pillsberry123 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) I've made this thread to put pictures from all of my Kings Island visits this year. Table of Contents Opening Day (4/30) Spring at Kings Island (5/7) Opening Day Diamondback - x1 The Beast - x1 Hello 2011! Diamondback still seems to be the star of the show! New for 2011 - Windseeker Windseeker's construction was delayed due to storms, so it wasn't open today. Passholders were given ERT on Diamondback! Diamondback ran very well today. Smooth as ever, fast, and full of airtime! The park was crowded today. This part of the park is usually dead by 9:20 in the morning. My favorite attraction at the park: World's Most Overpriced Soda Machines! The Beast's queue area has been improved. New music was added, and some things were touched up. Parts of the track were also redone. Unfortunately, the ride broke down while we were sitting on the brake run. I left before the day started to pick up, but I've heard from a lot of people that quite a few rides broke down today. Pretty good picture I took while waiting in line. Rivertown - 2011 Splashdown Vortex was also closed this morning. Those who aren't local to Kings Island will find this strange, but we are getting a new Dinosaur attraction this year! Incomplete Windseeker - While I was taking this picture, a woman was asking an employee nearby if this ride would be open sometime today... The Coney Mall section of the park has received new brick paving for 2011. Looks fantastic! New for 2011 - BRICKS!!!!!!!! Pretty short TR, but there will be more to come. Stay tuned for more throughout the season. Edited May 7, 2011 by pillsberry123

pillsberry123 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 Alright, no problem I'll get onto fixing that. Edit - Fixed
pillsberry123 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Posted May 7, 2011 5/7/11 - Kings Island in the Spring Kings Island was going well today. There were a lot of groups, so the park started to get congested soon after opening, but it was still a pretty good day. We only stayed for a couple of hours, but we squeezed in 5 rides. Diamondback - x2 The Beast - x1 Racer - x1 Flight Deck - x1 Windseeker's opening has been delayed again, so we were left with ERT on Diamondback and the Beast. Both the Beast and Diamondback were running well today. As you could have probably guessed from my avatar, the Beast is my favorite wooden roller coaster. If you've ridden the ride and wasn't so impressed by it, riding it at night gives it full justice. I highly recommend it. The ride isn't visible from within the park, so getting pictures isn't an easy task. After the park opened, we went for the Racer. After leaving the park, I realized that we didn't get any good pictures of the track, so this is going to have to do until next time. Coney Mall sign Oktoberfest - 2011 Action Zone - 2011 For 2011, Flight Deck received a new paint job. Flight Deck was runny VERY well today! I was impressed. Ignore that wooden ride in the back. That's not supposed to be there International Street - 2011
buckaroo234 Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT GIANT WOODEN MONSTROSITY, Awesome TR's so far though!
