Sweet pics! Looks great!

Here's a nice vintage video posted on Old Photos of Cincinnati on Facebook. It is a great video! Posted by Joey Fessler. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Old.Cincinnati/permalink/1433865963322515/

We have lights on the lift hill for Mystic Timbers! Picture via Diamondback webcam. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams-7315_34349

I've never heard they installed it yet. I could be wrong.

Looks like they are putting the chain on the lift hill right now. Here's a pic!

Wow 20 people long I can't imagine the wait time for that!

Oh boy I wonder if he just does this intentionally!

Glad to hear they still plan to expand Valleyfair! That comment about "a little further out" seems like it could be another 3 to 5 years, to start the expansion since CGA is next after Carowinds.

Foundation and footers have been poured for the new Island Smokehouse restaurant in Soak City! Picture from Chef Nathan @KICHEFNATE Twitter.

Here's a nice little article about Mystic Timbers, from the Journal-News http://www.journal-news.com/news/kings-island-mystic-timbers-gets-national-attention-before-first-ride/HxxRf7fPzWtHIdJQUNDzqL/

Kings Island just posted on their blog what the new Island Smokehouse will look like, looks great! Menu items and other details are on the page. Link: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/blog-article/online-fun/Construction-begins-on-Island-Smokehouse/?mobile=0

Yeah seeing as the steel for the track just arrived for Mystic Timbers, it will take a little while to mount it to the track. Here's the link showing the steel strips from KI Twitter. And here's a picture of the new smokehouse restaurant being built in Soak City. From Twitter @KICHEFNATE

I'm about half thinking the Eiffel Tower will be open, Greg did say it will be the greatest WinterFest ever. Greatest means more rides open? I think so! I bet there's a good chance Mystic Timbers and Diamondback will be open too, I hope!

Can't wait to try the new smokehouse restaurant out! I've heard good things about the one at Carowinds!

No worries.

Hey Robb, for my post I do apologize for it, I admit it was a stupid thing to post, very sorry. Won't happen again.

Well I don't own this site and don't work for Kings Island so I can't tell you if that's OK or not. Simple solution though: just send a message to Robb or a mod before you post to make sure its OK. Problem solved. I was just asking so nobody would get in trouble in other threads. But yes I agree that's what should be done. *We now return to your regular Cedar Point broadcasting**

^^Well someone who went to their employee get together at ki, posted pics of it in the ki thread. I would think that wouldn't be allowed since the park didn't post them.

I was wondering that too! And is this for all the new coasters being constructed, like say Mystic Timbers?

They are getting close to standing the last bends for Mystic Timbers!

Don just posted on his Twitter, that lumber for the shed has arrived! Work on Mystic Timbers is chugging along!

The 2017 operating calendar has just been posted! Now we can start planning! https://www.visitkingsisland.com/hours-directions/kings-island-park-hours

Don has said its something nobody has guessed yet, and it will be something new for a wooden coaster. So lets keep guessing!

That's great! I'm sure it will be a lot of fun!

New pictures have been posted on Kings Island's Mystic Timbers construction page, looks great! http://mystictimbers.visitkingsisland.com/nature-rises/construction-photos
