BlondyRidesOn Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Not too sure what it will be, but I'm sure it will be interesting by the time opening day rolls around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 That'd be cool, but I'm thinking we'll see it inspired by another ride station. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoan Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Exactly. Coney Mall is kind of the retro carny feel to me. High top circus, midways at a fair, lots of big lights and carnival barkers. I'm hoping them theme Coney Macaroni up a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no prize so I don't have to worry. I did however almost accidently hit the puck into the sewer grate by The Beast. Those things will fly off easily without any effort. I had so much fun playing Air Hockey in the Coney Arcade on Closing Day (as in, the last night of Winterfest)! I distinctly remember thinking just when the game was over, more pucks spilled out onto the table. Good times! Also, I think I played more/different types of games during Winterfest than the normal season. Along with Air Hockey, I also played Center Ice (the soccer game that was converted for Winterfest) twice and that was a ton of fun. IIRC, I only went into the Arcade(s) once or twice during the Normal season; I'm usually at the park for the rides, shows, Haunt mazes and Pokemon Go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KImom Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 We always play a couple games right before we leave - if one of us wins, it's like an extra little excitement to end the night. However, we typically don't stay until close - three little kids just can't hang that long. I feel like 8-9pm has more action over in Coney with other families doing the same as us which makes it a lot more fun! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaLover Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 At this point I don’t see them announcing anything this close to opening day we are just a few weeks away.. I would guess you’ll find out what’s new when people go on opening day.. they might post it on their website a few days before listing what’s new but that’ll be it maybe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 It's likely that they won't announce anything, especially if there isn't anything really to announce. We know we'll be receiving a new restaurant of some type. If they "announce" it, it'll likely be "announced" when they put out info for this year's Dining Plans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 True that. I am surprised there isn't any other updates to the park worth mentioning. Putting pavers in or any kinda of work being done at all. Did MT deplete the KI funds haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Not even close. We know they're adding a restaurant. They likely are doing general upkeep throughout the park. Doubtful there would be an announcement for that nor is really needed. Imagine if they posted on social media "we're installing a new roof on Sweet Spot as part of our 2018 capital improvements." I cannot fathom how many responses they'd get....to the tune of "finally they're fixing some things...they need to fix Racer I about died on it once" or "I can find better things to spend money on than a roof" or "they should build a better ride than Mystic Timbers with that money." Announcing "small projects" can be a slippery slope. Sometimes it's better to not say anything at all and let folks find out for themselves. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Timbers didn't "deplete" their funds. Is typical for Kings Island to go for a fairly easy year after a big coaster is put in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 ^ I know what I was just joking. Maybe I should of put a smiley face. I know nothing is depleted lol I honestly don't care if they announce anything at all. Only Major updates! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaLover Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I would consider a new resturaunt a big update worth an announcement like on social media posts giving us pictures and renderings of drawings and stuff of what it will look like.. especially since it took some major construction of demolitioning a building and all that stuff, you all have seen the pictures... I just would have thought they would have put something on social media by like a twitter post and Instagram post about it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 You may find it worth an announcement, but apparently the park doesn't. Announcing a new restaurant, will it sell passes? Unlikely...will it boost meal plan sales? Probably. The thing I can say that confuses me about this restaurant is that they announced Smoke House in Soak City and posted a bunch of updates about it's progress (well Chef Nate did mainly). That would be the only reason I could think of for them to talk about it and show updates (because it was done in the past). I don't think that just because it's new means we are guaranteed an announcement/update. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Agreed^ That makes me wonder if it really is a restaurant? I mean it really hasn't been confirmed. We think it will be but yeah. My guess it is one but not Smoke House. I think it will be" The Mac Bowl". Just like KD is adding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I know some have seen building permits that state "Coney BBQ." I'd think it'd be safe to assume it's going to be a restaurant. What else would it be? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Yeah I am not sure. I mean that makes since. I feel both way about it. It is sorta close to festhaus. Ki does need another larger sit down restaurant. Everyone seems to love the Smoke House. I am good with Coney BBQ. It would be awesome if it was " City BBQ " that we have here in Columbus haha soooooo gooooood! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Funnel cake stand expansions, Starbucks moving buildings, and restroom remodels. These are just a few the non-Earth-shattering, not-completely-new-building-construction changes to the park that have been hyped on social media way before opening day. I'm not buying that they've simply built a new restaurant from the ground up without a peep, and are just letting people find out as they visit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
