Just heard a guest say that they're building "The New Beast" and it should be ready by next year. Why did no one tell me this?!? I should listen to the Dippin' Dots guy more often.

Me riding Vortex for the final times today: (GIF can be taken two ways)

The Racer is only four rows deep into the queue...

Wow. Awesome. Hey, have you heard about the webcams?

The term is "derailments". A popular element and park staple in my Roller Coaster Tycoon parks. The guests always leave happy! Guests have caught on in my Planet Coaster parks, though.

I'll say this again... The placement of this ride is perfect. Doesn't block anything, it just adds to the park's skyline.

Looking good!

Power must be back on because the eyes at the top of the tower were on when I paced by, or that wasn't the problem at all.

You're kidding me, right?

You know what the park should do? Besides putting up the Christmas tree at the front gate during Haunt, they should put it up at beginning but turn it into a Witches hat. That couldn't be that hard, right? It would look pretty good and they don't have to worry about putting it up with two weeks of Haunt left.

I've never seen a mime here before. Really cool addition. Was thinking they could have a character/actor in Rivertown, too.

Any idea what this building will be used for?

That's gonna be awesome looking. I remember going for Steel Vengeance's media day and you couldn't see the top of the hill. Was an amazing experience.

The best time to arrive in my opinion is right at opening, but with fright lane it doesnt matter. They do have an opening ceremony (I've yet to see it), so if you want to see it make sure you go before it happens (7:30). 9 is a solid time especially with fright lane. I usually go on Fridays and the longest lines to get into the park has been at the most 20 minutes. The park usually dies down around 11, and usually the busiest around 830 and 9. Also, welcome to KIC!

Some more great photos. New angles of Orion, too.

Their recent post on Instagram of the bottom of the 300 foot drop.

Glad to see that the Undertaker is back in the front of the park.

Here's another article I just came across. "While no specific comment was made regarding the Reuters article of SIX making a bid for FUN, management did state that the company is NOT looking to be sold." https://www.streetinsider.com/dr/news.php?id=15983749

I'd really like to see a RMC coaster in that spot. Something like Goliath at Six Flags Great America would be awesome.

Same day. Also the same time they announced Firehawk was leaving.

Wasn't there a tomb stone relating to Vortex right behind Firehawk's funeral site last year? Maybe it was KI quietly saying that Vortex's end is not too far behind. Edit: Some scientist?

I haven't seen this mentioned but I just noticed that exactly a year ago they announced that Firehawk was leaving (September 27th, 2018).

When I was looking at some air shots I saw something that looked like a piece to a tunnel. Saw that piece moving earlier today. Any ideas what that could be?

Something just feels off with this. Such short notice, and back to back years they've done this. I wish they'd give an actual explanation.

I saw a red one across the river yesterday.
