  1. It would make sense for KI to get rid of BSC next so they can use that strip of land for expansion to either Rivertown or Coney Mall.
  2. Well... that announcement came out of nowhere lol I'm surprised they didn't tease it like Firehawk! Honestly, I'm glad Vortex is leaving. Like Firehawk, it was down more than it was open. Plus, it gave so many injuries. I quit ridding it after I blacked out on it a few years ago. I hope they work on the land and put a new attraction (a flat or a coaster) in its place.
  3. Are they using the floats? I noticed some skulls & bones on the floats back when I originally posted the question.
  4. We now know one of the graves, I wonder when we will find out the other?!
  5. It's actually taller than that... lol It's pretty much the same hight as WindSeeker
  6. I must say, HalloTween sounds like a neat concept! I may just have to check it out! https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/great-pumpkin-fest
  7. Based off of what I've seen in the parade building next to The Racer following GC, it appears there may be floats for this show. Hopefully it's not a "Haunted Homecoming" version of Blood Drums.
  8. I honestly believe this is what we are getting as far as quality for Haunt. It's sadly lacking more & more each year. I love Winterfest but it seems as though they are putting more effort towards that & Grand Carnivale than with Haunt.
  9. Imo, the AZ Scare Zine decor isn’t that good. They remind me of the sets back in the middle school plays
  10. HHN looks to have an awesome line up this year! I wish I was able to go this year, the Ghostbusters house sounds awesome!
  11. I honestly don't see Overlord returning to the event any time soon. The Undertaker seems to be the new emcee of the event.
  12. According to the Haunt site, it appears that we're not getting anything new other than Cavern of Terror being in the dark & the removal of Blood Drums. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/haunt/attractions
  13. I'm a little confused. What is the OFFICIAL show for the International Bandstand? Is it still Off the Charts or is it now Hot Rhythm Night?
  14. That could work! They then could tie it in with the "Space Beagle"
  15. Just like the Reds Hall of Fame Grill, I don't see this one lasting much long either.
  16. I've eaten at the new Rivertown Brew House twice this season. The first was on Gold Pass Preview Night & the service was phenomenal! However, I went last weekend and it was terrible! The line was out the door & they only had one cashier. I go to place my order and ask for bacon on my Pub Sandwich (which btw is AMAZING!), and the cashier said "we can't do that!" then I told her I got it the last time I came & she had a little attitude & was like "ok, fine!" So I give her my pass & she scans it & I go on to my seat with my buzzer. 10min goes by and no food. 5min later, my girlfriend & her parents get their food. Another 10min go by & still my food hasn't come out, so I go to a manager to ask what was up. He said he would check on it & would be right back. So I wait for a little bit for him to return & after 5min he is nowhere to be found. I look over & he is at the second register with a guest trying to solve their problem. I walk over & ask him what was up & he said he was going to check. So he leaves & never comes back. Long story short, I asked a team member & they, like the manager, run to the kitchen & never return. After almost an hour I get my food and it's not even hot. Not sure if I should return to the Brewhouse or not.
  17. What new and returning entertainment do you think will be at the park this year (regular season, Haunt and/or Winterfest)? It appears that the Peanuts Playhouse (formerly known as the Enchanted Theater) is a permanent addition to Planet Snoopy. It also looks the bandstand on International Street will be expanding according to Don's recent blog post on the renovations to International Street.
  18. I do remember Dead Awakening & Skeleton Crew. What I meant in regards to the cirque show was a possible new & original concept for KI only (since Gravity has proven to be an AMAZING original for KI)
  19. It’ll be interesting to see what shows & events we get this year!
  20. For mazes: In my opinion, I think it’s time for Ugent Scare (and maybe Wolf Pack) to retire. Urgent Scare could be replaced with a new version of Carnevil to fit the Coney Maul Scare zone. Wolf Pack could be replaced with a whole new concept. Maybe one based off Banshee. Also, I hope they bring a better show to International Showplace Theater (maybe move Blood Drums there?!) & an all new show to the Kings Island Theater (maybe a Halloween cirque show?!) As for scare zones: Dance of the Macabre would use a lot of work making it more scary than just a random photo-op. They could execute this (no pun intended) by extending it all the way down International Street, adding a new opening ceremonies & show to the Bandstand. They could do so much with this theme! Coney Maul could use a lot more theming (maybe the lack of themeing was due to the construction of the Antique Cars. With this zone, they could have a new incarnation of Carnevil where Urgent Scare currently is. Based off the popularity of Pumpkin Eater, they could extend it more down toward Larosa’s & the splash down on Diamondback.
  21. Went to Winterfest for the first time last night & LOVED IT! Hoping to go back during the run this season! I would have to say Sounds of the Nativity was my favorite show followed by Four Drummers Drumming. By chance, does anyone have a playlist of songs from Winterfest?!
  22. If they’re going to keep using other Cedar Fair Haunt concepts, I hope we get Zombie High School next year (Enchanted Theatre?!)
