That just looks funny to me. The subway sign just chillin there on the ground.

The 2023 Haunt and Winterfest hours were silently added to the website. As of right now everything is the exact same as last year other than the fact that New Years will go from 4-12 AM instead of 4-1 AM. The addition of Sunday haunt hours remain in place from last year's test run. Park Calendar & Hours of Operation | Kings Island (visitkingsisland.com)

Now this just got interesting. Down 2 food places, one of which was very popular. Hope there are replacements!

Someone should try to get a screenshot of the painters when they get to the part of the track visible on the mystic cam.

A new photo from the park today!

I am really liking the look so far, it complements everything in this photo very nicely, the fence and station all look really nice together. Overall, I think this new look will make the ride look more mature and less flashy. It doesn't have to be the flashy tall ride anymore since orion is here to fill that place. This allows the ride to take a step back which makes the rest of the area overall look better! I think this was the right call, can't wait to see it in person.

Someone really wanted to copy Kings Island for some reason

I'd like to see something akin to a FEC at the very least, that way there would be outdoor activities to offer as well as a few rides and possible a small roller coaster. I don't expect coney to go back to what it was before, but at the very least it needs something to attract visitors. Right now, the park is mainly for locals / company picnics. I'm not a swimmer so I have absolutely no reason to go to coney island. Now, when it comes to the nights of lights, that's something that I can do since it is something that attracts locals and tourists. If coney were to invest in go karts, laser tag, a few small attractions, ect. I would have a reason to visit the park. Just imaging coney with a large outdoor go kart track, that would be really cool! But right now, I have 0 reason to go there thus, I am not spending any money there despite me living 7 miles away. Coney really dropped the ball when they removed all rides, they have done absolutely nothing between that time and now, It's a shame, such a big move that was very controversial to invest in the water park only to not invest in the water park. They can blame Covid all they want but it's 2023, they have had 2.5 full operating seasons worth of revenue to work with nothing to show for. I want coney to succeed but at the same time I can't help but be disappointed by how their decision making has gone. Thank you for coming to my ted talk!

We're just lucky to have the cameras functional

I think the author of this article did absolutely no prior research and likely doesn't even live near or has been to Kings Island.

They are down for me as of 1:02 PM Edit: I literally just refreshed and they are back since I posted

I'm going to assume that the work done in December was purely testing mixed with hype. The painted track was the track that was closest to the rivertown walkway during winterfest. I think that the project won't officially start until the end of this month or early march. I'm sure Baynum will make easy work of the ride once they are ready to go. Plus, this isn't The Racer where you have to paint every little piece of wood, I've painted a wooden porch before and it's PAINFUL. This being a solid piece of steel, it's likely easier to work with and to apply.

Cedar Fair Announces First Phase of Development for Esports Facility in Sandusky - Cedar Fair Now I can game and ride rides!

Quick question, I have a friend who lives in Cleveland that I want to buy a bring-a-friend ticket for. I forgot when time frame of when those tickets decrease to lower than their usual $39.99. I am thinking it's in June or July they do that. Does anyone remember when that typically happens? (I am not looking to buy the tickets asap, only when it is further discounted)

That new color scheme needs some time to grow on me. It's a bit too bold for my liking at the moment.

After looking at the 2023 Calendar, It seems to have been modified recently. Now, the park will be closing at 9pm instead of 10pm until mid may. Also, some dates in august have been removed as well as the first friday of september.

According to Hersheypark, they will be open every weekend until the end of 2023 starting April 1st. I really like seeing how (possibly through carowinds and kings dominion) parks may start dueling it out to squeeze out extra operating days!

It looks like that will likely be the planter in the render

There could be way more concrete beyond that camera view or it could be for utility routing. if only the camera was pointed towards the area.

The Hershypark whip was not fun, when I went in 2021, me and my family rode it. It's not forceful at all, one of the saddest whips I rode. On top of that, the ride was VERY loud. They had earplug containers at the operator's booth because it was so loud. If you need earplugs to work a ride all day, there's a serious issue. We came off of that ride very underwhelmed.

Imaging going up The Beast's lift hill and halfway up it gets pitch black. That just sounds amazing. Make it an A Kid Again event and you are set!

As the self proclaimed *Conspiracy theorist* that I am, could this be a step towards yearly operations? This would allow for Fast Lane to become adaptable for what rides are open. If this were the move, this would give us one season of normalizing FLP rides on FL. Again, I am the one *overly optimistic conspiracy theorist* and none of my theories have any evidence.

I love how almost all the comments are people thinking Delirium and / or Banshee is being removed for the new rides.

Going to be watching this one very carefully!

I'm going to assume these new lids are like the winterfest mugs, a flap to open and drink from.
