*If* Backlot Stunt Coaster was removed....
It may not look the prettiest (by design of its original theme) and it may have terrible capacity, and it may be short, but at least it's fun~

I hope that we will be flying through this crossover cause those bents almost look to make a straight line, rather than a curve. Though a lot of people are expecting ejector, I think this coaster will have a lot of floater-ish like Diamondback and like Racers hills (the ones that actually have airtime still) Instagram.com/kingsislandpr Edit- there's another post by them as a slideshow where we can actually see the drop heading towards the lagoon. Also, bents are up... near the station maybe? The picture had a lonely set of bents next to nothing

FOF And Firehawk Cameras
I do wonder what the running cost was for those to warrant removal if they didn't sell well. They have some good power usage after an entire day I'm sure with a bulb that fast.

At the very least. They should've made it so it had a nice view when standing under the tower. But instead you see the backside of the parking facade (which is easy to miss because it faces the trees only) And the backside of a billboard. .

warm welcome
I believe it still gets tons of people. If I'm not mistaken, it just has rather fast dispatches

It doesnt seem like we're getting one! If the animation is accurate it seemed like the entrance to the turnaround didn't seem to have the nice pop like they usually have

My thought process was more on the lines of audience retention lol If it's once a day, most of the time I wouldn't expect much noticeable progress being made. But once a week or twice a month would allow the viewers to get hit with a good chunk of progress at a time.. But I may have over-thought this hehe

Maybe not once a day but that'd be cool

It looks like a majority of the the ride is almost pointing right at the camera~ we'll be able to judge progress fairly well despite it being super small *i hope anyways *

Looks as though they've gotten that crane out of the drop circle area so we can stop wondering when they'll move it.. The answer was Nov 4th.. ish.

If you wonder why people often have so many loose articles... Sometimes... -People want to bring a camera (and who on this site doesnt appreciate the non-cell phone captures? -they NEED sunscreen -they need sunglasses for sensitive eyes (athletic strap makes them allowed on rides i believe, but I would never trust that) -some people have medicine they need to take. (Hopefully it's not altered by hot temperatures) -their job is on-call Idk. I assume there could be others. And sure, dont bring a camera or sunglasses.. but the other points are pretty valid, I think

Christmas Nights of Lights Coming to Coney Island
Caught them testing their lights as i was driving home last night on 275.. definitely advertises for itself!

Scooby's Ghoster Coaster
Definitely very slow operations.. but it was cool having that lift, and though quite rough at the brakes.. I always liked how it wrapped around that airplane ride and how there were those remote control boats nearby.. I always thought it was cool, even though half the time it was too crowded to actually want to ride.

But what about Cedar Fair GCIs specifically?Do they interact with a ride or pathway that doesnt have coverings?

But also.. They probably intend for this to be high capacity with its 3 trains.. and it also goes over top of two rides, one of which doesn't have a convenient roof over the riders' heads. Just postulating, but I'm bettin' there will be a similar operation as Banshee.. Hopefully I'm wrong!

Kings Island 2016 Discussion Thread
I wonder if that might come up "I am scared of this ride/ I get hurt from this ride... can i switch it to another one?"

Maybe work on operations on a certain blue and a red inverted coaster [emoji14]

Season Pass Sale for 2017.
I'd be a little more expensive I bet to compensate for their cup stock, despite not having to make souviner cups. .. that were connected to the all season drinks

Mystic Timbers Construction Progress
I would expect it to still be rotated but to be included more than once

Has Dinosaurs Alive ran it's course?
This is the level of engineering that I was hoping for, and what I would've like to feel like it was worth the upcharge fee per walk

Most likely. Thats how the animation shows it. Being a full stop before the shed. Definitely enough space for at least 1 train in the shed. Probably another block just before the station, after the in-the-shed turn.
-
Mystic Timbers Construction Progress
I last took a picture with that shed thing on october 1st. So it's a fairly recent removal... not sure why it needed to be removed. And Magenta, I think you're right. I've been thinking that was the juxtaposition (correct word usage?) Of the tracks and queue for awhile now. Hence my photo of the train showing that the coaster could easily be tall enough yo go over the train.

Mystic Timbers Construction Progress
I believe that last photo is where the shed may end up. Up to right before the train tracks?
