Kings Island 2017 Discussion Thread
I have a suspicion that they've arrived secretly.. maybe we won't be shown until the ride is testing.. anyone remember when we saw Banshee's first train? Idr seeing a train till video of the ride testing started

Which Ride Will Leave Next
I agree the old Skylab location could open up a new path towards x base.. that access road could be avoided by a balcony. And i will say it happens at times that I'll go to ride The Bat and turn back because the line is too long

What are Kings Islands Plans after Mystic Timbers?
Woodies has for awhile now, been a market that Kings Island had a presence in.. I hope CF will continue to let that live on, as they are, for now, doing

What are Kings Islands Plans after Mystic Timbers?
An RMC at KI would reallu stand out. Nowadays we seem to get rides that are comfortable, but exciting. We dont have those extreme rides like Maverick or I305 that CP and KD already have that can compliment the sometimes painfully forceful RMC airtime. Not saying this is "why we shouldn't have an RMC right now" that reason is called Mystic Timbers [emoji14]

Mystic Timbers Construction Progress
I could see that happening. Nature trying to put the truck (humans) through what the trees are made to go through; the sawing and shaping, sometimes heating. MT just got political; save the trees! lol

Mystic Timbers Construction Progress
I really am curious how the track work is coming along, we haven't seen many pictures back there except from the side, showing the structure being completed, but I wonder where the final shapings and the rails have already been installed at.

Hasn't stopped Six Flags, assuming B&M doesn't say backwards trains is alright on their coasters

Things that KI can improve on
Yes. I think we all wish KI was a flagship park still sometimes~ We used to have two 200+ but.... lol

That truck is gorgeous! Appropriately aged for the theme ... not that you'd have to physically age it yourself all that much Gonna need to start doing some research about Miami River Lumber Company lol Notice the truck in the photo is sitting JUST outside the webcam I wonder what else is at the park that we can't see

Kings Island 2017 Discussion Thread
Exciting! I can't wait to see Mystic Testing... but it looks like there's still a lot to do with the ride's buildings/ theming And I'm honestly a little concerned that the queue-crete hasn't been poured yet A month and a week till opening

Rumors 2017 onward
A lot of people I'd assume only come to KI because Spirit Song happens to be at the park and that allows them to enjoy the rides between acts they didn't come for etc.

Mystic Timbers Construction Progress
Yeah, its a little up in the air if this ride will have its own gift shop.. Maybe they're moving away from it after how few people seem to buy stuff after riding Banshee

Hahaha how cute! Basically what I was envisioning but larger front ~ thanks for the visual

Mystic Timbers Construction Progress
It's probably gonna be like New Texas Giant. GCI have lead chasis too. Have essentially a fancy rectangle on the front with a gap necessary from it and the front row gate portion... or even omit the usual gci gate for the first row. I dont think it's going to be severely hanging over the front

Cedar Fair Coaster Trends
I don't think they've done that before. The rides from geauga was when they want to make it a water park only

Mystic Timbers Construction Progress
Probably with a door

Best themed Coaster in the park
I'm not certain but this video has a little bit of fog shown.. everything else is missing.. I've heard from someone on the forums of some of the spikes in the tunnel that would detract or move in some way.. Also, really cool seeing the monorail? cutting over Adventure Express

https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/834132541674242048 According to this Feb 21 reply... there's a good chance they've at least partially arrived. Though a tweet a little later says no date has been finalized soo... One cant say for sure... yet

Virtual reality rides set to invade theme parks in 2016
VR needs to be on rides if the ride's designed to deal with the loading times.. Im not a fan of rides that offer multiple ride experience options for the same physical track. It makes the line feel slower as you have basically half the opportunities to ride even if you don't opt for the augmented reality
