  1. Anyone else remember when concrete was poured in the WindSeeker/Vortex area in 2011 then immediately ripped up and replaced with pavers? I don't really like how Planet Snoopy, Coney, and Rivertown all have the same pavers. It would have been a nice touch if each area used thematically appropriate ones.
  2. ...with a queue area the size of Coney Mall!
  3. Oh, I really miss Demon Drop. My last visit to CP seemed incomplete without it. Also, Space Spiral...
  4. The fact that KK felt that it needed to be mentioned makes me feel like there may have been better choices... you know that lots of the guests will see it and be immediately reminded of what happened in 2007, or probably think it's the same ride.
  5. Aww. I always kind of liked the banners, especially once they got new ones last season.
  6. I hadn't been previously aware that KK was adding a new Drop Tower ride. That's rather... daring.
  7. I know this is different, but I'd like Enchanted Theater back as a replacement for Peanuts Playhouse, with a small coaster replacing Peanuts Playhouse- KI could use a small spinning coaster, and that'd be a neat location. However, I would *not* like the infamous show involving Fred Flintstone dancing with a carrot back...
  8. Volcano's queue and loading area setup always screamed "this ride is in a building that wasn't designed for it" to me. IIRC, the ramp down to the load area was really sketchy and would get backed up since the separator in the big queue area had no way of knowing how many people were on it already. It was just an odd setup.
  9. I wonder if they'll be building the second half of Volcano that they forgot originally...
  10. Oh, the things I would do for mass transit that could get me from Dayton to Mason in a reasonable amount of time...
  11. So, evidently going to m.visitkingsisland.com brings you to a different site than going to visitkingsisland.com on a mobile browser does... one that's stuck in 2011... http://m.visitkingsisland.com/public/inside/rides/index.cfm?mode=types&type=10
  12. What I would do with Oktoberfest: -Make it part of International Street (kind of like KD has the area with Berserker and Dominator), or call the area "International Festival" like CW has. -Festhaus could probably use a new name and a third restaurant added- I'm sure there's room next to Panda Express. That side of the building might need to be somewhat reconfigured, but it'd be nice to have a third "international" food choice- maybe a park-run option with rotating specials? The tables and benches would all be replaced with new, smaller tables with real chairs. Also, something should really be done with the entrance from Action Zone- it's so ugly right now. -Action Blast game should be either removed or rethemed to fit the area. -Some sort of boat attraction in the Oktoberfest pond would be nice but unlikely. -New flats in the old Skylab and Tower Gardens areas. -Give AE a clear place and time- this could be easily achieved with just a few signs and some theming in the queue tunnels. -Airbrush shirt place needs a sign that is thematically and grammatically correct. -More planters and trees!
  13. We still have the floral clock... hopefully it'll be 100% set up now that the Starlight Spectacular stuff is gone.
  14. I feel like I'd be okay with just calling Festhaus and Viking Fury part of International Street. Gives a reason for Italian and Chinese food in Festhaus and kind of makes sense considering how small Oktoberfest is.
  15. IIRC, that was on a page that wasn't linked to from the website and was obviously a test page- didn't it say Dorney Park on the passes and mention ERT on Gatekeeper or something? I think I have screenshot of it somewhere.
  16. Don't know if this was already mentioned, but... https://www.visitkingsisland.com/ticket-category/2014-Season-Passes#
  17. That's unfortunate, the experience in DA seems to be a lot better when it's not busy.
  18. Wow, that's a hideous billboard. FinkHeavy really wasn't the best font choice there, and it looks so blank.
  19. I believe the season pass vouchers said they were valid through 10/26/14, not 11/2/14 if that's any indication. Still, we wouldn't know until the schedule is officially announced.
