Losantiville Mining Co. Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 If Kings Island put you (yes you, dear reader) in charge of one non-ride/non-coaster last minute addition to the park for the 2025 season, what would it be? Assume all of the permitting/ordering/installation is taken care of and goes smoothly. I would put some money and effort into upping the amount of trees, shade, and dedicated cooling stations around the park. That way guests who would like a cup of cold water can get one without needing to go to a bee-covered soda dispenser or spend $4 per bottle. It would also help the park in their hypothetical quest to remove water dispensers from soda machines. Maybe put one in that Rivertown refresh stand by the arcade that is always closed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex1987 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Sending the seats from the giant top spin that are in FOF's building to me. Or at least the restraints off of them. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback_Is_King Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Add a themed sit down restaurant. Something that has different props inside. The theme could be space, haunted ghosts, or something to do with the woods and The Beast. You could call it, Cosmos, Ghostly Grill, or The Tavern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 S&S Screamin Swing in empty plot of land behind International Showplace... oh wait, non ride... darn. A complete re-do of the International Restaurant, open on a permanent basis. No weird menu - no couscous crap... just good old standard meat and potatoes menu.

coastergoblin Posted Tuesday at 01:56 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:56 AM If I could put in any last minute addition it would probably be to convert the second story La Rosas’s into a podcasting studio for Tower Topics. Imagine a state of the art facility, similar to the Joe Rogan Experience, nestled in the heart of the park, so Don and Ryan can truly focus and hone in on their craft. Additionally, in The Vortex plot two separate mansions for Don and Ryan respectively, along with a heli-pad and helicopter for when they need to film content for Worlds of Pod or a guest is flying in. This way they can chill at the park 24/7, give these guys their own refresh stations respectively that no one can get to, and unlimited Pub Burgers. Also a prestige lounge (for tower topics prestige members only) that’s the height of the burj khalifa for them to chill and hang out and film reels for content. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about retail space to sell Tower Topics t-shirts and our soon-to-be released line of merchandise and apparel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purdude86 Posted Tuesday at 06:40 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:40 PM I agree with additional trees and landscaping, especially around the kids area and Rivertown. Would like to see Camp Snoopy take over all of it and get a lot more woodsy feel and trees throughout for additional shade and nice transition into Rivertown. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it was called the International Restaurant because its at the end of International Street. ;-) Even back when it opened, it offered more a more "common fare" menu (The same kind of menu I was speaking of... meat and potatoes.) The more diverse/themed entrees were served at the various eateries on the midway based on the country being represented (Sausage at the German/Swiss venue, Beignets at the French Corner etc) IMO, the International Buffet tried a bit to hard to be diverse during its recent Winterfest offerings... and the menu & price kept people away. Sure kept me from going back. Example of an original IR menu: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Meyer Posted yesterday at 10:19 PM Share Posted yesterday at 10:19 PM My idea would be more towards making the tomb raider building smaller since it's just a haunt in September and October. They don't need that much ceiling in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it themed to Rivertown and some abandoned mine (Like Mystery Mine at Dollywood). You could call it "Mine Shaft Madness" and it be located in the "Rivertown Mining Company" This could be a logo: Plus, another indoor ride during hot/cold days and a new Winterfest addition!
