Not sure if you have seen this before, but I was in line and had a camera, so I though, "what the heck, why not"
March 17, 201115 yr That's nothing new it happens all the time. Trains get taken off and put on for many reasons .
March 17, 201115 yr I've never actually been there when they did that, cool video thanks for posting!
March 17, 201115 yr Awesome you got such a good video of the transfer! Thanks for sharing. IndyGuy would would love to be at KI waiting on the train to be transferred to the track so he could ride it!
March 18, 201115 yr That's nothing new it happens all the time. Trains get taken off and put on for many reasons . No need to be all high and mighty. People have not seen the trains on the transfer, happens all the time.
March 18, 201115 yr For most people that don't go to the park every single day for ERT, among other times at the park and see the transfer track it is a big deal. For one, you're talking about a multi-million dollar piece of machinery being used daily that no matter what it does, is beyond exciting. For another thing, don't ever discredit someone for seeing something that they find interesting that you find minuscule. Part of someones day at the park can be just experiencing simple things like the transfer track moving, riding the KI&MVRR, etc. If you don't think something is cool that someone else does (i.e. transfer track), then let them know something about the first time you saw the track move, how it made you feel, etc. Make the effort to get to know someone by having a good dialog with someone before just pushing their thoughts aside and making them feel like crap. It's not about who's seen the most things at the park, it's about the friendships you make and continue to let them grow instead of burning bridges.
March 18, 201115 yr I do apologize CoasterGeek101 for what the topic has turned to from your OP. I am glad that you got a video of the transfer track, some people do see it but most don't get it captured on "film". As I said in my post previous to this, I think it's amazing to see a 22 million dollar ride operate in all senses.

March 18, 201115 yr That is so cool! Thanks for posting. I've always wanted to see one of those in action.
March 18, 201115 yr Author That is so cool! Thanks for posting. I've always wanted to see one of those in action. Well, now you have! Thank you. And P.S. I love your avatar, I am a huge fan of P and F
March 18, 201115 yr That's a cool video. The process actually took longer than I would expect; I thought putting a train on the track would only take 1–2 minutes, not the 5ish that it took in the video. Thanks for posting it!
March 18, 201115 yr I've been there once when they were adding a train, but the queue was closed off and I barely saw it through the station. Thanks for sharing! Josh, who also gawks at minuscule engineering aspects of things, such as this.
March 18, 201115 yr Josh, who also gawks at minuscule engineering aspects of things, such as this. I'm sure the engineer who worked hard to design it, have it built, and made sure it was working correctly doesn't consider it a "minuscule" aspect But I understand your point, there are many times I find myself fascinated by how something is engineered or constructed and enjoy this type of video.
March 19, 201115 yr I once watched The Beast crew put a train away. You can most defiantly tell the technology differences.
March 19, 201115 yr I'm quite glad this was posted. I've ridden it ~60 times (not a lot by some standards but far more than most park guests), including quite a few during ERT, and hadn't seen this. I can't believe you were criticized for posting an almost-behind-the-scenes video about something at Kings Island on a forum called Kings Island Central. Next time, I guess post only if it involves what Don Helbig had for breakfast that day or something.
March 20, 201115 yr Next up: get a video of the trains reversing into the station! (it is possible, and it's sweet when it happens!!!)
March 21, 201115 yr Sweet video. Thanks for posting. Ever seen them take a FoF trian on or off? That transfer track is the slowest in the park.
March 26, 201115 yr I have seen it a few times in 2010, but for some reason, I find it very awesome to watch! Thanks for the video.
March 26, 201115 yr Thanks, this is the only ride that I hadn't seen getting a new train on the tracks.
