Wow! I love the colors! Really livens the place up. Thanks for sharing!

Thats a great diagram. That looks spot on. But dont you think it would make more sense to flip where the station and the train house thing would be. Just so its easier to get in line and stuff.Maybe (hopefully) they're finally getting rid of Slingshot. But Slingshot is fun.

Is WindSeeker open during fireworks? I feel like that would be a cool view from up there.

I've got a collection I put together on flickr awhile back of KI Maps from every year except for 08', 96', 94', 91', 81', 80', 77', and 73'. Check it out here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kitchenslayer/sets/72157630405860364/

Oh let's turn it into a new wavepool!

I'm going to have to go with Cedar Point on this one

Thats swet Kyle! The location in the park feature is pretty awesome!

Okay SOB, I kind of see where you're coming from if you do something like this: But even so The Crypt is right, and getting rid of a bunch more trees would make the park look kinda dumpy. Also... Who told you this?

So in other words, build the new coaster on top of Great Wolf Lodge on land the park doesn't own.Good idea. So you're telling me that Great Wolf Lodge owns all this land circled here? Hmmm, I thought KI owned that.... It takes some serious motivation to get me all the way through Flight Deck's queue line, why in the world would they even consider putting rides further away from the main entrance of the park than Flight Deck?

Behind flight deck?!?! Wait, behind in which direction?

Anyone else out there taking into consideration the possibility of a ride like Verbolten? The old SOB terrain would work perfectly for a ride like that.

There were problems at Cedar Point, carowinds and knotts and all rides have been grounded since the end of the 2012 season. Here's an article from the Toledo Blade posted last year http://www.toledoblade.com/business/2012/10/06/WindSeeker-remains-idle-during-malfunction-probe.html DBI

I really like the new AE sign. It's good to see they're starting to pay some attention to Oktoberfest finally.

first night ride of the year was beast? Soooo jealous of you right now

Well...

TombRaiderTy has a tutorial on how to post photos at ze link below http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/26752-tutorial-how-to-upload-photos/ if you have any questions just reply

heard dat. Maybe all this anticipation will make school end faster

Gosh all this excitement is just killing me! I need to go to the park next weekend and check all this out! Also if anyone has any pictures of the old SOB/TA area from the Eiffel Tower today please post them ASAP.

You mean taking pics from atop the Eiffel Tower isn't an option? I'm not at the park, how could I do that?

Hello everyone, Just out of curiosity, which Mason water park do you prefer? The Beach or Soak City @ Kings Island

Here's a shot of the fence around the Action Zone mystery: (image courtesy of KIC's facebook page) I'm really starting to wish their webcams weren't down right now. Although I'm pretty sure they're doing that on purpose.

For anyone who hasn't noticed, a new park map is now up on the site at: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/images/uploads/file/2013%20KI%20Park%20Map.pdf Not really any noticeably big changes but here's what I see: Vortex track is now more orange-y Thunder Alley is gone AZ water tower is gone Racer's supports look more detailed Also I notice the lack of a change. They did not add the new tallest dinosaur to DA. So overall pretty boring in terms of changes to the map, but still a new map is a new map. And something about seeing a new map gets me excited for the opening of the park!

With SOB gone, the park is going to look sooooo empty. Thats all I care about seeing. After that, I wanna ride Diamondback and beast like 50 bajillian times and then ill be happy.

Wow Action Zone looks soo empty on that map. At least Drop Zone is still there
