All of people who are younger and don't know the history dislike the color but I don't mind it as long as the ride is smoother

[DarienLaker]

The trains on T2 back then, were HOT PINK, lol.

 

I wonder if T3's trains are going to be Hot pink?

[aaron88stang]

I've heard from a employee T3 is scheduled to open on May 7th, I may be wrong tho.

 

That's really not that bad. I remember last year there were still some things being buttoned up the first few weeks and they even did't open until Memorial Day. I will probably wait until T3 is up and running before I make a visit.

The website has been updated with a new look and the new rides all say opening Mid May besides "SkyCatcher" and "Up Up And Away" and "The Enterprise". http://www.kentuckykingdom.com

[Midgetman82]

Fine by me, I'm equally as excited to get to ride Enterprise again! Might make the trek once for opening weekend, then hold out until May for any of the extras to finally open.

I'm thinking about going Saturday, if I'm not to tired from Holiday World the night before,or Sunday if I'm too tired Saturday.

[grsupercity]

I am sorry if this has been said, but do we know the manufacture of T3's new trains yet?

I actually really like the red on T3! It looks much better here than in Belantis..

Probably because there are other colors and more foliage nearby to balance it out.

[AdventureJack]

Here's another one. Yeah, I love the red!

[Midgetman82]

^That's the same as one of the previous photos, but vertically flattened.

Edit: Oh, it's their Facebook banner.

[AdventureJack]

Oh, I didn't even notice!

[undercoverunicorn13]

[ratdogg68]

^ Was going to go, but it was Cold and Rainy all day. Going to go check it out later today.

[Superbatboy]

Oh my, that is..... red

[thrillrider]

They are going to have to get new trains for twisted twins next year. Here is a shot of the trains sitting under batman the ride at six flags mid America a few years ago.

[Vonni]

^ I thought those were from SFNO Mega Zeph?

As long as they aren't getting Gerstlauer to replace the trains, I'm happy. Those take quite a toll on your knees.

http://m.wlky.com/news/hundreds-enjoy-kentucky-kingdoms-preview-weekend/32581048 When the article updates there will be a video talking about the park and a view from "Up Up And Away"

[ratdogg68]

Just got back from the park. it was a very busy day. Didn't ride anything, as the lines were long, so I just walked around and took a few pics on my phone. The new rides that are open now are: The Enterprise, Up, Up and Away plus the Wizard of Oz is now playing in the 5D theater ride. Sky Catcher opens next weekend, with the remainder of the new rides opening May 23rd. I took a few pics that I'll post here. Glad to have the park back open, sometimes it's nice to just go for a couple of hours and walk around.

They have the main frame down for Cyclos.

Up, Up and Away is located in The Rainbows old spot.

The Enterprise has returned.

A 12 minute version of The Wizard of Oz, is playing in the 5D Theater.

Sky Catcher, will set between the Picnic Pavilion's and Hurricane Bay

[Nrthwnd]

"The Wizard of Oz" in 12 minutes?

 

I hope for some kids, this isn't their first viewing of the film.

[I305forever]

^I feel like The Wizard of Oz: The abbreviated version will be hilarious. I don't understand how it is possible to have a quality film be a 12 minute version of The Wizard of Oz without it making a lick of sense.
