I did see a gold tag pick up two pieces of trash in Planet Snoopy the other day. I didn't know this particular younger gold tag but thought it was good to see that.

Is the Coke Freestyle in Rivertown open?

I agree I don't think that the majority of people remember which floats we have from year to year. If they insisted on moving something from another park, just move Mountain Gliders back here where it belongs and then you only have to rent the trucks once. You could still probably do that more economically than the floats.

Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
Rivertown Rider replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
I headed up to the park for a few hours late this afternoon to visit one last time before the merger was official tomorrow. I typically just ride based upon how busy certain lines or where I am at in the park on a particular visit. I rode Cargo Loco first and then decided to head over to Action Zone, where I decided to ride Congo Falls then headed over to The Bat. While I was in line for The Bat, I realized that unintentionally I had ridden a Cedar Fair addition (Cargo Loco), a KECO addition (Congo), and was getting to ride The Bat (ordered by KECO/opened by Paramount). After I rode The Bat, I headed over to towards International Street and stopped to ride the Grand Carousel (Coney/Opening Day Taft). While riding the Grand Carousel it hit me how much history this Carousel has seen throughout the years. From being at Coney to an opening day Taft attraction through all of the subsequent owners and changes, the Carousel has been one of the few constants since 1972 (or 1926 in the Carousel's case, even if it moved a few counties to the north). Throughout all of the changes, there have been good and bad and curious changes, but Kings Island has always weathered those changes. Change is one of those constants in life that we can't do much about. I have enjoyed the Cedar Fair era overall and if Cedar Fair and Six Flags take the best of both chains, we could be in for another good era. Just like all of the eras before it, there will be some good, some bad, and some curious changes, but I'm hopeful that Kings Island will be the same outstanding park it has been these last 52 years. -

@disco2000 Was this on the side closer to Invertigo or closer to where this new concrete pad is?

On the March 2024 Mason permit report there is a permit for a Coca-Cola Refresh Station in Action Zone. https://www.imaginemason.org/city-government/engineering-building-planning/monthly-permit-reports/ Who knows where that is going in Action Zone but I would expect movement soon for that. I will be curious to see what happens with Timberwolf after Music in the Parks is over in a few weeks as there is no SpiritSong this year. From The Bat lift hill you can see behind Great Wolf that it looks like all the water line work is done so could this all be adding up to the revamped front gate / Action Zone redo that we have been talking about for years?

Delirium is my favorite. I'm also a big fan of Shake, Rattle, and Roll.
