photos.
February 16, 200719 yr Right. I`ve been in the park a couple of times before in the offseason, and not once have I seen vending machines removed. This could mean a couple of things. A, those machines were old and needed to be replaced. B, Cedar Fair wants to remove some of the vending machines that are located throughout the park. Or C, Cedar Fair is switching soft drink companies at the former corporate parks to take better advantage of the cost synergies between the larger amount of parks. I personally think that it will be for option C. Which is something I do not like because I much prefer Coca-Cola over Pepsi, but I will drink Pepsi if I have to.
February 17, 200719 yr Hey - I started a thread a while back about the Coke/Pepsi thing...look it up! Maybe the machines needed to get their signs replaced, or maybe CF doesn't want machines that don't work (seems like every time I try to get a pop out of the machine, it eats my money). Or, maybe this is a hint from Maureen?
February 17, 200719 yr Pepsi Cola Hits The Spot Twelve Full Ounces That's A Lot.. Twice as Much for A Nickel Too... Pepsi Cola Is The drink for you Nickel, nickel, nickel Trickle, Trickle, Trickle. Well, I bet they won't be a nickel. Or will we be having a Coke and a smile?
February 17, 200719 yr Author I won't be smiling if Coke is still in the parks come April. As for the nifty song...I think it'll be updated a bit, though it doesn't have the same ring to it: "...Pepsi Cola is the drink for you Three fifty, three fifty, three fifty It's nifty nifty nifty"
February 17, 200719 yr Maybe they're just changing machines. Didn't they all have the "p" word on them?
February 17, 200719 yr Love the new site without the "P" and the pics are looking great. So far only complaint is the name of Firehawk, but even with that 07 is looking great.
February 17, 200719 yr Wow you're Firehawk's construction foreman?? Sure he is! When hes not busy "Pretending to be busy" cause the thinks thats good guest service. Disclamer: MutedDarkness was a seasonal employee at X flight for one year before that he was just an ordianry park guest. Never has he been involved with the construction of X flight nro any Vekoma Flying Dutchman. My Canon could kick your camera's proverbial arse. Oh, no you didnt. Dont even let me and Dane get started on you about the superiority of the Olympus Evolt E-500
March 1, 200719 yr The construction pics at pki.com have a few new pics added to it. The newer pics are at the the top. http://www1.cedarfair.com/kingsisland/news...cfm?item_id=487
