Just like the title says. I would probably chill with Gary, ask him about the park during its development, what it was like meeting Walt, and other stories about the park. Seems like the type of guy who liked to polish off a couple of cold ones after a long day. HONORABLE MENTION: Mr. Koontz is up there, he’s totally that chill neighbor that’s like “Nah I didn’t see anything going on last night at your place” when you threw a rager. Probably likes to hoop in his driveway and went through a brief cycling phase. Who would you chill with?

If you had to propose at KI, where would you and why? I would probably propose outside of The Beast because that’s what I call my ex wife!

It is. STRENGTHS: Unique, no other park in the region has an upcharge laser tag arena. Revenue generator Indoors No height requirement family friendly WEAKNESSES: Hesitant to buy in due to up charge Cost to renovate tomb raider show building to a laser tag arena staffing OPPORTUNITIES: Seasonal overlays Season pass holder discount/free with prestige (added value for passes!) Competitions ticket add on Could have celebrities that visit the park visit this attraction for marketing THREATS: Local FEC’s Video games Seems pretty bulletproof to me…

Yeah, and you know what else didn’t last? Winterfest. Guess what? It came back, went away again, and then came back. Good ideas never die. Imagine SENOR KOONTZ holding up a laser blaster running around the tomb raider show building for the promo video, would be fye

Nah dude Mike would not let some mid laser tag up charge attraction slide, this would be top of the line, QUALITY stuff, you would be handing cash hand over fist just to get in.

Imagine getting off The Vortex and then ripping some laser tag with your crew…simpler times man, simpler times…

WindSeeker is the best flat in the park, it’s a premium experience.

I woke up this morning and a thought has been stuck in my brain ever since, what if Kings Island had a laser tag arena? Think of all the fun that could be had, so many different game modes, or various theming possibilities, the fun truly could be endless, but then it hit me, where would this go? There’s just so many buildings where this would fit right in throughout the park. Personally I would like to see this go in the tomb raider building. Where would you like to see it go?

Ah yes, this event is clearly not successful because it took a marginally longer time despite competing with another well established coaster event less than three hours away. If anything this shows the event is MORE successful, because it shows they can pull a crowd when competing with other events, which has a huge overlap with their existing market.

Holy oof Gonna be a hard one to cope with, gonna take some time to wash this one down. RIP to that big beautiful steel taco looking thing, drop had me like “ahhhhh”

Looking back on this question, I rescind my former answer. The WindSeeker bathroom is the best…for now. Once we get The Vortex replacement foot traffic will return to the area, turning this sleepy hidden gem of the park into a bustling spring of activity. As it stands, it’s a great place to unwind, hearing the sounds of the Antique Cars, Racer, and the music of WindSeeker drift through the door of the bathroom and into the stalls. Do you think the bathroom by WindSeeker will get renovated whenever we get a Vortex replacement?

That’s like saying Orion and Great Pumpkin are the same because they’re both roller coasters. There’s so many different factors that go into what makes a strong bathrooms experience at KI, cleanliness, location, build quality, and color palettes all play a HUGE factor in determining what separates the outhouses from the royal thrones. Let me put it like this, let’s say you gotta go, would you rather go to a sweaty, busy I Street bathroom at the start of the day, or maybe waltz a little further into the park and find a nice secret stall that you can relax, maybe scroll some KIC, and really lock in and set a plan on how to conquer your day. I know which option I would choose…

While every visit to KI I may not get on a ride, there is one thing I always do, go to the restroom. I’ve always been a fan of the restrooms near Backlot, just something about those subtle brown and beige colors of the building makes it easy to do to my business. Plus, knowing all of those thrilling attractions like The Beast or Diamondback or roaring by only a few hundred feet away, it really reels me in and gets me excited for my day. What’s your favorite restroom?

Imagine this, you walk into the park expecting to see the normal royal fountains, and instead you notice the Kings Island sign is missing, and is that - that a red carpet? You gaze further down where the sign was and see the red carpet transition into steps, INTO, the fountain. Welcome: to the Royal Hot Tub *insert Jurassic Park music* The fountain is a waste of space, it’s old, valuable real estate, has to be converted every winter and then brought back to life, what if we could collectively enjoy the magic of the fountain all year long by converting it into a hot tub? SF/CF loves building on the legacy of their parks, and this would be the perfect way to honor and continue the legacy of the Coney Island pool, by creating this centralized hot tub for guests to enjoy. Also imagine after a long day of winterfest going for a soak, floating down I street, closing your eyes, smelling all the tasty treats, taking in the magic of the season. As an upcharge maybe they do like adult only night senor frogs style with foam parties and rave lasers, have a DJ on the Eiffel Tower? Thoughts?

Probably add a loop to Adventure Express a loop with those three bench trains would have me geekington

Great ideas here guys, love seeing how we’re incorporating the loopy Dee loops into the rides without loopy Dee loops. Mystic would be pretty sweet with a loop around the lift hill like Kumba or Banshee

Boo Blaster isn’t going to make out of this decade, and a replacement is on the horizon. They could take out the ride system, gut the building, and replace it with the Midwests only All Indoor Straddle Coaster. This would be similar to DarKoaster in that it does two separate laps via a switch track, and would have subtle theming differences between each lap. Story goes Boocifer is back and you have to hop on motorcycles to escape him and the spirits around the house. Thoughts?

What ride would add a vertical loop to my brotha @Orion-XL200

If you could add a vertical loop to one ride at KI what would it be and why? for me: Adventure Express, because it would be DOPE

Yeah that double down looks great

If I could put in any last minute addition it would probably be to convert the second story La Rosas’s into a podcasting studio for Tower Topics. Imagine a state of the art facility, similar to the Joe Rogan Experience, nestled in the heart of the park, so Don and Ryan can truly focus and hone in on their craft. Additionally, in The Vortex plot two separate mansions for Don and Ryan respectively, along with a heli-pad and helicopter for when they need to film content for Worlds of Pod or a guest is flying in. This way they can chill at the park 24/7, give these guys their own refresh stations respectively that no one can get to, and unlimited Pub Burgers. Also a prestige lounge (for tower topics prestige members only) that’s the height of the burj khalifa for them to chill and hang out and film reels for content.

They should play this song whenever the waves start at Soak City: Everyone could float around like a crab, just hanging out, maybe do some crab arm motions. Just kinda opens up the theme of Soak City a lot more you know, let’s it be a choose your own adventure kinda beat Like you swim up next to someone and their like “o what’s up man I’m also a crab come in the waters nice and warm”

Crazy that KD cancelled winterfest it’s almost like they didn’t open their indoor rides, restaurants, or change the event line up once since 2018… This is classic CF, if it doesn’t work just cancel it, don’t try to change it, just give up. Happens all over the chain, what a shame.

SIR YOU DON’t UNDERSTAND I HAVE THE PRESTIGE PASS AND A WICKED GREEN TOWER TOPICS T SHIRT THAT COMES IN ANY SIZE YOU CANT KICK ME OUT OF STARBUCKS

Troll? I’m literally talking about ways to enhance the guest experience and reduce friction, increasing shareholder value with a new and familiar revenue stream, and refreshing culinary options with vegan inclusive options, don’t really see how this could be deemed trolling? It also alleviates recruiting as staffing would be done externally, and provides guests a familiar and comfortable option for those who aren’t as familiar with park options. Following these ideas up with practical ways to market these additions (ex: Mike skydiving off the Eiffel Tower) is an easy way to drum up hype, similar to the Walenda walk. If you think this real, concrete, and practical ideas that I proposed in this thread are “trolling” then you must be high as schell.
