PKI Jizzman Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 IF they build a flume in that site I'd be all for it. A little theme about a touring company giving tree-top guides to get a peek at the Beast (Since you can see the tops of the lift hills) before a big plunge. Similar to the original flume before Tomb Raider, Kenton's Keelboat Canal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drummermattk Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Last i checked a couple days ago, the diamondback cam was took down, wonder why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Be careful using words such as "the" and "diamondback" in succession. I've seen it trigger people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacherkim Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Ok, I may have missed this because I haven't read the whole thread (last 4 or 5 pages though) Has anyone heard anything about Coasterstock yet? If it's the same weekend as last year it should fall on my son's birthday so I've been checking. Last year tickets went on sale Feb 1, so uhh kinda getting close. We bought CF platinum passes this year and were definitely planning on going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Last i checked a couple days ago, the diamondback cam was took down, wonder why Let me guess... It's another "System Update." - You know... The same update that kept us from being able to see Orion's lift getting constructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tndank Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Coasterstock is May 15 and 16. Can't help with on-sale date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacherkim Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thanks! That was what I was assuming but hadn't seen anything. I'll keep my eye on the website for the sale date. My son's bday is May 16 and this is his requested present, of course he knows he will get a day out of school if we go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Coasterstock is May 15 and 16. Can't help with on-sale date. Are you sure about this date? Don hasn't posted anything on the website that I could find. I know it happens around this time every year. I hope you're right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Looks like they’ve made it to the final stretch! Wonder if they will have track work complete by the end of the week?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Don said it's supposed to be done by the end of the week. I bet they'll make a big deal out of it on Friday. It's supposed to stay dry in Cincy all week so I'm sure they'll have it finished. We'll definitely know when it starts testing due to how many people are following it and there are great views from the Great Wolf parking lot behind Banshee/Bat.

Ape Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 If it’s not done today it will be done tomorrow early. Looks like one a couple pieces left. Anyone else on here doing the Orion First Rider Auction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tndank Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 My plan is to do media day and the first rider event. Probably stick around for passholder day, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Kings Island announced their early morning rides for the 2020 season and (in a not so surprising move) Orion will be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwee Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Diamondback camera back online this morning. Orion getting close!!! But if anybody’s hoping to watch the Vortex demo, you’re S.O.L. ... they turned the camera so Vortex isn’t in the shot anymore.

Ape Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 It’s like they hate website traffic. They had the camera off for the Orion top off and now they have had the camera down/turned away from vortex so people can’t watch that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Most people looking at the Kings Island webcams today: It's on now folks! One more section I think. ITS HAPPENING!

tndank Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Coasterstock on sale Feb 3rd. Dates are 5/15-16. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/blog/2020/january/tickets-for-coasterstock-2020-go-on-sale-monday-exclusively-online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I can’t do Media day, not in any clubs to be able to this year. Don said ACE is the only invite too? You've gotta believe KI will cap how many people can come because you know ACErs will make a great migration for it not to mention the locals.

coasternut Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 ^ According to the KI website, 9 different clubs are allowed to register starting Monday. This will be a great 2 day visit... I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
