Shaping up to look like the train and White waters new queue line will give the best off ride footage!

"It's Beautiful Clark" Seriously cannot wait for opening day! But for some lucky people, cant wait for probably Late March/early April to ride!

*UPDATED* For sure: Kings Island Cedar Point Coney Island (First time!) Stricker's Grove Another First) Holiday World (Holinights) Kentucky Kingdom Carowinds Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Dorney and Hersheypark as part of a CoasterCrazy Northeast trip (Check that website out its a fun little site!)

Last year it was the 16th because i couldn't work because of my High school prom.

Opening day is on the 15th which means the pass preview night should be on the 14th.

Mystic timbers..................

Track for station up to the shed is placed!

Hoping this isnt true (never been to a media day event if i was able to go) but rumor going around on KIC is that coaster groups (TPR, ACE, you get the point.....) wont be able to come to Timbers media day............... I really hope this isnt true.

Yeah Jesse i know you lol I'm Matt from Flume, their CT. [ There is a way to undo the restraint (at least from Banshee) using your hands, i forget if its in the front or the back of the seat (i wanna say back) but i never got to use it, or the manual release at Dback, and DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE NAILS TO RELEASE BARS AT BEAST.

Maybe I have the wrong definition of a capacity monster. I thought it was s ride that's really good with capacity. Like banshee's 30 second trains.

Little off topic. But does anyone think ki could use a capacity monster ride. Something like maybe maverick or a wild mouse?

^ THATS A BIG FOOTER LOL but Construction is flying by pretty fast! Both pictures are from the back near the engine house (creds to KI's twitter and instagram) and also the little thing about Beast was something found on Ebay for about 10 bucks! now thats a deal.

As 2017 will be the year i go to coaster club events (first time for everything lol) does anyone know what the prices are for Winter chillout and Coastermania?

I honestly hope that Mystic Timbers doesn't become MySTACK Timbers..............

Going into my third year at kings island ive came across some fun rides to work and some bad rides (is that possible lol) My home ride has always been the log flume since ive spent two years there but i think the favorite has to be banshee/diamondback just because its more fast paced and the crews are welcoming. HOPEFULLY, i can be on that new shed ride the park's installing.

Work is beginning on the back half! Also as the reapplying has started for KI next year, I am hoping to be placed on either Timbers, Banshee or Dback! Im still sticking with the rumor i heard about no bins at Dback, and i hope it happens! photo creds to the park's instagram

the off season blues........

Possibly see new trains? or just the same old trains repainted.

Mystic Timbers lookin good! first airtime hill/turn/ drop into white water's reservoir is complete! Photo cred to the park's instagram

Video (screenshots from the video) creds to the parks instagram. Lift is done! and curious as to why the drop, and prelift have what looks to be anti rollbacks. Turn over lift is taking shape Plummeting down towards white water reservoir Looking out towards white water honsetly have no idea where this is lol

Magnum /Vortex

^All i have to say s, the new GM worked at the park during Paramount days in the Finance department..............................we may not be in for some good rides to come in the next couple of years folks

Looks like station work is about to begin! I have a feeling you'll get nice up close and personal with the train as the loading platform is on the left side of the train tracks, facing Diamondback. (Judging by the animated shed that was shown). - Also for what's in the shed. It will be fun. (Isn't everything at ki) Photo cred to the parks Twitter (@KingsIslandpr)

Kentucky kingdom will be expanding onto king Louie's playground! More details to come. And a new thrill ride? I think yes! If I remember correctly. It did look like theybwhere fixing up the old dragster ride.
