For those who may have missed it, Kings Island has added a new "Military Days" event to their lineup! It runs May 22 through May 25. See the quote and screenshot for more details.
AWESOME to hear. Individual experiences vary - so Im glad to hear maybe Friday was an off night. Admittedly Ive only been on 3x but each time seems to be more off, so I hope that trend is reversing. Ive noticed the timing seems to consistenly be off with that final blast. Wonder if they will keep trying to get it to synch with the set of cars, or just go to a more generic loop. Highlighting all the things going RIGHT does not you an apologist any more than highlighting the opportunities for improvements makes you miserable negative grump - both just shows you care about the park!
I forget what the reason was for not finishing — or rather not opening — Frontier Canada in the first place, but I'd have loved to see what it would look like. It might've been possible to complete if Splashworks was built in a different area/as a different shape/not at all, but right now the entire path between Minebuster and White Water Canyon just feels like a giant hallway instead of being a "land" in a theme park.
As for Taft doing anything different with Kings Island, I would have loved to see a second dark ride placed somewhere on the left side of the park. If we're talking about after the park opened then I would've added a little more of an American area in International Street for the Bicentennial. The KI Theater feels a little lonely sitting there as the only American building. Either that or some "windows" on the front side of the International Restaurant.
^^I'd like to see the park reopen that red roof building in some form. For those who remember, what was that building originally? Imo it would be a good location for the park to offer some sort of gem mining activity.
