I agree Rollerbee. I do just wish they left the two circles in the pathways with the states outlined in the one circle and went with the group sales and season process buildings, however I'm ready to walk thru the new gate.

Is it me or is the queue line for Fury way short than Intimidator? I understand that Timmy's may be longer due to the fact the station is far from the midway.

If you look at the picture Jarsh posted on page 232 I believe Fury 325's queue line is a lot bigger. Look through the trees to the right and you can see the honeycomb shade structures.

It looks as if it will run all the way down to Hurler's turn around which is quite a ways from the station. Plus with the switchbacks, the line (when full) is going to be massive.

So, they won't be constructing the Group Sales and Season Pass buildings from the animation?

I believe they said the left those builds out. If you look at the renderings you'll see another building on the tail end of the ticket booth connected be the trellis however in real life it's just the ticket building.

I don't know if any of you guys notice how swiftly Top Gun's line moves, and how quickly you can get onto Intimidator even if it's crowded. I have a feeling that Fury is going to move along a lot faster than most people anticipate, particularly when looking at the "daunting" queue line. However, I feel that the rider capacity will really be optimized and on most days it shouldn't be unbearable. (Especially not like Nighthawk my goodness :sick: ). Furthermore, even if it is 3 or 4 hours, won't it be worth the wait? I understand the struggle of lines though, so I'm just as anxious as some of y'all.

To me it looks like that roofed building is being constructed (I really like the way it peeks out from the top in the animation btw). As for what appears to be another building behind it, I have no clue.

This discussion is really for the Other 2015 Changes thread though... for that I apologize. :shifty:

Kings Island has updated their website and it seems KI will no longer be offering kennel services. Could Carowinds have made the same decision?
