Queue area for a new Haunt maze.

I don’t think they really need either of those for people to take notice. They already are. They are proving with “most expensive investment ever” that ISN’T an extreme coaster, that they are playing in a different lane.

With the "new" Herschend coming into focus this next year, I think we will see Dollywood moving even further into the "national destination" status (i'd venture they already are more than than a regional at this point). I could see them defining their tiers more with the recent acquisitions being more regionally focussed, and SDC and DW becoming more "national destination" flagship resort players once the SDS resort comes on line.

Nope because they decide the day of when to sell it and no one knows when they'll sell 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.

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.

It’s also crazy that there’s a massive building, with some type of track being loaded into it, that’s opening most likely in March of next year and we still really have no definitive idea as to what the heck it is. In this day and age of media attention- that’s pretty impressive (and they must have good friends in the sevier county planning and permit board that keep their secrets well.

Dollywood continues to put themselves into the premier tier of theme parks. With everything that’s happening with SIX it’s nice to see some parks continue to thrive and invest in their customers.

I know this is absolute sarcasm but man....I really wish that was something that was cooking up in the background.

Great PTR. It's a wonderful park for sure.
