And the TOS requires you respect the intellectual property of others. That means, among other things, that when citing an Internet source, you generally must give a link, not just name it:

It also says that you can't link to other sites without prior approval of KICentral admins, so no matter what he did, other than just not posting it at all or posting asking if it was OK, was going to violate the TOS.

The TOS line about respecting other users should be revised to ban these kinds of posts as well. It happens just about any time asks a "does anyone" question and is just insulting and adds nothing to the board.

I guess you should tell Interpreter and others who've been on this board longer than us not to say it either. It was all in good fun. That's why I put the smiley face on there.

Just a thought. I've seen crazy ideas more than mine on here what's going on in the circle.

IMHO, of which I have zero inside knowledge of what is going to happen, the only plausible idea I've seen in this thread is the planters.

Regardless of how long anyone has been here, they still have to follow the TOS just like the rest of us.

Why are we arguing about these stupid things...I turn to this video for all of you people without a snickers in your life to watch

^ I just fell out of the chair laughing. I love Will Ferrell.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say this is what our circle will look like.

This is from this Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/insidethemagic

That's a good guess. That's really pretty!

I would actually love that

Maybe it is one of these...

TTD I would love that!

Only thing is, ours would be a lot smaller than the above circle. Doesn't mean it can't look good though. Where is mrs. Mumford when you need her? I hear she is quite the gardener and could probably tell if that is what it appears is going on.

...and if that's the case, I'll bet that the inside of the circle becomes a designated smoking area.

jcgoble3, wishing that non-smokers could have a nice, peaceful place to rest without being subjected to cigarette smoke

I seriously doubt that Kings Island would put a smoking area in the middle of the midway, especially when there are already several in the area as is.

Why not? They did exactly that in Coney Mall.

There is one right in front of the path. In Coney Mall behind the Strength Game and next to the Zephyr.

If the circle becomes a smoking area, I can see the old smoking area by Club Blood being where the Banshee lockers go.

Key word: If.

Why not? They did exactly that in Coney Mall.

Where else could they have put the smoking area? There's not a ton of room anywhere else in that part of Coney Mall, whereas there are already two smoking areas near the center of Action Zone already. I think AZ is good with the number of smoking areas it currently has.

Why not? They did exactly that in Coney Mall.

Pretty sure I lost a couple years of my life waiting for my wife and nephew to get off of the Scambler last year.

I just don't see that being a smoking area.

I hope not.

I hope this year they really crack down on people smoking in non-designated area, most of the time it doesn't bother me in particular (anymore, it used to choke me), but it's rude so I ask them kindly to put it out.

Sorry, going off topic now.

My guess for the circle area is that it will be a multi-function area, with a shade structure of some sort....possibly lockers, general sitting area and/or planters as well. Could even have a kiosk or 2 in there to sell soft drinks and the like.

My hope for the circle is a fountain...or at the very least, a bricked in sit rail with landscaping like those found throughout the Coney Mall. My fear is another pay to ride (or roll) attraction. The latter makes sense as it would draw from guest waiting in line for the new attraction :/

Maybe it is one of these...

makes me think of the olympics...

It's too bad they only last a couple weeks.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums and I just wanted to say that I love Kings Island!

P.S.

Can't wait till Banshee opens!

AAAHH! Godzilla! Run for your life!

Welcome to KIC! Grab a Snickers and enjoy your stay!

MrSaturdayNite - running out of inside jokes.

It would be nice if they just completely banned smoking within the park. At least two of the smoking areas are terribly placed to where others have to smell it. People should be able to go a few hours without smoking and if you're there all day go to your car.

It's pretty obvious the circle is going to be home to the world record breaking world's smallest Zac Spin!!! It will be named Lil' Banshee. /sarcasm

Worst idea ever.

Could the textured lighting that is planned for Banshee be the reason the station is tiled with those surprisingly light colors? I don't think I've ever seen that kind of wall treatment used for the exterior of a building. It looks like it could be a good background for all sorts of projected lighting.

Did they move the water tower to another location? Or did it go to the scrap yard?

Honestly I can't imagine the circle being anything but a walkway. There's not much room to walk if that circle were anything else. Anyone who knows Action Zone from the early 2000's knows it can be really congested in that area. Still begs the question of where they will add lockers though.
