Klabergian Empire

I disagree with a European theme since International Street already encompasses that. Having 2 areas of the park with the same theme doesn't make sense. Ceding AZ to Oktoberfest OR re-theming AZ to a haunted area would be the two most feasible options.

I love the idea of having Oktoberfest annex AZ. I feel a re-theme of AZ is the best way to go about "fixing" it. But I would suggest Banshee and The Bat to made part of a sub-zone called "The Black Forest" and it can have a spooky/haunted feel to it.

The seventh fact on there is probably the most accurate one on there.

Just as I was reading your post an amazing idea came to my head: What if they used the train as a haunt called "Safe haven Express" and had a sign at the station that said: "Take the train to safe-haven". So people board the train and the train starts out as usual but the train breaks down at the halfway platform. They evacuate the train and attempt to make the rest of the journey on foot but they are abused by zombies. They are chased and harassed by the zombies through the Whitewater Canyon route and the come out at the train yard where a rescue train is waiting for them to take them back to Rivertown. I think that would be a cool idea they could do for Haunt.

I now know what I must do...

According to the park, it reached the end of its service life. That good enough for ya?

Kinda regretting not buying a pass sooner....

Thanks! One less mystery to me of Kings Island now...

Yeah I would like to know where they set them off as well. It's always puzzled me.

A store......with toilet paper! Now I know we're gonna make it through

Wow. Just wow. A lot of my friends are really gonna be disappointed.

I miss the antenna that used to be at the top of the Tower.....hope it comes back soon! And Racer's paint job.....

@DeltaFlyer Ok. Ive requested access.

@DeltaFlyer Could you make the document so people can view it but not be able to edit it? Since it is a google doc it should be able to.

They could use the third train station and use that as a landing to an extension of Rivertown...

Yes, very interesting read.

The "Rhine River Falls" idea kinda makes sense. Late 1800's to pre-WWI Germany had a colony in eastern Africa called Deutsch-Ostafrika, or in english German East Africa. For those wondering, that former colony makes up the modern day nations of Burundi, Rwanda, and Tanzania. Anyways, that area was filled with rivers and lakes and there was one river (can't remember it's specific location and modern day name) that led into Lake Tanganyika that the Germans called Der Afrikanische Rhine, or The African Rhine. And just before the river emptied into the lake, there was a big waterfall there (still is). So yeah, it kinda makes sense.

I can see it now...: When you purchase your Dumpster Fire Solar Trees, you'll become the talk of the neighborhood. Lets listen in: "Jim, did you see what the (Insert cliche last name)'s put in their yard"? "I sure did! Looks like deformed Apache helicopter that's painted blue." "Really? I thought it looked an awful like an inflatable tube man holding a broken road sign." As you can see, a Dumpster Fire Solar Tree will not only make you energy independent, but also the talk of EVERYONE within a 3/4 mile radius of your home. Buy you Dumpster Fire Solar Trees today!!!

Well....Don't get me wrong I see what y'all are saying. The is hard on everyone. And looking at it I pretty much agree with @King Ding Dong about containing it.... I just thought....nevermind. I'll just go back to reading comments.

I think what @SonofBaconator was trying to say is that this thread should be specifically dedicated to corona virus impacting amusement parks and their businesses as such. Any other discussion on the corona virus like sharing medical findings or whatsoever should be put in a separate thread in the "Off Topic" forum. And I agree with that 100%. I have seen a lot of discussion relating to corona virus and the amusement park business, but there have been large spans of dialogue where we are discussing the virus not relating to the amusement park business. Again, if we are going to talk about the corona virus and it directly relates to the amusement park business then talk about it here. But if we are going to talk about the virus and its relation to stores, travel, the virus medically, or something I can't think of, then I would like to see that in a separate thread.

Ya know, I was thinking about AZ and came to the realization that with Congo Falls and Banshee, we have a tropical jungle in Ireland. Because that works.

I honestly think if AZ was rethemed a spooky theme would be the way to go. My question is will it appear as a year round Haunt or how could you make it seem like its own thing but not so much as a Haunt?

Yes. SR&R is an excellent flat. Ive always enjoyed it.

That was an amazing (virtual) Opening Day! I hope you all enjoyed it even though we cant be at the park right now. But rest assured we will be able to go to the park soon enough. We just have to wait a little longer.
