    That's not even the Flight Commander logo. Should be this. Someone in merch got lazy. 

    Actually... What you're seeing is a lesser known logo for Flight Commander commonly used on merchandise for the attraction. (See examples below)

    It's common for rides and attractions to have more than one logo. 

    I wouldn't call the merch team "lazy", I think they're doing a great job with the designs. Excited to see the full 50.

    The only reason I knew the scrims were original is I talked to one of the guys on the show and he said they were original and had been refurbished. Plus if you look at them they have a few nicks which suggest their age. As far as the cannon and mummy, I know they were in Madame Fatales last year and I figured they just moved them from there and will probably move them back to the maze this year. I’m actually quite impressed though with those scrims, the fact that they look like replicas shows you they did a great job refurbishing them. In any case hopefully we continue to see more things from the ole Phantom Theater. 

    Had we had more room we could of displayed more in the lobby. They are indeed very fragile and amazing they are still around.

    ^ This is off topic, but I love trying to guess what year pictures of the park were taken. It's pre-2017, as Mystic Timbers isn't there. I believe I can see Reds Hall of Fame logos on that building, so it's at least 2013. I *believe* I can see the Fischer Family Care Center peeking up by the International Showplace, which would mean this picture was taken in 2016 at the earliest. I'm gonna guess 2016?

    Correct ;)  2016

    Google Maps satellite imagery shows the same thing.  The "second floor" facades are just that, facades.  The real building roof is lower than the facade and flat, as you say.  French Corner is especially obvious this way.  Link for reference: https://goo.gl/maps/7nEh5ymGNTwxEJTV7

    And yet, it looks like this from International Street (from when Starbucks was at that site in 2011):

    Fun Fact, there is a 2nd floor above the Spanish Building (Sweet Spot) This location was used for offices during the 90s, hasn't been since.

    The only way to access the upstairs is via ladder once they removed the midway facing steps.

    Well... in his defense, no matter what dark ride would have been built it likely would have been there.  It made logistical sense then, and I believe it still does. 

    Now, was it a toss up between Moby Dick and Enchanted Voyage?  To imply that needs proof.

    How do we know this concept was even for Kings Island? Is the point I was stating.
