Save AE at all costs. That’s all that really matters.

I would retheme Boo Blasters into an actual Haunted House (no guns), and Phantom Theater makes its return!
I’ll second this!

Absolutely wonderful. Love that dedication. The work is fascinating. The KI&MVRR is the crown jewel of the park, in my opinion.

I’m sold, honestly. I just want that’s section of the park to get its overdo overhaul. This could be really cool and exciting if done right.

I agree I feel like Kings Island has a plan for the building... *cough* Phantom Theater returns *cough*
Man, I think I’ve got whatever cold you have. *cough* PT *cough*

Couldn’t agree more! That era where the Nick and Hannah Barbara characters coexisted was pretty special. While I wouldn’t want the park to go “full Six Flags” when it comes to IP integration, but I’d love to see more characters utilized throughout the park.

It's 2024, I'm surprised Boo Blasters is still around since I made this post in 2018, fingers crossed something new is coming within this decade.
Fingers crossed it happens in the next two years. It’s waaaaaay overdue for an overhaul. The ride looks pretty terrible (effects, guns, etc.) and the park could do incredible things with that space.

More info for those with unusable gift cards:
QuoteIn an update, park officials said those with outstanding Coney Island gift card balances can attend an event at the park on Saturday, Jan. 20 to redeem balances for merch or get a refund.
The event is not open to the public, just those with outstanding balances. Gift card holders will be required to show their gift cards for entry.
And an incredible and honest opinion piece from the Cincinnati.com:
QuoteThe news that Coney Island was closing permanentlyhit me like a gut punch. As most Cincinnatians know, Coney Island and Sunlite Pool have been a part of the fabric and character of this city − a place that helps to make Cincinnati wonderful − for 137 years.
I heard initially that some development corporation had purchased Coney Island to develop the property into who-knows-what − pricey housing, an upscale shopping venue, or perhaps a deluxe entertainment complex. That would have been no surprise since development corporations often build whatever they think will make them money without any regard to what's really important to Cincinnati or its people.
Who owns Coney Island?What to know about water park's closure
When I learned the truth that the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra − another institution that is part of the fabric of the city − was behind Coney Island's closing, that gut punch hurt so much worse. Really? The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra? The symphony has been a part of the Cincinnati arts scene for 128 years, and CSO officials should understand better than most what losing a cultural gem that has entertained generations would mean to the community.
Boycotts are being organized and the funds for a documentary are quickly being raised. Regardless of certain questionable opinions, people do, in fact, care for the history of the park and Cincinnati and would like to see it saved. Those online, across news sites, and social media justifying and/or celebrating the closure of the park are in an embarrassing minority.Here’s to hoping for a brighter future.

I knew it the moment when we had Orion and Adventure Port.
And Mystic! Makes me excited for the future of the park and the potential thematic experiences it could offer.

I feel like the popularity of the 3 Point games has decreased a lot over the last few years. I wouldn’t hate to see them go.

Your profile location says Northern Kentucky. How are elected officials in Cincinnati your city officials?
Yeah, and my AIM screen name from 2008 was on my profile until not that long ago. Doesn’t mean that it was up to date.
Get a life and quit being a creep. You don’t know where I live and it wouldn’t be any of your business anyway.

I’ll chip in $300 for a Home Depot truck to get them back to Cincinnati. If KI won’t “take” them, we can put them in my backyard and have KIC parties. I just ask that you guys bring hot dogs and hamburgers so we can do it right.
Mostly joking.

Took a good portion of my day to attempt to contact our city officials.
0/10 answered their phones.
If you have a moment to voice your concerns instead of complaining about food plans and Intamin, you can do so here:
Be respectful and kind!

Probably my favorite show so far! Miss our Eagles. I hope they fly back to Cincy one day soon. That spot behind the Eiffel Tower looks empty…

Ok so hear me out....
I currently live about 10 minutes away from Coney. I want to be able to gain permission to take pictures of everything before it's gone forever. Not only for my own personal passion project as a lover of parks and coasters, but to be able to have them for posterity. Granted yes, there are many many many other photos out there in existence of Coney, I feel being able to get them in her final moments of existence would be an amazing opportunity.
I took a shot in the dark and emailed the park a few days ago. Of course, no reply yet. Honestly not sure if I will get a reply at all as I am sure their inbox is overflowing with an endless amount of angry, sad, resentful words.
Not sure if this can be a possibility at all. I would love the honor to be able to. Not even really sure if there is anyone else I could talk to/ask about it.
Worth a shot.
I’ve tried as well. Crickets.
They probably aren’t going to respond, unfortunately. I also tried calling without luck. They’ve also disabled comments on their social media platforms. I don’t think they want to engage anyone. Sounds like another park/social media team I know…

You know who won't be silent?
Def Leppard and their tens of fans still rocking out to "Pour Some Sugar on Me" at the new venue.
True, but tens of Def Leppard fans adds up to about 350 (dip spit filled) crushed cans of ‘Nati Light, so I doubt the traffic out of there will be any better.

More info on MEMI, Live Nation, and Ticketmaster.
MEMI:
Live Nation:
Ticketmaster:
I know the term “monopoly” has been tossed around incorrectly in light of the likely Cedar Fair/Six Flags merger… but this is broadway, baby. THIS is the corporate monopoly to be fearful of. All the way from Washington to our backyards.
If anyone wants to waste time justifying the immoral practices of private entities, then that’s on you. Bootlicking is a hobby that’s becoming increasingly unpopular. Contrarian attitudes for the sake of being different are translucent and embarrassing.
Nothing about this is good for anyone, sans a few well-off beneficiaries of the sale.

Coasterstock No More?
in Kings Island
Posted
Noasterstock 2024!
So, who actually thinks the event will happen in 2025?
The park doesn’t owe anyone anything, but this comes across as a slap in the face to many. It could’ve been a perfect opportunity to make a kind gesture to the enthusiast community that could’ve done wonders to repair the strained relationship between this/other communities.
Event aside, I’m just knocked out by the complete display of incompetence from Cha… er, The “Kings Island Team.” I work in a similar role/field and the type content and actions displayed would probably get me fired.
Just a bad look, dude. KI has the ability to do much better. And I know they will. I love the place and hate to be so aggressively negative especially after they’ve done so much, so well the last few seasons. Pretty disappointing.
