^When is the next blog meet up? Also to the guy that had the bright green picture of Fury, that looks awesome and I hope when Kings Island gets a GIGA, it's those colors.

Will KICentral post pictures of the construction? I'm not sure If I can make it down to Kings Island this fall.

^ Hopefully they're repainting both Racer and Firehawk. Racer is peeling and Firehawk you can see the green paint from it's days at Geauga Lake. Are there really rumors that Firehawk is on the chopping block? I thought Firehawk filled the queues? I mean if Firehawk is to be removed for the proposed giga then I like where this thread is going as far as replacing it with a B&M giga.

^ What more do you want from an indoor eatery? Festhaus is fine the way it is to me. The only thing I would change is the outside appearance where the characters used to interact with the building.

^ What ride was Der Spinnen Keggers?

Why would they remove Firehawk?

Thank you Indyguy4KI for the video. Will there be an artist rendering later on? I know people like to skip over me, but could someone let me know please?

^ I don't know. Those people look bored on this ride.

^^ Does this mean the removal of those two game huts? Also where that yellow box goes, does that mean they'll have to build new restrooms to accommodate the Kings Mills car ride?

Days of Thunder simulator ride back in the late 90s.

^ Or how about, "Please don't bump other cars in front of you". What about the famous one? "Please keep your foot on the gas".

^^See you guys are asking about it now, but when I asked everyone skipped over me on page 5. Yes I'm quoting myself to prove that I asked this question.

I'm thinking these cars will be tracked so people don't drive their car off the course. You never know what people might try to do.

Could someone answer my question from up above please?

Yes you did dude! You deserve a big giant cookie from Insomnia cookies. We have that up here where I live in Akron and Kent Ohio. Anyway though, I'm excited about this move from Kings Island. In my opinion this will bring back childhood memories for me. I remember when I was younger, I used to beg my dad to ride the Les Taxi's so I could have a taste of what driving was like. Well now I drive all the time, but that's irrelevant here. Anyway, the one thing I'm wondering now is once Halloween is over with, do they tear down certain buildings to make it work? Like I'm confused of what building is what in this google earth image here. I know on the far left is where they normally have one of the haunts, but after that I'm lost. I'm also disappointed they didn't mention if they were giving Racer some tlc or not. I'm sure they'll do the regular track maintenance like they normally do every year, but like others were wondering are they giving Racer a new paint job at all? I guess we'll find that out on a later date.

I like your ideas there.

I can't make it tomorrow either dude. Hang in there. My guess is maybe they're doing two things next year. Maybe Racer is getting the refresher that everyone on here is guessing about on here as well as getting the antique cars back. I know my sister will be doing cart wheels if they announce Racer going backwards again.

I love the animation that you made here. Just curious, is your design using Topper track?

^ I just hope they keep the theme of the drummer guys on the last lift hill. That's been there since I was a kid. I would love it if they brought back the fog that interacted with certain parts of the ride.

What I meant is, keep the layout the same all over. Don't do anything fancy to it, just add topper track if that's the route they're going. Blondyrideon, you might be onto something here. Maybe they'll just give it a little tlc in the off-season. I think they could just paint it up real good and it would look brand new again.

Wow! This is something we'll really have to dig for.

Mercy health is based out of Canton, Ohio. Awesome they went with a hospital chain close to me.

I'd be happy if they repainted Firehawk because it's showing a little bit of green paint from the Geauga lake days. That should be part of their focus for 2019.

^ Yeah you're right. Ok let's put the Giga in the dinos land and add a Floorless somewhere in the park. I just want Kings Island to get a B&M Floorless someday.

If Racer is indeed converted to topper track, please God don't let them do anything to ruin the ride experience. What I mean is they don't need to put in corkscrews like they did with Colossus at Six Flags magic mountain. it's a classic so it needs to keep that classic feel to it so keep the layout the same, but if they want to go ahead and add the topper track to it so be it.
