Despite no trains on the rollercoaster tracks yet, they're keeping busy still. Very cool!

Just curious are they waiting till spring to paint the flying aerial chase roller coaster? I figured it would be green by now.

Yes I love this design myself. Sounds like everyone worked as a team to bring this to life. As a Computer Graphic Design graduate, I love the way this looks from that perspective too! I have to agree with what robintodd said above me!

^ I feel dumb here, but what does DOJ stand for?

^ I just wonder with the merger of Six Flags/Cedar Fair, if this speeds things up for CGA with closing the park down? I'm sure once they decide to shut that park down, there will be rides going to different parks across the chain.

What could you possibly put in there without going into copyright stuff? I do miss Days of Thunder, but now in days, people might be lost with that movie. Maybe they could call it The NASCAR experience.

To me, when Don decided to leave/retire from Kings Island, I found that as a shock. My last few visits seemed a little off just because I noticed Don walking the midways at Kings Island. Other than that, to me Kings Island had a repeat success year of 2022. Just my opinion though. I thought this year was fun for Kings Island.

This is old news here, but has anything been mentioned about the SOB station/wolf pack area? There was rumors during haunt that it was possibly coming down this off-season.

I'm very skeptical about this merger. I don't want to see my favorite Park(Kings Island) have the Six flags name in front of it. I'm also worried that they'll mess up one of the Cedar Fair parks like they did with Geauga Lake. I doubt they'll mess up Kings Island because that's a crown jewel to Cedar Fair. One of their crown jewels anyway.

Forgive me, but what does that stand for? SSBR?

I know who the GM is, but who is the comm director?

I wonder If he still visits Kings Island? Not trying to dig into anything here, just saying that he holds the record for most rides on racer. I hope he keeps that going.

I hope he gets to be a manager of that Buc-ees. I know Don would be happy as heck to do that.

^ I didn't hear either one of those guys talk in the video.

Cargo Loco is a fun little family ride. I enjoyed riding it along with getting some great photos of it with Banshee. Sol Spin has a lot of intensity for being a solo ride wheel. I feel like it pulled some Gs for sure! Overall, I love these two new rides.

I wonder what happened. I know the article says that he's pursuing something else in life, but that could be a cover up too. I hope Kings Island didn't let him go.

Is this area accessible to guests right now? I know by Coke Free-style it's closed.

Just walk up and introduce yourselves to me when you see me.

Does Kings Dominion still have their amphitheater? I feel like they did, but I don't know for sure. I know it was rumored to be leaving.

Anyone going to be at Coaster stock this weekend? I'll be there! Please let me know which one of you is coming so I can meet you.

Anyone know If they fixed a couple of the sprinklers in the royal fountain area? I know everyone is talking about the new Grain and Grill that just opened, but I won't be down to Kings Island until middle of May so I was curious.

^ In my opinion, It's their own fault for removing their railroad.

Hmm, the first one makes sense. The second one I'm going to say, "Are you crazy?" Mystic Timbers has been a hit with Kings Island since it debuted in 2017. But hey, that's what makes this topic fun, but I would never trade Mystic Timbers to Cedar Point. There was a rumor a couple years back of sending Rougarou to Valley Fair, but I don't think that's going to happen now with the Top Thrill Dragster work that's going on. But since a lot of people don't like it, here's my trade scenario. Trade Rougarou to Valley Fair for Excalibur. A lot of people say it would do so much better at a smaller Cedar Fair park and would probably become a hit there.

^ My facial reaction right now. ^

I'm going to miss Skyline being there at the corner of International street. Maybe people don't care for Skyline as much anymore, I don't know. I'm just glad they kept the one in Coney Maul. I'll definitely give grain and grill a try.
