Just thought I would chime in here....
So I ordered tickets for a friend at work. After I got the ticket email I got a separate email that had this....
Mind you nothing in the context of the email mentioned anything about a new ride. I found it funny that the email said "Spoiler Alert" and then shows an Inverted coaster. Another mind game.....
Just happened to be browsing on eBay today and saw this. I'm tempted to bid just for nostalgia. Does anyone have this coat? Looks like it could be a cool thing to have.

This picture was taken last week....
The Chain is still on the ride.
These were also taken one week ago from the Eiffel Tower:
I'll upload some from yesterday as well very soon
I would say that you are safe arriving later in the day. I can't recall a year that Kings Island has handed anything out to pass-holders since Cedar Fair took over.
