I think a lot of concepts and speculations lean towards the lift hill facing North, if not Northeast or Northwest. It'll be cool to see if this is true and just be completely immersed in the surrounding landscape with the park behind you.

I also prefer the current B&Ms we have now compared to the 90s- early 2000s B&MS. If Paramount got us a B&M, I daresay it might have been a Batman clone.

The Story of Mystic Timbers (Spoilers)
SonofBaconator replied to SpectralBeacon's topic in Kings Island
They COULD if they really wanted to, but I doubt it would happen. I like how Universal added lights to the Incredible Hulk coaster in 2016. It would be a nice touch if you rode it at night and saw the lights going on and off. Going back to adding to the story, I honestly wouldn't mind on ride audio on the trains in terms of engine noises. Nothing too loud to where you couldn't hear the actual coaster, but something light enough to hear while you're riding. -

Probably, also altering the audio for the cars. The green train was not active during last year's Winterfest so I'm sure its getting decorated and is going through operating tests.

Any update on the Crypt building and weather it'll remain a haunt attraction? Is the park looking to add flats in the future? Will Kings Mills Antique Autos be altered for Haunt and Winterfest seasons? How far in advanced was Firehawk's demise planned before it was announced to the public?

Future plans for Firehawk's station discussion

Quick, someone rent a helicopter -
To be honest, Son of Beast had a meh layout. IF KI was ever blessed with an RMC topper track coaster, I'd want it to resemble Zadra, the new coaster coming to Energyland in 2020.

KI does have a history of using old stations and locations for misc purposes. Snoopy's Boutique Wolf Pack Vortex's station Cavern of Terror -

What company would make a giga for Kings Island?

Welcome to KIC. Please refer to the Giga Speculation Thread as that's the central hub for giga discussion. https://KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/32642-the-giga-speculation-thread/& -

The Amusement Park Railroad Thread

RARE FOOTAGE OF THE OLD DOMINION LINE'S #552 Inaccurately labeled as a Kings Island, this is clearly the #552 Stonewall Jackson with the red tender and wooden cab. http://footage.framepool.com/en/shot/676752630-kings-island-theme-park-ohio-steam-train -

Holiday Horror. It was where the barnyard currently is and featured gruesome interpretations of different Holidays like Christmas, Easter, and so on. -
I think Action Zone should have been rebranded back in 2014 when Banshee was built and The Bat came back. It could have been renamed "Scream Zone" "Thrill Zone" or something simple. I agree we need more trees in that area, especially by Timberwolf; I might be the minority but I'd get rid of or move Congo Falls and Xtreme Skyflyer in favor of planting more trees. I think Oktoberfest should stay how it is but feed off of Action Zone. Oktoberfest is a nice transition between Action Zone and Coney Mall, with exception of Hank's Burrito Shack.

Top five things you'd like to bring back/change
SonofBaconator replied to IheartKI's topic in Kings Island
Cedar Fair still owns the name "Demon" so it wouldn't be too far off. I'd be for a new coaster called the Demon or even Drop Tower being renames "Demon Drop" -

Since its Halloween I thought I'd add some more ideas for Haunt seasons to come. Bring back the KI&MVRR to the Haunt roster and have the train go by scary scenes and fake buildings that can be changed for Winterfest Maybe explaining the Mystic Timbers backstory a little more Bring back Route 666 for the Antique Cars Change audio and effects on current coasters Change the music and scenes in the MT shed Change the audio on Adventure Express to something more scary Maybe alter the videos in the Flight of Fear and MT que to be consistent with the Halloween season Add a haunted house called "Revenge of the Maestro" which pays homage to the defunct Phantom Theater -
With the abundance of hotels being built in the area, you think Cedar Fair would want to throw their hat in the ring and establish a legitimate, chain owned, resort. If the chain had at least one hotel in the Kings Mills area, that's more out-of-park revenue for the company. If you look at Cedar Point's website, all the hotels and resorts listed on their website are owned by the chain. https://www.cedarpoint.com/stay In contrast, if you go to Kings Island's website, all the hotels and resorts they list are owned by different properties. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/stay I still think bringing back the campground would be a good idea since they attract more destination based guests who have RV's and campers.
