Hours have just been added to WinterFest 2017. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/hours-directions/winterfest

Yeah, this just shows how much preparation has to go into a big event like this!

Looks like something new came in the mail today at Kings Island for WinterFest 2017. Photo from ki_entertainment on Instagram. Can't wait to see what they have in store!

I wonder what they having planned for out by the KI Drive sign?

I can't find where it is in the park either, looking at the webcams and Google Earth. They've done a lot of off season work that's for sure!

You've done a wonderful job here at KICentral, helping make the site what it is today! Good luck with your personal business and all the things you want to do! You're always welcome here friend!

This is a question Don is asked about the future of KI during a Banshee update in Feb 2014. Its a good interview about Banshee so I'd watch the whole thing, if you don't then the question is at the 5:10 mark.

Here's some new pictures of the smoke house restaurant under construction in Soak City! Work is coming along!

I don't know where its at, but it looks like its going over WWC.

Its just 'ok' to me, the old one was better. If KI was to update theirs with a new colored background, would gold look good for a new color? Or stay with what we have?

I haven't seen it either, maybe he was mistaken by the WinterFest 2017 events, that's completely different from the regular entertainment line-up for this year.

Wonderful pictures and history!! I'l definitely be keeping up on this KI Facebook page!

Don just posted this on his Twitter account!

Anyone remember when the park map came out last year? Wondering when we'll get to see the 2017 map!

Soak City 2017 calendar has also been released.

Yup, if you look more closer we can see a few workers are actually in the station itself, so we can have a good comparison of how tall the ceiling is to the guy. I think everything is going good!

Watched the behind the scene's video from Fox 19 Now, can't wait for Mystic Timbers! Its on Robert Guaderrama Facebook page. Link: https://www.facebook.com/FOX19Robert/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE

Not trying out The Flying Eagles when I had a chance in 2000 and 2001. I remember a little walking pass them, but didn't give it much thought, thinking it wasn't that exciting. If I'd had known then what I know now, that would have been one of the rides I woulda been on a lot! And also riding Les Taxis more!

I'm saying what's in the shed, maybe it will be themed to that? Show them cutting some wood up then have some vines and that tree guy in there attacking them?

What if it has something to do with the lumber company?

I love going up the Eiffel Tower, get a really nice view of the park! Also love riding The Beast, The Racer, Banshee, Diamondback and The Monster! Cirque Imagine and Cirque Origins was nice to watch too! Pulling into the park and seeing it, you know you are going to have fun!

Yup looks like a lot of it is done, this looks great! Does that look like an arch right pass the truck and entrance? That would be nice too!

I wonder if they are going to allow visitors if we have a Preview Night to ride Mystic Timber's? Or try to keep the secret in #whatsintheshed a mystery one more day.

I thought I read that cf had the chance to buy the land but turned it down. Imagine if they did, ki could have used that area for future development and expand, maybe a new themed area. I doubt this would ever happen but gwl could buy where ki inn used to be, and ki could repurchase that property for their new area, it would look nice to go along with the new entrance.
