FallingSnowSquirrel Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 So I haven't been to Kings Island in quite a few years, like when Diamondback was the newest ride. Anyway, I've heard quite a few things have been moved or removed. I'm looking for information on the main things like rides that were removed, or moved, or had their line completely remade? A friend of mine told me that WWC had its line completely moved away from the funnel cake stand and lockers, and that congo falls was removed or in the process of being removed, he was there 2 days ago. I am planning a trip up there on the 19th so I'm hoping to get some information some I'm not wandering around like "Where di this go, why this no here". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 The only thing that has been moved, that I know of, is WWC's entrance, presumably to make way for......something. The only big thing I can think of being removed since Diamondback was built was Son of Beast, with Banshee being built (somewhat) where it was, kinda. And The Crypt, it's just an empty building now. Besides them you should find everything else where you left it. Welcome to KIC, and enjoy your trip! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastien6221 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 The WWC line has been moved. Congo Falls is still there. Photo booths for Firehawk and Flight of Fear removed. Flight Deck renamed The Bat.

Magenta Lizard Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 And, Rivertown Funnel Cake stand was demolished and a new one built across the way from it. Congo Falls hasn't been touched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Existential Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 This is uncommon knowledge...but some rides are moved 6 inches to the east every other month. To compensate for Leap Day, of course. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Existential Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Eh...it's why we pay 12 bones for crappy chicken tenders and soggy fries. The exchange rate on Int. Street for a soft pretzel was a pinky last time I was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback96 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 This is uncommon knowledge...but some rides are moved 6 inches to the east every other month. To compensate for Leap Day, of course. Also, every ride is moved to the west-southwest by about 1 inch every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Don't forget the 2" per year raising of the land so that KI stays "above" CP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopan Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Congo falls being removed? He must have heard that from the dipping dots guy. The Boo Blasters photo booth is gone also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 It's funny, I looked over the thread again and the fanciful comments about things moving make it sound a bit like I was pulling the OP's leg about the funnel cake stand. Seriously? They tore down the funnel cake stand just to rebuild it across the way? Why would they do that? There is something happening in Rivertown that necessitated the movement of the stand and WWC's entrance. We're not sure what yet, but it looks like it will be a new coaster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
