TheCrypt

It's seemingly never been there. See these pictures for reference. https://KICentral.com/parkhistory/past-attractions/scooby-doo-and-the-haunted-castle/

I agree with you that it would be nice to have, but I'm just not sure how feasible that would really be. Every ride has its own parameters for operation and every state has its own rules for adherence to manufacturers' restrictions. Rides themselves can also be so temperamental as is. Even with the same ride at two different places, they are just going to respond differently to their environments. I'm not sure I could expect both FOFs to operate the same / tolerate the same conditions as each other**, much less Goliath at SFOG and Diamondback. The same would go for Ninja at SFMM and The Bat; Silver Bullet at Knott's and Banshee; and Racer 75 at KD and The Racer. **See infamous stories of KI's FOF causing electrical issues while Drop Zone lifted through its brakes as just one example of a location-specific quirk, something every ride has in one way or another.

Something new I noticed last night is that they have now turned off the uplighting and lift hill lights. It all but disappears from the park at night.

Thanks to everyone posting these pictures. So stoked for a new wood coaster!

Very well put together. Does anyone have still have links to the teasers and promo videos?

With all the bumps going on, I figure this one might need to be seen again.

From what I've seen, most of the major attractions have POVs on FUN TV, including The Beast. There was also a POV for Fury 325 when I last visited. Has anyone else seen another ride from a different park as well?

Thanks everyone! There is one person who has a platinum pass who could land us the Breakers Express deal, but would early entry only apply to him or would the entire room be eligible for early entry?

Hey guys! Long time no see. So a couple friends and I are in the early planning stages for a trip to Cedar Point this July. The trip depends on a few different factors, and we need help deciding on what to do. 1. Will we need two days to cover all the "big" coasters, or does this depend on what time of the week we go? 2. If we do need to spend two days at the park, is there a good hotel that is relatively cheap? We would more than likely split the cost of the room(s) between all 7 of us. 3. Where can we find the cheapest tickets? Does CP offer 2 day passes? Thanks in advance!

If these were such easy fixes, don't you think the park would have fixed everything?

How does International Street look? I remember hearing that the buildings got touched up a little over the offseason but nobody's mentioned anything yet.

^What is Banshee Brew? Is it comparable to Butter Beer?

Guys what if they put a Haunt attraction in the old Crypt building? At least the building wouldn't go to waste and be useless for the whole year. Maybe the Haunt will be high quality and fun, too. I know, sounds crazy. This will probably never happen.

Wait has Fun TV replaced the preshow video in FoF's queue?

So wait the glockenspiel was completely removed? Or just not rehabbed? Who knows, it could be getting restored as we speak, but I haven't heard anything from the park. I haven't been to KI yet but judging by oldiesmann's pic at the top of the last page the clock has been completely removed.

I would be really impressed with Kings Island if they brought back the multicolored drapes that used to hang in the Festhaus. But with the removal of the glock, I doubt the drapes will make a return. http://KICentral.com/photos/displayimage.php?album=10&pid=3004#top_display_media

So it begs the question of why this program was installed on rides like Adventure Express. How often does AE's line get long?

I always enjoy your trip reports. Thanks for sharing!

Where is this program displayed in the park?

Ride Adventure Express as many times as possible as well as the Scrambler, Monster, Zephyr, and Shake Rattle & Roll. Sometimes the smallest rides are the best.

Wow. I LOVE how the station looks at night. Thanks everyone for the pictures!

Don't want to be "that guy" but any Kings Island apparel you choose to endorse on media day must be bought from / endorsed by the park. Custom KI shirts are, to the best of my knowledge, forbidden on media day.

There are a lot of members I miss like tombraiderty and standbyme.

^Sorry, but Star Wars is also Disney's thing.

Shake Rattle and Roll by a long shot with Drop Tower coming in second.
