When today is Christmas!

The Beast of course!

I cant believe its almost ten years since Cedar Fair has owned Kings Island, even though I grew up with the Paramount era, Cedar Fair has done a great job with maintaining the park. Though a lot of predictions were wrong, great thread bump though!

I thought this was pretty neat, Kings Island just posted on Facebook that the Grand Carousel will celebrate its 90th Anniversary season in 2016.

When on Facebook, Kings Island posts "Is it April yet?"

Sounds like an awesome restaurant!

I agree with you 100 percent, about Xbase expansion/bathrooms!

Is it me, or whenever I see a vintage map of Kings Island, it looked like the park was bigger?

I definitely would ride that, I probably wont ever though, mainly because I couldn't afford to go to Germany, or Canada for that matter.

Your not the only one who misses it, Action Theater was one of my favorite attractions at Kings Island, and SpongeBob 3D was my favorite thing shown there.(Except when it was mentioned the Funtastic World Of Hanna-Barbara was also shown there, which I really wish I could of seen.) When it first came out at Kings Island, the line was HUGE, and there was another movie playing too Stan Lee's 7th Portal, which I barely remember, and it didn't really have a line at all. Going back to the first couple years SpongeBob 3D was there does anybody remember before the ride started that Mr. Krabs would say to secure all loose articles? They used it for a little while, but after a few seasons they took his voice out. I was actually surprised that SpongeBob 3D stayed for the 2010 season, which was strange because the park had already converted to Planet Snoopy. The last time I was in Action Theater, was when I saw Dinosaurs Alive 3D, which was alright except the seats didn't move, and now the theater is extinct just like the Dinosaurs.

Those are really good, probably the best I have ever seen, bkroz should consider becoming a amusement park brochure designer, ride logo designer, or even ride designer!

Great video of The Racer!

As I was taking my virtual tour of Kings Island on Google Maps, I noticed something that I had forgot, which was Snoopy Rocks! On Ice!, which as I remember was quite good. I wish they would bring it back, a few years back before that I believe starred Scooby Doo, I wonder if Kings Island is considering doing more ice shows in the future.

Exactly where can I see the satellite images of the SpongeBob figures? I don't think you can make out SpongeBob, but you can definitely see Patrick. Thank you very much, for showing me this!

When you notice construction at the park.

Exactly where can I see the satellite images of the SpongeBob figures?

I watched the video of the Enchanted Voyage, I wish I could of rode it, looked like a nice family ride. There were some cartoons in that ride that I haven't even heard of before.

Phantom Theater most definitely, an instant classic ride,. I believe it left the longest mark in Kings Island history because I know a lot of people want it back, and a lot of people talk about on here, and a lot of people were dissapointed when it was removed. So my answer is Phantom Theater.

I find this funny, because it's nearly 2016 and SpongeBob is still extremely popular. I wonder what will happen in 2017? I think it would be neat if they made a new Peanuts TV show that aired on one of the major kids networks. That would be possibly the best thing Cedar Fair could hope for! If kids saw Snoopy on their TV every week I'm sure it would spur further interest in the parks. I haven't seen the movie yet but I'm excited to see if the movie affects next year's attendance numbers. It probably will considering The Peanuts Movie did quite well in the box office. I'm sure eventually The Peanuts will get a reboot television show.

Being 8 years since this post started, and in 2010 when Scooby Doo was completely removed from Kings Island, I really do miss him since I grew up with him being there. But Kings Island has been doing great since Cedar Fair has taken ownership, and they do good with keeping up with the Peanuts theming. Who knows, maybe in the (not-near) future we might see Scooby and the gang return.

Does anybody know where I can find a commercial with Dick Van Dyke for Kings Island, I can only find videos of him for Kings Dominion, like this one for example, Does anybody know where the ones for Kings Island are?

When you watch a POV video of The Beast while trying to simulate the ride.

I'm excited to find this out, I really hope this does happen.

What's actually funny about that, whenever we go to Kings Island in Ohio we pass Kings Auto Mall, which my little sister said "Look there's Kings Island!" The tall sign had fooled her.

The return of The Beast foot prints would be nice, I haven't seen those in a LONG time.
