Diamondback96 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 What kind of show would you like to see besides a musical revue, Interpreter? And isn`t Snoopy on Ice, not technically a musical review? Yes, it has songs in it, and the skaters skate to the music, but they are not singing in it. Too bad the shows can`t return to the quality that they were in the early KECO/Taft days. Escapades anyone? Well Snoopy on Ice definitely doesn't review musicals! Definitely a table service restaurant. And a final decision on SoB. I don't want it to sit there, if it's not going to be used that land could be used for something else. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhimes90 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I didn't want to create a new topic for this, so I just decided to put it here. I just passed KI earlier and the entire gold pass parking area has basically been torn out. Almost all the poles are gone and the attendent booth seemed to be missing as well. Makes me wonder if they may be repaving and re-designing the parking lot due to SC expansion. I will try to get a picture tomorrow if I pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this spells the end of Gold pass parking also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Perhaps Mr. Ouimet blew a tire out in one of the craters in the lot. Not only do they need to do the main lot, they need to do the employee lot as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Maybe they are removing the white posts and going to put in curbs and with islands for trees, not unlike how they separated the handicapped/VIP parking lots several years back. Sort of beautifying things so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhimes90 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I was able to grab a few quick photos of the gold pass area today. Just so you could see what I was talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Aren't the bus shelter and part of the fence of the drop-off area missing too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsrattler Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 That's a lot of piles of asphalt/dirt laying in the parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I may sound like a broken record on this but these things are needed in KI, 1. Make the festhaus into a festhaus with german cuisine! 2. Fly or die on the SOB issues.. 3. Re Theme parts of the park, RiverTown looks more and more off the more i visit, Adventure Express has some FX work, OktoberFest needs some German feel to it, and the train needs some pruning and some sets refurbished! Which are all of a need in the KI park and hopefully will be delt with this No Operation season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hapner Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 With the addition of a new campground coming in and wolf creek lodge being used as lodging for guests it would be great if KI would partner with local a local college and maybe a company like ABB to rehab and covert the passenger trolleys to hybrid/ solar/ electric operation. With a fairly designed rebuild it would showcase emerging technology and provide a means to get people back and forth to their cars and to distant lodging. It would be a very high visibility project with a lower than most capital outlay. Think of the advertising to be sold on the tug and cars as well. A private path between the park, the lodge, and the campgrounds could be used so the trams would never be on public roads. One of the most fond memories I have of visiting Kings Island as a kid was ro watch how all the different rides actually worked. I think it may be why I chose to become an engineer in my adult life. If there is interest in this please contact me as I would love to play a part in making this happen. Best Regards, Tom Hapner 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
