Last year when I got into coasters my family acquired Kings Island season passes mid season. Had a blast in 2020 despite the restrictions.
I'm sure you guys already know, but the park announced there would be passholder preview days May 8th and 9th.
Since this is our first opening day with passes I have a couple questions.How crowded is the park normally? I'm sure it will be different due to COVID, but put to scale would you expect it to be normal attendance/lines or shorter lines and less people due to it being only passholders.

I'm starting to think that Vortex's replacement won't be a coaster. I think that they could try and do a land expansion there (not the whole land due to the terrain), but try and flatten some of the land enough to do a land expansion with a couple flats. I just feel that the front of the park (Action Zone) is in more need of a coaster since the last 2 coasters were in the back of the park.
A tiny part of me thinks it might be just trees to make The Beast more immersive but it will probably be a coaster or some kind of ride

Been thinking a lot about the Crypt building recently. Is it an eyesore? Yes. With that said, however, I think demolishing it would have a lot of lost potential.
I think the wild mouse idea wouldn't be bad idea. the Dark Knight coaster keeps coming to mind and KI could easily do something like an abandoned mine shaft like Mystery Mine at Dollywood. I think KI needs more indoor attractions and while wild mouses don't have excellent capacity, it would give us another indoor attraction. Heck you could even have indoor and outdoor sections like Mystery Mine if they wanted.
The inside could get a wood facade or something to give it that mine shaft look. I don't know the feasibility of building a coaster inside an existing building that was designed for an entirely different ride, but I think tearing the building down without exhausting all other options would be a waste in my opinion.
On a side note, I'd love to see KI get a more immersive dark ride styled coaster in general, whether it be like Mystery Mine or Blazing Fury from Dollywood.
Why not just put a strata coaster inside of it... or even a Trex? talk about potential...

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am all for the death of that little thing at this point. Given the throughput and appeal to kids, I doubt that we'll see it go.
Is that because of it's footprint or because it isn't very thrilling? I've found its a good fit for where it is given the appeal to families. I personally think its kinda boring but Id hate to see it leave. Surely another family ride goes there.

Don't touch Adventure Express
I like the ride but now I go to the park more than I have but i may start opting to skip it unless I have friends with me who aren't ready for orion and other thrilling rides. the final lift hill kills it for me

Its okay! We don't really want Racer to be touched by RMC, or any of our wooden rides for that matter (its kind of like the 12th commandment on here). SOB is a touchy subject and I just think the park wants it to remain buried.
Welcome to KIC!
Whats the 11th?

None. Look in Banshee's queue sometime...Son of Beast is dead and buried.
Well obviously they wouldn't bring back SOB as SOB but some type of wood/hybrid coaster in the nature of The Beast or sob *could* happen because of the legacy it left on the park

If we are talking 2020s whats the chance KI gets an RMC? Maybe Racer for 50 years? Also for KI whats the chance SOB comes back in some form? Either RMC, or some kind of reboot for the ride (i.e. Daughter of Beast, or Son of Beast Reborn). Im sure this has been discussed a million times, sorry I joined today.

I personally like tunnels, part of me feels like the noise they create even adds to the intensity. I mean it kinda may be a "cheap" addition but I wouldn't take away from it just because they are improving a ride even in a small way.
