  • It was a warm and breezy day, perfect weather for opening day at Kings Island. New for 2017 is Mystic Timbers, a fast, fun wooden roller coaster tucked away in the woods in Rivertown. I was there for about 8 hours -- here the highlights. Filmed Saturday, April 15, 2017.

    Excellent video! KI really needs to put some money into the Racer!
    Such an historic coaster deserves a full renovation!!

    Thanks for another of your great videos! Your fantastic Mystic Timbers coverage alone warrants praise and altogether, showing off the different facets of the park, makes for a video of extremely fine quality.

    I was one of the first people there on opening day. They let gold pass people get in line for Mystic Timbers at 9:20 and I only had to wait 15 minutes to ride. It was also raining pretty hard, but at least I got to ride front row. The shed was slightly disappointing, but it was pretty cool to see the effort of theming.

    • @CoasterBob62
      @CoasterBob62  7 лет назад +2

      I was too tired to walk the park again to shoot the flats that night, so I decided that a view from the Eiffel Tower would be much easier. And I was right. Thanks for watching!

    Another great opening day video for KI. I will be returning this June to KI for my second ever visit. I live in Pennsylvania to KI is only like an 8 hour drive. How long was Mystic Timber's line just out of a curiosity?

    • @CoasterBob62
      @CoasterBob62  7 лет назад

      Opening day, Mystic Timbers' line was about 3 hours at one point according to a KI employee. I can't wait to get back to Kennywood and maybe visit some other PA parks in the near future. Have fun!

    I was there Friday night and I had to wait in a 4 1/2 hour line for Mystic Timbers because the line was like 4 hours, but when I was in the station, it broke down.

    @bigblueamusementproductions 7 лет назад +2

    Hey Bob, do you think it would be awesome for a giga coaster to come to Kings Island in the future?

    • @CoasterBob62
      @CoasterBob62  7 лет назад +1

      Of course I would! I was hoping that this was the year, but I guess we'll have to wait.

    • @bigblueamusementproductions
      @bigblueamusementproductions 7 лет назад +1

      CoasterBob62 like any year from 2019-2022. I heard somewhere that KI is looking into one from either 2019-2022. Also, if you look behind Banshee, there is some land clearing back there, but I also would like a mix of a giga in the open and parts in the woods.

    • @CoasterBob62
      @CoasterBob62  7 лет назад +2

      I use the MAGIX Movie Edit Pro series. Many people hate it because it crashes and freezes a lot. I love it.

      Thank you, sir! Mystic Timbers isn't good -- it's great! :D Lots of airtime hills, and it feels faster than it looks.

      Ol' blue got stuck minutes after I arrived at the station to film, so I had to l abandon Racer and move on. I was lucky to get both coasters racing together that day.

    Did you have any trouble with security opening day?
    They wouldn't let me into the park with a camcorder. Had to go through hoops with security for almost an hour. Finally got permission after being told not to attempt to interview anyone. As if I would bother.

    • @CoasterBob62
      @CoasterBob62  7 лет назад +1

      Sorry to hear that you had problems. I had no issues that day getting through with 2 cameras and some accessories.

    • @OhioValleyPAVideo
      @OhioValleyPAVideo 7 лет назад +1

      I had a hell of a time. Apparently, someone with a camcorder tried to interview someone else, and that person complained to security, and the head of security just arbitrarily said "NO MORE CAMERAS ALLOWED IN THE PARK". Never checked with Kings Island or Cedar Fair management whatsoever. They had absolutely no clue what was happening.
      Anyway, I'm not sure we've ever met. But I think you know Peggy (pegravnkeeper) and her clan from Cedar Point.

    • @CoasterBob62
      @CoasterBob62  7 лет назад +1

      Nothing really surprises me on opening day, but that's a new one. I can see why they don't want folks interviewing other guests -- that's what media day is for. But to ban everyone is a bit much.
      If you're a member of Peggy's clan, I'm sure we've crossed paths. I think I see her every time I visit!

    • @OhioValleyPAVideo
      @OhioValleyPAVideo 7 лет назад +1

      I'm not really a member of Peggy's clan. I just met her in passing, but I am in her facebook group. I'm not even sure she would know me to see me. I don't know what you look like either.
