Can we rename this thread “Realistic Kings Island Concept Art”? I like your idea. It would be nice if they showed some love to the train next instead of treating it as a form of transportation to Soak City. Maybe I just have a higher expectation since I grew up with so much more in that area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No one said everything was announced for 2019, then again no one said there was more to announce. Just something to think about.

Simple business practices. Redistribution happens all the time in the corporate world. I guarantee you they were watching daily numbers from Haunt last year and looking for what they could cut. I’m sure they came to the conclusion that they could reinvest the money spent to run skeleton key and get a much bigger return on a Winterfest program. Winterfest was a smash last year, Haunt has aged. Get the profits while Winterfest is still new. I’m not saying that what is happening, but I’ve worked enough years in the corporate world to know how they work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m sure some Haunt items will continue to be cut in order to allow more room in the budget for Winterfest. I’d rather the park split the allotted budget space outside of the regular operating season between these events. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The black you noticed on DB’s old seats was not dirt, it was the core material showing through. The orange coating on the seats started to wear off due to sweat, rain, and other factors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you read the new Kings Island Blog it’s stated: “Construction on the Kings MIlls Antique Autos is expected to begin in the fall.” https://www.visitkingsisland.com/blog/2018/august/antique-car-ride-returns-to-kings-island-in-2019 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well Outpost 5 is still there. Maybe with some new paint??? I don’t think anything is happening. Pretty sure Banshee finished off the old guy. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well from Zephyr’s queue to the bathrooms is almost 1/10 mile. The course is supposed to be a 1/4 mike. I would have to think the Kill Mart building is going away. Unless they do something radical using a bridge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m pretty sure I’m responsible for the crappy weather. Today was visit 29. Rained 24 of the 29 times. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I nailed it. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, I’ll be there taking photos I didn’t get at CS this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And an attitude like this is the reason this type of issue will not get fixed. “Oh let’s just brush it under the rug and they will forget about it”. Finally someone will end up suffering brain damage or possibly die due to being struck in the head. Change doesn’t happen by being quiet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Exactly what I told that person to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not making a mountain out of anything. I just provided a photo of new decoration in TG. There are also non native cactus [emoji266] over in another landscape in TG. I figured that were just trying to spruce things up like they used to years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can guarantee even if it was the POTUS, The Queen of England or whoever, Doug Kramer would not allow “special permission” to do this on a ride. It would have to be installed with a rig on the train, and go through multiple checks before the train even left the station. I’ve been on enough shoots at the park to know this for a fact.

You mean these decorations? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I’m being a negative Nancy by worrying about the safety of others? I will call out anyone who breaks the rules or law. They are there for a reason. I think you may need to do a self evaluation if you think caring about people is being negative.

I say the coaster community should spam his social media pages with links to all the accidents involving cell phones. Better yet, maybe the sheriff department should make a visit across the street and hand him a nice little ticket and a summons to appear in court. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure if there will be an announcement. If so I would guess on National Roller Coaster Day.

Unless you are a guest of GWL that would be trespassing also. There is nothing to see there. Just a cleared out field for the dorms. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing to be proud of possibly causing a publicity nightmare for the park. This is another black eye on the enthusiast community when fake stuff is generated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
