More vertical construction work has been done on Woodstock Gliders, with the attachment of the arms. (Live Still-Image captured from the Kings Island Planet Snoopy Construction Cam)

The swarm is one peice of track away from completing the flight....... We're almost there folks!.... (Live Still-Image captured from the Carowinds Fury 325 Live Camera Feed) Tomorrow.....

The swarm is really flying down the home-stretch now! According to Mike Fehnel, track installation should be finished within the next 4 - 5 days. (Live Still-Image captured from the Carowinds Fury 325 Live Camera Feed)

With such a Good Time, a Sad Time must also come..... This is that time. (Live Still-Image captured from Cedar Point Live Video Cam 1) ......As we say our goodbyes to the Good Time Theater, the final wall will soon come down. Soon........... something new will rise. I know what you're thinking.....A coaster type that begins with Div..... How about for now we stick with Diversion...... Stay tuned folks..... The Good Times aren't over.....

Construction crews are arriving at the Fury 325 site as the swarm approaches the final stretch of track..... (Live Still-Image captured from the Carowinds Fury 325 Live Camera Feed)

(Sorry for the double post) Progress is really coming along nicely on the new front entrance gate / plaza area.... (Live Still-Image captured from the Carowinds New Gate Construction Cam)

I'm going to throw a guess out and say that, weather pending, track installation should be completed by February 7th or 8th.

I'm not really sure what to say..... But in any case, my prayers go out to the infant.

I'm curious as to what price range the tickets will be around.... ....And I still haven't upgraded my CoasterCrew membership, I hope tomorrow isn't too late!

Some Rouga-pieces have arrived at The Point !! ....And winter work continues throughout the park. See all of that and more in the newest Cedar Point "OnPoint" blog post by Tony Clark: HAPPENING NOW

Great view (besides the waters spots on the lens) of Rougarou on Cedar Point Live Video Cam 3 today! (Live Still-Image captured from Cedar Point Live Video Cam 3)

Great to finally have an actual date for media day! I was guessing it'd be around then. Now if only we knew whether coaster enthusiast organizations / clubs will be invited and which ones........?

You can ride in a cage at Kings Island...... Just go over to the 301 ft. swing ride next to Vortex and let them bring you down the FUN way!

Sorry for the double-post but I just HAD to when I saw this view.....

And...... Now the swarm begins its flight down the home-stretch! Two high speed camel back hills and then into the break run it shall fly! (Live Still-Image captured from the Carowinds Fury 325 Live Camera Feed) Ohhhh! Hello again 320 ft. drop! We didn't forget you!

In an answer to the original question..... How would I feel about that....? It would be the most horrible idea for a "mascot" in Kings Island history, honestly. Just because the name has the word "Kings" in it does NOT mean that it has or ever had anything to with an actual king or multiple kings. It didn't. That's almost like saying that because the word "Island" is in the name that we should move the whole park to an island. Any form of "mascot" dressed up as a "King" would just remind me of the Hart Park over in Louisville..... There's a reason why it's called Kings Island, and it has nothing to do with an actual island or king.

The swarm is preparing to fly out of the double helix element and into the final two high speed camel back hills.... (Live Still-Image captured from the Carowinds Fury 325 Live Camera Feed)

^ I agree with that 100 percent. I've been hoping the last few years that we could once again buy poster maps at Kings Island. ....And actually, Cedar Point indeed still sells poster maps every season.
