Oldschool75 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Is that a new facade on skyline? Looks like a wall just resting on the railings Long story on that one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool! That area has actually been there for awhile. It's right in front of Larosas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perimeter of grass around the fountains has been an even width. This map implies the width is more narrow because of a setting patio. The announcement said that we'll be able to get closer to the fountains than before. I think we are seeing that reflected in the map. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trees are probably way too large to transplant. Not to mention the root systems in the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like, according to this map, that the dining area is right next to the water. This would be protruding farther than it previously did.

teenageninja Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I think you guys are SEVERELY over analyzing a cartoon map version that is rarely accurate for how that area is going to look. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I mean if we take every little artistic difference as gospel to what's happening at the park, that clearly means Delirium is going back to it's original paint scheme, Shake Rattle & Roll will have Green, Red & Yellow cars, they're adding supports above the track for the train as it crosses over WWC, Kite Eating Tree is going down to 1 side, Woodstock WhirlyBirds is going to have rocket shaped vehicles vs the helicopters from years prior, Scrambler will go back to the yellow color scheme, etc. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixohdieselrage Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hey sweet! They removed the HR buildings/etc and planted grass there. Maybe that's where the IS trees are going? It's still fun to guess things that may or may not happen. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Long story? They put up an insulating wall that blocks off some of the windows to make the building warmer during Winterfest. It has been taken back off and is sitting in front of the building waiting to be put into storage presumably. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is a bit of an over-analyzation but why would change that part of the map unless something changed there in the park. Looking at the new map it seems we are going to have a more updated dining area than before. I understand this does not mean this is fact but it is an interesting bit to look at. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% agree with you. Why change the map if the spot itself has not been changed. Take the trees for example, why change the trees if they did not change those? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Because it's an artist's representation of the park? It's not like those tables are there at the moment they edited the map and not to mention the placement of a few things can change in the actual park compared to where they are on the map. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudeHoward Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 If we go by that map, Diamondback is like 8000 feet tall. I wouldn't take that map as gospel. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some hi-res satellite images of the park in today and wanted to share a couple of I-street. These images were taken on 2/25/2019. It doesn't show too much of what is going, its just an HD satellite image so you're just seeing everything from above. I recall some people not wanting those kinds of images, so any response on whether or not I should post these would be great. Did you get any of the old Firehawk area?

Benjamin22 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 In regards to 2019 updates and such I noticed you can add Fast Lane plus to your season pass for $500, Is this new? Ive never noticed that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin22 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I remember someone previously mentioning a composer was working with Kings Island, I know it’s probably for the fire work show but I think it’d be pretty cool if they could compose something for the speakers on I Street to play instead of mediocre pop music from 2010. Considering they’re renovating I street I’d say there’s an ok chance this could happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No element of International Street will be left untouched as crews update the Royal Fountain, install more than 130,000 new pavers, improve each building façade and enhance the landscaping. More details can be found on the the KI Blog here: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/blog/2019/january/international-street-and-royal-fountain-to-get-major-offseason-renovation?fbclid=IwAR251DIOLgO6Xh04pHIq9Z4vVmo656i3rLX8vFOPoAgDoIxHdhgs-X9XQZQ Wow, can't wait to see the transformation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinity Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I'm sure Kings Island isn't going to disappoint seeing they're replacing pavers as well. I'm glad they're focused on keeping the park spruced up lately! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
