I think he teased "Racer" or some other attraction or procedure that begins with the letter R. Retracking Rocky Mountain Construction Renovation of the Front Gate Restrooms near FOF Return of Action Theater Record-breaking coaster we have in store... ...but what I did hear him say was the rides in 2017.

So much is going to look and feel different, just because of the many changes happening to how we enter the park. For 43 years, it has been pretty much the same. Now, all of a sudden (as from the perspective of someone with as many orbits about the sun as I) 1. The plaza will look and feel much different; 2. It will be from a direction I've never taken into (only out of) the parking lot; and 3. It will have been after passing a void that was once the Kings Island Inn. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but it will be a very different experience for me.

We small group of KIC'ers asked. I don't think I remember hearing an answer, but I guessed it represented the tropical sun. I'm artsy that way.

The water park is a safe distance from The Racer! Jus' sayin' Yay! Train! See y'all in a couple mins.

Waiting for the next train. I got preferred parking ...dang it! So I'll save the legs and take a nice, breezy train ride here in 10 minutes or so.

Well, making my way over there from Starbucks! I needed the exercise anyway! -Tb

I'm leaving at 1:30 to have a "late lunch," then as soon as the news is known, it's back to work I go! I'll be the 40's-ish dude in the geek-chic glasses and bright-pastel green (sun-bleached Eiffel green) shirt, probably wearing a backpack. See y'all there. EDIT: I just called the park (imagine that?) ...they don't know.. all they have is "TBD". This is becoming more fun than I thought!

If it's a Zamperla Hawk 48, I'm going to completely flip (pun intended)! Doubt it, though.

That looks like the area behind that amphitheater that, unlike superstar legend Dick Van Dyke, was not present in 1972.... and what's that stage doing in the middle of the construction area for the

I believe the Kings Island Theater was not around in 1972.

All in all, I'll just be at peace with whatever decisions they've made. After all, I've seen three entire parks, all of which I've experienced in one fashion or another, replaced with 1. An RV Dealership, 2. A Resort Hotel and Shopping Center, 3. Overgrowth.

Somehow, I felt a little guilty for having pulled off $244 worth of meals for $100, then I realized that this plan is kind of like paying $100 for a season-long buffet with well-thought-out parameters, that isn't 'all-you-can-eat.' Only someone who has the tenacity to 'live' at an amusement park could really 'crush' the plan.

Ok. Back from the lab... the lab.... of Nope!

Like, take the top of the tower all the way up to the top of it, and fill in the gap with cleverly-engineered, "stretched metal" lattice work that makes it look like the coaster grew up out of the ground, taking the tower with it. ... hmmm? [lightbulb pings into existence over my head]... opening up PowerPoint... brb.

Hmmmm... The "likes" seemed to stop right around the time I lamented the possibility of the Eiffel Tower going. , yet

Quoting BoddaH: "I meant what I said and I said what I meant." We're getting a Popeye attraction?

SINCE 1972: There has been the lack of a public men's room to the direct northwest of The Racer. AND: There has been the lack of a public ladies' room to the direct northwest of The Racer. ...I feel like Ioan Gruffudd I just stretched so much!

That was worth a few snickers. Again! Somebody stop me!

◄ I've brought out the "lucky avatar" just in case.

"Oh, yeah, sure, Don. Just when I was within 11,788 rides of catching up to your record. Nice! :P"

Gosh, I hope one's not the Eiffel Tower! (That's of course unless they'd replace it with a bigger, better one, and let me have/buy a piece of the original steel.) EDIT: (For the record, I know I've made artwork and videos that have done everything to that poor tower, but to see it go would be truly devastating to me.)

I get the sinking feeling that we're in for occurances of the word "diversion" again. Whooo! Three KIC memes in one, cleverly Krafted post! Ooh, there's another! Man! I'm on a roll! I always enjoy any reports of things "out of place." Since the 'flower pot stands' of 2008, it's really been a most fun game of anticipation and speculation, that forges friendships and epic conversations!

Maybe they'll bring in an act like this:
