thatbandguy8807 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 What was that on the map between Racer and FOF? I can't quite make it out. It's where the second Funpix logo is. It looks like a meteor photo op but i can't tell. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like there was a little covered bridge over the lake that they drained to make Diamondback's splashdown. I never knew about that. Very cool. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBOB Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I too am very pleased to see foldable maps return. I'm also delighted to see that each area's midways are color coded again. Something that hasn't been implemented in years. It is nice to see a continued acknowledgement of the park's individual areas. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 You know what would be awesome is if they bring back the old Kings Island logo for the 50th anniversary in 2022! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a Paramount casualty; I believe it was ripped out in the mid-90's along with the bridge over the pond in Oktoberfest. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagoda Gift Shop Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The Beast looks so weird on the new map. Because they have "squeezed" the former Vortex area which contains nothing, Beast looks like it is almost behind the Eiffel Tower. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest if they’ve already printed a bunch they’ll probably just end up using them next year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver8rws Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 It's funny (silly?) to me they can still call that "area" Oktoberfest.... Is it really even an area anymore? How is Viking Furry "Oktoberfest"? And the slingshot thing? What about the Festhaus you say? Oh, you mean the "panda express building"? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumor is that even the gold tags were staying home for the last two weeks. I will say that I only did a drive by 3 times in the last two weeks One odd development during the last week is that a large number of cars have been parked in the far north corner over by GWL and I don’t think they have moved in a few days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
