I suppose as a kid, I might not have noticed back then. I hope they bring back the facades. They look more natural to me. Kind of a mini-Epcot. I also like the sidewalks. They make it look like an actual street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The question is, will the shops change entirely or will the exteriors just be redecorated? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I would imagine that the exterior of the shops will receive maybe a fresh coat of paint and some spruccing up. I would not look for significant changes to any of the shops. Likewise, I would not look for the street and sidewalk motif to return. At least not with an actual 6" high curb. That would be quite a tripping hazard as well as an ADA issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeastFarmer Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 They may get creative with the color and texture of the pavers to mimic a sidewalk and street. I'm more excited for the future of KI than I've ever been. I think they are reading my mind because 75% of my wish list items are being done!Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I don’t think the curbs will return but I’d love to see walkways texturized to look like a sidewalk. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Since they already completely clear the shops out to prepare for Winterfest, and then again before restocking for the next season, I would not be surprised to see some remodeling done inside the shops while they're empty. They could use it, they're pretty dated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I don’t think the curbs will return but I’d love to see walkways texturized to look like a sidewalk. I think you are right. It’s adding back in a trip hazard and unnecessarily narrowing things down.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Just thought this would be a good place to share a pic of International Street that my uncle took in 1972. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Kings Island can make it work. Disneyland was opened in 1955 (and Magic Kingdom, which also has a sidewalk, 1971). Shanghai Disneyland, which opened in 2016, does not have sidewalks on their "Main Street" (Mickey Avenue). It has the different-colored pavement, like what several users here have discussed.

gforce1994 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Kings Island is taking no chances with webcams. They took down the secondary webcams that showed International Street. The last time it was active was 19 days ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIC does not endorse and highly discourages anyone flying a plane or drone to get pics of International street without the consent of the park. The park will be releasing pictures on the KI Blog, their Social media outlets, to us, and the rest of the media when they are ready. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked, KI wasn’t the FAA and couldn’t restrict airspace. People have done it before. I’m sure they will again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason we didn't fly directly over the park was just to respect them. Plus, don't want to have something bad happen, and ruin it for yourself or others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Kings Island's Drone Policy: "All drones (Unmanned Aerial Systems) are prohibited at (in) all Cedar Fair parks, including Kings Island, and any unauthorized drone(s) observed over Kings Island will be reported to the FAA and local law enforcement, regardless of its point of origin or operation. Drones may pose a potential safety risk and may violate Federal Aviation Administration guidelines." From https://www.visitkingsisland.com/help/frequently-asked-questions Also, from what I understand, anything below 500 feet can be considered trespassing. The same goes for the drone takes off and/or lands on the property. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just your normal 500ft uncongested and 1,000ft congested rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
