sixflagsguy5 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 It amazes me that KI still offers early morning ride time for season pass holders after all these years. Great customer service and incentive to buy a pass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestreak Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 ^ I believe almost every CF park does early ride time in some fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorneyKid14 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 ^^ this is true. Every park does it in the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philrad71 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I approve of this festival...and may have to figure out a way to attend this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummermattk Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Just came across this photo from about 5 days ago. I know we can see it on the webcams. But they're clearing a good amount of land on the back end of the park. You may have to zoom in on the picture but there's a lot of land being cleared....

KICoasterkev Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Is that a new picture? I think there's a pic like that from last year when they was about to announce for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I've been keeping an eye on the land clearing as well but looking back in this thread the same parcel of land was cleared when Banshee opened. I have no idea what it could be, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Just came across this photo from about 5 days ago. I think my favorite part of March is watching the leaves change color. Awesome picture! Next weekend we're going leaf-peeping. I hope I'm not disappointed. That picture set the bar really high for March foliage.

thrillrider Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 That area is/ has been clear for years. It used to be the area where the campground used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Peck Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 For the record, that photo was taken in Fall of 2014 with a drone the park used. I'm still keeping my eye on the area where the old funnel cake stand was. They built a whole new funnel stand, are moving the basketball throw under Diamondback's helix as well as putting a new soccer game next to it. And they also are redirecting the entrance (and i think exit) for the rapids ride, so something is happening with a good-sized plot of land in rivertown.

Vonni Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 ^ Oh, now that is very interesting! I'd love to see a coaster in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Zo Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Kings Island was designated as StormReady by the National Weather Service. It's a process that ensures the quality of their plans for preparedness, communication, shelter and safety during severe weather. They join a few other Cedar Fair parks with the designation, including Cedar Point.

John Peck Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 As I broke the news yesterday on my facebook page, "Kings Island: Past Present and Future", KI has posed the new park map. Noticeable things are the new games under Diamondback's helix before the splashdown, the new funnel cake stand, tropical plunge, new FunPix™ locations... and a big empty space where old funnel cake stand was in rivertown. www.visitkingsisland.com/plan-a-visit/park-map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummermattk Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 New map design looks nice! But a new coaster in rivertown?............I cant see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeFanshee Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 New map design looks nice! But a new coaster in rivertown?............I cant see it. I'm not guessing we'll see a Rivertown coaster either, but I'm definitely guessing that there's a good chance we could see a Gerstlauer Sky Roller like Canada's Wonderland is getting this year.

drummermattk Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Photo creds to the parks twiter! Slide pieces leading out of the splash pools have been installed! ^Honestly i can possibly see that. Mainly because CW is like a testing ground for Cedar Fair. Im still kinda wishing maybe they bring back a newer version of an old ride people loved back in the 70's, Like a rotor, an enterprise, or antique cars. *Edit 3/26/2016 Just found a couple more recent picture (yes its recent) that a friend reposted from the KIGames twitter page. Looks like the games this year will be going digital! Also found on Greg Scheid's twitter that the restrooms across from Hank's burrito shack (near the beginning of Coney Mall by Racer) is being completely updated.
