Dinosoars Alive!!! Open May 26th 2011




Well. We all got the dissapointing news about the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.

Its Not Son Of Beast. In fact I was reading an online forum that acctually pointed out that Son of Beast has had structural problems from the beginning when it opened in 2000. The issue is when the coaster goes over parts of the track it shakes other parts loosening beams which is why they had the beams snap so we may never see the coaster roaring again. But we will still keep tabs on it

But anyway though we may not see Son of Beast in 2011 at least well see some prehistoric monsters right?!? How unique for kings island to do this. Below is a post directly from Dinosoars Alive at Kings Island.


DINOSOARS ALIVE

Visitors to Kings Island will have an opportunity to step back in time to periods between 245 million to 65 million years ago when the world's largest animatronic dinosaur park debuts May 26, 2011. More than 60 life-sized dinosaurs will be on display in Dinosaurs Alive! at Kings Island, including 56 animatronic models, in a spectacular outdoor Jurassic forest setting.




The multi-sensory and interactive dinosaur park brings inspiration, science and technology together at Kings Island where guests will also hear the sounds and see the movements of 60-plus full-sized animatronic creations made to replicate nearly every feature of the dinosaurs. Each of the animatronic dinosaurs is hand-carved and covered with skin-like materials.



The highlight of Dinosaurs Alive! is the world's largest animatronic dinosaur, the Ruyang Yellow River dinosaur, which measures an incredible 72 feet long, 12 feet wide and 30 feet high! Other animatronic dinosaurs include the vicious looking Irratator and its cousins, the Baryonyx and the Spinosaurus, the lizard-like Stegosaurus, the meat-eating Tyrannosaurs Rex, three-horned Triceratops and the flying Pteranodon.

Dinosaurs Alive! at Kings Island will be open daily beginning May 26 from 10:00 a.m. until dusk. The dinosaur park is not included with general park admission or a 2011 season pass. A separate admission ticket of just $5.00 is required for this major attraction.




Guests visiting Kings Island can purchase Dinosaurs Alive! admission tickets at the park or in advance online through the park's website at www.visitkingsisland.com.



Kings Island is owned and operated by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, a publicly traded partnership that is listed for trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "FUN." In addition to Kings Island, Cedar Fair owns and operates ten other amusement parks, six water parks, one indoor water park resort and five hotels. Cedar Fair also operates the Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park in Gilroy, Calif. under a management contract.

Something Big Coming to Kings Island?!?

Something Big?!?!? What?!?

Want to know my prediction?!?

If you watch the video on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEMScalifkU&feature=player_embedded

On this video if you listen to the bleeped out portions of the video about the BIG ANNOUNCMENT it sounds like they are describing the beloved Son of Beast rollercoaster.

Thats our prediction that it will be the reopening and possibly renaming of Son of Beast. You heard the prediction here first. Tune back in on the 18th to see the big announcement or check out visitkingsisland.com for more info

As soon as we know the big announcement we will post it up!! Also look for more frequent updates after April 30th when we walk into the park with amazing images and snapshots of Windseeker and the Big Announcment attraction in full HD 720p. All these images are going to be exclusive and no one else will have them, Just Kings Island News delivering you info no one else can. Why you ask? Cause were in the park reporting, others listen to press conferences.



Stay Tune!!!

Daily Posts for now

My Girlfriend was diagnosed last year with a brain tumor and recently had to have another surgery due to regrowth. They got it all this time but she will be going through radiation treatments soon for six weeks. Due to this posts may not happen as frequently as I would like I REALLY APPOLOGIZE for the inconvenience this may cause :-( Also im very sorry for the lack of updates lately we were trying to see what was going to happen with this situation. But the bright side is that its not Cancer again and they got it all this time and just have to radiate it to keep it from coming back. Thanks for your understanding and I will post with updates throughout the opporating season

Windseeker Update

WindSeeker Construction Update: 3/02/2011

Tower pieces arrive at Kings Island

Seven pieces of the tower for the new 301' tall WindSeeker ride have arrived at the park from Holland. The eighth and final piece is expected to arrive by the end of the week.
Vertical construction of Kings Island's newest thrill ride is expected to begin by the middle of the month.

(The above statement is property of www.visitkingsisland.com)

Were all getting very excited about Kings Island Opening Day as it nears closer. I only live 1 hour away or less so be expecting bunches of updates!!! Although you may see a delay as my girlfriend who I just got engaged too had brain surgery the other day so it may be a bit before you see in park detail changes but I will do research and post you with the latest changes to expect to the best of my ability!! Thanks
