The 2009 map lists it as KI & Miami Valley Railroad.

Are they moving props from our railroad to CP for StR? Start speculating!

Something on the KI website is inaccurate? There's a shocker...

The website has listed it as "Kings Island Railroad" since late 2007 or early 2008; the same time they renamed all the former-Paramount attractions.

Then why does the map still call it KI&MVRR?

Then again, it also calls Vortex "The Vortex"

Something on the KI website is inaccurate and totally wrong?

SAY IT AIN'T SO!!

Not to mention the url in the first post is still the pki one...which won't be continuing much longer, I suspect...

They just need to get up-to-date, probably by the start of the new season everything will be back to normal.

Hopefully the same for this site.

Changed the URL, so it will work in five years (If this forum is still around).

Oh, I strongly suspect this place will outlast the park's current url's. Almost certainly...

FINGERS CROSSED. Hahah. :]

Be careful what you wish for. Ownership by a private equity firm/investment company is not necessarily a panacea. How has IOA fared under GE/Blackstone and company? How many additions have been made?

And see what happens with Busch....it may or may not be all that grand.

Know also that Paramount Parks came very close to being bought by Blackstone. (Don't forget all the positioning of Kings Island as the Universal of the Midwest that Jeff Seibert posed in the last years under Paramount)

...it's just that Mr. Dick Kinzel & Co. were willing to pay even more than that company was. How that particular story ends has not yet been written, in either case.

Terpy, who often wonders what Kings Island would be like today had KECO continued to own it, or had Taft not sold it...(and who is very grateful that Mr. Lindner DID sell and even more so that CBS did...)

Wait i'm confused. What is the name of the train then? I always thought it was KI & Miami Valley Railroad.

Yeah, for some reason on the website they changed the name of it. (more generic)

Assuming they HAD a reason or even realized they changed it. With all due respect, I, along with many others, have not been impressed with the care and concern that Kings Island and/or its agents and contractors have exercised in webpage maintenance. They could do much better, and hopefully soon will. After all, Cedar Fair has only owned Kings Island for more than three years. I suppose we should STILL be giving more time to renovate and fix the webpage messes they have now at the former Paramount Parks?

Sigh.

Maby when people read Miami Vally Railroad they might think it really goes through the Miami Valley. Just thinking......

Would those same people think the train departs from and arrives back at Losantiville?

Technically, it does.

No...it does so at a sign that says that.

Losantiville perhaps if it were the Coney Island of Ohio train...

... or we could just go along with what the sign says...

Then why does the map still call it KI&MVRR?

Then again, it also calls Vortex "The Vortex"

KI is in the Cincinatti area, so people are going to say it's in Cincinatti.

Maybe they can tell Mason that if they try to pass an admissions tax in Mason!

So sorry, the park is in Losantiville!
