    Below is an older pic of Congo Falls, but I'd like to see this kind of theme come back. That was one of the things that I initially liked about Kings Island way back when...so many things were sort of hidden away, and you definitely didn't feel like you were in an amusement park. So many trees and landscaping, giving you the feeling of entering a different world. Current examples: Beast, MT (they did such a great job with this), of course Congo, Viking Fury, WWC, and The Bat. Kenton's Cove Keelboat Canal was another fantastic example.

    Some really interesting information in that article. Sounds like they have done quite a bit of preparing to open with allowing for the coronavirus still being an issue (masks, partitions, etc.).

    I'm not able to reply on topics when using Safari on my iMac. When you click in the box, it just doesn't do anything. I opened up Chrome to make this post. Anyone else having this problem?

    Yes, that's it!

    Here is an article about our local (and outstanding) outdoor theater's production of "Tecumseh" and its decision to unbelievably cancel the 2020 season. It's been in continuous operation for about as long as KI. The cascading difficulties of attempting to hit a moving target would seem to, unfortunately, just begin the scratch the surface of the difficulties of attempting to open Kings Island at a possible later date (I, like you, am still hoping for the best, though): https://www.chillicothegazette.com/story/news/2020/04/06/tecumseh-canceled-impact-chillicothe-tourism-coronavirus/2954822001/

    Congo Falls is one of those unique rides that, if you actually get in line and ride it, you feel like you're in a completely different place other than Kings Island.

    It was just so nice to see this kind of news. I hope they post more park updates, no matter how small! I would literally sit and watch them spread mulch around if I were able to.

    A shot of (IMHO) maybe one of the best additions to Kings Island since it opened...with the bonus of capturing Vortex in the background. June 2019.

    Awesome view of WF from the IR, December 2019:

    Very interesting article...and I just have to share a bit of interesting trivia about it. I noticed the date of the article, and it rang familiar. It references that on the previous Saturday, an attendance record was set. I wasn't at Kings Island on that day, but just the day prior! (on a Friday). You can click on my trip report of that day below!

    A few pics of Coney from a quick trip I took in 2009, for those not familiar:

    I went four, which is my new PR. It's about a three hour round trip for me. My goal next year is six.

    It's really nice now with Winterfest, the off-season can be much shorter now!

    OMG, just realized I recently passed another KIC milestone! My membership can get its learner's permit in a few months!

    How many coasters has Cedar Fair remodeled/rebranded? I should know this, but I honestly get confused as to which ones are new, and which ones are reboots.

    Here is my second submission from this summer. It is so strange that I felt the need to photograph Vortex this season, as there wasn't anything new about it. It's not the first time I've suddenly felt the urge to photograph something whose removal announcement followed soon after (swan lake, and the parking tolls come to mind). If I post any obscure pics next season, you might want to pay attention!

    First picture I ever took of Vortex: July 1992

    2005 was a good year. Can you guess what this spot is?

    I searched and didn’t see a topic for this so hopefully there isn’t one already. I have not seen Viking Fury operating during any of my visits this year.. Was there today and it almost looks permanently closed. The fountain is off in the pond and everything. Anybody hear anything about this?
