The pop of air into the brake is like what Racer was like before they removed the last dip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Orion Construction Photos
Well wouldn't you know. Sure looks like a bathroom to me, sitting right in Area72. Hmmm. Excuse me, I need to go ride Orion.

Viking Fury receiving a new paint job!
I don’t think I was picking fights. I’m not the one trying to shoot down everything people try to post, and act as if I know everything about the park, just because I’ve interviewed some people. I’ll be the first to tell people I don’t know everything about the park and I won’t pretend to act as if I know everything about the park. There are others that know way more than I do. I also know there are many sides to every story. This is another example why membership here has dramatically fallen over the last 2-3 years. All I can say is I wish him luck on his book. Peace Out. I’m done here.

I would guess $$. I do believe that is the same Color as DB supports and it is needing a paint job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kings Island Vintage Photos - 1973-1992
I’m glad I will be interviewing the Joiner family and hear all about their trips to the park starting in the early 70s.

The Proposed CCI Dueling Coaster
Well if it’s a problem, I’m sure the admins will do their job and suggest it. If it’s not, it’s not. Since I’m not an admin, I don’t worry about things I don’t need to worry about. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why? Completely different subjects.

Are Dark Rides Worth the Investment?
I think with all the problems you mention, current technology should be able to resolve those issues. There are a lot of new mold resistant materials, new more efficient ventilation systems, a lot items can me less mechanical. I really thing they could do it and at a lot less cost of the original EV.

I’d suggest stepping away from the keyboard for a while. Just some advice from someone who’s walked down the road of life a little longer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kings Island @ Night Photo Contest
How did you manage to get a photo of Orion with Orion when the Constellation is only visible starting in late November and this area was closed off during Winterfest.

That’s actually the next map I’m restoring. I have the 1972 map digitized and restore. Waiting to print copies. But I will have some special editions ready for the 50th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Possibility of another 200ft+ Coaster
Kings Island could really use a 200+drop ground up RMC terrain coaster that is hidden. There is a percentage of the general public that see very tall coasters and say "nope!". But if you had another hidden terrain coaster like The Beast, something from RMC or GG, the GP would love it just as much as enthusiasts. It's all about perception.
