On Saturday, April 15th, my brother and I visited Kings Island for its opening day! While there, I did manage to take some photos of the construction happening in the new Adventure Port section that will be opening this Summer. It looks like there is quite a ways to go before Cargo Loco and Sol Spin are operational! More photos of my recent visit to Kings Island can be found on my blog in the link of my signature.

I love the trains and the aggressive fast paced layout and the trains. If they can 208 retrack and leave the layout and trains then it should be okay. Just dont tame the beast

The track photos yesterday are from a reliable source in the industry. And it seems to match their 208 Retrak product. This should mean it's going to keep its layout. This could end up being really good. Love the layout.

I think I'm in the minority who thought the ride was... "Ok". It gave me a terrible headache and the timberliners vibrate to all hell, but I've been on much worse wooden coasters. I'm all for this move curious what they do with it.

I think this is a great, valid, and topical question. I have many of the same feelings as posters above but will add something else that we've done in the past and will continue to do. OFFSET! You know when you buy airfare and they tell you that if you pay a little more you can offset your carbon emissions for the flight? I do that for some of the places we visit! In the past I have donated to Women's and Gay Rights organizations when visiting the Middle East. The LDF, ACLU, and NAACP when in certain US States. And now will probably add Abortion Rights and LGBTQ+ orgs in our US Visits as well. Like others have said, I will not let stupid laws and rules that most of the public doesn't even support stop me from doing something I love and making me happy, but I absolutely can choose to spend the bare minimum in certain places or with certain brands. Everyone who does our trips know that I will go out of my way to avoid Chick Fil A and try to stop the bus at food stops where that's not even an option but I'm not going to ban someone from eating there, I'll just try to educate them on either better options or the offset theory that I use! We have been very vocal since before it was a thing that we don't support JK Rowling but Kristen loves Harry Potter and I'm not going to deny her something she loves because of that horrible bitch! I'll just continue to be vocal about it so people can at least know that she's terrible! Hope this helps and makes sense!
