Rivertown Rider Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I just watched them take another one. A retheme would be nice especially if something is going in The Vortex spot in '26. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfestguy Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klabergian Empire Posted Thursday at 12:35 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 12:35 AM Now that I think about it, the removal of Xtreme Skyflyer is the largest change to Kings Islands skyline since the removal of Sling Shot in May 2022. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted Thursday at 11:02 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:02 PM 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 The parade route (formerly marked by two parallel white lines) has been replaced by a dotted line.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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robintodd Posted Friday at 04:58 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:58 PM It's official first sign of spring. Some people say when you see robins, for us it's when woodstock's whirlybirds are bing placed on the tracks.

Opening day is right around the corner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
