KI Kidd

Just to be clear I wasn't implying that it was for KI, I was simply answering his question. I agree that this is most likely headed overseas.

There is unpainted wing rider track as well. Different job number than the China project. I'll post a link to the pics from KIC when I'm not on my phone. Link to photos on KIC.

^That is great to hear!

It really depends on how many school groups are there. I wouldn't think that anything other than Invertigo and Firehawk would be over 20 minutes. It should be a good day to get a lot of rides in. Just hit Firehawk as early as possible.

As of Saturday, yes.

That was indeed for the new dinos.

I would think this would be settled outside of court fairly soon.

Didn't GG test out their Timberliner prototype on Raven?

Construction wall enthusiasts might want to check out Action Zone tomorrow.

MiA tickets plus parking for one day = $39 CP (w/resort discount on tickets) for 2 days is = $68 (you'll get reimbursed for your parking when you check in). $107<$180 So it would be cheaper just to get the tickets unless you know for sure that you will visit another CF park this year.

Per an article in the Courier-Journal Ed Hart has requested a 60 day extension of the walk-away period as they attempt to shore up financing. I would be very surprised at this point if they go ahead with this project.

Looks like FUN Perks will not be returning for 2013. "Dear Valued Customer, We hope you are looking forward to all of the fun and excitement that is in store for the 2013 season at Kings Island. Opening day is just one week away - Saturday, April 27! As we prepare for the 2013 season, we are always looking for ways to improve the experience for our guests and provide more value, especially for our most loyal guests - our season passholders. One such way was the FUN Perks program introduced last year. We were pleased with the participation, but after a lengthy and thorough evaluation of the program, we are working on other ways to provide more value for our season passholders in the upcoming season. As a thank you for your participation and support, please click here for an exclusive coupon that allows you to bring a friend to Kings Island during any public operating day thru May 27 for just $9.99 or from May 28 through September 2 for just $19.99. You must present your 2013 season pass along with the coupon to receive this exclusive offer. We look forward to seeing you at the park this summer! Sincerely, Greg Scheid Vice President & General Manager Kings Island"

If you get there at opening and Firehawk is behaving then you can almost certainly get away with just regular Fast Lane (or possibly neither). The other factor will be the number of school groups there that day. Either way I hope you enjoy the park, it has gotten a lot of love the past couple of seasons.

Wasn't there a rumor about the test dummies flying out/being horribly mangled during testing on one of the Windseekers?

^Guess that means we can expect a sneak peak at the Intamin cable next, right?

That depends more on how much money they are making from six flags than it does on how good the coaster is.

Wooden: Raven's 5th drop. Steel: The final airtime hill on Maverick.

If SkyRush had I305's restraints I have a feeling it would have been my #1. Haven't ridden Maverick yet. I think that is the first time I have seen someone lobby for OSTR's.

It has been grouped in with the "Favorite Loopscrew."

Don will be taking questions about Kings Island on twitter tonight from 7:00pm - 7:30pm EST (@KingsIslandPR).

Where did you get the results? I'm not seeing them on Mitch's site.

What is the source for this exhibit? It was part of the 'FUNForward' presentation that was given to investors in January of this year. It is on page 19 of the pdf that can be viewed here www.cedarfair.com/ir/press_releases/index.cfm

Kings Island has a number of water dummies that say the same, I wouldn't read too much into it.

If the new addition isn't coming until 2014 (which is probable) they could always let the boomerang run next summer and remove it at this time next year to make way for a new coaster.
