Now I have the log flume song in my head

Just returned From my Trip LR was closed but still had a good Time!!!

Who has Lightning Rod sent to the hospital?? no I'm just saying people on the Thread already talking about tearing it down.

Guess its a no go for this weekend....... still going though. people already calling for the SOB treatment

We hate you. Brown Streak is not going to happen. Just let it go.

This will be my first time going to DW. Luckily I'm not that far I can plan another trip.

So..... Should I just go with the mindset of LR not running this weekend?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Power has been restored to Kentucky Kingdom following a midday car crash on Crittenden Drive. The outage included the Kentucky Expo Center. The crash happened just after noon shutting down much of Kentucky Kingdom on Friday. The park plans to reopen on Saturday at 11 a.m. The power outage shut down rides and caused most of the park's restaurants and food stands to close. Kentucky Kingdom was hosting about 3,000 students, some of whom the park says traveled long distances. But the park provided free food to students and their chaperones from the stands and restaurants that were able to stay open. The park is also providing complimentary tickets for the students to return to the park during the 2017 season. The tickets are good for any day the park is open to the public.

well that escalated quickly

yea I can see that being a possibility.

The park map online still hasn't been updated lets just hope its a delay on everything

I don't care where it's going. There's an RMC Raptor coming out soon and that's the greatest news ever.. Ikr!!

What y'all think? Could it be? From RMC FB page

Did I miss what's in the Shed?

The "surprise element" means nothing. People are going to want to ride it regardless of whether or not they're surprised when the announcement is made. Valravn was leaked about a year ahead of time by the Sandusky Register and it didn't make a bit of difference. Plus, you're operating under the assumption that everyone is following the leaks and studying the coaster layout as closely as hardcore enthusiasts are. They're not. PS: The "Well, no sh*t!" moment from hardcore fans and pass holders means nothing because... a) They were the ones looking all over the internet for leaked photos. That's not the park's problem. They didn't want an "oh sh*t" moment, they want to speculate endlessly about every detail of the ride and get every inside source they can. That's fine, but don't spend a year doing that and then blame the park when the announcement doesn't surprise you. b) Hardcore fans and pass holders are... well... hardcore fans and pass holders. They're going to buy passes no matter what. The park doesn't have to work to get them excited about the coaster. Even if all they were getting was a petting zoo expansion they would still renew their passes. I'm talking less about the people that endlessly speculate and more about the people that will go to park several times this season and see a gigantic new coaster being built right before their eyes. Those who purposely ignore the leaks and images will still have it spoiled for them when they visit the park in May. If you're following the leaks closely, you have no right to complain about the surprise element of this announcement. I personally think of the announcement as "spoiling" the ride. It tells you what the ride will be. You talk about it in the sense that the announcement is something magnificent and is the main experience in itself. I feel like you should be excited to ride the ride and not excited to hear the announcement. The announcement is to create hype and there is already hype, so an announcement at this time is unnecessary. I honestly like how they are "announcing" this piece by piece, because it will keep us more interested for a longer period of time. It is like Christmas. No matter what you will open the presents on Christmas. With an announcement all the presents are put under the tree. You can see all of them, but you can't open them until Christmas. What they are doing now is putting one present out at a time. All the presents will get under the tree, but won't be there until later. The fun in this is that you won't know how many awesome elements this ride will have until the ride is completed.

Pictures are From KK FB. It's very visible from the Expressway.

they fixed it its only 1 train. do you know if the Larson loop that came to the KSF was the 73 feet(22 m) version or the 59 ft. (18 m) version?

Thank you for bringing happiness to this otherwise terrifying night.

I was guessing a Funtime Starflyer but your predictions seems more likely Why would they have a Starflyer when they already have a 100+ swing ride? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Lightning Rod 2.0!

Brown Streak

OMG! That's what's in the shed! They finally made a coaster for enthusiasts, you guys--hear me out, this is legit--at the end of Mystic Timbers, you go into the shed to see an RMC truck! Jizz yourself with excitement! It's happening. It's real. It's confirmed. You heard it here first.
