Completely different font and graphics. Colors are the only similar thing. No issue here.

I’m not sure who the corporate communications director is for CF but they are not getting the job done. Every year it’s one fiasco after another. I mean every job I’ve ever had if you didn’t effectively do your duties you got canned.

I really hope another crack at this can be made. This would have been a really cool watch. Maybe someday.
I still have material archived. Unfortunately Covid wrecked havoc on the vision I had for the film. It was to include a lot of in person interviews that were not possible at that time. By the time things started to clear up there was no way of completing the project in time for the 50th season. Also funding dried up, I was unable to secure more funding to help with production costs and material. All I can say now is it would have to be the right time and situation, but never say never.

The timing is perfect because it’s the 40th anniversary of the first major enthusiast event in park history - AcCE Spring Conference. That year heralded the opening of King Cobra:
Actually CoasterCon 2 was the first big enthusiast event at Kings Island June 15-17, 1979. I have film and photos of the event.

This is really disappointing. I feel KI will really suffer from this.

I think this a great new addition for the park and think the Camp Snoopy area will a great transition to Rivertown. I am happy that it appears that it will be a family attraction instead of a "child required" attraction. I would love to see them completely refurbish and repaint the existing bathrooms in Planet Snoopy to fit with the transition to Rivertown. If they did that then everything on that existing half fits in with the theme/color-scheme other than Linus Launcher which you could either repaint (maybe burnt orange and green instead of purple and green) or move elsewhere in Planet Snoopy.
Some things I am curious about the area are in the screen grab below at the 37 second mark you can see two buildings that don't currently exist. One is a green-roofed building that borders Woodstock Gliders and another is a White/Tan-roofed building over to the bottom far right hand side next to the Kings Island logo. I know others have suggested a campfire burgers and hot dogs location and either of these could be a great location. The other building could be a snack stand, arcade, or family restrooms.
"One is a green-roofed building that borders Woodstock Gliders", this is a food truck
"another is a White/Tan-roofed building over to the bottom far right hand side" New entrance signage to the picnic grove/Soak City.

I know there’s already a thread on Camp Snoopy but I wanted to focus solely on the choice of manufacturer for our new coaster: Vekoma. With one of our Vekoma’s being demolished, another one living on borrowed time, and another one being labeled a “hang and bang” it comes as somewhat of a surprise to me that Cedar Fair decided to work with them again. Granted this is a relatively smaller addition, I think this could be the benchmark for future business with the company. Could this be what CP did with Zamperla and Wild Mouse/Top Thrill 2? Could this just be a one off with this park? Could we see more Vekomas in other CF properties?
Vekoma of old is not the Vekoma of new.

Personally I think people looking at the SOB station are looking at the wrong side of the park.
I took a stroll through Planet Snoopy and noticed a man lift in the theatre. It appears to be directly under the rail in the rafters holding the lighting, and all of the lights to the right of the lift appear to have been removed.
Stripping the building as preparation for demolition? Maybe it will be reused? Either way I think something is going on.
That's what I've been saying. Glad it was finally announced. It's going to be a great update to that part of the park

I think it makes it easier when renewing. If someone wants to downgrade or upgrade for the next year they don’t have to get a new card. I’m guessing it’s saving them money by not having to issue new cards, but also easier to manage in their system.

KIC thanks John Matarese for reporting to KIC about their investigation into any possibile 2024 additions.John Matarese from WCPO TV reached out to KIC today and reported the following to us.We went to Mason City Hall today and checked to see what has been filed by KI. They have NO filings about a possible new ride….just the Cargo Loco, Sol Spin, and various small additions like the Carnivale tent, Grill & Grain, and VIP lounge shelter. Nothing close to new buildings, footers, etc. There is nothing even suspicious at this time.
LOL, ROFl, LOL

Well we were the #1 kids area in the world for a while.
Nope. I would have said. “We we’re #1”.

Where should we be looking? And what does “We’re #1” mean?
Come one, come all 30% off.

FYE coasters is still at it? Do you guys remember when he pretended he was being given a "construction tour" of Orion but then it turned out he was just back on the Dinosaurs Alive pathway snapping photos over a fence? Lmao.
They are also not friendly. They have many 2nd accounts making fun of other enthusiasts and groups.

Prior to Tower Gardens it was the original Kings Island Theater. It was an inflatable theater that lasted until
1977 when it was replaced by the current Kings Island Theater (American Heritage Hall)
The puppet tree was in Hanna Barbera land where the pin is in the photo.
