this may be a rather ' STUPID' question but.......

Were exactly will the train and queuing station be?

Many believe it will be south...towards Nick U.

The good news is I did some scrutinizing this past Saturday, and it definitely appears the Swan Lake path should re-open next year after D-back work is complete!

Well it looks like they've adjusted the camera a bit

It's been like that for a while.

darn! I haven't been able to keep up with the cam the past few days due to work and classes. I'm always a little late to the game. haha

I think they should get some work done today now that it's quit raining.

A bit foggy?

Anyone know what's up with the cameras?

ROFL...they covered it up.. :lol: :lol:

(idk if they can get any work done..)

Wow, its really still that foggy up at Kings Island? I drove through a ton of fog to get to UC this morning, but right now the sun is out and the sky is free from any clouds or remnants of fog.

After it didn't clear for awhile I thought there was an issue but it looks like its clearing up now.

I was just checking out the webcam and you can start to see the track finally. Must remember that Diamondback is situated in all those trees and in somewhat of a valley. I think the fog will tend to hang around Diamondback back in the valley which could make it an even better ride on cool nights.

yes that would be aweSOME.

I doubt they would want to be lifting big heavy pieces of steel 50+ feet in the air in fog, so I doubt they get anything major done today.

Well the fog has lifted, but depending on the amount of rain the ground may not be suitable for lifting today. I dont think it rained that much though.

Some areas recieved more than others, and you can never be to safe.

I live 2 minutes away from KI. It didn't rain at all this morning. It was just very foggy so they probably didn't get anything done...

I love it, I can walk out of school, look to the left and see the big red beautiful crane....

^^Do you go to Kings High School??

omg..that would be just....

too good to be true.

Latest from the desk of Don Helbig:

Just a little tidbit from under the black hat. Season pass holders will be the FIRST to have the opportunity to experience the 230' steel monster.... but more on that later.

Wow nice pic update. Oh snap season pass holder preview day woot woot!

Sweet

Every bit of progress on this ride has me more and more excited for next April, I can't wait to get out to Halloween Haunt to see this thing in person.

Thanks to Don Helbig for keeping us updated! I had the pleasure of meeting him last year and he truly is a class act and an all around nice guy.

*does his happy disco dance*

Season Pass Holder Preview day! Woo Woo! Gold or Platinum? I might have to downgrade to a Gold due to money issues.....

This morning as the paving was beginning.

A season pass holder day is cool and all but I bet 3/4 to 1/2 of KI visitors are pass holders and the number may go up even more since the addition of Diamondback so how much will it really cut down on the line?

Beast1979... maybe if you weren't on the computer having updates at the top and bottom of each hour you may have less money issues.

Speaking of finances... I think Kings Island may want to reconsider the name of the coaster and maybe go for:

Dow Jones, The Ride

Wall Street

Stock Market Thrill Coaster

or maybe they'll put a Dive Coaster in next year. If they do- can someone remember I came up with a name!

Ha! I got your joke! The dive...and the DOW... and the stocks...

Wow, you're a quick one.

I know right!

And much of what you know is right. Always be good to yourself!
