Markers Placed by Old Columbia Rd.
Fast Lane temperature check! (In all seriousness it's probably just a new fence or underground utility, seems to just be in a straight line. Maybe they're burying the old above ground power lines?)

Kings Island's next big coaster a ground-up R.M.C?
I think it would be pretty safe to say that Cedar Fair just outright got fed up with Intamin, especially after the Maverick woes and then outright demolishing Shoot the Rapids. If they were still going to be Intamin customers, Copperhead Strike would probably have been Intamin instead of Mack.

Orion Reviews
Literally the ONE TIME I forgot my belt holster in 2010 (still had a flip), the phone managed to get out of my pocket and fall into the seat. By the time I noticed it was missing, the train had already been dispatched again with that car empty.

Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
There was an O'Rourke excavator back on site after the park reopened, so they're probably just getting the rest of the foundations and debris cleaned up.

New no smoking policy inside the park?
It’s right there in the upper half of the “When You’re In The Park” part of the guide, not even down in the FAQ part.

New no smoking policy inside the park?
Only smoking area is outside the front gate. The usual ones are probably where the no-mask zones will be.

And that's from before they added the "ear pads" sort of like those on Invertigo. I recall they used to keep Advil packets like what First Aid gives you at the photo booth at the exit.

Kings Island Audio Archive
It will, with a much better player than the old flash playlist currently used.

Kings Island Audio Archive
I intend to update the flash players to HTML5/Javascript players in the near-ish future, and certainly before end of Flash support.

Another long lost proposed Kings Island Wooden coaster!
Honestly if they had built a Dinn twister with PTC trains like that it would probably have joined the RMC club by now. Diamondback, if still a Rivertown location, would probably be where Mystic is now, at least the station area.

I wonder what happened to that part of Firehawk's loop that was left intact and laying behind FOF for a while...

Nah SLCs aren't that bad. 2020 is Son of Beast in the back seat of the original 6-car Premier trains.

Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
I’ve always thought right on the path directly across from Dodgem and the Skyline patio would be a great place for a Giant Wheel, like the Geauga one that KD got

I’m Writing the First KI History Book!
Will it be on the Apple iBooks store?

There's usually at least some mulch/basic landscaping space between the queue or path areas and the fence, what they have up currently looks like the same basic stuff they put up around Vortex so could be temporary, or maybe just not painted or themed yet.

It’s only 3.6 roentgen, not great not terrible.

Kings Island losing B&M?
Eh, for a non-B&M sitdown looper I could totally see a Steel Curtain-ish S&S. IMO it would even be fitting, since modern S&S coasters are sort of the evolution of Arrow.

All Great Wolf Lodge locations are closing for the rest of the month. Full statement on their site.

I find the 500-cycle thing unrealistic,at least for them to be uninterrupted. 500 problem-free cycles in a row would be a challenge for any ride, let alone a brand new one figuring out any kinks.

That's just your ears having a total eclipse of the heart.

Vortex Removal Updates
The first drop was downed between 12:45 and 1, barely visible on the camera, but visible.

How well does your cell phone work at KI?
Perfectly fine on Verizon in general, signal can be problematic while inside the Flight of Fear building (and in the past, the TRTR/Crypt building).

Locals concerned that Kings Island is violating noise ordinances
Well, that was unexpected. I figured Orion had sand in the rails from the start, but adding sand to the spine on parts of Diamondback after 11 years? They added sand to the spine on Leviathan's first drop at CW after the first season because of how close that park is to residential (surrounded, actually) but that's after one season, not 11 years...
