What's the issue? You've simply posted a photograph of how Tomb Raider: The Ride actually looked.
If I close my eyes I can still hear the outdoor queue soundtrack playing.

I doubt Subway will be replaced with a Mac and Cheese bar as Cedar Point’s Mac Shack just closed. I actually think a Blue Ice Cream stand would be a good replacement because there is not really and I’ve cream place in the back of the park aside from Ralph’s ice cream, which does not even serve Blue Ice Cream and is not always open. I just hope that it doesn’t sit boarded up.
That's a good point! The park does need another location to get Blue Ice Cream and Coney Island is the best candidate.

I hope someone working with CF sees this.
With the closure of Forbidden Frontier, it would fit in perfectly to move the rope raft to the lake in Adventure Port.

Tbh I feel like the most we could see on opening day is the rides open along with restaurants and pavers complete. I think theming will be added more as the season goes on mainly during the week of weekend operations in April/May.
That's still quite a lot of work to be done. I'm not seeing this as an Opening Date option.
Based on images that exist online. As per TOS won't link source

Here's a concept I made for Adventure Express - would this be at all possible?
In short... No
Not to misconstrue that if you throw enough money anything, anything is possible. But this would require a much larger scale upgrade to a rollercoaster that had no intentions or the technology back then to provide such an element.

What I do hope is that KI will address the lines for some of the food stands around the park.
The closure of Chick-fil-A will help lessen the crowd levels when entering and exiting Planet Snoopy. Now they need to work on creating a better queue for Blue Ice Cream because it spills into the path every time.

Our old Flying Eagles! I sooo miss that ride everytime I go to the park. I cringe at that basketball game everytime I walk by it knowing my favorite flat ride ever once resided there. I feel the need to go back to Carowinds or Knoebels suddenly...ha!
Admittedly, Woodstock Gliders didn't fill the void of the OG Flying Eagles.

They wanted it to be prominently in the "middle" of the park. Turned out to be a GREAT decision.
It makes me wonder. What would KI replace BLSC with? It's right in the center of the park and will (in a way) be a second centerpiece.
I still have hope for a giant Eccentric wheels!

On April 8, 2024 a full eclipse will pass through Cedar Point while a full/partial will pass through Kings Island. How cool would it be if Cedar Fair announced a way to ride some of their roller coasters during the eclipse! Since these events only last a few minutes only a select few trains would be able to achieve such a ride experience so I'd expect this to most likely end up being an exclusive event. But man what I wouldn't give to ride The Beast during this!
Edit: WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE TO RIDE THE VOYAGE!!!

Has KI made any announcement if the new flat rides will be able to operate during Winter fest next year?

I love the addition last season of the Tomb Raider loading drums in the station. The downside is that it's difficult to hear, with the other outside noise and FunTV. An updated sound system would really help.
I would also love some themed music in the queue line itself. I don't know how copyrighted it is, but I wouldn't mind them recycling some of the other TR:TR soundtrack pieces:
Not that CF has used non royalty free music before (IE WindSeeker). Most of the music from TRTR came from paramount IPs. Such as the preshow ambient music, that is actually a snippet from the show Survivor. The only music Cedar Fair owns outright is the ride music, preshow video music, and the loading drum beat as those were created for the ride by Rob Portoff and the park owns that music. Same idea as IMA score.
While I would love to see the old outdoor queue music for TRTR to make a return to this area it is music from the (old) Tomb Raider movie, (old) Jumanji, and the film Baraka.
I have attempted to try and upload the indoor and outdoor queue music on YouTube but alas the music police always remove the audio.
I'm not against the idea of using the music from TRTR though. It would work perfectly for this area!

Why do I keep reading reviews and comments that say "this isn't quite done" or "you can tell they still have a few things to finish" or "there are more elements coming"
Because it's a forum, a collection of fans with their own opinions.

Chaperone Policy coming to Carowinds after recent incident. I'm all for this policy, parks are not a daycare.
Won't be surprised to see KI announce this soon.

As I commented on the Cedar Fair 2023 additions thread, I am excited about this unique coaster! I wonder how this will compare to the Whizzer at Great America (a Schwarzkopf similar to the one they are referencing with the ride's name and layout). I also wonder if the "throwback name/design with a modern design trend" will mean Kings Island could someday get a King Cobra Surf Coaster? Wishful thinking, but it's possible.
And upon watching the POV...
That spiral lift with drive tires is going to be cool! Also, I am loving all the high-speed turns! Good on WoF for doing their homework with the layout; who knew that kind of layout from back then could translate into a great (looking) coaster today!
You'll be happy to know the person who made the layout of this coaster is also a member of this site!

Still scratching my head on why they would invest more money into CGA yet not add any flats to Kings Island which really needs them.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkMaybe Kings Island forgot the homework assignment was due today.
But in all seriousness while no one will disagree Carnivale is always welcome, it's not technically NEW. Still hoping for further announcements as KIPR Twitter hasn't posted anything yet about a their New for 23 yet

Who here is old enough to remember when the tunnels got you wet by spraying you?
To add to the discussion on the cannons, it would at this point make sense to give control back to the operators. Considering that the only ways on the ride to get wet are the waves the boat makes when the cannons don't work, and it's kind of a let down during the finale when none of the cannons go off.
When I worked at WWC and was at Tower 3 (The finale) I would play a game with those looking out from the lookout point. At the controls we had the option to blast 2 cannons. One of which was better than the other. If I got a thumbs UP from guests I would give a high blast that would cover the entire boat, but if they gave me a thumbs down I would time it just right and hold the blast button for just a second to give a low blast which would absolutely DRENCH a single person on the boat. Most of the time people gave a thumbs down lol
Here's a video on YouTube that shows one of the controlled cannons from Tower 3. At 12 second
Man that was the absolute best! If KI currently has those cannons disabled at Tower 3 I hope they read this topic and bring it back! In addition since the park is now cashless they should just make the guest cannons free.

The left channel was Outdoor, right was indoor cave. Each one hour.
But we shouldn't leave out during those years the following song played NONSTOP at Beast TVs
