Yes, and it has been very smooth all year so what happened? We were on train 1 which of 1 and 2 is better.. Something changed.
-
Yes I did my visit ride on Blue Racer but it was oddly rough. That side has been like glass so far this year and not sure what was up....
-
Has all track for Orion been delivierd to KI? If not, how much is left.
-
Doing early morning watching and see Zepher running... wonder if people are on it :-)
-
I think it might be the next piece of the main lift hill to go up. But think they need Clifford or such to do the lift. Plus they need to put up next set of supports.
-
Do we know the angle of the first drop?
-
Well we expect something like 'Clifford the Big Red Crane' for the upper lifts of the ride track.
-
It has been laying on the ground next to the crane for a couple days now. Looks like it will connect transfer track section to the piece already up.
-
I know but the road they use to bring track and equipment is in sight. It is the area where we saw the first piece of track coming in the other day.
-
you have a psuedo one now if you watch the Banshee cam
-
They are putting up what looks to be a building about 2/3 the way down the ride in the woods. You can see the concrete from the Blue racer. What will that be?
-
They retracked blue this past year and it is WONDERFUL!!! So really hoping they would do the same to red over this 2019 winter. Of course Blue does not open till noon and why? They just retracked it so open it early and red late.....

What is the angle of drop on the first hill?

I was riding Racer (blue) last night with my 'We rode backwards when I was a kid (racer)' shirt. Had the ride op take a picture of it. Great shirt from CincyShirts.
-
So any ideas on the length of the new coaster?
-
just curious, but will this coaster break any records (height, length...)?
-
I think they should go for the worlds longest steel coaster to have both Beast and Beast Unleashed to be the record holders....
-
Hey, what about something very old coming back..... Racing Steeplechase ride....
-
We have been to Winterfest a couple times so far and hope to go on Dec 30th. I was bummed they had no Mystic Timbers shirts that had Winterfest themes. There was a Santa sled on a coaster with a slogan 'Ride All Day' or such on International street. Hope they add some next year as that is on my wish list.

Is Mystic Timbers running this week?

Growing up my dad's company did summer picnics at Coney Island. Then when they built KI we started there from its opening. I remember my dad getting into the park area and driving along side the construction of The Racer. As a kid, I was a big cyclist and got a KI season pass and would ride my bicycle there a lot (about a 9 mile ride from my house). I have had a season pass every year they have been sold. The first year there was only around 100 people. I spoke to Rob Decker at the Mystic Timbers Media Day again this year and we spoke about this as well. I wish I still had my original pass. They used to just have a person with a clipboard write down your name when you came into the park. I would love to know if there are any other people out there that have been a pass holder all these years....

I agree with most about the train and its position of where you sit and how much you see. It would be nice for the train to pull up a few more feet and then stay there until the front screen is mostly done. If in front you see beginning but not end, if in back you see end not beginning. Hoping they read this and can adjust the placement of the train for the Shed.

Here is an article from a Holiday Inn magazine in 1972 plus the 1972 Guide Book. Ah the good old days....

Got 6 laps this morning (2 in dark and 4 in light). It is AMAZING!
-
I bought one of these shirts last year on closing day.
