thatbandguy8807 300 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 What was that on the map between Racer and FOF? I can't quite make it out. It's where the second Funpix logo is. It looks like a meteor photo op but i can't tell. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like there was a little covered bridge over the lake that they drained to make Diamondback's splashdown. I never knew about that. Very cool. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
KIBOB 252 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I too am very pleased to see foldable maps return. I'm also delighted to see that each area's midways are color coded again. Something that hasn't been implemented in years. It is nice to see a continued acknowledgement of the park's individual areas. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Hawaiian Coasters 325 6267 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 You know what would be awesome is if they bring back the old Kings Island logo for the 50th anniversary in 2022! 4 Link to post Share on other sites

It was a Paramount casualty; I believe it was ripped out in the mid-90's along with the bridge over the pond in Oktoberfest. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Pagoda Gift Shop 1015 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The Beast looks so weird on the new map. Because they have "squeezed" the former Vortex area which contains nothing, Beast looks like it is almost behind the Eiffel Tower. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Driver8rws 230 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 It's funny (silly?) to me they can still call that "area" Oktoberfest.... Is it really even an area anymore? How is Viking Furry "Oktoberfest"? And the slingshot thing? What about the Festhaus you say? Oh, you mean the "panda express building"? 4 Link to post Share on other sites

The rumor is that even the gold tags were staying home for the last two weeks. I will say that I only did a drive by 3 times in the last two weeks One odd development during the last week is that a large number of cars have been parked in the far north corner over by GWL and I don’t think they have moved in a few days. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
