Paywall for me, is it for additional rooms or a waterpark expansion?

 

What are they doing that FUN/SIX is not?

There is a 126 acre nature based theme park being built near Indianapolis, they broke ground last year, called SkyLake Adventures theme park (added Adventures part to their name on Facebook a few months ago) and they’re opening this year in phase one. It will be in Sheridan which is close to 45 minutes north of Indianapolis. It won’t be as big as Kings Island, Cedar Point or even Dorney, but it will be something to do in the area that is different than your normal theme or amusement park.

This one might actually take off, but not sure about any big rides to compete with even Indiana Beach at minimum.

 

I love it when these old threads reappear in the feed. 12 years later!

Biggest fanny pack measuring contest this forum has seen in a long time.

Are you sure that's not cargo pockets? 🤷

The database that needed to up was upgraded was done this weekend by @malem .  🥳

With that announcement, let's make sure our forums are not a threads of emoji codes by using emojis sparingly. 😁

Thanks for your help on behalf of the KIC Admin. 🙂

I think the whole KIC team does a great job with their social media 

Thanks, that means a lot.

As little credit the current social media team might get/deserve I do believe they can make some nice posts from time to time.

Is this in reference to the Kings Island social or the KIC social?

I wish Christopher the best in his new role. He was always nice to me when I spoke to him at the park.

I am so happy the flag poles are no longer there behind the sign.

The view showcased in the images above is really nice to have because it showcases three different eras of Kings Island history (Coney Island, the original Kings Island, and the modern Kings Island) within one vantage point. (That could be a nice social media post once Spring comes around!)

 

Thank You, but why wait until Spring?

Is the site made by Intamin or something?...jk it just feels like every couple of days the site crashes lol

@malem is working on it. We are now sure why the server keeps doing this.

Too much skyline, or too much Panda Express?

Lol, I don't remember the last time I had skyline in the park and Panda is very seldom. I went by that bathroom a lot while I was taking pictures and looking at Invertigo.

The one by Invertigo was actually very quiet this year . . almost forget you're at KI.  Also like the one by The Bat.  Outside of AZ I like the Brewhouse.

I gravitated towards that one a lot this year.

I hope you are able to brave them at some point! 

Great TR! I adore both MM and Knott's and can't wait to get back to them. No plans made yet, but I want to!

I enjoyed WinterFest this year and agree with @super7on his assessment. I enjoyed my visits and it really is a special event that needs to remain.

Yeah I don't know what is up with my browser. It's been doing this since the new refresh came out. It does look a lot nicer though when you can actually see the words! I'm on Chrombook right now

Might want to clear your cache in the browser.

Not counting the kids area, the next section that I think that would need an expansion/refurbishment would be Action Zone (based on time of last addition/refurb). To me the only section that is acceptable to be filled before that is The Vortex plot. 

Very much in agreement with you here.

Yes, @malem was able to find the cause on the back end and get that fixed. After applying updates, instead of rebooting and coming back up it was just shutting off. 

We are going to work on getting the forums and database updated in the coming days.

Great to see. Unfortunately, it'll be next weekend before we can get any pictures with KI, as it's closed the rest of the weekend. 

Such a great man. Happy Birthday to Dick Van Dyke. His brother was funny as well. 

Pasted from the park: Due to inclement weather, Kings Island will be closed today, Dec. 13, 2025, and tomorrow, Dec. 14, 2025.

Guests who have purchased tickets for Dec. 13, 2025 and/or Dec. 14, 2025, may use them any other WinterFest operating day through 12/31/2025.
