Mystic Timbers Construction Progress
Watch the video. Don clearly says that no one has guessed correctly what's in the shed. I know I'm stumped. It seems like just about everything has been guessed.

Mystic Timbers Construction Progress
I wouldn't blame the park one bit if they didn't invite the enthusiasts to the media event. I think parks are getting tired of giving out freebies to enthusiasts only to be trashed on social media because they didn't get the attraction they wanted. I like getting invites as much as anyone else but the trash talk on social media is ridiculous this year. I think the worst I have ever seen.

Mystic Timbers Construction Progress
I just watched the pov again and there does appear to be 16 airtime hills. If you look carefully you can see when it is curving to the left and to the right,you are dropping down a small hill at the same time.

- New For 2017: Mystic Timbers!
I love The Beast but The Beast is not as intense as people talk it up to be. The newer woodies are actually far more intense then The Beast is. The Beast is longer for sure and a great night ride but not all that intimidating. I rode The Beast when I was 9 years old and was not scared by it at all. I look for Mystic Timbers to be quite intense with all the airtime.- Does Living Close To KI Take The Magical Out Of It?
For me no. It's like a second home to me. I go almost every week on my day off. I have had some wonderful times at KI . I have made a lot of lasting friendships going to KI. So for me it's still a very magical place.- Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees

One of the teasers a while back was over the river and there was a video of running water . It looked like it was Whitewater Canyon to me.- Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees
It was at the start. The pic was taken from the exit. There were markers beside the lift at the end of the ride also. My guess is it's going to cross over WC in several places . I thought I got a pic of the markers around the lift but it wasn't on my phone. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk- Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees
I was with a friend yesterday and we got a picture of markers along the sides of Whitewater Canyon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk- WCPO: Woman asked to upgrade son's Jr Season Pass mid season
This happened to me also. A friend and I were eating in the parking lot and security said the park does not allow food being brought in. Well we were outside the gate in the parking lot. I don't know what is going on with Kings Island right now. They never said anything in the past. In fact they always had picnic tables right outside the front gate.- No Loose Articles in the Banshee Station
The one thing I have an issue with is if someone is not riding and is going to hold a bag for another they still won't let them in line to wait with the other person. I saw this for myself the last day I went . This family wanted to ride Banshee and they had those sports quarts with them and they were going to have there son hold on to them while they rode. There son was too small to ride so he was going to wait in line with them then just walk a crossed and hold there drinks. They still would not allow it. The kid was to small to ride anyway. They still had to get a locker. I think they just walked away without riding. I don't blame the family for walking away in this case. If someone is not riding and holding on to there families stuff they have to wait on the midway. I think that is going overboard.- FUNTV First Impressions?
If I wanted to watch TV I would just stay home. I was glad when they got rid of the tvs they had before. Nothing like trying to get people to move in line when there watching TV . I remember with the old tvs , you had to yell 10 times you can move up now and finally they would go,oh yeah. I hated those and not really happy to see them returning.- The Bat flies again at Kings Island

Kings Island used to be really good at theming before the Paramount days. When Taft owned the park each section was themed along with its own music. You didn't have pop music playing in Rivertown or International Street.- The Bat vs The Banshee
I like them both.- Enchanted Voyage Footage
The best ride that was ever in that building. It was my favorite ride at KI when I was a little kid.- How good was the 2013 season at Kings Island?
I think it was a great year. The announcement of Banshee,and three of the Brady Bunch returning to KI again this year. I grew up with that show so it was a lot of fun getting to meet them. I didn't get to go when they were there in 2008.- Exclusive Banshee Construction Photos 10-24-13
Great pictures!! Thanks for sharing .- Banshee Construction Progress
I rode Diamondback last Friday night. I find nothing rough about Diamondbck. I think many people are getting to the point that if they feel a little vibration or a little rattle they say the ride was rough. I continue to ride Diamondback in every seat and I don't find it rough.- Pay as you go haunt.
When Paramount started this event which then it was called Fear Fest was a separate ticket event. It didn't attract as many guests as they liked so they made it open to season passes and general admission. There are some of us who don't even go for the Haunt in the first place. I go to get some night rides on my favorite coasters. It's the only time of year that you get many hours of night riding in. I would not want it to be a separate event again.- Remnants of past attractions
The building that is used for Boo Blasters was originally The Enchanted Voyage. It was my favorite rides at Kings Island.- Banshee Screaming Contest
Knott's won't allow them. I would never go to Knott's. I have safety glasses and I have to wear them at all times. I have vision in only one eye so I have to have that protection. If anything happened to the other eye I would be blind and I would never take that chance. I take my glasses off to sleep but not to ride a coaster.- Would you give up your Halloween Haunt Gold pass perk for a more intense Halloween Haunt?
No,I go for the night rides not the Haunt. I don't really care for the Haunt . I love riding The Beast late at night though.- Banshee Construction Progress
That's why I often feel the way I do about many people. The park was there before a lot of those houses were even built. So I think I am going to have a new house built and there is some nice property right buy this amusement park. After I move in I am going to complain about all the noise the comes from the park. I just love people like that. I know it happens all the time though. - New For 2017: Mystic Timbers!
