RedSummit20 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Super Excited for the park to open this year! Figured we can use this as a CLEAN new thread to talk about the rest of the year. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/park-update 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyrider Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 This makes me so happy that they are having a special time period opening for just season pass holders. I am sure this will entice many people to buy a pass this year especially since it will be good next season too! I tried to login into the app to be prepared in anticipation for the reservation system but when I said forgot password it says internal system error. I hope this gets fixed soon so I don’t have any issues once they do open it up to make reservations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatbandguy8807 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I havent been able to login to the app for over a year now... If I try to log in or sign up I just get the loading circle and that's as far as it's gone... I had it up for 30 min earlier this year to see if it would eventually load... It never didSent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoreFogPlease Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It looks like they are moving the tables six feet apart, for that building (restaurant?) next to Diamondback's entrance/exit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blog: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/blog/2020/june/new-dodgem-entrance-sign-installed-at-kings-island Love the sign! Even in the midst of COVID-19, the park still spends time and money to enhance the park! I am a sucker for small improvements like this. I love all of the TLC Coney Mall has been getting recently. Ever since Coney BBQ in 2018, Coney Mall has consistently gotten more attention than any other area of the park. And it will probably continue to get more attention with the removal of Vortex. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUN&ONLY! Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 This picture from Chad Showalter really shows how massive the new sign is. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 That is a really big sign. Hopefully, Zephyr, Scrambler, and Monster`s signs can get some love in the coming seasons. I still miss the lights they used to have around those signs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIghostguy Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I really am delighted they are bringing back the red, white and blue color scheme that was original to the area, but not to that building. Is this the first time the current Dodgem building has been repainted since it was built? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombraiderTy Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 The new Dodgem sign looks wonderful. It appears to be a near-copy of Cedar Point's, although I'm not sure if ours will be backlit or not (image from Wikimedia) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool75 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Looks like they played off the old Cuddle Up logo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As noted above, the new sign is the same design as Cedar Point's sign, and Cedar Point's sign was added back in 2004. Cedar Point's sign was definitely going for a 1950s/1960s retro look though, which Cuddle Up's sign un-ironically achieved when it (the sign, not the ride) was added in the 1960s. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zexeos Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 So, is it possible to actually place a reservation yet? Just bought my passes and we're trying to get things set up for an opening day visit. I don't see where to reserve on the App anywhere... Any help or information would be appreciated. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had issues at the beginning of the year, reset my password through CP website, and it let me sign in to KI site after that.

From the blog post you quoted: Quote In addition to the new sign, the exterior of the Dodgem has received a fresh coat of paint. I love the new look of the attraction. It'll really add some color to Coney Mall. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUN&ONLY! Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Did Kings Island replace the American flags? Maybe they changed them to Kings Island flags to honor Tom Dillingham which I think is a great way to honor such an important figure, but I wonder if they are going to keep these flags.

Yes, because those signs were directly transposed from Cincinnati's Coney Island. My statement that the new sign is the same as the one that Cedar Point installed 16 years ago, and that any relation to Cuddle Up's sign is likely a coincidence, still stands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
