Probably changed the title to say it is a new position with a totally different pay scale.

If I had to guess, (TOTAL GUESS) they are waiting on a part from Intamin. Seems to happen a lot with that manufacturer.

Really cool story. Thanks for sharing the link.

I would agree unless we see definitive evidence otherwise. With all the staff cuts across the chain, I would agree with the second statement as well.

Even Silver Dollar City has more extreme coasters than KI. We definitely need a few "What did I just ride?" coasters.

Congratulations! The newest coaster enthusiast will be here before you know it.

Based on relaxing, I choose IS. Just enjoying a drink with some Fountain ERT & seeing others have a great day really allows me to forget about everything outside those turnstiles for a while.

Running all 3 today.

I forgot to add the followup after my post. We went to ride Beast after a ride on MT. It had a full queue. I started laughing out loud thinking about what that guy thought when he got over there.

@Dane controls the ads. I don't have access to that as far as I know. I will give him a text and see if he can get it fixed.

Thank you and I agree. You must see it in person. Here is the clip. PXL_20250419_183749675.mp4

I am happy to upload them to our galleries @BB1. Fence photo!

Mine did last Saturday.

Just now, sitting in the brake run of Diamondback. "We'll go ride The Beast next. It's so old no one rides it. We'll get right on it."

Now that Xtreme Skyflyer is no more, what do you think will end up in it's place? Here is the photos I look on Pass Holder Preview.

Season Pass Holder Day 2025!

Season past preview day. It's a big nope and park is packed.

Well, I've only been on two rides so far. Diamondback is two trains but Misty was three.

What is Backlot? Full queue and 2 of the bottom queues full at DB!

Launching today is “Queen City Stunt Coaster”, the renamed Backlot Stunt Coaster, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this season. The coaster, which accelerates to 40 mph in just 3 seconds, has been renamed to honor Cincinnati by featuring its beautiful skyline and iconic landmarks.

Please use this thread to update wait times for the 2025 season! Please remember a ride going down is normal and it's okay to report, but please don't post "Riders are stuck on the lift hill of DB." A vague statement like that is not helpful and that is when the media starts calling the park. We hope you are excited to get the 2025 season started. With the additions to Soak City this year, those hot Summer days should be a little easier to bear. The KIC Admin looks forward to seeing everyone at the park this season.

LOL, I fixed it. Not sure how I made that mistake. Thanks, I worked really hard on the website to get it looking nice and clean. I am glad others find it helpful!
