I don't think the planters or kiosks would need to be too big, probably 8'-10' across at most for planters w/ seats. For context, the space from the entrance building to the front of the I.D. sign picture area is 60' while the distance from the entrance building to the edge of the parade route is 35'. Putting one on either side of the street would leave about 20' between the edge of a planter and its nearest obstacle (the parade route, the entrance building, KI Trading Co., and the FunPix building). Even something like this tower kiosk at Epic Universe (screenshot from a TheTimTracker video on YouTube) would work and serve as an elegant wayfinding method at the entrance to the park. I'd prefer something a little better looking and with an overhanging roof for Kings Island, but it'd add visual interest either way, especially if done well. A planter could have a small tree or large/tall vase full of flowers (like the fountain in Adventure Port) in it to accomplish the same.  Canada's Wonderland — which has one of the best park entrances that I've seen — used to have small trees in this area that accomplished this very well. I believe Kings Dominion still has some of these near their entrance, although their entrance is much denser overall. A legacy walk full of personalized bricks right there would also be cool. Cedar Point installed one on their Main Midway for their 150th anniversary. Either way, something definitely needs to be done to take Kings Island's International Street just a little further to cross the finish line. 

Is this (and Shake, Rattle & Roll's) birthday sign made with AI? This may be the only appropriate use of it in the park I can think of, but it still feels off. I can't control what other people do; however I can be upset about it. Maybe a better way of putting it would be that it feels a little disingenuous. No special merch, no other decorations, barely any social media posts about it, just an AI birthday cake on a cardboard sign that some will need their glasses to read. Something tells me this was not made or commissioned by Kings Island's sign shop... 

Decided to go up to the park after work,   Spent from 4 to close there and got a surprising amount done in that time.  There were really light crowds from what I expected, managed to ride all the major coasters and included Delirium, Drop Tower, WindSeeker and Viking as well.   I got my first 1-1 night ride with the new track on Beast, and I have to say, those newly reprofiled bits have really good floater air in 1-1.  I was nearly up against the lap bar on the 2nd drop.   I can't wait to see how it rides once its more worn in.  Also really want to try to ride in the back in the future with that section.   

Some above fence pics Also saw them working on the Crypt building.  I'm not sure there was anything to it but found it interesting.
