Rode Sol spin today and it's definitely my favorite flat ride! I hope it's available for winterfest, it would definitely add a thrilling ride to the lineup.

Holiday world has entered the chat

Sounds like the air quality for the weekend will be really poor due to the Canadian wildfire smoke. From what I'm hearing, we will get some of the worst (that we've had) during Friday and Saturday. It sounds like it's going to be quite the experience those days. One of the haziest ride openings in Kings Island history.

Clearly, it's the headless horseman. He just wants to ride!

I've been thinking alot about the shear amount of possibilities that the park has to go for in the coming years. The more I think about it, the more I realize there is just so much that they could do that I don't even think it would be possible to do them all within this decade without having more possibilities pop up. I have made 3 categories that I think would be possible in the near future (2-4 years), future (5-7 years), and beyond (7+ Years). Each bullet point is in no particular order. Disclaimer: THESE ARE NOT MY PREDICTIONS, THESE ARE MY OBSERVATIONS AND THOUGHTS FORMED USING BASIC LOGIC AND POPULAR GUEST AND ENTHUSIAST OPINIONS. AGAIN, THESE ARE NOT MY PREDICTIONS OR WISH LIST Near future (2-4 Years) Vortex plot roller coaster or area rejuvenation Could include a Backlot overhaul or retheme Likely will be a new roller coaster in the plot but could add more to the area Soak City addition / overhaul Soak City is in need of a new attraction and has been for many years especially with the recent attraction removal Some have speculated an overhaul of the waterpark which could rename it entirely and give it a retheme Phantom Theatre return With the park running the Phantom Theatre show from last year again this year, it really poses the question about it's reappearance. Many have speculated that it could be re-added to replace the rapidly aging boo blasters Action Zone ride removal It has been said many, many times that there is a high chance that either Invertigo, Congo Falls, or both could be removed soon. While I am hesitant to place this in the near future category, I went ahead and did it anyway under the stipulation that it would be going to bring an Action Zone retheme with it in the year(s) following. More GG Beast retracking / reprofiling Many have speculated that The Beast still needs some more track work done in more sections of the ride and that it will come soon Banshee Repaint Banshee is one of the only remaining rides that is in dire need of repainting. Many speculate that it is only a matter of time before it gets it's much needed repaint Blue Racer Retracking Confirmed by the park Future (5-7 Years) Action Zone overhaul Action Zone is in dire need of large scale rejuvenation. Depending on what may be removed would determine the scale and future of the site in terms of new attractions and the overall infrastructure Planet Snoopy overhaul Similar to Action Zone, Planet Snoopy currently could use some TLC, not to the scale of Action Zone but still something based on most people's feedback and thoughts. Many opinions seem divided on keeping it Planet Snoopy or making it camp snoopy Tomb Raider Building Could be demolished Could be used Nobody knows I certainly don't know But whatever it is It could be done in the next 5-7 years The building is a complete mystery Beyond (7-8 Years) A King Cobra or Son of Beast resurrection With Cedar Fair's recent focus on nostalgia and being that SoB and KC were beloved rides at the park (well at least for most KC was), there is a high chance that the next new roller coaster after The Vortex replacement could be a resurrection of one of these rides King Cobra would likely be a B&M Surf Son of Beast could be: GCI Titan track based ride (Ex: Zambezi Zinger) Ground up RMC End of Life for a ride With the age and costs associated along with other factors, there is believed to be a high chance that one or two of the following rides are removed: (Remember, this is 7-10 years out) The Bat (With it's recent issues, it could have a shorter lifespan) Flight of Fear Surf Dog If there is anything I may have missed, please let me know! Feel free to elaborate below!

I guess this may change in time. Gotta wear it in

I'm wondering if this is the start of a multi season teaser, there is really no time for something of such magnitude for 2024. If this truly is for this theoretically I would say this would be something that requires much hype. Now, could this just be one big tease / misunderstanding, yes. But, in a theoretical sense if this was for something like that, like I said it would need more time.

The Schedule has been revised August 16th, 17th, and 18th have been added (No Soak City those days) Friday nights August 25th 5-10 and September 1st 5-10 have been added

No amount of chaperone policy will stop people from climbing the props

That photo is from 4 years ago

This feels like #whatsintheshed all over again, but this time, we know it's not going to be anything dramatic

Well this is quite random

They somehow managed to find a way to advertise on the webcams page

Their loss

I would love the casino next door to add a roller coaster just to poke fun at coney's decision, something akin to the big apple coaster where it's just the one ride. It would be infinitely more intriguing than the entirety of coney at it's current state.

Interesting

Well, one of the words was right, *The*

Faded yellow reminds me of moldy cheese

I took this photo earlier before they put them on the track. When I walked past them they seemed like they were last year. I couldn't tell a difference.

Your update for today, Adventure Express has trains on the track!

From amusement park to... park (With fees!). What a great turnaround!

This policy is absolutely what Kings Island should have implemented. F around, find out. Giving zero tolerance and giving out real world consequences is what is needed. I know I would be absolutely on my best behavior since I would not want to go to court over something stupid I did.

I'll be going to Cedar Point for the first time the first Sunday of June so It'll be interesting to possibly see a half dismantled ride like this!

I would like to see a ride type that Kings Island doesn't have! Something with loops would be nice!
