I think they pull the catchcar, if they're not finished with the chain work, they're probably going to be that way until that's completed to keep them out of the way.

I like the general organization a lot better than the previous generation site, it's easier to find things without digging, but I don't care for the use of the Legacy Six Flags fonts. In my opinion, the Cedar Fair style fonts that are being used on the corporate site are clearer and easier to read.

Smash Factory? Or something like that. Totally tracking with you. Can’t remember the name, though.
Google to the rescue. https://darkridedatabase.com/rides/action-theater-3/
Funhouse Express, 2005 and 2006.

Was Circus Horrors 3D in the Action Theater? I remember it being in the Festhaus (pre- Panda Express) and eventually in the Enchanted Theater as Carnevil.
Yeah, I've got the name wrong. But there was a 3D-side show with a carnival/haunted house type of theme that ran for a couple seasons next to Elvira.
-
SpongeBob wore out his welcome, but it was fun during FearFest/Haunt when they would have Elvira on one side and Circus of Horrors 3D on the other (when both sides still worked) prior to the abandonment of Haunt season use and the other side becoming Urgent Scare.
The brief return of Days of Thunder in 2004 was nice to get, unfortunately it didn't stay around very long.
The Dinosaurs Alive companion show was an upcharge, so I never did that one.

Looks like the usual "cold weather tunnel" for doing trackwork, but trackwork on a GCI less than ten years old seems odd. That section is higher-stress though so maybe a new top layer and fresh steel?
I haven't seen a Notice of Commencement for a while, so I'm not sure if GCI has a contract open with the park right now. Most parks have GCI do tracking on their GCI rides (SFMM being a notable exception, but wood track seems to dry out quickly there and Apocalypse got retracked down to the ledgers by a third party a number of years ago now.)

King Cobra eluded me by a year. After not having been at the park since 1997/1998, I got a Gold Pass in 2002 and on my first visit in May, headed up the Eiffel Tower before leaving and got to see an empty space of dirt. I hadn't been aware of the removal until that moment.

I once read on here that each of the FOFs were constructed differently to see how much time they could save by their different building methods. If I remember correctly, the KD ride was built after the building and vice versa at KI. This meant that for KD, the crane was actually installed in the building and was--at least at the time of the post--still present long after the ride was constructed. And I'm pretty sure that the race to finish ended up in a wash. Now... whether any of that is even true is another thing. I wish I could find the original post, but it's been so long; it's buried somewhere.
Close, but you’ve got it backwards. KI’s building was built before the ride, KD’s ride was built before the building. The bridge crane is still present in our FOF, not sure if KD installed it, and is used for inspection baskets.

That one works. Unfortunately it confirms they're keeping the "castle bridge" for the entrance instead of reverting to the descending pathway and entering the building at queue level like the original.

The track is fine I think, they just need to do better with keeping the trains up because it seems like after they do a proper train overhaul, it's great, but then back to the usual offseason work and it starts getting some rattle and vibration again. They used to do those proper overhauls more often, sometimes just on one train each year and there was a serious difference.

I wonder if they're putting the long-lost lights back on the centerpiece while they're at it.

Magic Mountain probably did with Revolution.

Got a bit of a fight happening now: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/12/08/business/paramount-hostile-takeover-bid-wbd
QuoteParamount has gone straight to Warner Bros. Discovery’s shareholders with an all-cash offer in an extraordinary endeavor to gain control of Hollywood’s most sought-after prize – a bid that Netflix beat on Friday.
Paramount was widely expected to be the frontrunner for Warner Bros. But WBD opted instead for Netflix, which it said offered a more lucrative deal. The proposed marriage with Netflix caught Hollywood insiders by surprise — including Paramount CEO David Ellison, who still contends that his deal was the better offer.

And why are there two dozen different kinds of concrete surfacing?
And that extra seating area for the mess hall, seems like that, and the turf for it, got relocated to build the pavilion by the Carousel...

The Paramount/Cedar Fair tech integration was tricky too. Cedar Fair had an antique system and adopted Paramount's entirely, but there weren't any apps or "pass accounts" to sort out, let alone putting together two major such systems...

Now if they'd also take the "Kings Island" off the Mystic Timbers sign. Like, you don't have to remind me what park I'm in guys...

I know it's probably unlikely, but I'd like to see the "castle" bridge entrance removed and take it back to a pathway down and around in front of the building, entering at queue level, instead of having steps right inside.
-
I don't think that ever got fixed.

The Core is what I had heard rumors of in the past, but it wasn't released until after the ride opened if I recall correctly.

So, about that Paramount Parks patent regarding Tomb Raider: The Ride?
Paramount Parks no longer exists.
Who do you think owns it now?

Orion's drop is the exact same as Millennium Force's at 300' even. That horse is so dead by now there's nothing left but pieces of bones.
Siren's Curse was not stolen, Six Flags Mexico had their permit to build it fall through, and Cedar Point had a nice section of flat land to put it.
The Crypt building can only support a flat ride that could safely operate inside the clearance of the box. If no such high-caliber flat ride like the Giant Top Spin can be found to install, if the building is going to stay it would be a great place for an indoor coaster like the survey concept. Theme it to runaway mine carts, change the entrance and queue from a cave to a mine shaft, it'd fit in great with the other mining themes in Rivertown such as on Beast.
