Apologies for the double-post, but the most genuinely unfortunate part of this entire debacle in my case is the fact that within the past 2-3 years I had gotten to where I genuinely ENJOYED and looked forward to a day or weekend at KI.  Ask anyone who knows me, and they will tell you that is saying a LOT because I am a very very difficult person to sway and once a person or place is in the gutter to me, it takes usually more than any place or person has to come back, and KI had truly done that to the point where I placed it on a pedestal above any other CF park Id attended, including that joint up north.  Now with what's going on, I am just hoping my single outing this year for my Pride Night visit gives me the warm fun feelings the park gave me last year and the year before.  The thing is, if they showed that they are honestly trying to make things better instead of constantly picking apart and making what people have already paid for worse, then I would look into becoming a passholder again, and I would GLADLY pay double the base price for the pass itself if that's what it takes for them to show me a solid value for it.

I'd love to see if Kings Island could incorporate a replica of the Moonlite Gardens building from Coney Island somewhere in the park. My first thought is that it could be a big new indoor dining location, called the "Moonlite Gardens Dining Hall". It could have an indoor VIP lounge on the second floor (accessible via stairs and an elevator via an outside entrance) and a lot of tables inside and outside the building. Maybe it could have either a cafeteria line service like Hugo's at Cedar Point or a better version of the table service-ish experience found at the Miami River Brewhouse.  It could be a nice addition for the Saltwater Circus plot or a somewhat extensive project to take over the KillMart building in Coney Mall. Kings Island desperately needs another indoor dining location and this would bring one more thing from Cincinnati's Coney Island into the park that it inspired. 

As I said before, when the quarterly interest alone is over a quarter BILLION dollars, the only words that can follow are... tick-tock... not if, but when.... tick-tock

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!: Six Flags Entertainment Company to debut a worlds first record breaking family attraction at Kings Island: Bankruptcy: The Ride!  This thrilling yet depressing attraction will spin in a downward spiral with record breaking speed!  Yet there will be scene stops that pay homage to what got the famed entertainment corporation to this point: Messy Kitchen Corner, Trash Tunnel, Broken Promise Bridge, No Caring Closet, and Removed Rides Room.  These scenes will rove and spread, overseen by Big DZ, Prince BW, and Greedy Sal. Construction is set to begin in July 2027  in the area formerly occupied by The Vortex roller coaster.

With 2026 season passes set to go on sale the 31st and how much we're seeing some parks already teasing that date if that's when we'll see Six Flags roll out their 2026 capital plans. In recent years, that's what Cedar Fair did.  Also worth mentioning that Great Adventure announced their planned 2026 record breaking coaster has been delayed. With not really much evidence/rumors at KI recently, I'm starting to wonder if KI will follow suit. I'm actually starting to hear rumblings that the crypt building is going to be a new Haunt along with the Blackout building (take with grain of salt as nothing has been announced/confirmed by the park yet and I don't know anything.) If that's true, I'm wondering if KI is going to get a ride from Six Flags America or if Boo Blasters is getting updated. Guessing we'll find out July 31st.
