Diamondback restraint thoughts
Today they were checking them with the restraints already down.

FUNTV First Impressions?
Was only inside the main queue for FoF for a quick minute opening day, but there are new TV screens that replaced the old monitors for the video. Not positive if it was the same video that played before, but I'm pretty positive. Definitely wasn't the typical FUN TV material.

Your Banshee Experience
I have to say Banshee is at my #2 spot for now, inching to try and take Millennium for #1. These are the only 2 rides that leave me speechless after each ride. Rows 7 and 8 for the first drop are absolutely AMAZING. Can't wait for future visits to ride the new star of the park.

Predicted Weather for Kings Island Opening day?
This has been the best weekend in months! It'll be hard to go back to the cold for a couple days.

Which part of Banshee are you most excited for?
I can't wait for the entire thing, but I'm super excited for the dive loop. I can just imagine the quick upside down view at the top. Can't believe Friday is just around the corner!

Banshee Construction Progress
That is what I was thinking I would gladly assist in the "paint drying" process!

How long of a wait?
Diamondback for me was 1 1/2 with the line stretching close to the Reds Hall of Fame Grill. I didn't even attempt to ride The Beast, queue was full with the line stretching to the Rivertown "midway." Operations were sadly a bit slow for Diamondback, but that is about expected on opening day.

Enquirer Article
I'm always amazed when I hear all the work they do to keep the rides running. Its absolutely something I take for granted.

Most Anticipated Thing at Kings Island 2013
I'm really curious about seeing AZ. I believe its going to feel really empty with 2 ride removals and no more water tower. I'm also very curious as to whats left with the SOB queue area.

Strange rumors you've heard
That rumor is absolutely false, but no I haven't heard it. I have of course been argued on people dying on SOB, and then there was a 30 minute spiel given to me by a GP in the Backlot queue.

2012-2013 Off-Season Improvements
I think this looks great. I really love these type of "path improvements." It really brings some freshness to areas.

Kings Island Pass Processing 4/14/2013
It has been quite awhile since posting on here, but my visit to KI has fueled the fire in my love for KI and amusement parks in general. I hope these photos will entertain a few people, or give spectators some views they have missed! This "trip report" will be of course VERY small and the phtos were all taken with an iPhone, but again hopefully a few will enjoy! Now on to the pictures! IMG_0438[1] by DamienConnelley, on Flickr Even though this photo does not do any justice, I love seeing the Eiffel Tower while driving down Tylersville rd. I think it really represents how much of an influence KI is on the area. IMG_0439[1] by DamienConnelley, on Flickr Since Invertigo is the most visually accessible coaster outside the gate, I took some easy shots. I'm still amazed at how much better Invertigo looks with the paint job from last season. IMG_0444[1] by DamienConnelley, on Flickr Another Invertigo photo from another angle. I was really hoping Invertigo would test while I was here today, it would've provided a lot better shots! IMG_0440[1] by DamienConnelley, on Flickr This was the shot I was most curious about. I find it very strange without SOB dominating here. It's definitely weird not having two hypercoasters flanking the park. IMG_0445[1] by DamienConnelley, on Flickr And just a quick photo of Diamondback, with Boo Blasters peeking through the beautiful trees. Thanks for viewing! I hope to start posting a lot more and start getting to know everyone better! Feel free to post your favorite photo points @ KI, I would love know! -Magm&MForce24/7

The picnic pavilions left of the entrance are still shown after 1 :25 for less then after it completes the turnaround.

Coke coming to all CF parks
Would they possibly keep the same products at the same parks? (ex-paramount Coke, and the rest Pepsi) It's strange as the Coke Freestyles are new and seem to be popular, but the flagships new show is sponsored by Pepsi.
