Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
Rivertown Rider replied to Klabergian Empire's topic in Kings Island
I can definitely see Skyflyer getting removed with the ones at Wonderland and CP being taken out. As far as WindSeeker, I always thought it was in a weird bottlenecked location. I would be surprised if it was taken out but it is closed quite a bit (anytime it finds wind lol). -
Worlds of Fun ride removal rumors
Rivertown Rider replied to OverlandTaxis30's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Mamba holds a lot more significance to that park though than Slingshot did to KI. I realize anything is possible but I can't see it happening as it, Prowler, and Patriot are the best coasters in the park. With the lack of love they give WOF I'm surprised they are even painting it especially a different color scheme. It is also a workhorse unlike say Ka or Nighthawk. -

Mamba is getting repainted so it won't be that. I could see Zulu though. -
Kings Island to add “family thrill” attraction in 2026
Rivertown Rider replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
To the Gerstlauer point, I would love to see the Infinity coaster as it checks a ton of boxes. Curb appeal, dive elements that aren't as forced as a B&M dive, inversions, and most importantly for families a 48 inch height requirement. It is a great successor to Vortex in that location. It is also worth noting that Baker Concrete is listed on the NOC and one of the projects they have listed on their website is the footings for Pipeline at SWO. -
I think KI is concerned with both Kentucky Kingdom and Holiday World. Which I believe is the reason why KI is doing more attractions with Winterfest this year. Also there is part of me that thinks they are holding the family thrill attraction piece close to the vest until they get confirmation on what Herschend is doing. I don't think it was a coincidence that we have gotten many of the same flats (in the case of Kentucky Kingdom) and a coaster (in the case of Holiday World). I just need one of those parks to put in a Screamin' Swing so they'll add one to KI.

Kings Island to add “family thrill” attraction in 2026

I would not be surprised to see Killmart get demolished and a new restaurant put there. That area gets a ton of foot traffic. -
The Notice of Commencement for 2024 and 2025 has now been published on the Warren County site. https://ohwarren.fidlar.com/OHWarren/AvaWeb/#/search (Search for Kings Island) This does appear to have the same issue as the last Notice of Commencement did where they didn't remove all of the previous project companies. I don't see anything on here that would lead to a hint of the '26 coaster installation as GCI, GravityKraft, and Zamperla have all been part of those previous projects that just appear to not have been removed from the Notice of Commencement. Based upon past coaster installations we will probably get another Notice of Commencement for 2026 sometime in the spring of '25.

Kings Island Halloween Haunt 2024 Reviews
Rivertown Rider replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island
The 90s wrestling fan in me thought Doink the Clown was facing Lex Luger somewhere in Coney Maul. -
Timberwolf sign is gone from the gate by the ticket booth. It could be nothing but something to watch. It was there earlier this year.

This was on the KI Season Pass Holders facebook group the other day. I do find it odd that the lid is slightly ajar but that could be nothing.

Generally if something happens in Europe it seems to get extra points. It is like how you automatically add stars to any wrestling match that happens in the Tokyo Dome lol.
