if anything. the trim might me just used for a sensor just like the one on Banshee was . They never turned the trim on Banshee on so maybe its just there for the computer. -

Not a big construction update but looks like the formation for the space buggies is up and is not filled with concrete! -

basically all the season pass thing is discounts for things in the Cincinnatti Area and an early reservation for Hotel Breakers -

^ good point. The waterpark is indeed in for some new stuff. Maybe more on the thrill side like "looping" waterslides? they havent seen anything new since the the conversion in 2004 or so. KI has some green grass that people do not use over by the newly built wave pool. Maybe they could bring back the three big slides that where once there when it was waterworks or something close to it. Only time and Cedar Fair will tell -

All in all, we'll just have to wait till Opening Day of 2015 to see if any construction has started. Or at least some signs of construction. remember how banshee started out? -

^ i tried joining it. my season pass has been renewed and i entered the right numbers it asked for but it wouldnt let me join. In other words, i think cedar fair should invest in a little something like Maverick for KI. The only problem is where to put it. I would say either between the racer and flight of fear and then use the area where Son Of Beast's "Rose Bowl" was or they could take out the Vortex and put something there. By all means i love the Vortex for what its worth, but over the past 5 years or so, its just got rougher and rougher every year. I say 2016 is a good year for KI and maybe possibly a new coaster. (KI almost always gets a new coaster a year after Cedar Point does ) -
