https://www.visitkingsisland.com/blog/2025/january/soak-city-expansion-construction-updates Two new construction updates have been posted to the Kings Island Blog! The area is looking really good and the photos seem promising. I'm excited to see what the finished product will look like.

If you spend 1,000 hours recreating KI rides in games..............

Just a few photos from my visit today! Discovery meadow looks beautiful... but Storm Chasers (now wind chaser) trains are hideous! Lol. Overall though, im happy the park is getting some love finally from Herschend.

Bump

The old fence was getting to be in REALLY bad condition. That said, the new fence would look better if they painted it blue, or put some Soak City logos on there, or both.

Cornerstone, which is the employee cafeteria, is probably one of the coolest things I experienced as an employee. One of the most memorable things I did was ride on a parade float during Carnivale. There aren’t that many "cool" backstage areas—most of them just look like office buildings. Some of the storage areas are interesting but also kind of creepy. For employees who have been there a while, you can get your license and are allowed to drive in the park on the back roads. That was probably one of my favorite things to do. It was amazing to be able to drive a car under The Beast, Diamondback, Orion, and Banshee. I was a super privileged line cook and probably got away with more than any other cook. I don’t know of many cooks who were able to drive in the park—usually, that’s reserved for warehouse workers, supervisors, and team leads.

I want a nice smooth intamin giga. I don't think b and m will make a giga for a while. Millennium force is my favortie steel coaster and that is what pki needs,they already have the best wooden coasters so they need one awsome steel coasater. I think a giga be awsome at pki!
