I've been reading comments on KD's Facebook page regarding Winterfest and there are a few people who say that Christmas Town at BGW is a better bang for your buck. Thoughts?

So essentially the picture above with exception to Firehawks presence and the placement over the maintenance building.

If possible, would you be able to rehash old photos and information about Rivertown?

If there's a potential ROI for Cedar Fair, especially since the majority of Sea World parks are open year round. Its funny- this is a Six Flags thread but we're discussing Cedar Fair. The blue on the map are current Cedar Fair parks and the red are Sea World parks. IF Cedar Fair were to buy out Sea World Parks, they would have properties in Florida which is a huge market, as well a park in Texas, and additional parks in California, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Even if CF was only interested in some of the SW parks, it would give CF a huge competitive edge over Six Flags. My only fear of a Cedar Fair owned Sea World would be changes in priorities with more attention being focused on the year round parks as opposed to the seasonal ones- similar to how Dorney, WOF, and Valley Fair! received the short end of the stick since the Paramount buy. Another potential issue would the controversy that comes with the parks such as the sea life which has always been a PR issue for Sea World. All in all, I think it would be a good business move for Cedar Fair to at least look into the potential benefits to obtaining the parks. I feel like if Six Flags got their hands on it, the chain would be ruined.

Interesting how Six Flags could possibly purchase seaworld parks. In all honesty, I still think BGT and BGW would make excellent Cedar Fair parks.

Quantity does not equal quality

So do you think any of the DA land will be used?

I think a lot of concepts and speculations lean towards the lift hill facing North, if not Northeast or Northwest. It'll be cool to see if this is true and just be completely immersed in the surrounding landscape with the park behind you.

I also prefer the current B&Ms we have now compared to the 90s- early 2000s B&MS. If Paramount got us a B&M, I daresay it might have been a Batman clone.

They COULD if they really wanted to, but I doubt it would happen. I like how Universal added lights to the Incredible Hulk coaster in 2016. It would be a nice touch if you rode it at night and saw the lights going on and off. Going back to adding to the story, I honestly wouldn't mind on ride audio on the trains in terms of engine noises. Nothing too loud to where you couldn't hear the actual coaster, but something light enough to hear while you're riding.

I used ms paint to make that rendering

It looks like its the blue engine's turn today.

@Winterfestguy Here's your answer https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/1059575242761363456

Probably, also altering the audio for the cars. The green train was not active during last year's Winterfest so I'm sure its getting decorated and is going through operating tests.

Any update on the Crypt building and weather it'll remain a haunt attraction? Is the park looking to add flats in the future? Will Kings Mills Antique Autos be altered for Haunt and Winterfest seasons? How far in advanced was Firehawk's demise planned before it was announced to the public?

Quick, someone rent a helicopter

To be honest, Son of Beast had a meh layout. IF KI was ever blessed with an RMC topper track coaster, I'd want it to resemble Zadra, the new coaster coming to Energyland in 2020.

KI does have a history of using old stations and locations for misc purposes. Snoopy's Boutique Wolf Pack Vortex's station Cavern of Terror

Its called a Glawacus

Fanboys are gonna make or break a KI giga.

Is there a picture of this? I always assumed The Beast looked like this

The green train needs to operate this season with the red passenger cars

RARE FOOTAGE OF THE OLD DOMINION LINE'S #552 Inaccurately labeled as a Kings Island, this is clearly the #552 Stonewall Jackson with the red tender and wooden cab. http://footage.framepool.com/en/shot/676752630-kings-island-theme-park-ohio-steam-train
