Kings Island is a fine example of what a corporate park can be. They do so many little things such as upkeeping iconic attractions like Beast, Racer, and Carrousel, while adding or restoring minor tou

Alright, so yesterday was pretty dang awesome.  The park was a bit slow to wake up with a bunch of coasters being closed until 10:30/11am or so, but once things were in the groove it was smooth sailin

Considering I was in town then - it rained almost all day booth days. Coney Island didn't even bother opening on the 4th. Stricker's Grove did open anyway on the 4th though

I will not post the picture but according to @27yankfan on instagram, a semi with LOTS OF WOOD was spotted in the parks parking lot. And from the looks of it, it looks like the wood is for track

 

Also more of the giant I-Beams have been placed vertically along the train tracks.

It's been speculated that the wood + beams are for a retaining wall. They're not for coaster track.

The wood shown in that photo is not of a high enough grade to be used for a wooden coaster.

It's obviously the wrong color too.

Neither was the wood for Son Of Beast. But you didn't see that stopping them from building that hunk of trash.

I will be returning to the Island on Thursday. Expect uneducated 2017 guesses, a lot of whining, complaints about parking fees, a little bit of local beer, Skyline chili, and trash can reviews. Maybe a pointing shout out for the other Zach

^^ I approve of all of that!

 

Make sure to get uncomfortably close to random people while taking tourist pictures. Don't be afraid to challenge yourself. Beer helps.

Uhm. Okay then I'll just leave this here.

Does this mean the announcement is happening? To me it looks similar to the saying "the cat is out of the bag."

Went to the park yesterday, July 16th 2016 and got some shots for ya'll.

 

It was a pretty busy day yesterday, so we spent some time swimming, so we didn't get many rides, but some of the lines were okay. I knew the risks of coming on a Saturday in July.

It seems like the land clearing is on a larger scale than the layout is that was leaked.

 

Thanks for the photos update! Only project I'm really paying attention too!
