Hopefully they add some flowers around the tower, that would help hide the wires, and look great!

I hope it doesn’t get removed, I was planning on riding it this year, for the first time. Hopefully they’re just moving it, this does seem out of the blue, so maybe they’re going to do something here? We’ll see in a few months I guess.

Hopefully charges are not dropped, and banned from the park for the maximum time. Since these troublemakers are hanging around in groups outside the park, the next step should be some management needs to be outside, and determine if they should be kicked off the property, if they think the group is just hanging around to cause trouble. These people doing this need to know, the park will not put up with none of their misbehavior, or taunts to security.

And if something does happen in the park, they are on it (not stuff like line jumping) very quick! This happened in the parking lot, maybe they thought they could get away with fighting outside the park, but security was on it fast! Anyone caught starting fights needs to have the maximum penalty!

I’d like to see mainly some little things that would add to the park, bring back more if it’s charm. More landscaping like flowers around the Eiffel Tower would be nice, the post office across the train station to return, lights on the log flumes drop, and the Skyride to make a comeback. They’ve done a great job on bringing things back fans have asked for over the last few years.

Yeah, it's just the first few opening days, give it time, I'm sure they'll add more. I saw where the wall used to be around the Eiffel Tower, no grass has grown there yet, maybe they can add flowers around the Eiffel Tower, not just at the footers of the tower like they usually do. I think that would look beautiful.

So many things to be excited for, it’s hard to choose which is the best! I think it deserves to be said, we should not forget to vote for KI for best park. We were at 5th place yesterday, and now at 4th. CP was at 3rd, now they’re at 2nd place. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/blog/2022/march/kings-island-nominated-for-best-theme-park-in-the-country

Great job KI! Hope they bring the lights back to the log flume as well, fingers crossed!

Looks nice for Carowinds, hopefully now Kings Island can get their Flying Eagles ride back, since they will have enough flat rides now with this expansion. We can hope.

Did you ask them about this in the book? I don’t remember it being asked. Just wondering

That is great news, hopefully the lights that are burnt out will be replaced too

I saw Carowinds is getting a new event for 2022! 2022 Carowinds State Line Celebration - CP Food Blog

Yes, that would look very nice, I hope to see the lights return as well soon. The park was really ahead of its time, it's no wonder KI 'wowed' visitors when it first opened.

This would be a great idea! I hope KI is reading these posts! This is something that is missed a lot.

Well, here we are in 2022, I think KI should open International Street Restaurant at least in the summer for the 50th anniversary. Anyone's options change? I was thinking, Kings Island should add another restaurant that overlooks IS, a perfect spot would be where Animal Fair, KI Trading Company and the men's restrooms are. Build a new building there to house both of those shops, we get new men's restrooms, and a nice new restaurant to overlook International Street on the 2nd floor, it will give different views, it won't be as big as the one over the entrance, they can open it up on busy days, or special occasions, and have both restaurants open during Winterfest.

I think bringing back the Ferris Wheel to Oktoberfest would be very welcomed. It would give something else to do in that area, since only Slingshot and the Viking Ship is the only other rides. It would look nice as well with the lighting for people sitting there eating across the pond.

This is very nice. Next season is going to be a good one!

Do you have a link that says they have 7 million lights?

Anyone know the last time The Racer was painted? It looks like its been forever!

I hope the antenna comes back as well, and hope they plant more trees for shade.

More info being released on what happened. Not good for the park at all. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/2021/07/09/adventureland-park-fatal-accident-2021-raging-river-ride-11-year-old-drowned-michael-jaramillo-david/7912842002/

I can see the park starting to post more boards for rules around the park, 'You can't do this, this or this, doing any of the things listed, you will be removed from the park, up to and including being banned, plus if needed arrested'. Sad that it has to come to this, but to make sure everyone knows this type of stuff will not be tolerated.

Morning everyone! Orion is looking great this morning From: Kings Island livestream video.

The book came today, been reading it for awhile at page 63, enjoying it a lot. Learning some new stuff about KI, great book!!

Just got my email yesterday saying the book was shipped, can't wait! I wonder how does this compare to other amusement and theme park books out there, like the one's for Carowinds and Kings Dominions? I listened to the podcast about the book and Evan said CP has one that ends in the 60's, is that the only one for CP?
