DBru Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Oh yeah, and they're also charging big park prices now on admission. So why not some big park rides? Yes, they indeed are charging 'big park prices', but you seem to forget that their 'big park price' includes FREE parking, soft drinks, inner tubes, and sunscreen. I do agree with your other points though, and I too am praying that all goes well with Pilgrims Plunge, and Holiday World continues to go with Intamin. Thing is, the park has already started planning their additions up through 2011, so the Intamin relationship may mean nothing as far as the near future goes.

CPmaverick Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I was on the webcam this morning and I caught this picture. Maybe it really is Laser Snake Horse on Fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reon Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 That was fast. I saw on the last blog that they were supposed to take a holiday break until the 5th, and that was back when the hammerhead was half done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrocoasterkid Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 The break until the 5th, was referring the the blog (Don), and I would imagine rest of the office workers. Not the construction workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I was thinking that too, but I checked the webcam everyday and hadn't seen anything, so I thought it was for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMattMatt Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 That hammerhead is a thing of beauty. It's weird how you can look at all of the renderings you want but there's always something different about seeing it once it's really built.

PKIDelirium Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'll be having large photo updates from construction tours on Jan 31st and Feb 7th. They've been making major progress. It's possible that track assembly will be done by then, at this pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I was thinking about going on the walkback, but the tour really filled up fast. Before I checked back it was full. Eh, oh well. James and I might be doing a fly over sometime. -JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 You talking about the ACE Soar event JZ? I am planning on going on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm not sure. I know it's a Diamondback walkback, and it's a big Kings Island Central thing....but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 KIC is having their thing on Jan 31, and then there's ACE Winter SOAR on Feb 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 ^Really looking forward to all the great pictures we'll see from the tours. Here's hoping that most if not all the track is done by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 You talking about the ACE Soar event JZ? I am planning on going on that. If you're an ACE'r, I'd gladly be your guest! -JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slither37 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I am going to the SOAR event as well. I am not an ACE member, but I know you can be a guest. 12.00 for guest/10.00 for ACE member. I of course will be wearing a black TPR Tshirt, so when you see me, say hello. I do believe I will have to join ACE in order to go to media day.

Reon Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 ^Actually media day accepts all card carrying coaster clubs, including the much cheaper GOCC (Great Ohio Coaster Club) Apparently its $20 a year for a few events each year (website doesnt say what for this year, but I bet theres gonna be something for Diamondback), reduced admission for HW, and access to any coaster club function.

matteocrepaldi Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I was just looking at the webcam and today looks like a good day to finish that camelback after the turn and start the first helix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jive Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hot damn! I love how it lays right on top of the walkways. I wonder if it will be sound dampened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrocoasterkid Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 There is no sound dampening as far as has been stated.... Also, there is a new blog up. Check it out! Says trains should start arriving soon, maybe just in time for the upcoming events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdon Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 If you look on the webcam, it looks like the course is complete through the break run. That means we have the final helix and one piece from the splashdown left. This really looks like a fun ride and a great addition to KI. I can't wait to see some new pictures of the completed track.

coolhandluke Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I've really enjoyed watching this take shape. It will probably be one of the few new rides I'll get to try out this year, which makes it all that much more intriguing to me. Hell, this ride inspired me to get my first-ever pass. Really looking forward to it. You can see the edge of the now-completed brake run off to the side. Woo-hoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Hammond Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 ^Actually media day accepts all card carrying coaster clubs Are you sure? To go to the media day at Cedar Point, you had to be invited by the park. including the much cheaper GOCC (Great Ohio Coaster Club) Apparently its $20 a year for a few events each year (website doesnt say what for this year, but I bet theres gonna be something for Diamondback), reduced admission for HW, and access to any coaster club function. Spring Fling will be at Knoebels on April 25th (opening day). They will be having an event at Kings Island on August 22nd. A GOCC membership should get you into most if not all Park Sponsored events too. I know it's accepted for Holiwood Nights and Coaster Mania.
