  1. Hopefully they'll repave the parking lot with the new parking tolls. ;)

     

    Fellow fans of the classic rides at Kings Island- I want you to close your eyes and take a deep breath, maybe put on a relaxing tune.  Our favorite rides are safe.

     

    I love this.  I always saw KI's slide collection as being small and out of date.  Love the drop door concept and the shorter inner tube slides look fun as well.  I'm a huge fan of having a feeling of free fall on slides, which is why I missed the Fast Trak slides.  I will have to get used to seeing a slide only about 20 ft short of Racer's height, though.   

     

    Won't be at KI next season for reasons beyond my control, but I will definitely look forward to this in 2017! 

     

    Thank you Kings Island and Cedar Fair!

  2. Probably invitation only. Maybe at the top of the Eiffel Tower or some other small space. Or backstage somewhere they don't want guests. 

     

    Kings Island replied to a guest on Twitter that guests will be able to attend.

  3. Here is my guess.  This is going a lot of my gut feeling, but also in what I want/don't want to see (in other words, heavy bias).

     

    - Racer will not be torn down

    - New front gate and/or fountain rehab (fits what CF has done with CP, Carowinds and KD)

    - New thrilling flat or dark ride

  4. I am also hearing rumblings that two things that have been at the park since 1972 that virtually everybody has experienced will be removed to make way for something new.

     

    I find a bit intrigue in the part I italicized.  Perhaps its not a ride, but some other thing like the main entrance or the fountain that'll get a makeover or something.  Maybe a spruce up of the Eiffel Tower or KIMVRR?

  5. So what attractions that aren't either Racer opened with the park?

     

    All I can think of are Scrambler, Monster, Viking Fury, and the Grand Carousel. And I'm not even sure about Viking Fury. Not sure if Dodgems would count since it was originally in a different location and therefore technically it was a different ride, since it probably had a different configuration.

    Viking Fury is not a ride that was there in 1972.

  6. Enthusiasts need to come up with a re-wording of Andy Williams' It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year' for when announcements come (and for the start of theme park season as well).  

     

    Can't wait!
