Must be having a company buyout today, there's guests in the park, hope they have fun.

The lampposts being brought back would have been so wonderful, a big missed opportunity for sure.

Have fun everyone who gets to go.

It was so much fun watching the videos on YouTube people have put up, and the pictures here and on Facebook. Wonderful job!

Another sign WinterFest is getting closer, the Eiffel Tower Christmas Tree is all lit up now!

Just voted, let’s do it. They were at number 7 yesterday, that’s a big jump to number 3! Good to see the park itself is helping now as well, with posting on their social media.

Here's a pic from the KI International Street webcam, getting ready for Winterfest with some snow coming down.

TEA released their attendance numbers yesterday for 2024 at Knott's during the TEA SATE NA Event; Kings Island has a healthy number coming in at 3.465 million visitors and is again the second most visited amusement park in North America.

I saw that Six Flags New England got some surveys as well, so 9 parks now. I'd like to see the Vekoma multi launch coaster to Ki, it doesn't have to go over the entrance to interact with the plaza, just remove some of these trees in front of Invertigo and there is room in the spot. Kings Island's top rides for ridership's have been the thrill coasters; guests are wanting more of it.

After 7 years of this being announced and being canceled, it's interesting to see what would have happened if it was built, my guess is it would have helped Ohio turn into a bigger tourists destination, and would give visitors to the state another park to visit, so it would give the state 3 parks, this being more of an Entertainment Park like they were aiming for, setting itself different than KI and CP. The Delaware County area is really booming, with Polaris there and this would have attracted even more people. What could have been, any other thoughts?

The Golden Tickets 2025 was just announced and Six Flags took home 3 Golden Tickets. Kings Island had a good showing, the Kids Area went back up to #2, RiverRacers took the #2 spot for Best Water Ride and the park came in at #5 for Best Guests Experience. Here is a couple links.

So glad they kept Snoopy! I didn’t think it was very likely they were going to get rid of Peanuts after they just added to their kids areas of the CF legacy parks in the last 2-3 years. I can see them renewing the license with Peanuts after 2030 also, the kids area at KI is well known and I doubt they’ll want to mess that up adding Looney Tunes.

The park is wasting no time; just saw they have some WinterFest lights already up in Planet Snoopy and Rivertown!

This looks great, can't wait to ride it next year.
