I see them adding some sort of show.

Maybe 4 light polls and 3 flags of some sort.

Maybe six flag polls

I can't see thm all in that photo very well, but it looks loke most are round, but one looks square, and at a different elevation. Base for a power box or something different than the others?

Edit: not sure what they're doing but exciting to see soooo many pickups, trucks, Bobcats, etc. in that whole corner of the park right now!

I honestly can't see them putting something large and exciting there right in front of the entrance when there's obviously going to be a 4+ hour wait opening day.

But that's just me...

By the same token why would the put a ride in a congested area?

Anyway it doesn't have to all be light polls maybe 4 light polls and 3 flags of some sort.

I doubt that they would put a ride there, as I have suggested many times now.

A Ferris wheel would be cool though.

There is a bigger version of the same photo on KI's Instagram. Not sure how to link the pic itself, but their page is here: http://instagram.com/kingsislandpr

This area was a vast stretch of concrete without shade. I believe now there will be a center pole with an outer ring of poles that they will stretch a sun screen material, like in some Q lines. With flower planters and benches for people to sit and enjoy a refreshment while people watching. It will be for some of those people that are too chicken to ride, they can stop at the new shack and have a sandwich or strips. What is going on looks a lot like the viewing plaza in front of Gatekeeper, round shady area with flowers, seating and food nearby.

Don't we already have a topic about this exact topic?

I can easily see multiple things going in, but in all honesty, don't get your hopes up. It could be a small stand for food, or as many have told me, lighting fixtures. Other than that, I really do not see anything that we should truly be "hyped" up about. (Yes, I did stir the pot with variables multiple times too )

They are making a special place where Intamin fanboys can gather, in the shadow of Banshee, and have a nice, cool, shady place to sit, eat ice cream and chicken, and whine about not having an Intamin Giga coaster.

I understand that, and I'm not condoning it, it's just the fact of having two topics of the same idea, just doesn't seem logical in the run of things.

I still say that it won't be nothing in the circle.

Of course it won't be nothing.

It will be something.

Sheesh.

If it was nothing, how is there a circle in the first place

And that IS logical.

I think that it might be a designated smoking area. In that case, they might be able to turn down the volume of the no smoking message in Delirium's queue!

I hope that it is not a smoking area, though. I think it will be sort of a gazebo structure that has some lockers and bushes and trees and probably a photo spot or Banshee info panel.

OH SNAP!!

Lol...great reply.

The circle - pretty sure I've said before that it will be something that enhances Banshee that all guest will enjoy.

I'm going to laugh if they are just giving the circle just some new cement.

I think it will be the world's largest Dippin Dots stand where the employees will have Kings Island's long term plan for everyone to see.

As in all facets of life, rules are for those who don't make the rules.

To add to what fryoj just said, you are going to have to condone it. So long as you are here, it's not yours to choose to condone or not condone (which means to put up with something you consider morally wrong -- I suspect you meant condemn. Even if you did, the point remains the same.)

I think they are building racing Drop Towers!

If the new one is like Falcon's Fury, I support it.

Well, it can't very well be like Big Droppy Thing!

If the new one is like Falcon's Fury, I support it.

No you don't. Concrete and steel do.

TRFTW, running for the door.

What if they just made the circle larger and put the same design back in I think it would be funny.

Then why the footings?

A diversion?

And your foundation for that?
