Klabergian Empire

Guys, this is going to be perhaps one of the best seasons yet. We have so many new attractions like: Return of the Antique Cars Return of Glockenspiel Renovated I-Street New collectible pins Miami River Brew House 40 years of Beast 10 Years of Diamondback 5 years of Banshee Can't think of much else. But yeah, this season is gonna be great

That is correct. There was new paint on the floors to both the 265 and 275 platforms

My question is do they actually sound a siren for severe weather/tornadoes?

I saw the video Kings Island posted on Twitter and I like what they have done. The new walkway, new trees, its all looking good. As for the old trees I will kinda miss them, I mean, they provided some shade but you couldn't really see around too much. I sure hope the pedestals to the Royal Fountain are staying put. I 100% agree with @Imperial79, they are iconic. But overall, its lookin' good!

@Cedar Fair Fanboy, I hate to shot your plane down, but I hope you realize that you made a claim based off an artistic representation of the park. Not every detail on the map is to scale or actual appearance. Take for example DB, the map shows its WAY taller than the Eiffel Tower when in reality it's smaller. But on the other hand, I understand what you were trying to say. I am excited to see the "improved" IS, but keep this in mind next time. EDIT: So me being the dummy I am, I literally read to the argument over the fountain and replied to it and for some stupid reason COMPLETELY FORGOT to read the rest of the thread. YIKES!!!!! I had no idea this had stopped until AFTER I originally posted this. Just goes to show that you gotta read everything before you post, huh? So, Lesson Learned.

COUGH* COUGH* rim shot COUGH* COUGH*

I guess that's fair. To lighten the mood, here is a random KI picture: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/52/90/a5/5290a5a0f8a0e6878b6b8e99a091752d.jpg

@IndyGuy4KI and @Phantom Theater, could the photos be linked for personal viewing or no photos all together? Because I'm curious to see what they have done so far.....

I agree with you. Atmosphere is everything.

Doubt it. The trees are probably way too large to transplant. Not to mention the root systems in the ground.

I looked closer an it appears that the trees are indeed gone.

You probably could (probably) fit a Bavarian Beetle styled coaster in that area and name it: International Runner

I'm beyond the comprehension of excited!

True, true. But I think that a Giga would be a fine way to celebrate 50 years. 50 years is a milestone in a business.

I personally think it would make much more sense to add a Giga in 2022, the parks 50th anniversary.

But that is kinda cool

The newest addition to Haunt.

1. WHY WAS ANTENNA REMOVED FROM Eiffel Tower? 2. Is KI going to return Racer to original paint scheme 3. What other rides from the past will return (at least a hint) 4. Also, the question @BlondyRidesOn asked about the organ. ( i miss it )

That would be fantastic!

@SonofBaconator, the biggest cosmetic change in my opinion would be in Oktoberfest. Think about it, there are no original rides, very little original theme, and over the years the skyline has changed. The pictures in the Oktoberfest changes through the years thread speaks for itself.

Friend: Paramount pictures was the best thing to happen to Kings Island. Me: PaRaMoUnT PiCtUrEs WaS tHe BeSt ThInG tO hApPeN tO Kings Island.

This is exactly what I have been saying for several years (not to burst your own bubble). WE NEED TO RESTORE OKTOBERFEST TO ITS FORMER GLORY!!!!!

That is because the International Restaurant was not built on the main gate until I believe 1973.

I'm not anti- american, but it is absolutely ANNOYING when I try to take a somewhat decent photo of IS with the tower and those flag poles in the way. Just keep them outside the park in front of the main gate.
