So they're going to install the whole darn lift hill/drop and we're going to miss all of it.

Way to go, Kings Island.

Building timelapse is going to be

Station, Break run,

One image flash .10 second long and the lift and drop will be done,

Then the rest of it.

I wonder if they will move the webcam when they are building back by the turnaround and the rest of the ride. My gut says they wont.

I absolutely hate the Hitler parodies since I believe it is offensive to Jews and/or people who are related to anyone who were a part of the Holocaust, but I wonder if someone is going to make a Hitler parody on the KI webcams being down during a big part of construction.

That is a fantastic idea.

Just so everyone knows I am not requesting anyone to make that because as I said before I find the Hitler videos offensive to people who are related to anyone who were a part of what Hitler did. 

Chad posted progress on the Eiffel Tower. Looks like they only have 6 strands of lights up so far, hopefully they don't need it complete before the cams come back on.

So just noticed this Fast Lane sign has a Taki's add on it. Has that always been there? Or was this Cedar Fair preparing for Six Flags?

 

That is some effective marketing campaign they have going. I had to google what Takis were.

Imagine being able to walk in an empty Kings Island to take a pic and post it to twitter.

Won't need to move it if they keep it turned off.

The coasters have a camera on the top of the lift hill, it's a final check to ensure guest safety.  The resolution is not great, and if I recall they are black and white as well on Vortex.

They updated them pretty big from what I remember seeing. They are all infared now as well.

What does the infared do?

@JonahWilliamsonSlightly better night vision. Starlights are the best though.

 

I’m not sure how Wildgravitytravels got this pic but it looks like we have drop backbone and second lift hill support and track in place.

We have a good camera.

Where do you see the second lift hill support and track? Maybe Im blind.

Here.

To further clarify, the first lift support (in sequence) is below the treeline.

And earlier i thought i saw another lift support up but it was just the back bone and drop that i was seeing if thats what you were getting at

Does anyone else notice the head chopper track installed under the drop or is that just the next piece they are lifting

@Nova That's just the next piece that is being lifted. 

Also, welcome to KIC. 

Not my picture, not my Istagram account.

If the webcam isn't up tomorrow, I don't know when it will lol. By tomorrow it would have been down for 5 days. It is fun doing this the old way though.

That drop is so steep.

Actually, I believe that what you are seeing is the break run in the foreground.

Oh, I was looking at something on the larger image. My bad.

Happy 100 pages!!

To celebrate 100 pages, they should bring back the cameras
