    • If we ever do end up losing any historic buildings/structures on the rides side of Coney Island, I'd love to see Kings Island do something to either move them to the park or recreate them in some way. I know that isn't really something Six Flags would do, but a man can dream. Otherwise I hope someone else can find a way to preserve them elsewhere in the Cincinnati area.  Some ideas for relocations/somewhat faithful recreations if it ever had to come to it: Kellogg Avenue auto gate Stays where it is as the entrance to the property. If it would have to be moved/recreated, rebuild it at a new local museum. The Cincinnati area has enough history with amusement parks (between Coney Island, Chester Park, and Kings Island) that I think a dedicated museum would be justified. Picnic Grove gate I think this one could stay where it is while being recreated elsewhere. A similar structure might look really nice either somewhere along Kings Island Drive, in the back half of Coney Mall, or somewhere in a revitalized/rethemed Soak City. For the KI Drive idea, I think an inspired structure could be placed on the corner where Western Row / I-71 come together and there's currently just a giant unused field. Send it to the theoretical museum. Moonlite Gardens Of course this stays and gets revitalized. Could be recreated as a new indoor restaurant at Kings Island (see my other proposals for this). Otherwise the sign gets sent to the American Sign Museum. The other buildings and features feel like they aren't as special. I think Hampton Court served as some inspiration for the Kings Island Theater and might be harder to recreate as faithfully.    Are there any known plans for the Administration Building that sits to the east of Hampton Court? It doesn't look the most upkept in photos from the past 15 years.
    • As they did with a lot other content. 
    • My favorite teaser campaign still to this day was for Dinosaurs Alive featuring @DonHelbig. Only 1 of the teaser videos remains, and it's the least great one. Someone who is no longer at the park removed most of that campaign from Youtube.
    • But no one has so far (other than CoasterJack for PTON). Last year I was able to get the permits/project info online (I don't live close enough to just hop on down there to do this) including the cost of project and construction documents. Now, they list permits issued monthly....so January will be available sometime in February.
