Sure, it's a stock model originally intended for another park, but it looks like a good fit for that plot of land with the bleachers where Wildcat was, and the empty plot behind that where some of the old dorms were demolished. Apparently going to be re-routing Perimeter Road closer to the marina to open up that property. Honestly it seems like a win for the park. They're basically getting a "free" major coaster and filling in that awkward plot of land. The color scheme isn't the best, with the theme some kind of blue scheme would fit best, but I doubt they'd want to repaint a newly made ride. I wouldn't want it to replace Vortex, that plot deserves something custom-built and using the terrain and midway proximity. Flattening it would lead to a strange looking area, sort of like how Orion's station and queue area look somewhat strange because of that land having previously been flattened to fit Firehawk.

For those wondering how the lantern works. You have to aim these bulbs (circled in red) at the activation point. (Orange circle). There is a reset button (circled in blue) that you can press if you would like the prop to play again. I would recommend doing this. Also for those wondering where the locations are, there is a QR code at the bottom of the lantern that you can scan that directs to a website that has a map as well as directions to how the lantern works.

The gulls think its a fine investment! What a heck of a perch they added for them this season!

Went with both grandkids on Sunday (my 9 yr old grand daughter is not quite ready for the Haunt) and had a great time.  We rode 4 rides and spend most of the time watching the shows and doing the lantern scavenger hunt.  For as much fun as the Haunt activation spots are the Tricks and Treats is just as enjoyable.   Fine job again KI.  

I'm aware you comment may be in jest but I feel it is important to support things the park does that is good.  I get an extremely good value out of my season pass, drink plan and meal plan.  I figure conservatively I have saved over $600 on drinks and food alone, that kind of savings allows me to make additional purchases in the park.  So many times I've read on this forum that people are "voting with their dollars" by not purchasing things that are not worth it as a way to send a message to management.  For example I didn't participate in the food for grand carnivale because they eliminated the tasting cards.  By the same token I strongly believe in supporting (voting with my dollars) things management does that are very well done to send a message to do more of this.  Plus have a great souviner. BTW, I was told (and I found it to be accurate) that in order to activate the lantern spots make sure the side of the lantern that has the haunt/Kings Island at the bottom faces the activation point. Again, kudos to management for going above and beyond the lantern definitely has my vote.
