Park map changes

[dare-to-fly]

Not everybody rode The Racer on its opening day, Terpy! (I'm so jealous of you for that.)

[The Interpreter]

And Son of Beast.

There's that, too.

[dare-to-fly]

True, but considering the time difference, Racer is more impressive.

For anyone who hasn't noticed, a new park map is now up on the site at:

https://www.visitkingsisland.com/images/uploads/file/2013%20KI%20Park%20Map.pdf

Not really any noticeably big changes but here's what I see:

1. Vortex track is now more orange-y
2. Thunder Alley is gone
3. AZ water tower is gone
4. Racer's supports look more detailed

Also I notice the lack of a change. They did not add the new tallest dinosaur to DA.

So overall pretty boring in terms of changes to the map, but still a new map is a new map. And something about seeing a new map gets me excited for the opening of the park!

I wish they had left the logo in the middle of Action Zone, it's still there and it looks too empty with it missing.

[Creed Bratton]

Overall, like you said, not much of a change. I do however miss the days of the rides and attractions being labeled by number, thus showing more detail generally to the rides/attractions on the maps.

[SonofBaconator]

It looks great but I still see that ugly white building next to Diamondback....

[PKIDelirium]

Huh, the metal detector canopy is back on the map.

[DontWantToWait42mar0]

Flight Deck isn't easy to spot.

Also Actionless Zone looks bare.

Meanwhile a big change on another park's map!

I like how the header image still shows Disaster Transport.

I have to disagree with you. I'd rather the rides be named on the map rather than having to look up what they are. Just from a more useful perspective, I'd rather they not change back. Food and the like can be numbered, but not rides, please.

The front looks so empty without Spiral.

[coasterfanatic83]

And by empty you mean full of blue, B&M, wing-rider goodness, right?

[PhantomTheater]

I mean empty with a big hole that used to be filled by the exaggerated Spiral caricature.

I think it's time for Cedar Point to get a new map style, too. Citigraph! Really, Compare Gatekeeper's "height" to Wicked Twister's. Gatekeeper is barely noticeable since it's shown from such an extreme overhead angle while Top Thrill Dragster is scraping passing planes. Couldn't hurt to try out a new style next year. (Spoiler alert: they won't.)

[CedarPointer]

Looking at Citigraph's website is a real blast from the 90's.

[The Interpreter]

You have a way of really making the Terpster feel ancient.

Harumph!
