Oldschool75 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 From Baynum: I didn’t know they had painted the tower on 1989. That’s the year I believe it went blue from the previous green. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUN&ONLY! Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 If anyone has seen it recently, how is the Eiffel Tower looking? If so, can we determine what color it is going to be. I have seen some pictures where the Eiffel Tower is partially bronze color, but I don’t know if that is actually how it is going to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Power washing the tower is continuing, and it looks like site preparations for paint work have begun. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 This is the side of the tower facing south toward Planet Snoopy. This area had been stripped last week and was clearly painted, as the color pops up on the “box” at the top. I’ve heard rumors of different colors but so far it looks as if at least this part will remain the same. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey- with how much Haunt was slashed this year they do have a gap in the lineup that this could fill. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ding Dong Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 21 minutes ago, IndyGuy4KI said: Will it have fastlane? No…but something even better is in the works. The park is busy developing “Paintings” cards that allow the guests to actually be a part of the experience and history of this unique event. The cards come in 6 gallon and 9 gallon denominations and sell for $49.99 and $74.99 respectively. ($5 discount for passholders). Once the guests have finished with either card they will unlock the ability to purchase a limited edition “I Painted It!” T-shirt for just $34.99 ($5 discount for passholders). Be sure to get your early once they go on sale as they will sell out quickly and prices are likely to go up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ding Dong Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Cool. Did you get the 6 or 9 gallon card? Looks to me like the 9. Did you pay cash for it or have to use the cash to card kiosk? I keep seeing reports on social media that the park is still accepting cash despite what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan73 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Whenever I see one of those news crews at the park really in the morning like that, I always think how I would pay good money to be able sit there with a coffee and watch the fountains at that time of day.

That's really cool, but I would pass as the whole unharnessed while being that up high thing would freak me out... but kudos to the men and women stepping up and doing that job! -MDMC, who gets nervous while watching Youtube videos of people playing at dangerous heights or the one where someone is giving a tour from the top of Kingda Ka....

Shawn Meyer Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 So out of curiosity, did they start from the top of the tower? It seemed like that a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the top of the tower is all they have completely finished so far. Kings Island probably wanted to get the top done in time for Halloween Haunt. The ready of the tower seems like it is being prepped for a final coat of green paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIghostguy Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Good look at the Eiffel Tower from yesterday It looks to be finished, but I imagine there are still some finishing touches since the park never posted that this project was complete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
