Weren’t some of these billboards in that area transformed for the Winterfest Shooting Star Drive-in theming with vintage billboard advertisements? Maybe they are just putting back the regular billboards?

Yes, they were themed to the Drive-In. I bet you they're just changing it back to the tunnel sign for Backlot.

Looks like the I-Street cam is down.

The I-street cam has been turned off for a few weeks now. Typically, right after Winterfest they turn it off so we can’t watch the ice rink and decorations being disassembled. However, this year the cam stayed up for most of February to watch the decking of the ice rink taken out exposing the actual fountain as well as the Eiffel Tower light stings being removed. Then they turned the cam off likely for the start of I-Street construction on the new gift shops. Likely won’t come back on line until passholder preview in April as not to spoil the big reveal.

The Kings Island mobile app has been updated to display the 2025 version of the explorable map. Features such as Bluegill Lagoon, Riverbank Slide Out, the Tadpool, and River Racers have all been added, however the latter does not have a marker displayed. Soak City's new entrance plaza is also reflected. The parade route (formerly marked by two parallel white lines) has been replaced by a dotted line. Viking Fury's entrance path has been fixed as well. The two buildings between Graeter's and the First Aid building have been removed from the map, but I haven't seen anything about demolition permits so I'd assume they just got removed from the map since guests can't enter them. Overall it seems that the mistakes found on the original version of this map have been fixed, which is very nice since it will let guests have a more accurate read on the layout of the park. 

 

One very interesting thing about the map as it currently stands is the fact that markers from all events are displayed, including Grand Carnivale, Halloween Haunt, Tricks and Treats, and Winterfest. Xtreme Skyflyer's markers are also still displayed, however the ride itself has been removed from the map.

Right, it was kind just a random look at the site and boom it's down. I will say I don't think it's due to the I-Street gift shop construction as it was always out of the camera view anyway.
