Welcome to KIC!

Magic Kingdom. The level of detail at Disney Parks is incredible. Also, it would be nice if Kings Island had more ticketed events. For the most part it seems they do one event a year. Coasterstock being last season and this year being the ACE spring conference. Once you have a decent amount, if not, all the season pass add-ons, there is really nothing else you can do to elevate your day at the park other than maybe purchase some snacks and souvenirs. KI doesn't offer behind the scenes tours, no After Hours, no dining with Peanuts Characters. I'll beat the dead horse of KI should also increase their season pass price to enhance the guest experience in the park overall.

I would beg the differ. Giga Coaster, and Water Coaster were very much desired additions by the majority here. The park answered with Orion and River Racers. As far as what our expectation was and what the park delivered however, is a different story.

Anything new implemented by Cedar Fair usually has a rough start. Prestige passes, All season dining plan, ect.

I guess in a sense this now a decoding thread. The fact that a lot of the survey markers found have been in Coney Mall I’m assuming this will be the area that gets this addition. Without having to demo much these spots are were it would likely go?:

If done tastefully. I think DC comics would be a welcomed replacement of Action Zone.

Welcome to KIC Alex! Id like to see a big log flume in the old Vortex spot. Something like Steel Vengeance in Action Zone would be a great addition as well.

Are you proposing a Giga or something like KI’s “Giga” for SFGA?

Its current location isn’t bad, it just lacks seating. They really should reuse the straw bales from haunt as seating:

A multi record smashing GCI wooden coaster. Son of Beast 2.0?

The International Restaurant can then also be renamed to Mike’s Budget Buffet for Winterfest. ..On a serious note with the upgraded food offerings we have had this season. I’m hopeful that the buffet will follow suit.

Is the desert included with the buffet this season?

CP’s Frontier Sling is currently being disassembled. No official word on why from CP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1988602284500537/posts/looks-like-something-else-might-be-on-the-way-out/9348629118497780/? If it’s being removed, how much longer before KI follows suit?

I just filled out a survey for Cedar Point that asked about the importance of having an IP used for theming at the parks. DC comics was mentioned alongside Peanuts:

I’m not sure how much KK factors into having The Racer and SSBR operating for Winterfest this year at KI. Last season I visited BGW’s Christmas Town and KD’s Winterfest. KD was operating the same amount of coasters KI was for Winterfest in 2023. An hour down the road at BGW and they only had 3 of there coasters not operating out of their entire lineup. Also, Carowinds too was only operating a couple coasters. It will be interesting to see if the rest of the chain follows suit with having more coasters operate for Winterfest. Here are my trip reports: Regardless, having both The Racer and SSBR operating for Winterfest is a welcomed addition!
