SonofBaconator Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 If your on the train and you look to your left going to Soak City, you'll see a little road. Where does that go. I google maps it and it just looks like it goes behind DB and The Beast. But what's back there anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Sorry for not answering your question and asking another, but is the dirt road behind Great Wolf, near the Christmas Store (over by Kings High School) the maintenance road into KI?

SonofBaconator Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Sorry for not answering your question and asking another, but is the dirt road behind Great Wolf, near the Christmas Store (over by Kings High School) the maintenance road into KI? Yes. That I know. I just wandered where that road want behind DB and Beast. I just assumed it was maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 They are access roads in the back areas of the park. When I worked in maintenance back in 74, we used them to go to the back area of the Lion Country to construct the mono-rail and rehab the sheds for the animals. They are used for maintenance and there used to be a water treatment plant in the back area that served the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGeek101 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Well, employees enter at the far right of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that gravel road (meaning the one jdawg mentioned, there behind Great Wolf and running parallel to Kings High School) many times, but I've never gone down it for fear that I'd end up trespassing and getting in trouble with the park. I know it used to be part of the campgrounds, too, but I never knew it had to do with Lion County Safari--I didn't think it went back that far. LCS must have been huge.

Jayblazer Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I go down that road all the time it just ends at some gates.. There are green houses back there and a great look at sob and flight deck. Now when you first turn on that road there is a path more then a road on the left that I have not yet been down but I'm sure when I see some action on sob I will head down there.

Original Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 So, Jayblazer, your an employee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 The road that is behind the GWL is Kings Island property and if you go beyond where Columbia Road ends, you are trespassing. The road you are talking about is the old Columbia Road and there are other maintenance roads through out the back area of the park that allows access to all the rides and the rest of the property. They are all private property and unless you are employees of Kings Island authorized to access them or contractors, you are not permitted on them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayblazer Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 No not an employee. I guess I'm trespassing. I don't go past the closed gate just back to it. There are no signs saying "no trespassing" until you get to the gate. And I don't see any along the woods to the left as you drive down the road. I wouldn't hop the fence or go beyond any reasonable boundary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 The road directly behind GWL is not tresspassing. It's another access point to the southern end of the GWL parking lot. Hence why there is no gate keeping you out of it. You were not tresspassing. Just don't go past the KI gate and you are fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
