Oh my mistake. I thought it was the final day of operation. I believe I mixed up Woodstock Gliders and Tropical Plunge. 

Lol hope I didn't come off as rude I just remember it like it was yesterday lol.

that was on the 2nd to final day of operation 

A winterfest reborn, and new themed dark rides

Ok I have got to be honest. I'm getting a little restless now. We are currently in the middle of August and still have no word as to when our second announcement is coming. And as if that isn't bad enough I look at other CF parks and they have announcements planned and already announced and for Petes sake one even has a flipping ' hotline for hints. A hotline!!! Not trying to be ungrateful I just think it's time to throw us a bone on this second announcement guys. Please :: cute and sad big eyed puppy dog face emoji ::

Maybe this second announcement is really that big, that it is taking longer than they anticipated. Idk.

Careful Dub, you know what happens to the beggars and demanders. First they are stashed under the tarps, then we move the bodies through the "secret tunnels" and then they become part of the footers.

Even though being part of something epics footers sounds super tempting I'll have to retract my previous plea

Maybe we can have a golden footing for the last one much like the golden spike for the transcontinental railroad. 

Maybe the announcement is going to be made only on social media......

It would be awesome if we got 2 new dark rides and they are being done in the old Action Theater and the old Crypt building and Winterfest for next season that would be pretty awesome and they could be open at Winterfest too. 

If they put dark rides into Action Theatre and Crypt's old buildings, and revamped/spruced up Boo Blasters (either itself or preferably a Peanuts theme) then I think Kings Island would become my favorite regional park. I love dark rides and having three in one park would be amazing.

If we had three ideally I would like to see a classic style omnimover dark ride back in BB building themed to Peanuts, a Curse of Darkastle type ride in Action Theatre and a Triotech type shooter in Crypt's building. Either a multi-floor that is like Voyage to the Iron Reef or a coaster hybrid like Wonder Mountain's Guardian. Think that'd give us a great mix of family, thrilling, and interactive.

I really hope it's not another shooter dark ride. I don't know what makes the Triotech versions popular, having never ridden one, but I want to just enjoy riding, if I wanted to "participate" I'd go to the arcade.

I'm hoping that it's a dark ride. I also hope it's Phantom Theater returning. But of course, what I hope for and what actually happens are two entirely different things. If it is a dark ride, I hope it's not a Triotech or something with video screens. Those just don't feel as immersive as something like the Haunted Mamsion or Pirates of the Caribbean.

I do think that something old will be back this year. The past few years, old attractions are returning, but in different ways. In 2014, The Bat came back...as a repaint of Flight Deck. In 2015, the Flying Eagles came back...as Woodstock Gliders. In 2016, the vine tunnel is back...but as the entrance to White Water Canyon.

Annoucement is tomorrow at 11AM in Festhaus per KI's Facebook.

Not the announcement. But the announcement for the announcement happened on Social Media

Looks like another big announcement tomorrow. Last year in Soak City for Tropical Plunge , Festhaus announcement for maybe they will refurbish Festhaus like Harmony Hall in Carowinds. That would be nice and if history is correct 2017 season pass should be available to renew or purchase. Canada Wonderland is already showing 2017 season pass for sale.

KI Also announced the new Parking Plaza in Soak City as well.

If one person didn't know and finds out by my post, my job is done. *fingerscrossed*

Haha. I'll give you that one.

I am hoping they finally show Pig-Pen some love,

Just got done riding the train so I hope the new announcement is re theme of the train route. Well it was exciting to see the construction the rest of the train route was a little disappointing

Edit : sorry I just notice my text wasn't on here. Speaking of characters not getting love... I haven't seen Woodstock walking around this year.

Unlikely but I'm really hoping Winterfest, a more likely option for this would be a used flat ride, it would be amazing to have the Drunkin Barrels come back!

^ Wouldn't Winterfest be for this year? Don's tweet just a bit ago specifically said the announcement was "pertaining to 2017"

Honestly, some of the comments on Kings Island's Facebook post about the announcement are hilarious. Removing Vortex, lowering the price of fries, claims that an employee told them it's Winterfest, ect.... There's also a really sarcastic guy, making it even better.

Personally, I think it might be a dark ride going in Big Tan Box.
